tered doors and a general aspect Of
mob violence.
1t was a laughing mob. Thousands
yelled different wishes and then all
laughed. Their were jokes. There
was brutality. A white man mounted
the pole above a dying negro and
kicked him repeatedly in the face. A
s%trangling negro fell when a rope
broke. A big white man grabbed the
negro by the throat and tried to kill
him. Another rope. a strong one, was
found, and the white man let loose.
Today the city is calm. Men stand
in groups, discussing the tragic
nights work. Good, fine job" is the
street sentiment. An ~undercurrent of
horror, however, is assuming shape.

the Super Tread or wide tread idea
in tires.
Many roads over which the motor
lists travel. outside Of cities where
the streets are well paved. contain
bumps every few feet. ranging from
tho rocking chair bumps. which
merely roll the car from side to side.
TO tho chatter bumps" short. shall
low bumps which often cause tho rear
wheels to leave the ground. and
regular "shakers-up."

with the wide tread principle
which we build into our Super Tread

the case with narrow tread tires.

Our experiments have proven
many other advantages for this new
tread principle. Even when our
super Tread tires are under!nnated
there is less strain on the side walls.
because the wide tread gives the
proper road contact with less bend
ing OF the sides. The tread wears
down more slowly because the wear
is distributed over a wider portion
OF the surface.
There is also a marked saving In
tho consumption OF gasoline. because
tho side walls do not bend. and there
is less drag against the engine"
