URGE fewer SIZES
IN TIRES AND RIMS
Automobile Engineers Devise
Plan to Reduce Costs for
Makers and Dealers.

Automobile engineers have decided to
use fewer sizes Of tires and rims as
original equipment on passenger cars in
the future. The reduction in the num-
Der Of sizes will result in decreased
costs to the tire and automobile manu-
facturers, to the dealer and to the auto
mobile user. as less money will be tied
up in machinery and finished products
The sizes which will not be used in
future production are the 32x3A. 33x4
and 33X4 \ lin. rim sizes and 32X3R
33x4 and 33X4 in. regular, and 33X4,
34x412 and 34X5-in. oversize tires. The
3Ox3 12-in. straight-side rim and the 31x
Ain. oversize straight-sde tire, which
have not been considered standard sizes
in the past, will be used in the future
Automobile engineers have by this ac-
ton limited themselves TO the use of
five rim sizes and nine tire sizes for
passenger cars and the same number for
motor trucks.
The action has been taken by the S.
A. E. tire and rim committee, members
of which represent the Rubber Associa-
ton of America, the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce and the So
ciety of Automotive Engineers.
The recommendation is still to be ap-
proved by the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce and the Society
of Automotive Engineers. but as it has
met with the approval Of the Rubber
Association of America and of the auto
mobile engineers interested, it's final ap-
proval is assured.

the ninety-nine cars which passed

lowest speed recorded was nineteen

The driver of a motor cycle when

the side car.
In accordance with the general pol

cards have been mailed through the
state highway commissioners office

vehicles who live in Pennsylvania.
After giving the place. date and hour

81 cars that have thus left the roadway for the ditch
must number SCORES. Doubtless there has been
some careless driving. But it is inconceiyable that
the drivers Of all the cars that have gone overheard
on that road are reckless persons. The trouble is
with the form Of the road itself.
This road is Of excellent width. With a paved
surface II would make an admirable drive. But it
will be necessary to nse it for some time unpaved,
and for an earth read it is not properly built. In
stead Of being crowned in the center, 50 as to afford
drainage, it is left perfectly fat. In many places it
is worse than hzt-it IS hollow in the center. Even
if unused for : day or two after 4 rain it could not
dry properly, and it is not left unused. Travellers
passing over it are caught out in the rain, and others
must continue to usei it. The surface becomes deep
~ rutted, where drivers IL to keep to the center
and fail, skidding from one side to the other. Then
the ruts bake hard in the sun, and there you are. 1t
seems, to be impossible for the drag to obliterate
those ruts, and in their weaving from side to side
they yank later cars hither and yon, frequently over
the edge. III the effort to avoid these ruts drivers
form new tracks within a few inches Of either edge,
where a few inches variation in driving will, bring
disaster.
We take it that the purpose Of public highway
is to provide a safe and convenient facility for travel
for the people who have occasion to use it, and not
to present a demonstration Of certain theories Of
construction. In that respect the high grade, with
fiat top and steep sides is a failure, so far as the Red
river valley is concerned.
