twice the wages that 1t received

"All chemical compounds which

FABRIC, PRINCIPAL
ELEMENT in TIRE,
HAS NOT DROPPED
Low Price of Rubber Not
Sole Determinant, Says
Manager.

Speak OF the rubber industry"
says Frank Fickling, branch man
ager of the Washington branch Of
the Lee Tire and Rubber Company,
"and the making of automobile
pneumatic tires comes to mind as
the biggest and perhaps most neces-
sary part of IT. People think of
tires as so much rubber. Statisti-
clans estimate that the average
pleasure car consumes about So
pounds of crude rubber annually.
The nations automobiles wear out
every year about 500. 100000 pounds
OF rubber. Nearly everything abouy
tire Is expressed in terms of rub-
Der. Perhaps there is some excuse
therefore for the popular inference
that. when the rubber market stubs
its toe, as 1t did some months ago,
tires should be cheaper than they
are today.
stand in the receiving room of
any large tire plant and watch the
shipment of enormous rolls of cot
ton fabric coming in day by day
and you will realize how dependent
this right arm of the rubber indus
try Is upon the textile industry.
Tire dealers will tell you that
they occasionally run across people
who think that the automobile tire
Is composed entirely of rubber and
that rubber Is poured into a mould
In the making of a tire. The aver
age tire-user knows a lot better
than that. but he does not know
that the fabric in a Ford size tire,
for example, weighs almost as much
as the rubber. In a truck tire
35x5 inches, there Is more than 81
square yards of cord fabric. with
out the reinforcement of fabric the
rubber automobile tire would no,
hold up.
To illustrate the great quantity
Of fabric incorporated with rubber
in a years output of tires, the Lee
company have made an interesting
calculation. Imagine a huge circu.

the satisfaction Of motor vehicle
manufacturers with the plan gave
evidence that all possible encrts
would be made to cooperate fully

emanating from the Department OF

To that end a committee OF the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce is to be appointed. which
will cooperate with the Department
OF Commerce in devising plans TOT

The cooperation will result in 9

Commerce familiar with the partic-
ular countries in which the cam
paign is to be launched. Through
these conferences. the promotiys
work could be made to conform tc
the actual requirements Of the va
rious countries.
This intelligence service Is to corr
