CORD TIRES HAVE
MORE ROLLING FRICTION
THAN FABRIC TIRES

Cord tires have only two-thirds
as much rolling friction as fabric
tires, according to a recent test In
Yale university. Long mileage and
tire expense, however important,
are actually of secondary consider
alton in proving the case for cord
tires. To the usual arguments of
long wear and low mileage costs
for the cord tire 1t is now possible
says the Miller Rubber company,
Akron, Ohio, to add the additional
assertion that permanent deteriora-
ton of the car, due to rolling fric-
ton, is pushed further into the fu-
ture. Tire economy demands the
use Of cord tires.

A NOVEL HIGHWAY
TESTING OF MATERIAL
IN STATE OF ILLINOIS

The Illinois department of high
ways and highway engineers OF the
bureau Of public roads have con-
structed a novel test road at Bates,
ILL.,, two miles long and in So sec
lions.
The different sections show va
rious kinds of constructions. bases
and thicknesses. A continual
watch is kept for changes and eff
fects of temperatures, loads and
sub-grade conditions. According to
a truck tire official of the Fire
stone company, expert work of this
kind will do more for progress in
transportation than anything Of the
kind advanced for years.
