Motor ear manufacturers are
planning increased production with
employment of more men in fac

Additional plants are. being erect

Are tire prices to be lower? Arc
there further reductions ahead, SO
that consumers should put off buy
ing9
This question is now being ask
cd so frequently by car owners that
a. F. Osterloh, vice president and
general manager of the Goodyear
Tire & Rubber company of Califor-
MIA endeavors to acuuaint the public
with the facts about tire prices.
"The price of automobile tires,
said Mr.. Osterloh, I" is governed
primarily by the market prices of
raw ruber and cotton fabric. The
retail price of tires is more sensa-
tive to raw material market prices
than is the case with most other
commodities.
Makers Take Losses
'Take the condition in 1920, for
example. When the slump came
most tire manufacturers had large
stocks and commitments of high
priced rubber and cotton. But the
decline in business caused the prices
of rubber and cotton fabric to de-
cline sharply. Instead of trying to
force high priced tires upon an un-
willing public, tire manufacturers
wrote down their inventories and
commitments on raw material and
established retail prices on their
tire proportionate to replacements
costs on rubber and on cotton.
''But in the fall of 1922 prices
of rubber and fabric began to ad-
vance rapidly. Rubber went from
about Ia cents to about 35 cents a
pound in few months and cotton
advanced more than 60 per cent.
Tire manufacturers even then, how
ever, did not Immediately advance
prices and it was not until the first
of the year-months after the mar
ket on raw materials had gone up
that tire prices finally did ad-
vance.
Gin other words, in 1920 and 1921
when the raw material market de-
clined the public got the benefit of
the decline Immediately and the rub
ber companies pocketed the loss oc
cassioned by the shrinkage in the
value of inventories and commit
ments. But in 1929, when the raw
material markets went up, the manu-
facturers did not take advantage of
the situation to recoup their losses
by extra profits, but gave the pub
lie the benefit of the low prices
on such materials as they had on
hand and under contract.
January Raise
"In January of this year, how
ever, the supplies of low priced
materials became exhausted and
higher priced materials had 10 be
used. So prices then went up. Raw
material markets continued to ad
vance and. by May another increase
in tire prices became effective. The
tire buying season, however, was a
backward one and shortly after the
May advance, the market on raw
rubber and cotton started to de

FABRIC UNIVERSAL
FLANGE FULLER

Fabric universal joint flanges
should not be removed by driving
as there is danger of springing the
arms of the spiders and if this oc-
ours the joint is not likely to
function properly. To avoid this a
simple puller can be made from a
disc of steel which in a sense will
be universal as it can be made to
take care of practically all sizes.
A heavy set screw is threaded in
to the center of the disc which
forms the leverage for pulling the
flange while the disc is drilled to
fit the various bolt circles used
with different size of fabric discs.
The puller is attached TO the arms
of the Spider by means of bolts
inserted through these holes.

BY GEORGE II. MANNING


 (Washingto Bureau of New Britain Herald
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 7.-Presi- dent Coolidge's annual message to congress made particularly big hit with the Connecticut senators and congressman, who viewed it as clear. powerful and able handling of the foremost national and international problems confronting this country to- day.
 There was pronounced absence of criticism of the presidents message by the progressives and democrats who could find in it nothing material with which they could justly com plain. Congressman Patrick 0. Sul- livan, of Derby. the lone democratic congressman from Connecticut. adroit- ly expressed his disinclination to issue q statement on the message for pub lication.
 Senator Brandegee agreed generally with the presidents views except on the permanent world court, to which he is still unalterably opposed.
 'I am against the United States joining any world court until 1t is entirely separated from any league of nations," declared Senator Brandegee, with that exception I agree general ly with President coolidge's whole message. I do not agree with him on some little details but generally it was all right, especially what he said about tax reduction"
 Congressman E. Hart Fenn Of Hart. ntd aafAs ,..l, and clever message and l agree with 1t most heartily. It covered the whole ground of legislation to be put through by this congress. was particularly pleased with his statement regarding the financial situation of the country, and his general endorsement of the Mellon plan. feel that I am in gen erai agreement also with all his other proposals and recommendation gen erally."
 Congressman Merritt Of the Stam- ford Bridgeport district said; Tt was certainly a great message in every way. both ir what he said and the way he said it I think he met every important issue before the country and he left no doubt where he stood on every question. I feel certain the people all over the country will ap. prove President Coolidge's position as expressed in his message. He did the country as whole a great service in making our foreign policy clear for the people, and in explaining that our repudiation of the league of nations does not exclude us from participating in the permanent world court if We can enter on proper grounds.
