TREAD DESIGN
AIDS AUTO TIRE
Goodyear Tests Tend To Make
Perfect Tire, Says Ameri-
Gus Man

The ability of an automobile tire
to hold to the road without spin or
skid is principally matter of tread
design. The Goodyear lire Il Rub
Der company put every new tread to
critical comparison with their IA
nous alI-weather tread. Forward
motion must be assisted by the tire
tread and this same tread must offer
a resistance. to side thrust. Years
ago, Goodyear met these require
mcnts with the all-weather tread in
which the diamond blocks lay down a
gripping, safe track for the wheel,
sending the car full distance ahead
with every turn of the wheel and
effectively overcoming any tendency
toward skidding.
Despite hundreds Of experiments,
the Goodyear experts have never
been able to find a tread that COM
pared with the all-weather. The mark
ed superiority of the design has with
in the last year led to its use upon
Goodyear solid and cushion truck
tires.
Every block edge works in this
tread" says the Americas Steam
Vulcanizing company, Goodyear
dealer at Americas. "And because
the tread makes a uniform, unbrok-
en- contact with the road, wear is
considerably less than in treads hav-
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1922-08-08

ing a rought, unequal surface.
at the Goodyear plant, various
treads are tested in a unique man
ner. A tire is made up with four
or six various treads, each covering
the same amount Of circumference.
These treads are of exactly the same
stock. Then the tire is placed upon
a car and run for several thousand
miles.
"That tells the story. The effect
Of the different treads upon the car
cass of the tire, or the piles, also
is noted. Treads having too promi-
ncnt 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 con
sidered in designing a tread. The
worth of the Goodyear design IS
best indicated by the fact that it
is the most popular tread in the
world"

IS HELD FOR ASSAULT

Texarkana, Feh 6.-Following a preliminary hearing before Justice H1llman late yesterday afternoon, Sam MoCarty of Red Water, 16 miles southwest of here, was held to the Bowie County (Tex.) Grand Jury on a charge of assault with intent to murder. His bond was fixed at $500.
 The charge grew out of the dyna- hitting of the tent of Tom Smith, a traVelnlg snowman, at Red Water. two weeks ago. Smith was exhibit ing six-legged calf under the tent and, it is alleged that MoCarty and two or three other young men became enraged when Smith refused them ad mission without tickets It is said they left saying they would get even. About Il o'clock that night the tent was dynamited and Smiths feet and legs below he knees were badly in- Jured. Witnesses said that they saw McCarty leaving the vicinity immed- lately after the explosion.

ABOUT PROHIBITION

n looking over our exchanges for editorial inspiration We came upon the following paragraph as an introduc- ton to an editorial in the Nashville News:
 We didn't kick when the nation went dry when a few mollycoddles who have appointed themselves savi- CTS of the country told congress the country needed to be dry. An ob- seryation of the operation of the pres ent law indicates that the law is the greatest curse ever put on country. We never used the liquor, anyway, 50 lad no kick coming"
 There was more to it, but what fol- lowed could hardly justify the above, even if there are people who would like 10 make even an editor throw a. way his cob pipe. They will never do shat boys We are going to even let he flappers as we'll as the danes keep right on powdering their noses and painting their lips. But this booze thiag don't drag that into the argu- me4t. We are bound to admit that 0oeze is dying a hard death, but don't mistake this; the folks you call molly co5dles have just begun to fight. The WCgshipers of liber-tee, license and booze may plant still in every thick ct, but the white flag is never going to ec uu This is a fight to the death. No mistake about that We are told that there are officers in some counties jn this state who protect the sinners jn every way possible, even to the point of notifying them in advance when public sentiment forces them to make pretense at raid, but don't let that worry you the least bit. The drama is not over yet and the big fin ale may come in the last act. The meeting is not over until the benedic- t1on is said. Keep your seat. Come alive to the temper of the American people. who stand a lot and then. Public sentiment whipped a bootleg ger at Hope the other day and threw another into the bottomless mud of a down town street. Five hundred husky mollycoddles are on the ramp age at ElDorado and they are clean ing up that town. Wake up, read the papers.
