IMPORTANT FACTS
ABOUT USING OVERSIZE
PNEUMATIC TIRES

A motorist can easily settle for
himself the question whether he
should equip his car with oversize
pneumatic tires. only two consid-
erations are involved and the prob
lem is by no means a difficult one.
One of the elements for considera-
ton is the weight the tires are
called on to carry and the other re-
lates to the degree OF initiation at
which the motorist prefers to use
his tires.
Car manufacturers usually apply
as original equipment tires OF size
sufficiently large to meet the car
weights when equipped with stand
ard accessories and carrying full
complement of passengers. To sup
port this load, however, it Is neces-
sary to maintain the full initiation
pressure as recommended for the
size of tire used.
With respect to the weight Of the
load, it is surprising how rapidly
extra car equipment such as spare
tires, bumpers and other accessor-
les run up the load the tire is called
on to carry.
With this added weight and the
addition OF an extra passenger or
two occasionally, the tires are soon
carrying load that is much in eX-
cess of the load the car manufac-
turer originally figured on when he
determined the original tire size TO
be used.
J On the subject of initiation 1t has
been found that car owners in their
desire for greater riding comfort
are prone to reduce the air pressure
in their tires, running them much
below the pressure recommended
by the tire manufacturers, prac"
tice which leads to early tire fail
IRE.
If car is subject to frequent
overlooking, oversize tires should
be used. Moreover to do away with
The operation of underinflated tires
and to enable the car user to gain
the maximum comfort possible con-
sistcnt with good tire mileage, it Is
necessary to use oversize tires that
are capable of carrying the car load
at lower proportionate pressure.
It is clear that If it were not pos
sibIe for the car owners to obtain
larger size tire to fit the size OF
rim with which his car is equipped,
his problem of tire mileage would
be serious one. The tire manufac-
turer has recognized this problem
and has produced an oversize tire
fer each size of rim, thus enabling
him to equip his car with oversize
tires for the extra loads!
Gases exist where the singie-over-
sizing of tires is not sufficient TO
meet the owners needs. In that
case 1t Ii necessary that he either
reduce his loads or change his
wheels and rims to make possible

AUTOMOBILE "SL0W"
AND "ST0P" SIGNALS
CAUSE OF COLLISIONS

Increasing use of automatic
SLOW" and "stop" signals is tend
ing more and more to cause the
automobile driver to neglect the
use Of the hand signal and Is there
by increasing the chances for col
lisions on the highways, according
to A. A. A. officials.
1t is pointed out that motor Nehi-
Gle operators depending on these
automatic signals forget that such
devices generally do not signal an
intention to turn either to right or
left and consequently often result IN
slight collisions, at least, with re-
sultant damage to Tenders and BODY
of the car.
Another danger. it is pointed out,
is brought about by the failure or
the automatic signal to function at
times thereby leaving the driver in

TREKKING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY POPULAR

A trip across the continent seems
to be the goal of every motor fan.
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. G. Rose of Bing-
hamton, New York, recently COM
pleted the trek across the country
in their car, covering distance Of
.5.926 miles, which included some
side trips of interest.
Their route lay from Binghamton
to New York city and thence to
Atlantic City where they spent q
few days before proceeding, via the
Lincoln highway to Toledo, then
via Denver and yellow Stone park,
remaining at the latter point sew
eral days. From there the route
lay via Spokane and Seattle, then
down the Pacific to Portland and
on to Frisco.
1T was wonderful trip all tie
way" writes Mr.. Rose and we had
no trouble with the car at, any time
on the trip. We Travelled total Of
5,926 miles since we left home in
Binghamton, including several side
trips of interest.
I'VE averaged better than TWEEN

MANY AUTOMOBILE FACTORIES RECOGNIZING
THE NAME OF "PHAET0N' AND SUBSTITUTING
1T FOR THE OLD NAME TOURING CAR

out further information. If it is
expected that the public will UNI
derstand such special body names,
certainly the general acceptance
of ''phaeton" in place of touring
car" should be expected.
The reason for the use of the
name "phaeton' by automobile
makers is not only that all types of
body are used for touring but that
this type OF body is the logical sue
cessor Of the family horse-drawn
open carriage always known as the
phaeton. This type of body was so
called in the early years of the
automobile industry. At the pres
ent time it is in general use in
France. Hudson and Packard have
been consistent users of the name
in this country since the early days
of the industry. The name ''phae-
ton" therefore has a logical right
from a priority point of view, based
solely on automobile customs, to
contend with the name touring
car" Furthermore, as a name IL
has q wonderful background of his
tory. for it is associated with the
type of carriage people have owned
and used. 1t is also applicable to
the more expensive carriages that
were exhibited at the horse shows.
At the last annual meeting of the
Society of Automotive Engineers
these conditions were recognized
and the term 'phaeton" officially
approved as the name for an open
type body with two fixed cross
seats for four or five passengers, or
with additional folding seats, there
by creating seating accommoda-
tons for seven passengers. This
society represents the engineering
side of the industry, not the conf
mercial side, which may therefore
be considered responsible for the
continued use in advertising of the
name touring car"

During the last ten years auto
mobile makers have used many
names for more or less standard
types body which have had only a
temporary and sporadic popularity,
but the name "phaeton," which IS
now being used by many companies
for the 4, and 7-passenger open
type cars, has been adopted to such
an extent by the car-owning pubic
and manufacturers that it can be
recognized as a permanent addltlon
to our automobile nomenclature
The change from the word touring
car, TO the word "phaeton" is
probably due to the increase in the
use of sedans, coupes and other
closed cars for touring. Thus the
name touring car" has lost It's
original meaning.
The name "phaeton" is now used
for the 4-passenger open-type body
by Brewster, Cadillac, Essex, Hud-
son. Lincoln, National, Marmon,
Packard, Peerless, Premier and
REQ: for the 5-passenger OPEN
type car by Brewster, Cadillac, Es-
sex, Hudson, Premier and REQ, and
for the 7-passenger open-type car
by Brewster, Davis, Essex, Hudson,
Marmon, Peerless and Premier. In
quiries show that many other COM
panies are studying the advisability
Of changing from the name tour
ing-car" to "phaeton" and will
probably make the change in their
1928 catalogs and in subsequent
advertising.
1t has been stated that the word
"phaeton" with not be used as the
public does not understand its
meaning. Yet there are brought
out each year new body names for
well-known body types that make
it impossible for the prospective
buyer to determine what body type
is referred to without further in
formation. If it is referred to with

LOOSE LEAF FORM FOR COMMERCE REPORTS
SUGGESTED; AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY LEADERS
CONFER WITH DEPARTMENT 0FFlCIALS

"Ry their use, a report on a spe-
cific subject received today at the
department Of commerce from an
American trade official abroad,
could be condensed at once, edited,
multigraphed and mailed to sub
scrihers before the day is over. The
report, because of its timeliness,
becomes of greater value to bust
ness, than If it were retained and
published at end of the week.
Classification by Countries
Accessibility to information for
future use, would be also readily
afforded under the manual method.
On each loose leaf appears intor-
nation pertaining to but one coun-
try and one main phase of an in
dustry. When the country differs,
or even the subject of the report
begins to change, additional sheets
are prepared to afford segregation
OF material according to different
countries and character of informa-
ton. The sheets, before being sent
out would be indeXed by country
and\subject, and thus given a fixed
place in the manual where it may
always be consulted as occasion de-
mands.
Conservation of time and work
on part of subscriber is another
benefit that would accrue from
manuals. Ready reference to ar
ticles, now appear in Commerce

OF considerable work. To accom-
plish it, clipping, pasting, marking
and indexing must be resorted to
by the subscriber. Under the man
ual arrangement, these tasks would
be eliminated. Inserting of sheets

designated in advance would be the
only work required, General salts

the embarrassing of his tires.
1t is not considered good practice
to double-oversize tires without
changing the rim eq lipment.
Most car users will find that the
single OVERSEEING Of tires will show
an improvement in their tire mile
age, an improvement that warrants
the extra cost of the oversize tires.
AS to the use of oversize tires for
Fords and cars of the class, it is
exceedingly important that over
size tires be used, for these cars OPP
crate very close TO the maximum
capacity of the sizes furnished as
original equipment. A change from
fabric to cord tires will usually
meet the need Of OVERSEEING in this
class.

HUGGINS TO FIGHT
FOR MAYS AND WARD
Yankee Manager Says Neither
Will Be Traded if He Can

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark, Feb. 27.-"Neither
Mays nor Ward will be traded by the
Yankees If can prevent It," said Mana
ger Miller Higgins on his arrival here
to-day. "It has taken too long to build
up a pitching staff and has cost too
much in trouble and money for me to
consider tearing II apart without pro-
test and for one do not believe the
Colonels have any intention to ask me
to let Mays co.
Huggins was not expected to come to
Hot Springs, but was asked to meet
Col L. T. Huston here to-day, pre-
sumably to discuss ways and means
of getting Mays and Babe Ruth under
contract. "I expected to go direct from
Cincinnati to New Orleans" the Yankee
leader said this afternoon. but Ed.
Barrow telephoned me that Col. Huston
was coming here tonight and asked
me to see him.
II can't imagine what he wants TO
see me about unless It is to talk to
Mays and the big fellow. I have been
rather out of touch with the business
affairs of the club this year and don't
know the nature of the differences be-
tween these players and the club owners,
but / do not believe they are so serious
that they cannot be adjusted with little
trouble. Neither do know the details Of
Aaron Wards grievances.
THAT much discussed deal for Bobbie
veach is definitely off," the Yankee
leader added, land so is the Strunk
proposition. I still have a hunch, how
ever, that we will be able to land an
other experienced outfielder before the
season opens. A couple Of clubs have
sounded me out on deals for picket men.
but haven't offered a thing that we can
use. Later on. however, some one will
be needing infielders and maybe we can
then arrange a dicker for an outfielder."
Higgins expects to resume his In
terupted journey to New Orleans to-
morrow, arriving at the Crescent City
Wednesday morning, In time to welcome
the squad from New York. The play
ers now In Hot Springs will be per-
mtted to remain here until the latter
part OF next week If they care to.
With the manager came j. Franklin
Baker. accompanied by his wife and
youngest daughter, and Pitcher Joe
Bush. Both appear to be In good con-
dition to start the training process and
Baker cheered his manager no little by
declaring that the leg he injured at
