Semi Pneumatic
Tire Is Latest

1t is not so many years since the
first motor vehicle made it's appear
ance on the roads of America, yet, in
the short time that has elapsed since
then, the development of the motor
vehicle has been amazing and ire
mendous.
The rubber tire has played no small
part in the development of the motor
truck industry. Indeed it may not
be amiss to say that were it not for
the invention of the solid rubber tire
it is a question if the motor vehicle
industry could have reached the pro
portions it has.
Be that as it may, with the contin-
ual growth of the motor truck in
dustry and it's adoption into the life
of practically every town, village and
hamlet in this country, the demands
upon the motor vehicle became more
and more numerous and more and
more exacting. The inventive and
! progressive genius of the motor yehi-
Gle industry, however, kept pace with
the needs of the moment, and step by
i,step with the motor vehicle industry
the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company
contributed its quota of improve
ments to help the motor Vehicle play
it's part to the complete satisfaction
of the business life of the country.
Yet, although the contributions of
Goodrich have been many and
weghty. indeed, in many respects
vital, to the progress of the motor
truck, it is a question if the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company has to it's
credit an achievement that can COM
pare with it's latest and newest in
vention, namely: the development of
what is likely to be the greatest i'm
provement in truck tires that has put
in an appearance in the past five
years, the Semi Pneumatic Truck
Tire.
The Semi Pneumatic Truck Tire is
exactly what it's name implies. Pos
sessing solid tire characteristics, it
has TO an exceptional degree the re-
silence and cushioning qualities of a
pneumatic truck tire.

effect by bank loans was depreciatingy
the value of all money, including
gold itself. Under ordinary condi-
tons, with the rest of the world on
the gold basis, as before the war,
such an increase of bank loans in the
United States, accompanied by rising
prices, would have turned the trade
balance against this country, caused
exports Of gold. and by the loss Of
bank reserves compelled restric-]
ton of lending, but with the trade
balance heavily in our favor this
steadying influence was not in effect.
It has been charged that the Fed
eral Reserve authorities and other
bankers set out deliberately to debate
prices. but this is not the case. They
set out TO check the alarming increase
of bank loans and to hold the volume
of reserve bank liabilities within the
limit fixed by the law.
In the fall of 1919 the country was at
the parting of the ways. The reserves
of the Federal Reserve banks were
down practically to the limit set by
the Federal Reserve Act-a limit
fixed with careful and unbiased judg-
rnent when the act was passed before
the war. The Federal Reserve Act
provides that tbs reserve require
Inents may be suspended for period
of thirty days and that such suspen-
sion may be renewal for periods not
exceeding fifteen days but these are
clearly emergency provisions. More
over, the law provides that a, grad
uated tax shall be, levied upon the
amount by which these reserves fall
below the regular limit. and also that
the rate of the tax shsll be added to
the regular discount rates while tho
deficiency continues. These pro-
visions clearly show tl.e purpose and
spirit of the law.
The banking situation at the close
of 1919 had practically reached the
position where the law required these
provisions to- become effective, and
the steps gradually taken by the Fed
eral Reserve banks to increase dis
count rates were for that purpose,
There was no sudden stop in the In
crease of loans in fact the aggregate
continued to grow untl the fall Of
1920. Moreover. the record shows
that the prevailing impression tia:
the reserve banks have Disseminated
against the agricultural sections j,
not borne out by the record. A
analysis of reports from about 9,N
!. member banks throughout the coun'
