Designing OF Tire Tread Rsgnkex
Skill Of Experts.

The ability OF an automobile
tire to hold to the road without
spin or skid is principally a mat
ter of tread design and some OF
the experiments conducted by
experts in a search for the most
efficient tread may prove inter-
esting to the car owner who is.
the beneficiary.
The engineers of The Good,
year Tire & Rubber Company
put every new tread that IS
brought out on the market to a.
critical comparison with the IA
nous All-Weather Tread and in
all of those tests the value of the,
tread with the diamond-shape6 Z,
block has been emphasized.
strongly.
The layman can readily under
stand that forward motion musF
be assisted by the tire tread and
that this same tread must offer
a resistance to side thrust, to,
tendency to move off the road at
an angle. Years ago, Goodyear
met these requirements with the,
All-Weather Tread in which the
diamond blocks lay down a grip
ping, safe track for the wheel,
sending the car full distance
ahead with every turn Of the
wheel and effectively overcoming
any tendency toward skiddin9.
This tread design has been ik--
ened to the paw or hoof Of n
surefooted animal, which spreads
upon contact with the ground
and really grips securely.
Despite hundreds of expert
ments, the Goodyear experts
have never been able to find 4
tread that compared with tbe
Al-Weather. The marked So
periority of the design has with
in the last year led to its use up
on Goodyear solid and cush68z.
truck tires.
Every block edge works In
this tread" says Buchanan
Lyon Company, Goodyear dealer
at Columbia. "And because the
tread makes a uniform, unbrO--
ken contact with the road, wear
is considerably less than in treads
having a rough, unequal surface.
AT the Goodyear plant, Va
rious treads are tested in uni
que manner. A tire is made up
with four or six various tres5s,-
each covering the same amount.
of the circumference. These.
treads are of exactly the same.
stock. Then the tire is placed
upon a car and run for several,
thousand miles. At the end OF
that time it is taken off and exs,
amined.
''That test tells the story.
"The effect of the different
treads. upon the carcass of the
tire, or the plies also is noted
Treads having too prominent
buttons inflict a severe strain.
upon the body of the tire. In
some cases, they separate the.
plies.
There are many other things
to be considered in designing IA
tread. The worth of the Coed
year design is best indicated By
the fact that it is the most pop
ular tread in the world

coLoRS TREES IN 4s HOURS
for Changing Hue of Landscape
in Few Hours.

Dresden, Germany.-A German en-
gineer named Reimann has succeeded
in perfecting a process for cOloFing iv-

whole tree from the end of its roots to
the topmost leaf can be completely and
permanently cOlored within 4S hours.
Analine dye is used and 90 grams Of
it, together with 200 liters of water,
are sufficient for one tree. Final tests
were made in the forest of Tharandt
in the presence of a representative Of

ONLY SURVIVOR OF CRASH
IN AIR DIES IN HOSPITAL
Pilot of British Plane Expires
Without Regaining Consciousness.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. April S.--R. e. Duke, pilot Of

aerial express route yesterday near

VIis today without recovering conscious
ness He was the only person in either
machine to survive the crash. and his
death brought the total of those killed
to seven.
Low visibility, caused by l6w-hanging
clouds and mist. is given as the primary
cause of the catastrophe. Both pilots
were flying low at the time. keeping
the railroad tracks in sight so as not to
lose their way. and this brought them
together head-on.
The French company operating the
Goliath. which was carrying three pas
sengers. has issued statement declar-
ing that their pilots have perfect knowl-
edge of the route. which they have been
covering for year. The British ma
chine, owned by a new company, had
only been in the London-Paris service

vocates the publication by the gov
eminent Of, daily or weekly news

ments and congressional proceedings
This is leaf out OF the book of

the inclusion in the democratic plat

eminent publication.
Mr.. Daugherty has been severely
criticised by the press of the coun-
try for his alleged lack of energy
in proceeding against war grafters.
Mr.. Bryan believes that the people
do not get fair deal because of
the strength of corporate interests
Senator j. Thomas Heflin of Ala
bama has declared on the floor of
the Senate the possibility of new
press association to eclipse all those
which presently exist, one which
will give the news whether Wall
street favors such news or not, and
deal fairly with those senator's who
most frequently air their views on
the floor of the Senate. He had
criticised the press as it exists to-
cay, and the correspondents IN the
press gallery who leave their seats
when he begins to discuss the fed
eral reserve system.
With Daugherty annexed to the
Bryan and$Heflin scheme for better
press service, it is held possible here
that something will be achieved.
