OVER SIZED TIRE
PROBLEM ONE Of
MANY Factors

A motorist can easily settle for
himself the question whether he
should equip his car with oversize
pneumatic tires. Only two considera-
tions are involved and the problem is
by no means difficult one. one of
the elements for consideration is the
weight the tires are called on to carry
and the other relates to the degree of
initiation at which the motorist prefers
o.use his tires.
Car manufacturers usually apply as
original equipment tires of a size suf-
ficiently large to meet the car weights
when equipped with standard acces-
sories and carrying a full compile
ment of passengers. To support. this
load, however, it is necessary to main
tain the full initiation pressure as
recommended for the size of tire used.
With respect to the weight of the
load 1t is surprising how rapidly extra
car equipment such as spare tires,
bumpers and other accessories run
up the load the tire is called on to
carry.

occasionally the tires are soon carry
ing load that is much in excess of
the load the car mapufacturer origin
ally figured on when he determined
the original tire size to be used.
On the subject of initiation it 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, a practice which leads
to early tire failure.
If car is subject to frequent over
loading, oversize tires should be used,
according to the technical service de-
partment of the United States Tire
company. Moreover. to do away with
the operation of underinflated tires
and to enable the car user to gain the
maximum comfort possible consistent
with good tire mileage. it is necessary
to use oversize tires that are capable
of carrying the car load at a lower
pressure.

while the average reductions would
amount to about twenty per cent.
The reductions will be from Sacra-
mento, San Francisco and Los Ange-
les and other main line points in Ne

Mrs. Harding, wife OF the Presi-
dent, was taken seriously Ill at Wash
ington last Saturday with kidney
trouble and her condition later be-
came critical.
A Washington dispatch of Septem-
ber IL gives the following regarding
the case and Mrs. Harding's condi-
ton:
The operation which attending
physicians planned earlier in the day
was deferred when dangerous symp-
toms showed abatement. 1t was de-
cided to employ surgery only as a
last resort. The days of suffering
have SO sapped the patients vitality
that 1t was feared she could not sur
vive going under the knife.
A permanent cure of Mrs. Hard
ing's affection can only be brought
about by an operation, and this will
not be attempted in her present con-
dition. 1t was stated.
The exact cause of Mrs. Hardfng's
intermittent attacks. eliminating In
the latest and most serious affection.
was learned for the first time to-day.
Following an operation in 1919, in
which an incision was made directly
into the kidney. Mrs. Harding re-
covered rapidly and for consider
able period was in splendid health.
Serious complications developed.
however. when the healed organ
broke from its natural fastenings,
causing the condition known as
floating kidney"
Periodically, 1t was stated, the un-
anchored kidney presses against the
outlet canal, practically shutting off
the natural outlet. This results in
severe attacks such as the present,
and can only be permanently relieved
by an operation. This probably will
be attempted as soon as Mrs. Hard
ings general health has improved to
point where a major operation can
be attempted.
The extreme tension in the presi-
dents household for the last forty
eight hours relaxed noticeably to-day.
DR.. Charles Mayo, celebrated Roches-
ter. Minn.. surgeon. and DR.. John
Finney Of Baltimore found time to
snatch few hours rest. DIR. Sawyer,
personal physician, was able to leave
the bedside for few hours.
All are holding themselves in read
mess for emergencies and keep with
in call. The presidents feet of au-
tomobiles is kept at the White House,
ready to dash anywhere about the
city for assistance.
The physicians hope and believe
that the change for the better in Mrs.
Harding's condition is permanent
one. But the affection is such that
they cannot be sure. it was stated.
She is passing through the crisis. She
may suffer dangerous relapse or
slowly begin to mend and recover.
