GIVE AUTO Tire
Good ATTENTION
Very Few Owners Give a Thought
to Its Care, With Exception
of Initiating II.
COTTON FABRIC FOUNDATION
Elimination Of Internal Friction Would
Greatly Increase Life o. Cover
Big Difference Between Cords
and Fabrics.

To the average owner, an automo-
bile tire Is good only when It travels
many thousands of miles without
breaking down or blowing out. Very
few give a thought to Its care, with
the exception Of initiating 1t from time
to time, and a still smaller number
know what It Is made Of.
II A big tire concern has prepared a
treatise on the foundation Of one
which should be remembered by every
motorist. It is as follows:
Cotton fabric is the foundation up
on which al automobile tire is built.
1t is used to give stability and
strength. There are two well-known
classes of tires-the square-woven
fabric and the cord tire.
Cords and Fabrics Differ.
"In the square-woten fabric tire the
threads in each ply run in both direc-
lions, alternating over and under as In
a piece Of ordinary cloth. In the cord
tire, the threads or cords In each ply
run parallel, with the exception Of a
few small cross threads, used simply
to hold the cords together while they
r being impregnated with the rubber
compound. 's
'The life Of a tire would be greatly
increased II internal friction could be
eliminated. The internal friction.
caused by intermittent distortion Of
the tire in use IL the result Of the frtc-
ton Of the threads upon each other
and the strains and stresses set up In
the rubber Compounds Naturally the
fabric which gives the least room for
internal friction will give the longest
life to the tire.
"Since square-woven fabric cannot
be thoroughly i~mpregnated with rubber
at the points where the threads cross.
flexing at these points will cause a
saving action and the generating of
internal heat. II has been demonstrate
ed very clearly by experiment that
when the temperature resulting, from
internal heat reaches 230 degrees, vul-
canized rubber ceases to function as
an adhesive compound, crumbles into
minute particles which fail to resume
their original condition, causing the
compound to lose its. function in the
tire.
Heat Spells Rubber.
This causes separation, weakness,
and finally a blowout. 1t may be inter-
esting to know that 265 degrees is not
an uncommon temperature reached in
a tire when driven at a high speed wei
the road; this Is particularly true Of
large truck tires.
SIN the case Of cord tires, each
thread Is imbedded In the rubber COM
pound and the internal friction Is re-
duced to a minimum. A brief sum-
mary Of the advantages derived from
the use of cord tires would include
easier riding, due to greater resili-
ency; saving Of gasoline and oil say.
ing of machinery. and more miles per
dollar"

The army worm made it's appear
ance in the cotton fields during the
last 10 days, cleaning the stalks of

not taken all the fields, but will
likely fean them all before they stop

Former Catchers Lead In
Holding Down Managerial
Jobs in Major Leagues

NEW YORK, Jan. n.-Youngsters who
want to stay in the game after their
baseball legs give out should go 10
Coaching. 1t seems from figures that the
wise old backstops have the best chance
Of remaining in the game at big money
after their field days are over.
One half Of the major league managers
are old catchers and practically every one
OF them have teams up in the races In
both leagues.
The National League leads with SIX
managers who have served behind the
bat Pat Moran, manager Of the Reds,
has two pennants and a worlds cnam-
pionshlp to his credit. Branch Hickey
had the runner-up last year and the pros
pective dark horse OF 1922. George Glib
son failed TO win a pennant last season,
but was prevented only when hig Geam
collapsed in the stretch with the flag al
most cinched. Fred Mitchell made sue
cess OF the Braves and put the National
League on the map in Boston. Bill XII
lefer, star catcher Of the Cubs. Is the
only playing manager among the re-
ceivers He started in mid season last
year after Johnny Evers resigned and he
did as well with the club as could bs
expected Uncle Wilbert Robinson is an
other good example OF the success
achieved by former catchers. Brooklyn
swears by him and he is one Of tine most
popular and most able managers In the
game.
Only two managers in the American
League can trace their career back to
the mask and big glove days. Connie
Mack, veteran manager Of the Athletics,
is the dean of them all. The lean leader
Of the Philadelphia Americans used to be
the king Of them all, but he has been in
the dumps for six years. Lee FOhl, who
has built up pennant contender for the
St Louis Browns, is the only other for
mer catcher handling a club In Ban
Johnson's circuit.
