drying is usually done by unit heaters,
although large blowers frequently are
used separately. One Of the largest
companies has developed secret proc
ess for melting the crude rubber and
bringing it over in tanks, like any liquid.
One of the largest manufacturers In
Akron has developed big market for
reclaimed rubber. The reclaimed rub
Der is first ground up like fine coffee or
sand and washed. After the washing
process, the water Is squeezed out by
pressing before it goes to the big air
driers. The air drier is huge chain
conveyor through which air Is driven.
Each drier delivers 1900 pounds Of rub
ber, from which 1t removes 400 pounds
Of water In from four-and-a-half to nine
hours. Each drier has three fans which
blow 1000 pounds of air every minute
through the rubber.

to the tire and thus giving the ultimate

MALADJUSTED RIMS
CAUSE TIRE LOSS
Manufacturer Warn Owners to
Fasten Lugs Tightly All
Around.

Millions Of miles of tire service are
wasted every year simply because car
owners apply rims on wheels carelessly,
according to tire manufacturers.
Improper application of rims on
wheels is likely to cause rapid tread
wear and spotty wear and may even
detract from the ease and comfort OF
driving by throwing the wheel OF
balance.
None Of these will occur, however.
IL the lugs holding the rim on the wheel
are frightened evenly all around, accord
ing to tire men. When tire is changed
on the road the nuts holding the lugs
should be screwed up snugly but not
tightly all around three or four times
until the rim sets firmly on the wheel
and shows no wabble when the wheel Is
spun.
The nuts may then all be tightened
firmly, being sure that space between
| the wheel and the rim is the same at
| all points. When that is done the
nut should be tightened over the valve
stem to hold 1t firmly and keep dirt
and moisture from entering the inside
Of the casing through the valve stem
| opening.
If the lugs are not frightened evenly
around the rim one side may have a
larger radius from the axle than the
other side, with a resultant tendency
| to cause extra wear at those places.
| They, too, may force the rim farther
on the wheel on one side than another.
which would give the appearance OF a
wheel wabble, and cause the destructive
cross action on the road which wears
| the tread rapidly.
Life of a tire may be shortened BY
several thousand miles II the rim Is not
installed evenly, according to tire men.
| Tire dealers are extremely careful tn
obtain proper installation as their
experience has shown the importance
| of 1t.

ONE DRIVER IN FIVE
FEELS HAND OF LAW
Average of Charges for Traf-
fic Violations Estimated
by A. A. A.

An average of one out of five motor
lists in the metropolitan areas is charged
with violations of the traffic laws each
year.
This statement was issued by nation
al headquarters of the American Auto
mobile Association yesterday, based on
QUESTIONABLE addressed by its safety
department to police authorities OF Sc
cities, ranging in population from 5O,-
600 to over 5000, 900. Complete returns
were received from Is and partial re-
turns from others.
Following are some of the striking
facts developed by the survey Of the
national motoring body:
l. The number of persons charged
with violations of the traffic laws In
18 metropolitan centers in 1927 was
614,232, as compared to 77,940 10 years
ago.
2. While scar registration in these
cities increased only 326 per cent in the
same period. there was gain Of $50
per cent In the charges of traf1c viola
tions.
Baltimore Violations Up.
8. Only six cities, namely, El Paso
Tex; Los Angeles, Minneapolis. Mimi;
Worcester, Mass; Chicago, Ill, and
Denver, Colo, showed a percentage OF
increase in car registrations greater
than the gain in traffic violations.
4. Baltimore, Md, showed the great
est increase in violations of the traf1C
laws, with gain Of 2,975 per cent In
the 10-year period, while car registra-
tions increased only '374 per cent.
5. Los Angeles, Calf, reported the
Ia Sva @kVsnk fANH~
with 1890 per cent, while the number
"It is apparent from this survey
of traffic laws and regulations has re-
suited in a gain in the number charged
with violation of the law far greater
than the increase In number of motor
vehicles. 1t shows in a definite way
the need for uniformity in the basic
rules for governing traffic, In order thai
the car owner may be free from the
annoyance Of arrest, which in many
instances is based upon misunderStand-
ing of the different regulations in many
cities"
Uniform Traffic Code.
The national motoring body pointed
out that the uniform municipal trafflC
ordinance, recently prepared by IL ma
tional associations concerned with traf-
fic and safety, is specifically designed
to remedy such a condition. There i
no more striking evidence needed tc
show the merits of this plan than thu
conditions revealed In this survey" the
statement said.
The A. A. A. statement continues:
"The number of traffic charges now
facing police authorities in the metro
politan areas is greatly hampering the
work of handling more serious viola.
tions of the law and is In addition q
great source Of annoyance to Cal
owners.
This condition Is further complicated
by the fact that hundreds upon hun
dreds of varying trafdc rules and reg.
ulations adopted by municipalities have
bewildered the motorist to the extent
that he is baffled in meeting the chang
ing conditions.
"Only through some degree Of uni
formity, such as is proposed in the uni.
form municipal traffic ordinance, car
it be hoped to regulate trafic success
fully and with maximum corporation
from motorists of the Nation"

Edward N. Hines, for 81 years men,
ber of the Board of County Road Com
nnissioners Of Wayne County, Mich, and
known as the grandfather Of concrete
roads in America" recently declared in
Chicago that the Nations greatest high
way need Is the immediate requirement
of wider rights of way and the widen
ing of all main pavement arteries. He
was guest of honor at meeting at
tended by highway leaders and spon-
sored by the Chicago Regional Plan
ming Association.
Hines built the first concrete road in
the country, just outside of Detroit, in
1909, and this road has been continue
ously in service for 18 years. At that
time concrete had been used sparingly
for city streets, but not for rural roads,
and there were barely so miles of con-
crete pavement in the entire United
States 1t Is estimated that by the end
of 1928 this country will have more
than $4,000 miles Of concrete roads,
streets and alleys.
The Wayne County board, of which
Hines was the first chairman, and on
which Henry Ford served for several
years, was the first to develop a con-

use soon will be supplemented by others
under construction.
These tunnels vary In length from
100 to 800 feet. However, engineers are
recommending that they be as short
as possible, and to this end stair
steps are replacing ramp descents.
Highland Park, Michigan, has con-
structed two such foot subways near
schools, and has designs for a third,
with others contemplated. The first Of
the Highland Park tunnels also was
built as an experiment, and 1t. too,
Immediately proved its practicability.
Pedestrian tunnels have not as yet
been adopted for adult use at busy
downtown street intersections, but, with
automobile traffic increasing, it is not
unlikely that such subways will be in
stalled. With further growth in traf-
fic to be faced 1t is probable that the
pedestrian will be required to change
his method of crossing streets
The Nationwide use of pedestrian
tunnels near schools Is foreseen, for,
aside from the safety feature, they pay
for themselves through the elimination
of traffic policemen. or the freeing Of
them for other duties.

the first to put this plan under con-
struction, and the first to conceive the
idea Of separating traf1c at highway
intersections.
There are more than 500 miles OF
concrete roads now in service in the
Wayne County system, with many ad-
ditional miles under the jurisdiction OF
the Super Highway Commission for
Macomb, Wayne and Oakland Coun-
ties, including the famous wider Wood
ward super-highway and others, Hines
said. It is claimed that Wayne County
has the finest and most extensive high
way system Of any similar community
in the world.
Hines claims that the greatest con-
tribution a community can make to
solving its tangled traffic problems is to
provide wide rights of way over which
permanent pavements may be con-
structed. The 204-foot width Of right
of way has become standard in Wayne
County, and on many of these two
strips of concrete, 20 feet or more in
width, have been laid to carry traffic
in each direction, with an open strip
down the center for rapid transit.

ceedings to secure and maintain wide
rights of way. Some authority, whether

pavements are laid when the demand
of the people becomes sufficiently great.

Proving that the pampas Of Ar
gentine and Patagonia could be
crossed in q modern automobile, a
Franklin ear operating under the
| auspices Of a good-roads movement
launched BY the Buenos Aires news
paper La Razon, covered 5000 kilo-
meters through sub-tropical and sub
arctic temperatures, traversing in
| the Journey the countries Of Bolivia,
Argentine and Chile. The trip
started in the torrid zone at Tupiza,
Bolivia, crossed the Tropic Of Capri
corn and ended at Punta Arenas,
Chile. virtually the farthest south
mainland Of South America and only
10 degrees from the Arctic circle.
Emilio K~arstulovic. famous South
American race driver piloted the
car and the automobile club Of Ar
g~entine inspected and sealed the
mechanism against adjustment be-
fore departure, checking it after ar
rival.

read improvement that the United
States made during the famed Gid
den tour and pathfinding expedi-
tons. While the Argentine run was

York 70 San Francisco--4,971 miles
obstacles stood in the way OF these
latest pa~thfinders that were quite
similar to those met by the early
good-road enthusiasts in this coun-
try.
Crossing raging rivers and the al
most ~trackless pampas. following
goat paths and negotiating snow
drifts, the American built air-cool-
ed Franklin astounded motorists of
the southern republic. From the
su~b-tropical plains Of Northern Ar
gentine TO the bleak, snow-swept
passages OF the southern Patagonia,
not an adjustment Of the engine was
necessary.
Twenty-Five days were required
for the trip, during which the pas
enger suffered from the fierce
pampas winds, hardship. thirst and
mosquitoes. In fording several rivers,
sand actually was deposited in the
seats OK the car In some cases dry
river beds were followed for dis
tances Of Is kilcmeters.
The start was made at the peak
Of the rainy season which washed
cut roads and inundated the fields.
Despite these difficulties. many To-
cal records were established. From
San Diago to Icano. the Franklin
beat the time OF the fast express.
Again, from Santiago del Estero to
Santa Re, another local speed record
was shattered. covering the $40
kilometers in 70 hours which includ-
ed an hour used in crossing the
Dulce river.

Home Hints
SUMMER CLOSETS

Summer is good time to dress
your closets up. Shoe, clothes and
hat bags can be made inexpensively
from washable lowered material.
One good coat of pale pink, green or
yellow paint can make the inside of
your closet into different place.
BATHROOM CARE
If each person in family has his
own towel rack and toothbrush
holder much confusion is saved. The
children's racks should be low
enough for them to reach handily,
and they should be taught to spread
their towels out properly after US
ing.
SHOWER CURTAIN
Rubberized shower curtains will
last much longer if care is taken to
spread them out across the rod i'm
mediately after using, each time.
~
VACUUM CLEANER
If you use your vacuum cleaner
on your mattresses every week 1t
will keep them not only clean, but
fluffy.
CORN ON THE EAR
Put q little sugar into the boiling
water you cook your ears Of corn in.
Just before they are done add the
salt. This gives a better flavor.
LUNCHEON DISH
Fried slices Of tomato make an at
tractive luncheon dish when served
on toast, covered with cheese sauce,
and garnished with two grilled slices
of bacon.
BRIGHT UMBRELLAS
Wash your umbrellas every once
in a while. Open and use nail brush
