a concealed one.

will become hot after being flexed
q few times, and in the course Of a

upon to Withstand the action Of this
heating and flexing into the millions
Of times.
A S3x5 cord casing, for example,
will flex 35S,SoQ times in q 100.mile
drive. Each time that any given
spot in the casing f1exes when 1t
strikes the ground, a little bit Of
heat is generated inside the tire.
This brings about an additional
problem for the technical man who
is charged with the responsibility Of
giving the car owner q maximum
amount Of mileage in each casing.
He must devise a means Of escape
for this internal heat.
Let Heat Escape.
It is destructive to the tire be-
cause it serves to separate the plies
of fabric.
Therefore, the sidewall Of any
automobile tire is made very thin
so as to afford q means Of escape
for the heat. Rubber is pretty
much of a nonconductor Of heat so
the Sidewalk must be thin. Some
of the heat generated inside Of the
casing is absorbed by the metal rim
which is q good heat conductor.
This principle Of heat generation
can be easily found out by any
motorist simply by feeling the tire
after driving some time without a
stop.

NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-Bullish
demonstrations on a moderate scale
were resumed in the first two
hours trading on the stock ex-
change today. Bulls were greatly
encouraged by the way the market
stood up yesterday under the weight
of profit-taking and were eager to
continue their program for higher
prices, once this pressure was re-
moved. While yesterdays session
was mainly speciality affair, to.
days activity was extended to four
groups, the steels, the motors, the
oils and the feathers. With the
exception Of the latter ample reason
for the improvement could be found
in the overnight news which in
cluded an estimated October steel
ingot production of 3,547 1866 tons
agianse 3,316,166 in September, an
increase in the October production
of automobiles and decrease in
the weekly crude oil production.
Pacific Oil and Standard Oil OF Cali
fornia showed strength as result
OF the latter.
A small volume of realizing sales
was quickly absorbed at the OPEN
ing with practically no declines.
This evidence of underlying
strength was readily sensed by bulls
and bears alike, who consequently
became more aggressive on the puy-
ing side. Stocks, like steel common,

advances of two to as high as four

BANKING
Restricts State Banks in Re-
serve System to Branches
Within City Limits.
By HARRY GUSACK.

Establishment by State banks of
branches outside Of the corporate
limits of the city in which the
parent institution is located will
not be permitted after February J.,
1924. under a new policy announced
yesterday by the Federal Reserve
Board with relation to State banks
In the Federal Reserve System.
The purpose of the action is to
restrict the advantages which State
banks have had in certain States
to the serious disadvantage of ma
ttonal banks, which are not per-
mittedz to extend their activities be-
yond the cities in which they are
located. The ruling has special APP
pltcation to California and a few
other States where State banks
have been permitted under State
laws to operate branches through
out the State.
In adopting the new regulations
It Is stipulated that this policy is
not intended to affect the status
OF any branches or additional Of
ices established prior to February
i, 1924, either those of banks at
the present time members of the
Federal reserve system or those
banks applying for membership in
the system.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.None OF
the proposed legislation designed 70
amend or repeal the transportation
act Of 1920, or to modify the present
operation of the railroad systems
of the country has the slightest
chance Of passage in Congress, to-
day, said Frederick ]. Lisnan4 gem
orally conceded to be one Of the
foremost American railroad econo-
mists.
Lisnan predicted continuing Inn
provement in the operation and
financial conditions Of the trans
portation lines and commended them
for the excellent progress made this
year in bringing equipment up to
pre.war standards.
1923 Not Normal.
In discussing the railroad situa-
ton. Lisman pointed out, many
overlook the fact that 1928 was not
a normal year from the standpoint
Of expenses because most Of the
railroad companies had to make
EOOQ the USpEOG1ds1OuS "a GAC LWO
previous years.
ssMost 81 the present dissatisEac-
|tion as expressed by the newer mern-
bers of Congress, said Lisman, els
centered around the general ques-
ton of freight rates, principally
on agricultural products. The so
called Guarantee Clause of the
Transportation act, comes in for
wide and wild berating. though 1t
means absolutely nothing, It's re-
peal would not take anything OF
Importance from the railroad act.
/. g. G. Has Full Power.
.'To the Interstate Commerce
Commission is delegated full author
ity to prescribe the rates at which
various articles are to be trans
ported from one section of the
country to another. The courts
would doubtlessly enjofn the at
tempt to supersede the authority
OF this rate making body and no
rate schedule which did not have
its Endorsement could be made
operative under existing laws.
Moreover public sentiment is strong
~ with the railroad companies to-
day, and any attempt to embarrass
them would meet with widespread
disapproval."
Only three of the large and imF
portant railroad systems are falling
short of their financial require
ments this year, Lisman pointed
out: The ST. Paul, New Haven and
Seaboard Air Line roads. Each OF
these systems is facing peculiar
problems which time and efficient
management may help 60 solve, he
said.
