"The remarkable increase in tire
service during the last five years"
writes DR.. Geer, lis due to the
scientific adjustment OF the threads
that make up the fabric and cord, as
we'll as to the greater resistance of
the rubber layers to flexion and
heat"
This rubber layer, called friction
and coat holds the plies Of fabric
together and at the same time keeps
them apart so that they cannot rub
against each other. 1t is another Of
the essential elements in tire con.
struction.
"The fabric moves over very small
distances, yet sufficiently to develop
heat. This rubber must serve as
a permanent lubricant; not tempo.
rarily, like the oil that is put In be.
tween the leaves Of springs or into
the transmission or the differential
housing, for that can be changed
every few hundred miles, but perma
nently, because the rubber In tho
LAYERS between the cords is put in
at the time of manufacture and stays
there until the tire Is gone.
There is no other substance yet
found that will remain so permanent
as yulcaniZed rubber under the heat
and bending. But the cotton IS
equally important with rubber; 1t is
the backbone of the tire"

UYIILE certain rules may be
" followed in dealing with an
w engine that misfires, IL not
always is possible to get the best re-
suits without going through q pro-
cess Of elimination after one of the
important engine systems has been
decided upon as being the cause.
There are three engine systems
which control and affect firing. They
are: Carburetion, ignition and valves.
The first thing one must attempt TO
do is to determine which one of
the three is causing the trouble and
then deal only with that system.
Many drivers thoroughly familiar
with their cars can tell where the
trouble is without even getting out
o. the seat and lifting the hood. 9th
ers, without thinking and lacking a
thorough knowledge of the engine,
lift the hood and start in to adjust.
In four and ix-cylinder engines
the cause of misfiring is sometimes
easier to determine than in an eight
or twelve, for the reason that the
greater number of explosions con-
fuses the ear. Some owners have
become expert even with multi-cyin-
der engines, so as to be able to say
whether IL is only one cylinder, two

all speeds. go right to the ignition
unit. test as mentioned previously
(also check the timins) and trace
back to the battery. Corroded or
loose battery connection or a weak
battery will cause this trouble.
Check over the wiring insulation
carefully.
With magnetic ignition mis-.
firing only at low speeds may be
caused by weak magnets. After
tracing through ignition for this
trouble examine the carburetor and
fuel feed.
The carburetor adjustment should
be practically the last thing to re-
ceive attention. Misfirins on ac'
celebrating usually Is caused by a
lean mixture, while Tnisfiring nt
low or high speeds may be caused
by either too lean or too rich q
mixture. In checking through the
carburetion system start with the
float bowl. First see that the float
bowl shows the proper level Of fuel
when the engine is idling. Then
note whether the float chamber
fills when the engine runs fast

cable ends are clean and tight and
that the insulation is not oil soaked
or worn through at any part. II
the cable is o. X. clean or dress
the breaker contact in the ignition

That Is as far as one ought to
go in tracing ignition trouble in one
particular cylinder. II the ignition
is o. X. in any one cylinder and
that cylinder misfires. then the valves
ought to be suspected. See that
they do not stick at all engine
speeds. that the tapped clearance
is right and that there Is not
great deal OF oil running down the
valve stem guide. The latter causes
an air leak and dilutes the mixture
to that cylinder. Any air leak 10

sult. Valves that do not seat prop
erly may cause misflring, but usul-
ly the cylinder is not cut out all
the time, but only at certain speeds
and loads.

very badly worn piston, may
cause one cylinder to constantly mis-.
fire. One OF the troubles common
to many engines. especially the
cheaper ones, is that one cylinder
will misfire all the time and after
testing the ignition and valves as
mentioned everything is found o. r..

STRIKE VOTES FROM
 RAILWAY SHOP WORKERS

Chicago, June F (By the A.

 All the ballots are due here June 25. Nearly a million and a half were put into the mails Saturday night.
 The three strike questions are:
 l. The S6o,ooo, 900 wage cut order ed by. the railroad labor board for July
 9. Alleged illegal contracting of shor work and illegal reduction of wages
 .. Seven rules, mostly covering over time pay, laid down by the board and which are not satisfactory to the men
 A force of clerks was put to worl at the shop unions headquarters today preparing to tabulate the vote. Eacf vote on the three questions will be reg istered by craft and by the road
 All shopmen, actively in the service or furloughed or laid off, who are enti tied to return to work under the senior ity rules are eligible to vote the three ballots. Squares are also provided or the ballots to show whether the votel | 1s active or on furlough.

It was the opinion of high official circles all along that in the loan question the separations commission was putting the cart be- fore the horse-that the solvency of Germany by a completely balanced budget and restricted paper circula- ton should have been accomplished first thus forming the security which the investors demand.
 France up 10 the present has spent about 90 900 ,00Q. 900 paper francs in reconstruction efforts, one official ex- plained today and the government was not at all ready to consider a reduc- jon of it's claim against Germany.

This is met by tho -xpianstion that Germany's capacity TO pay eventually cannot be deter mined now.

Three City Blocks Burned in Passaic
200 Persons Made Homeless and Half Million Loss From a Carelessly Dropped Match.

Passaic, N. J., June 1.-Two hundred persons were made homeless and prop erty on three city blocks, valued at half million dollars, was destroyed to1 night by fire which started from carelessly dropped match.
 George Gantz, part owner of Wall street saloon, found a discarded mattress ablaze in the rear of his place. A pass ing smoker is believed to have thrown a match upon it. When Gantz returned from sending in an alarm, the saloon was on fire and high wind carrying the flames to adjacent build.tgs. A church was razed and eighteen two story frame buildings were partly de- stroyed. Volunteer firemen and fire companies from nearby towns were called to igt the blaze. Two fremen were in jured.
 Six hundred children were in the Holy Rosary school for Polish children, when the flames swept around 1t. They left the building in fire drill formation under the guidance of the Sisters.
 The homeless families are being cared for at the headquarters of the local chapter of the Red Cross.

FACES PENITENTIARY FOR
 POSSESSING REVOLVER

New York, June 12.-Murray Watkins, a 54 year old negro of Matawan, NJ, who used to belong to the Tenth cavalry and who boasts Sthat he was President Roosevelt's personal valet when the col onel went hunting in Africa, must go to the penitentiary for six months to three years for havin ga revolver n his posses sion. Maybe he will have to remain even longer, if the police know what they're talking about.
 Probation Officer Horan said the blue coats of Washington and Atlantic City would like to get hold of the negro for stealing. and Federal Commissioner Hitchcock has put out a warrant saying he impersonated an army officer
 Watkins pleaded guilty to possessing a revolver the other day and he ambled into general sessions court to be sen- fenced this afternoon. He weighs 2S5 pounds and stands six feet two. Horan isn't near so big, but he spoke right up about Watkins.
 He said Watkins came to town from Norwalk, Conn.,, and went around telling negroes he was an army major who had s some military supplies stored some place cheaps When he tried to get Mrs. Ethel Dearborn. to pay him little in advance she called in the police. Horan said
 The police searched Watkins, found a check for his trunk, went down to the Grand Centcal station and opened it. Cud- died among shoes and shirts was a pistol There also was a letter in the trunk | dated in March. 1921. and signed by tslt secretary to Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., in. dicating that Watkins really had beer r the 'Coionel's" valet, the officer said.
