OVERSIZE TIRES
/ MAKING NEW
GAINS
Development Tested by Yellow
Cab Co. Shows ''Unsprung
Weight" Decreased.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 31.-A new
development appears in the automo-
tive industry in the small-diameter
wheel with the large oversize tire,
having, it's sponsors claim, many ad-
vantages over the. present sizes Of
pneumatic tires.
1t was pioneered by the Yellow
Cab Manufacturing Company, of this
city, who have given it a thorough
tryout in their testing laboratory.
the Yellow Cab Company, Of Chi
cago, which operates more than 1000
cabs.
The yellow cab ds built and oper-
ated on q cost-per-mile basis that is
not eQualed, It is said, in the auto
motive industry. The company's
fixed policy Is lnw. cost of operation
to give the public low rates OF fare.
It Il now announced that yellow cabs
can be operated at less cost per mile
than the average citizen can operate

II was with this in view that two
years ago the company started ex-
pefimenting with the small diameter

Today yellow cabs going to the large
municipalities, it IL reported, are
equipped with q 29inch wheel,
either Dtsteel or Budd type, with
either q 2sx4z Firestone or Good

Miss COllett Is.
 Eliminated rom National Tourney

WESTCHESTER BILTMO E COUNTRY CLUE. RYE, N. Y, oct. Z. The golf crown of Miss Glenna Collett toppled down on the fairways here Thursday when Mrs. Clarence II. Vanderback of Philadelphia elimi- mated her from the national title play 2 up and l.
 Because of the palrings. the hopes of many title holders were doomed to death during the days competi- tion. but few expected that the 1922 champion of them all would be among those to fall. As a result, AleXa Stirling former national champion and now on what appears to be a strong come back, stands out as in- creasingly the favorite for titular honors this year.
 Miss Collett, who breezed through her first nine Wednesday with a B. of Dorothy Highbie of Chicago, was one under par, and easily disposed far from form Thursday. She required 47 strokes her first nine and rounded the turn three down to Mrs. Wander beck Consistently out driving her op- ponent from the tee, Glenna was ter rible on the greens, in fact, her whole short game-both approaching and puttins-Was so cratic that she dropped hole after hole by her pitches and putting.
 Such was the champions game that she won only one hole on the out ward journey, getting a birdie on the 462-yard sixth Mrs. Vanderbeck wasp laying carefully, through not brilliantly, and did the outgoing nine in 43, wasting nothing on the greens.
 At the close of the eleventh hole Glenna was four down with but seven to go. She then started rally that bid fair for a moment to set straight again her topping crown. She took the twelfth with beautiful long game through the green and two butts. The next two holes the cham pion took in par figures leaving her but one down with four to go. She was still one down when they halVed the fifteenth in pars.
 Then, on the sixteenth, Glenna out drove her opponent 50 yards from the tee and 1t looked like a squared match. But her approach was faulty and again her short game failed her in the pinch. Mrs. Vanderbeck won the hole, leaving the champion dormie two.
 The best Glenna could do on the seventeenth was half in five and her title was gone.
 Meantime Alexa Stirling had an easy win by up and 3 over Melvin Jones of Chicago; Dorothy Campbell Hurd was beaten 1 up by Mrs. E. A. H. Goss and England's lone con- testant, Miss Edith Leitch, was elimi- mated 6. and by Edith Cummings uf | Chicago.

Substitutiops were in- ferquent and the two outfits had full swing at each other with being weakened by substittuions. While the scrimmages were of the nature of a regular game the coaches were convenient a kept scrutinous eye focused on the operations of both teams and were busy pointing out the ragged edges as the game pro- gressed and, without hesitancy, were offering methods of procedure for ironing out the rough spots.

Of the Speculative Builder
Cooperation of Committee of Women
Sought--Demonstration House for E.-

Speculative builders are going to
build better homes.
One of the results o. the better
homes week campaign last June is
the announcement on the part of sew
eral of them that they have sought
the cooperation Of the local commit
tee of women in order to secure the
privilege of building a house that will
be used as the demonstration house
next May in the 1924 better homes
campaign.

reports of the better homes week
activities in various towns and cities.
where the builders have agreed to do
the job under the supervision of the
national council of the better homes
organization. of which Herbert
Hoover is chairman.
Heretofore, the local chairman in a
given town has been under serious
handicap in obtaining q demonstra-
ton house in which TO carry on her
campaign of education in all phases
Of homemaking. Usually the most
available houses for this purpose
were new homes constructed by spec
ulative builders for selling. If she
accepted the ready invitation of the
builder to borrow one of these houses
as a demonstration house il meant
that the builder would quickly exploit
the fact and sell 1t and others like it
TO the public with the implication
that they We're model better homes.
No Basis for Claims.
In few instances were these houses
sufficiently in conformity with the
ideals of modern home construction
ment to furnish any basis of truth for
such an assumption. The chairman
was. therefore. forced to insist that
thu builder sign an agreement rigidly
prescribing his advertising intentions.
While many builders were ready to
conform, others We're not. and cam
paigns in many towns and cities had
to be abandoned.
