Bottom In Tire Price
Reached, Experts
Believe

Tires and the cost of them is
a pretty important question for
about one family in every three
in the United States. So, ma
tional importance is lent to the
fact that recently the standard
makers Of tires reduced prices
TO "A new low level; lower, in
deed, than has ever been reach
ed in the history of the indus
try. Naturally this reduction
was closely followed by the
smaller companies.
Analysis of business conditions
is today one Of the most impor-
tant functions of big manufac-
turers. One of the oldest rub
ber companies in America main
tains an extensive corps of in
vestigating operatives. the re-
suit of whose researches makes
clear, not only the causes that
have brought cord tires to the
lowest level Of prices ever at
tanned, but also how plain it is
that the present marks the turn
ing point, so that the year 1922
will long be- known as the year
of tire buying opportunities.

of officers Of the law in dealing with
the transient motorist-almost TEMPT

are as Ineffective as they are unfair.
That this condition actually exists
in all too many communities is well
known by motorists. Many phases
OF unfair treatment Of the motorists
have been discussed by this paper IN
cooperating with Topics Of the
Day films in it's noteworthy Fair
Play on the Highway" campaign.
But. the issue discussed today is per.
haps the most insistently in need Of
remedying. When officers of the

matter be brought to public notice by

sage:
1T is wrong for local constables
not in uniform TO drive about the
highways provoking transient motor
lists into infractions of minor local
ordinances so they can collect fines.
II is wrong to set speed traps or
otherwise tempt the unwary into
violations.
The foremost duty Of officers
should be the prevention Of and not
the punishment for infractions. Com
munities sponsoring or tolerating
such methods do so to their own
detriment."
That such provincial methods of
handling motor traffic exists is al.
most unbelievable. But, some con.
stables are waxing fat on fines from
their trapping Of transient motorists.
The attitude of these rural constables
toward the visiting motorist is illds-
trated by an ancedote Aesop. jr.. tells
of an over jealous. or shall we say,
a pecunious and prejudiced would.be
officer OF the law.

an air Of superiority. You must be
