MILLION
 TIRES TO BE
 NEEDS IF 1921

Maximum requirements for tires in the United States during 1921 win run between 2S,00e.000 and S0,000,0o0, ac cording to Jack Bidinger of the Chans- Tor and Lyon company, coast distrib utter for Lee tires. He said:
 It is estimated that production of automobile tires during the spring of 1920 exceeded 150,00 a day. The pro- auction during November and Decem- Der of the same year fell to about 35 0oO 9 day. less than the daily produc tgon of the larger tire companies dur ing the spring of that year In othhr words, production of tires from the spring of 1920 to the fall of the same year fell to between 20 per cent and 25 per cent of the maximum productive capacity.
 Some of the best authorities esti- mate that in 1921 there will be pro duced about 100000 new cars and ] trucks. of those TOW in use it is prob- able that from ,000 to 750,000 will go into the scrap heap this year, or that the increase in 1921 will be prob ably 500,0 900, or about 9,000,000 motor vehicles in use in 1921.
 On this basis. the country would re- quire about 000, GOO tires for new cara. and with the S.000,000 old cars in use. it 1 would require approximately 24,ooO,000 tires to supply renewals.
 It is estimated that the tire com panies have at their factories and in ! the hands of their branches at the pres ent about 6,000,O00 tires. This is only l that about 250000O0 tires should be necessary for them to have on hand at all times So to carry the normal stock to supply their business it would seem
 that about 25.000, 900 tires should be manufactured by the companies this
 year for domestic use. Production tC
 supply this need should be at the rate
 of about 100000 tires daily
 It does not seem possible to me, Witf
 the large commitments of the larger
 tire companies in future contracts ant
 high priced fabric and in large inven- ! tories of rubber at much higher prices that any reduction in prices can b' looked for in the immediate future O
 until these inventories have beer

 AVERAGING ONE
 GAR PE R DAY

SPRINGFIELD Mass. March 19 The Rolls Royce factory, with the ad- vent of March 1, reached a production of one car per day. Six hundred workmen are now employed by the companys plant here and practically everything entering into the construc- ton of the car is being manufactured within the plant. Electrical equipment is not included as this is being irn- ported from England. The machine shop now has so 600 square feet of space and is equipped throughout with American machinery.
 All of the sod men are Americans with the exception of the department heads who were brought across from England on account of their experience with the concern there.

Lengthening Value Stems Easy When
 You knoU HolD!

In the course of time valve stem that has been in service will shorten owing to the hammering action of the tappet on it's lower enc. This shorten ing means incorrect opening and clos ing of the valve. If the valve IS an exhaust valve, loss of power will be the result, and overheating will be noticed. The proper cause is frequent ly overlooked and time will be spent in examining other parts 10 locate the trouble.
 The valve stem can be heightened in a very simple manner which saves the expense of fitting a new valve. The end of the valve stem is annealed, if IL has been hardened, and a small hole drilled in it's center and tapped for a machine screw. Into this hole is screwed a fillister head screw, which is filed down to make the length just right. taking up the wear.

denmark CREDIT
BEING DISCUSSED.
Credit System Planned to
Cope With American
Competition

The leading coal trade journal Of
Denmark printed In Copenhagen
states the following in regard to
credit conditions In that country
and other parts Of Europe:
THE export OF coal from South
Wales had for many months been
suffering under the awaiting OF d
credit system, which is a necessity.
il the export shall succeed in get
ting re-establtshed. It is reported
from the Exchange at Cardiff, that
the Board Of Trade has agreed to
extend the credit system of coal
to Italy and the Portuguese Col
onies.
THE export increase which
thereby eventually is expected to
take place will cost the government
about 100000 pounds sterling.
This system which already was in
augurated on the 22nd of August,
Aas been laid out by the efficient
members OF the Board OF Trade
at Cardiff, ], c. Gould, NJ. F., and
he is endeavoring to extend this
still further.
1T has been suggested to the
government that France, Greece.
and Spain should next be included
under this system. II this should
happen it will mean much for
South Wales because this will en-
able the exporters to offer the same
credit which Is offered by other
coal dealers all over the world. The
creation OF this system Is due to
the unusual position which America
has gained on the coal markers by
means OF an extended credit.

Quality Basis On
For Pool Numbers

That quality coal will play big
part in the fuel that is TO be sold
is made clear in an article from
Philadelphia to the American Coal
journal, which is as follows:
There Is a we'll defined inclina-
ton on the part Of the trade to
deal with consumers or a quality
coal, basis rather than to quote
pools. The practical passing Of the
Tidewater Coal Exchange has had
much to do with this plan and many
firms declare they will not quote
pools any longer and will do all
business with the railroads direct.
"As a result there is practically
no coal going to the piers, only
some little tonnage that is being
used to bunker the few ships in the
Delaware. At both the Port Rich
nond and Greenwich piers there is
an air OF iesolation brought ABOUT
by the changing export conditions"

OF Lionel Davis had been sufficiently
revealed. Even the credulous Mrs.
kelso turned against him. Mr.. Lin
coins skill as a lawyer was recognized
in the north as wen as In the middle
counties. From that day forth no
man enjoyed a like popularity In Taze-
well county.
When Samson and Harry Needles
left the courthouse. there seemed to
be no obstacle between the young man
and the consummation of his wishes.
Unfortunately, as they were going
down the steps Davis, who blamed
Samson for his troubles, flung an In
suit at the sturdy vermonter. Sam
son, who had then arrived ut years OF
firm discretion, was little disturbed by
the anger of a man so dlscredlted.
But Harry. on the sound OF the hate
full words, had leaped forward and
dealt the Spectator savage blow In
the face which for few seconds had
deprived him OF the power Of speech
That evening n friend OF Davis called
at the City hall with challenge. The
hot-blooded young soldier accepted II
against the urgent counsel OF Samson
Traylor, Mr.. Lincoln having left the
city.
As TO the details of the tragic scene
that followed next day. the writer
has little knowledge. Samson was
not the type OF man for such chron-
icle. The diary speaks OF his part in
Il with shame and sorrow and re-
morse. We know that Il was at day
break when he and Harry rode to
point on the prairie Something more
than a mile from the city limits"
There he tells us they met Davis and
one friend of the latter and two sur
geons. II Is evident, too, that great
secrecy had been observed in the plan
and its execution and that, until some
| time after the last act, Lincoln knew
nothing OF the later developments In
| the drama OF Davis downfall. For
the rest Of the deplorable scene the
historian must content himself with
the naked details In the diary Of a
puritan pioneer.
81 went because there was no escape
from II and with the shadow OF Gods
