RUBBER PRICE VARIES.
Motor Tire Makers Enjoined t.
Safeguard Use of Material.

with automobile manufacturers turn
ing out faster and faster cars each year,
the tire companies must exercise not
only the greatest care in manufacture
ing, but also must be most careful OF
the materials used, according to tire ex-
perts.
Very few outside the tire trade real
ize that the quality of rubber varies as
greatly as it does.
In the early days of the industry. the
worlds chief supplies of rubber came
from Brazil. And to this day Para
the name of the shipping point on the
upper Amazon--is identified in the
minds of motorists with prime quality
rubber.
With the development of rubber plan
tationS in the Far East, the selection OF
raw materials became more and more
difficult. Some companies have solved
this problem by making careful sur
vey Of production conditions and then
laying down a definite rule that they
would purchase rubber from only GER
tain localities where the rainfall, the
sunshine and the natural soil qualities
combine to produce the best rubber.
Except for the possibility of thus secur-
ing remarkably pure rubber, the high
mileage, which the best tires are giving
today despite the fashion for fast drtv-
ing, would be simply impossible.

CAR OUTPUT RISES

Rate of Increase in Produc.
ton Not So Large as
Last Year.

Passenger car output continues to
move upward, although production is
not increasing at the same rate of
speed that it was four weeks ago and
the total is slightly below the high
levels which were reached at this time
last year, according to B. II. Cram,
president Of Grams Automotive Re-
ports, Inc Sales are improving regu-
larry under the stimulus of ideal Spring
weather in many parts OF the country.
It is expected by many that the sales
peak for the year may be reached from
two TO four weeks earlier than Gus
ttomary.
Truck and bus production increases
gradually, although output is Substan-
tally under that of this time last year.
The outlook is more encouraging, how
ever. at the present time. and further
increases viii probably be noted during
the next 90 days. Sales are spotty,
although improvement is noted In
many parts of the country. Light de-
livery units account for the bulk of

The modern multi-story urban garage,
which is commonly built of reinforced
concrete, is based largely on arrange
ments for the vertical movement OF IN
dividual cars at higher speed or the
vertical movement of a greater number
of cars at the same speed than pre-
vailed in the garages of the older types,
asserted Glenn S. Whitman in an ad-
dress at a recent meeting of the New
England section of the Society OF Auto
motive Engineers held in Boston.
Two general methods of vertical move
ment of cars are by elevators and by
ramps. One garage in Chicago, built
into the back corner of an office build
ing, has elevators designed to travel at
speed of 600 feet per minute, which
serve 90 floors of capacity OF about 70
cars each. Development OF ramps has
been a prominent feature in the last 10
years. There are interior and exterior
circular ramps, two-way- traffic straight
ramps and the type of garage construc-
ton having floor levels on one side IN
termediate of the opposite floor levels,
with connecting ramps of small gra-
dent.
Basic considerations affecting the de-
sign of a garage are location, nature OF
patronage, capacity and method OF vertt-
cal movement. The speaker favored To-
cation on main thoroughfare.
The stability of present concrete and
steel buildings Is estimated at 40 years.

out-of-date and less valuable through
obsolescence rather than through de-
probation. Cars are becoming shorter,
lower, wider and lighter and have a
shorter turning radius. These trends
may change the requirements of ceiling
height. column spacing, elevator capac-
ity and the like. A careful survey of
modern garages shows an allotment OF
$50 square feet for each car stall,
whereas car actually occupies only
100 square feet.
The total investment in garages In
in-town Boston is almost S20,000,000,
according to the speaker, and for the
entire United States the investment in
modern garages amounts to approx
mately $2,00O,00O,000. Figures for 1926
show that the motoring public OF the
United States and Canada paid for
operation and maintenance an aggre-
gate of $4,815 100000 as compared With
a retail value Of approximately S3,-
800000,00 paid for cars and trucks
