A HUGE INDUSTRIAL EFFORT

Several weeks ago the Association
of Railway executive laid their cards
on the table, and told the American
public that the railroads had come
out of the war short on equipment,
and somewhat the worse for wear.
They asked the public to cooperate
with them in getting greater amount
OF service per car out of the railroad
equipment New cars were out of
the question, and the railroads asked
the shippers to join with them in a
huge industrial effort to overcome the
car shortage.
What has been accomplished"
says American Railroads, the official
publication of the association, is i'm
portant, but it is noteworthy that in
no case do the roads express salts
faction with what they have done;
on the contrary, they regard the ad-
vance to date merely as a step for
ward toward higher goals.
The amount of freight handled by
the railroads of the United States
in August, 1918, was 7 per cent great
er than had ever been handled in that
month. But in August, 1920, the rail-
roads moved more than 1000 car
loads in excess of the 1918 record.
"In July, the last month on record,
the average mileage per freight car
increased to ISL miles per day, which
is greater by a. miles for July, 1919.
This, in the fewest possible words,
shows the result as whole of the
individual effort recorded in the re-
ports herewith presented.
What makes the railroads realize
that they must go on breaking trans
portation records is the fact that in
the first week of September car
acquisitions in excess of the number
that the railways could supply were
a little more than the figure for mid
August. This fact indicates no dimin-
uation in the present demand for
1t will be met by an
uniiminished effort on the part Of
the railroads"

1880 for three, $500 for four and
$4,000 francs for a five-car train.
The regulations specify that the
cars must be equipped with engines
Of not more than three liters, equiv
alent of 1873 cubic inches, piston dis
placement, and minimum weight of
1868 pounds, with four wheels, tires
and oil in the base chamber, but with
out water, gasoline, spare parts, tools
or spare wheels. The driver and me-
chanic together must weigh 264
pounds, or sealed ballast to equal the
amount must be carried. There are
no chassis or body restrictions other
than maximum length of tail of 50
inches, measured from the rear hub
cap to the entreme rear.

France to Revive
Grand Prix Race

Announcement has recently been re-
ceiyed by motor car manufacturers in
this country that the Automobile Club
of France has decided to revive the
famous Grand Prix race in July, 1921.
The conditions are materially differ
ent from former events, and the en-
try fees made higher; in fact, the
highest that have ever been required
for any motor car contest. A maxi
mum Of five cars may be entered by
one manufacturer, the fees being TO-
600 francs for one car, $4,000 for two,

ARE PRICES SKIDDING?

The department Of labor says that
~ out of SO articles going into the
family market basket have decreased
in price within the month. The same
department found that 10 out of IA
representative industries showed a
decrease in the number of employees
last month. Wheat, flour, cotton, tex
tiles, automobiles, leather and even
sugar, has moved downward. Most
of the readjustments are arriving
gradually, and there is evidence that
the country is returning to the sanity
of normal periods. Many leading
manufacturers have reached the con-
clusion that they can help in getting
things back to normal, by pocketing a
loss on supplies on hand. They be-
lieve that this policy will eventually
work out to their own good, and that
OF the country.

Tires Ruled by
Bulge on Wave
That Works Pull
Experts Give Important
Facts on Operation
and on Care.

A curious thing about tires is that
they continually roll up hill. This is
due to what is scientifically termed
traction wave" but what is popu-
larly called bulge" Both terms
of the elastic carcass of the tire,
which by weight and forward pull
is forced just ahead of road contract.
In motion the tire is continually
attempting to run over this traction
wave, which, just ahead always
e1udes it. incidentally under-infla-
ton increases the wave.
On a plain tread, the wave runs
round and round and round the tire.
But tread design with backbone
ribbed or cogged, has been found eff
iective in dividing and in throwing
it off each side, according to Miller
tire men. Some treads are CORFU
gated; some are smooth; some in
dented, but purpose of all of them
is to provide maximum traction to
overcome this wave.
The tread must provide also tor
minimum road resistance, for mini
mum injury to the carass under
meath and for maximum road wear.
Like the soles of shoes, tread must
absorb direct wear. Different kinds
of service have their individual eff
fects. Scouting, skidding, spinning,
tearing effects of rough roads-a1l
these have tendency to promote
rapid wear.
When a tread is torn or badly
worn, it should be taken to a COM
petent tire surgeon. He will Itell
whether it is worth repair

THE ARMY SKY-P1LOT
SERVICE.


The high moral tone achieved NV
the United States army during the
world war made such a hit with
congressman who had been used to
having the regulars" crowd them
off the Washington pavements in the
olden days, that they provided for
approximately $50 new chaplains in
the new army reorganization bill,
Major General P. c. Harris, the adj
Jutant general of the army. says that
in recruiting the chaplain has an
unusual opportunity for service with
the induction of raw men into the
service" and it is his purpose to car
~ out the policy of the war depart
ment to make soldering a clean lob
for clean men, instead of rough
and-tumble existence that appeals to
tough guys and ne-er-do-weils.
Colonel John T. Axton has been
appointed chief of the chaplains, and
il is said that he is broad enough to
look for salvation for the boys, with
out particular attention to supplying
