WEAR ON TRES
BY POOR ROADS
Motorist Pays Increased
Tax on Fuel Consump-
ton and Rubber.

Poor roads may save road taxes,
but the tolls they take on tires and in
gasoline consumption make the mo-
torist pay heavy taxes in increased
fuel consumption and rubber bills, ac-
cording to Prof. S. S. Steinberg of the
University Of Maryland, assistant d.
rector Of the National Research Coun-
ellis highway research board.
Concrete or brick roads save tires,
according to tests which have been
made to determine what kind of road
wears out tires the least. In these
tests, says Popular Science Monthly,
10Th cord and balloon tires are used
at the imitation recommended by the
manufacturers. The car is run up and
down selected level stretches of diff
ferent road types until the vehicle has
covered a distance of 500 miles, after
which the wear of the tires Is deter
mined. Thus far it has been found
that tires wear the least on concrete
and brick roads, the loss in weight of
each tire on these surfaces being
estimated at about one ounce for
run of 500 miles.
Wear on Gravel Roads.
"The tire wear on gravel roads Is
found to be from two to seven times
that on concrete or brick, while that
on macadam varies from 10 to so
times the wear on concrete or brick,
depending upon the condition of the
surface. The results also prove that
front tires wear less than rear tires,
the amounts being so per cent to rs
per cent less" he continued "The
relatively greater wear on rear tires
Is due to the bounding and spring Of
the rear wheels when travelling over
rough. surfaces. Experiments also
show that when we start our cars
from rest the rear wheels exert
downward kick on the pavement rang
ing from 100 pounds to as much as
one-half a ton. This blow must be re-
sisted by the rear wheels and axle
every time the vehicle is started for
ward.
"Other Investigations are being con-
Quoted to determine the relative con-
sumption of gasoline and oil on differ
ent types Of roads. AS result of
these studies it has been found that
the increased consumption Of gasoline
required to travel by ordinary dirt
roads costs the motorist as much as If
he had to pay an additional tax Of "a
cents a gallon on gasoline. Even good
gravel roads impose an additional ex-
penditure equivalent to 9-cent tax.
Compared with the tax imposed by
bad roads, the gas tax paid for high
way improvement is truly insignifi-
can't"
Use Artificial Wind.
Artificial winds created by large
electric fans driving through tunnel
large enough to hold full-sized auto
mobile are used to study the effect of
wind resistance. The velocity Of
these man-made winds varies from 10
to 40 miles an hour, thus producing
the same effect as if car were driven
through still air at these speeds. BY
testing a number of makes of cars, it
has been found that when you drive
at 35 miles an hour you are using
about eight horse power to overcome
the wind resistance. If you reduce
your speed to 25 miles an hour you
save five horse power.

Sparing Spare Tires

Owing to the thin walls Of the bal
loon tire, it is important to use care
in carrying them as spares, particu-
larly If more than one is thus used. If
the side walls are rubbing against any
sharp point of the tire holder or the
device used for carrying the second
spare, a hole will appear in the tires
most vital part. The efficiency of a
balloon tire depends upon the upkeep
of it's side walls, which necessarily
are thin to provide flexibility.

from the city such food is uncommon

Then there is roasted spareribs, not

that of Grecian rose with monkey
skin, the new pinkish tone introduced
this season. Which all goes to show
that the two-color theme is playing
a tremendously important part in the
styling Of crepe, also crepe-satin
frocks for afternoon wear.
OF no less interest than the color
question is that of the supple silhou'
cite, which is giving such feminized
aspect to the mode. Skirts whose full
ness is attain, d through plaits or
gathers, the b0lero and the blouse
combine to achieve the soft, pretty
comforts so approved for the coming
months. The frock In the picture is
characteristic of this new vogue. For
the upper portion of the bodice the
stylist uses the queens blue crepe,
Stimulating a bolero posed over a
very smart blouse. Plaits at the front
of the skirt only, further interpret the
mode.
The fact that so many of the new
materials are soft and often sheer
gives impetus to the new graceful sill.
