GOVERNOR RITCHIE'S VIEWS

Bridgeport Telegram) Albert c. Ritchie. governor of
 Maryland, taking office for the
 fourth time made an inaugural ad-
 dress that was devoted mainly to the affairs of the nation. It was at once
 hailed as a frank bid for the dem.
 ocratic nomination for president. There seems to have been little se-
 crecy about that. as "Ritchie for
 President" banners were conspicuous among the decorations at the inaugs ural.
 Governor Ritchie attacked the eighteenth amendment, deplored the increasing centralization of power
 at Washington with consequent cur- tailment of state rights, and scored the republican tariff. In all three
 cases there is reason to believe that he Is on the popular side. In the first two instances there has been a decided swing in sentiment in re-
 cent years. while in the case or tho
 tariff, its friends are apologizing for its immediate effects. Doubt of it's
 tficiency is becoming apparent tn
 quarters which never before had
 a.y qualms on the subject.
 Governor Ritchie made strong
 lid for popular support on these points, but he cannot be accused of trimming his sails to the veering
 breezes of public favor. What he said in his inaugural address. he has
 been saying on every public occasion
 for the past eight or ten years. His
 policies are not fair-weather policies. If they have become popular in re-
 cent years it is because the people
 have changed, not because Ritchie
 has changed.
 Ha xyoa against nrohihition when 1t was considered almost treason not
 to be in favor of 1t; he was pointing out the evils of centralization when
 almost every visitor in Washington
 carried in his pocket some scheme for a new government bureau and activity; he was against the tariff
 when the nation very largely be-
 lieved that a high tariff made it proof against diversity.

We should like to call attention to the fact that the trolley rails - along upper Rob- bins and West Main streets constitute a men, ace to auto traffic.

Gum-Dibping

'S VFEO'VS
Is the Firestone trade name for that
patented, basic process which makes Fire
stone Tires Fundamentally different from
all other tires. 1t is one Of the reasons why
Firestone, through many years, has easily
been able to make good the statement:
"Mcst miles per dollar" 1t is not some
thing done to a tire after it is made. Il
Is something very vital done before the
tire Is made.
To GRASP
the full significance Of Cum.Dipping, it
isnecessary to know something about how
. tire is made and what goes on within
a tire on the road. The body Of the tire
bears the principal strains in service. To it
is attached the tread which provides rac-
ton and takes the wear Of the road.
The usual tire
body is built up Of layers or plies Of cot
ton cords between which rubber has been
forced. Rubber is incompressible. Hence
the tire body practically does not expand
or contract to meet road shocks. It Aexes
that is, it changes form.
The strain Of the Fexing
tends to pull the plies apart and also to
pull the cords themselves apart. A tire
nexes about seven hundred times in mile
which gives some idea Of the strains and
the friction which a tire must endure
The great enemy
% tire life Is internal friction. Years
ago the fabric was square the
cotton cords sawed, one across another.
a

It 1U1s realized

that if the fbers Of cotton in cord could
be insulated one from another, then a
step-up in tire life could be had compa-
rable to that made by shifting from square
woven fabric to parallel cords. That is
what al tire makers have been striving
for. That is what Firestcne has achieved.

Every cord

used in Firestone Tires has been treated
with rubber solution which penetrates
every cord and coats every fiber; and
thus not only the cords, but also the very
fbers within them are insulated.

What Is Dipping?
Eight pounds

Eight pounds
Of fine, pure rubber are, by the patented
Cum Dipping process, integrated into
every one hundred pounds Of cotton cords.
This means three extra pounds of pure
rubber added to an average set of dres
and added where it means most to the
strength and the life Of the tire. This extra
rubber all goes into the cords Of the dire
where you never zee il.
Why
does Firestone put in this extra value?
And what does it mean to you? It means
just this. The performance = the extra
value-has been shown for years on the
road and in the laboratory. It hes been
proved that Cum-Dipping:
INCREASES the fIsxing life Of O
cotton cord by 58%.
increases tire life by from 25%
to over 1919. according to the sever
