BALLOON TIRES
 MUST BE STOUT
 TO GTVE'SERVI
Lee Balloon Good Exam.
 pie Of Proven Tire ]. Building

Practical performance knocks a lot of theories on the head" says Clayton Gore of Drennen Tire company. And this applies to the manufacture of tires generally and to balloon tires in partic- ular.
 ..The general public began using bal loon tires in the early spring of this year. There was a race between tire manufacturers as to which would get la market first with the newest idea in tire construction. Tons of ink was sp,lt to tell about the newest sensation in motoring-low pressure tires that thrived on no air to speak of and mis- behaved if they got too much. Car manufacturers joined in the hymn of praise about balloon tires. They re- ioiced that here at last was tire that would spare the springs of the car, forestall the inevitable rattle that tells of approaching old age in the automo- bile and give note of luxurlousness ana comfort even to cars that were not specifically designed with that end in view.
 "Now the theory of the balloon tire has had time to prove itself or other wise. this theory being that with large air chamber and wafer-thin carcass a tire could safely carry low infla- tion and give rocking-chair comfort. Well the outcome of this theory as ! see it is that nearly everybody employed fin the manufacture of tires ran to ex- tremes and the extremists have brought many a black eye to the balloon tire..
 'The balloon tires that are going to hold up will continue to have thin carcass, but not too thin. They will carry a low air pressure, but not too low. The public has had its chance to experiment with balloon tires and. has proven this to the die-hard manufac- turer.
 ''The middle course in balloon tire construction is exemplified in the Lee Balloon Cord. This tire has always carried six plies as against four plies used in certain other makes of balloons. The Lee Balloon permits of slightly higher air pressure which will be vel comed by those motorists who have been victimized by the theory that, the less air they carried in balloon tires, the better. Given a slightly heavier car cass and more air pressure people are going to get good buy sin balloon tires. This tire has had successful baptism and with the Improvements above stat. ed, is bound to gain in public approval.

 The bicycle comes in also for it's share of criticism. It threatens fife and limb after dark and rear lights are demanded.
