UNDERlNFLATlON Is CHIEF
CAUSE OF RIM CUTTING

Many motorists believe that rim
cutting of tires is an unfathomable
mystery UnderiIifiation usually is the
cause, but it has an ally in side sway.
Whenever tires are not properly in
flated che body of the car is permit
ted to sway from side to side unnec-
essarily. This movement is aggra-
waited in turning corners sharply.
When the air pressure is below stand
ard. the pulling on the side walls is
excessive.
The effect OF the strain often
breaks one or more plies of the fabric
nearest the rim. With one ply
broken, chatting begins, and within
a comparatively short time blow
out follows.
Side sway naturally works most
havoc when the tire is underinflated,
especially when rounding corners, ac-
cording to Miller tire experts.
Another contributing factor to rim
cutting is the practice of driving
head on" into curbings in the cities
where angular parking is required.
Many motorists, in bringing their
cars to a stand accept the line of
/ least resistance by letting their
brakes do half of the stopping job
| and relying upon the curbStone for
| the other half That accomplishes the
purpose. but it also shortens the life
of the tire.

Despite the increase In the number

FLAT TREADS PROVING
POPULAR FOR TIRES
Better Traction Because of Greater
Contact Area Seen by Miller
Rubber Experts.

The trend toward fiat treads on
pneumatic tires both for passenger
cars and motor trucks stands out as
probably the most important de-
velopment In tire construction and
design in the last year A thorough
analysis of this construction answers
the question: Why will fiat treads
eventually displace round treads on
all pneumatics?
In the first place, a fiat tread af-
fords much bette traction because of
greater contact area. Proof of this
statement is easy because 1t is only
necessary to compare the path made
by a fiat tread and by a round tread
as left in mud or snow, according to
tire experts of the Miller Rubber
Company.
Tread and ply separation are
among the greatest sources of trou-
BILE in tire life. Usually the round
tread tire begins to separate at the
shoulder. Now II d fiat tread re.

fat tread converts the fiexing point

carcass, 1T can be seen that the fiat

Tentative plans for the addition tc
be erected at the rear of Western
High School were explained by A. L
Harris, municipal architect. to D. J.
Callahan, president Of the board OF
education, and several other school
officials at a meeting held at the
Franklin School this morning.
The drawings, explained by Mr..
Harris, provide for an addition to con-
tain eighteen classrooms. a large au-
ditorium, two gymnasiums and swim
ming pools, II the latter are thought
desirable, although the cost Of the
pools would run nearly $4,000 over
the appropriation for the new struc-
ture. The plans call for a basement
and one story, with provisions for the
erection of another story II II snoulo
become necessary.
The auditorium as suggested by
Mr. Harris will have a seating ca
pacity Of 1900 persons. 1000 on the
first foor and 900 in the balcony. 1t
will be equipped with fireproof
steel curtain. There will be two
large gymnasiums, one for boys and
one for girls.
The eighteen additional classrooms
will have a capacity of $40 students,
increasing the capacity Of the entire
school to 1,200. Between the wings
of the old school building and those
of the new addition there will be a
distance Of ninety-two feet for air space.
The plans are subject to change
and alteration as those In charge

by the municipal architect as his
suggestion.

Director Hines OF the Veterans
Bureau plans to confer early next

The need for new construction to
replace the buildings which are rap

Army. to which the hospital belongs,
and the Veterans Bureau. which
sends many OF its patients there.
With the announcement recently,
however, by Director Hines that he
was negotiating with the Army con-
cerning the rebuilding Of Walter
Reed came new hope that the Vet
eranS Bureau would include in its
estimates for the next fiscal year.

Army build permannt wards at Wal
ter Reed.
At the conference next week II is
expected the question Of how the
Army and the VeteranS Bureau
could split the cost OF reconstruct
