naming OF the joint committee of the

after hidden facts and multlfarious de-

big for his comprehension or too small

year OF actual manufacturing here on
the coast, we find that we are not
very far behind our sales for one year
ago.
Sales for last year amounted to
approximately a little over $15.000.-
0O0-an average of over S1,00000O
per month. .
: This year, so far. our sales have
averaged very close to s1,000.000 a
month.
As the automobile industry as
sumes a better tone we are doing
everything possible to foster a new
and better kind of tire dealer for the
future, =
Tire School Established
= This, as we realized some time
ago, can only be done through pro-
cess of education-so in addition to
our numerous other ways of reaching
our dealers and giving them assist
ance on better and safer methods of
conducting the tire business, we have
made more personal appeal by in
wiling them to visit our. factory and
learn of the latest methods of tire
production. During the period from
June IA. 1920, 10 June IA, 1921, over
500 dealers have taken advantage of
this opportunity to see Goodyear
Tires actually in the making, besides
the large number of other people who
have made the factory trips. which
are always available to the public
daily at 1000 a. m. and 200 p. m.
Then, too, we have established
school of tire repairing, embracing a
three weeks course of instruction
which is, absolutely free to all yul-
canizers and prospective vulcanizers
who desire to learn the latest and
most improved methods of tire re-
pair. To date we have graduated
over leo students from this school.
"Altogether, we are well satisfied
with this, the first year of actual pro-
duction and look forward toward 4
cons derably increased business as
the sutomotiye industry regains its
stride"

D|MME rs AND HEADLIGHTS

luton of the problem. While differ
. ing radically, practically all of them
may be classed under two heads, i. e.,
electrical and mechanical Electrical
Devices: One OF the simplest of this
class that has met with considerable
favor is nothing more nor less ,xan
resistance that may be inserted in
the circuit of the headlights by turn
ing a small Nswitch, mounted either
on the steering wheel or in some cas-
lily accessible location.
This cuts the voltage down and
causes the lamps to burn dull red,
instead OF the filaments being the
dazzling white reached at full mean
descence. An equally simple and
practicable device is switch to throw
the headlights into series for dim
light and back into parallel again
when full illumination is desired.
With the series connection, the cur
rent must pass through both lamps
successfully and each bulb thus re-
ceives but half the voltage and, as
even a comparatively slight drop In
voltage causes the efficiency of an In
candescent lamp to fall off very mark
edly, the same result is attained.
With the normal, or parallel, copnec-
ton, the current flows through each
lamp separately, and both receive the
full voltage of the battery so that they
burn at full bTilliance.
The use of two bulbs in each head
light is also commonly resorted to.
the method of effecting this, being
through bulbs of different size. The
small bulb is of the size ordinarily
employed for side lights and is, more.
over. entirely out of focus of the re-
Hector, so that the diminished light
produced is entirely without glare
and it mostly diverted downward. A
similar end is attained by the use OF
two filaments in the same bulb.
The lower filament in this case is
employed for full Illumination, and
the upper, which is out of focus, for
the dimmed light. This has the dis
advantage that the burnings out of
either one of the filaments makes
it necessary to replace the lamp.
while both filaments also require the
same amount of current.
