.'How does the radio A storage bat

as often as any other propounded to
the radio equipment dealer who supplies
The correct answer: ''lt has thicker

why this is true he often fails to make
clear.
SO this inquisitive radio enthusiast
bies himself to the nearest battery ser
vice man who has special radio -

for thicker and fewer plates. Mr.. Ken.
dali, local representative Of the Willard

larly clear
"There is need for n uniform deliv'
cry of current at a constant voltage
over as long period of time between
recharges as it is possible to obtain.
The immediate demand for great flood
of current, such as is required in start

BLACK TIRE CITED
AS QUALITY MARK

| ''There are a number of reasons why
a black tire is superior to a white OF
| gray one, but the most important of
| these from the motorist S standpoint is
the increased wearing quality says
Ralph Il. Brown, assistant superintend-
ent in charge of production Of the
Spreckels NsSavage' Tire Co., in a re-
cent statement.
"The tread of tire contains ap-
proximately 80 per cent Gf rubber by
weight, the balance being chemicals that
impart the necessary properties to with
stand road shocks, wear, cutting, chip
ping, weather conditions, etc. The
wearing quality of tread is produced
by introducing a very finely divided
substance. Until few years ago zine
oxide was used for this purpose, which
resulted in a white or gray tire. Some
manufacturers added a faw ounces of
lamp black to obtain the gray color and
a few used iron oxide to produce a red
colored tread.
Carbon Black Best Compound
"Later rubber engia9-rs and chemists
turned their attention to carbon as a
compounding ingredient. Carbon black
is one of the most nearly perfect forms
of amorphous carbon; its particles are
in u state of infinita, division and it
is chemically pure. Af+e' several years
of experimenting ana testing it was
found that tread could be compounded
by using carbon black tha1 wonld wear
several times longer than the old white
treads, withstand the uetsriorating eff
fects of the sun s rays much longer,
resist cutting and chipping to i greater
degree, have greater skiddirg resistance,
withstand the deteriorating influence
of oil and grease to hitherto unknown
extent, and was approximately 20 per
cent lighter in weight.
GAS might be expectes, most tire
manufacturers, who are alert to means
and methods whereby their product can
be improved, were quick to adopt the
more satisfactory compromising ingredi
ent, with the result that dark rather
than light tires are now the rule.
Spreckels Tire Ebony Black
ga great many tires are covered with
dusty material which gives the tire
gray appearance. This dusty sub
stance is uncombined or free sulphur
in the compounds working to the sur
face. If this is washed off it will be
found that the tread of the better grade
of tires is black. However, the Spreck-
els Savage Tire Co., has gone a step
futher in its Aristocrat Cord, producing
On ebony black tire by uniting practical
ly all of the uneombined sulphur, the
result being handsome tire as well as
one that is second to none for quality
and service.

infancy and il is hard to imagine what

GOODYEAR FACTORY
CLAIMS RECORD

On Friday, August Is, a new produc-
ton record was reached when 1896
tires and 5,306 tubes were turned out
of the big Los Angeles factories of
the Goodyear Tire q Rubber Co. Of
California.
The highest previous record was made
on August IL, last year, when 4,076 tires
and 5000 tubes were produced.
III. f. Blythe, superintendent of the
western Goodyear factory says:
"In the great Goodyear factories at
Akron and Los Angeles, where the fam
Gus All-Weather Tread was developed,
all of the ordinary equipment and many
exclusive pieces of apparatus are used
in making thousands upon thousands of
experiments in the search for better
tires.
- 1t must not be imagined that tires
nut to these tests are any different from
the Goodyear tires you buy on the mar
ket. The Goodyear laboratory has done
great deal for the rubber industry, as
a whole, by finding ways to maintain
the uniformity of rubber. The hand
ling of rubber requires the most careful,
and accurately timed sort of attention,
for rubber is even more temperament

RAILROAD STRIKES
RECALL ESSEX RUN
ACROSS CONTINENT

Two years ago this month two Essex
stock cars carrying United States mail
started out at midnight, one from New
York and the other from San Francis
co, into the night on their way across
the continent. They passed each other
near Council Bluffs, Iowa, and four
days, IA hours and 43 minutes after it
left San Francisco the eastbound car
deposited its mail in the New York
postoffice.
This was new transcontinental rec
ord made, according to w. II. Lewis,
local agent, and it still stands.
Four Essex ears in all made this
transcontinental trip in August, 1920,
in an average time of days, 81 hours
and 80 minutes, a mark which likewise
has been been equalled by any other
ear, Lewis says.
Mail Use Demonstrated
Attention was turned to these trans
continental performers the other day
by Essex motors, when the question
was raised as to whether or not auto
mobiles could be pressed into, use as
fast as transportation vehicles in case
the nationwide railroad strike should
ever become complete tieup Of rail
road transportation.
The run the Essex cars made carry
ing mail brings out forcibly the posi-
bilities of passenger automobiles as
fast Transportation vehicles, it is ar
gued. Because of the performance of
these ears and the lessons learned by
the automobile industry during this
trip, several improvements in motor
car design have been possible. The
performances were q striking illustra-
tion Of the durability of today's auto
mobiles, especially so in view of the
announcement that all four of these
Essex ears are still in daily service.
They have been run an aggregate dis;
tance of more than 100000 miles.
Transcontinental No. / was the car
which made the fastest time. No. 2,
running west, was second in days,
10 hours and IL minutes. No. 3, run
ming east, made the 3347 miles in four
days, 21 hours and Sc minutes and the
fourth, starting from New York, reeled
off her trip in days, 6 hours and ID
minutes. The last two ears each
started after the first two had finished
and their slower time was due to
heavy rains they encountered, partlc'
ularly in the Rocky Mountain regions.
The first ear had to make more than
30 miles an hour, including stops, to
finish as it did. Only four ears were
used for the test.
Fastest Car Still Fast
No. /. the fastest car, which has
been driven move than $4,000 miles,
was in Galveston, Texas, not long ago,
and Charles Newding, dealer there,
had an opportunity to drive it on Gal
veston's famous racing beach. he re,
ports that it worked splendidly at all
speeds even up to 65 miles an hour.
No. has gone more than 5O,ooo
miles and has not yet even been over
hauled. No. 3, has been driven more
than 65 900 miles and its motor parts
were scarcely touched until last spring
The fourth ear, owned by +. Ii. Carpen'
ter Of the Hudson Motor Car Company,
has travelled about $4,000 miles.

Brain -teasers for auto owners who
think they know lot about touring IL
California have been evolved by The
touring bureau of the Auto Club OF
Southern California.
Here are 10 of the selected question:
issued by the Auto club to test motor
ist Is general touring ability:
Where is the town of ROosevelt9
Where is the San Pasqual grade 10

and they will give you the answers
Practically every county in the southern
part of the state is represented in these
teasers.
According to statistics just gathered
by the automobile club, motorists OF
the southern and central parts of Cali
fornia are stretching their touring ac
tivities over a greater number of miles
than ever before.
Scores of auto parties are visiting
the White mountains in Arizona, where
many interesting Indian ruins and petri

UNpERINFLATION LOSSES

It has been calculated that tue loss
to many car owners who do not watch
the initiation of their tires may easily
reach as high as 500 in a year and,
according to what an expert of the Fire
stone Service Department says, tire
insufficiently inflated may not only
be injurious to the casing and tube but
may affect the delicate mechanism of
the ear or truck on account of imper-
feet balance and added jar.
