"DOUGHNUT" TIRES THREATEN
END OF AUTOI 1OBILE WHEELS
New Vogue Conforms to Fashion Trend
and Points Toward Transformation
Radical as Switch From Cords.

The manifest desire of the populace
70 ride on rubber has brought to the
tire industry another new chance to
pioneer. This lies in the application of
rubber tires for use on steel rails in
coach travel.
The construction as worked out so
far calls for rubber contact with the
rail with an inner flange of metal act
ing as binder or retaining rim to
keep it from sliding off.
When this is worked out. It is pre-
oloted sleeping car service can be revo-
IutioRized. 1t is pictured as bringing
pneumatic tire ease of locomotion to
heavy coaches of the Pullman type,
which heretofore have operated on
Weighty metal-to-metal contact.
The huge wheels of cast iron and
the ponderous tracks to which they
were attached may become obsolete as
long distance carriers of passengers.
The new rail tires are being built for
coaches weighing only 1900 pounds,
compared with 10000 pounds for
PullmanS. The coaches are made of
stainless steel and a sO-horsepower gas
ollhe motor can pull them in place of
locomotive. Speeds up to 100 miles
an hour are possible.
fhe tire with the inner arm rim that
the coaches are TO use is inflated to IS
pounds. An internal device prevents
It from running fat in case there
should be puncture
The new vehicle hook-up is to be
tried first on short-haul lines where
traffic Is so light as to make passenger
Iraln operation unprofitable

In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

anced budgets and balanced
brakes are the most important
need of the Nation, and especially
of Americas 26,000,000 motorists,
in the opinion of w. T. Palmer, an
Official in the manufacture of
brake Innings, who has conducted
tWo-year study of our grievous
automobile accident problem.
Motorists this year, with new
taxes of all kinds facing them,
must take special care in fitting
the family car with the family
budget. The 1882 cars are more
powerful and faster than their
predecessors" Mr.. Palmer said this
week in a speech before a Con-
necticut Chamber of Commerce.
I'm many States higher speeds
than ever before are allowed and
encouraged by local authorities.
Smooth, efficient stopping is one
of their greatest and most vital
characteristics-while they are
new and in perfect adjustment.
Quickly, however, due to the in
creased strenuosity of 1882 driving
and the use of free wheeling, their
brakes are bound to become worn
and out of adjustment. This will
present terrific hazard this year
to the car owner who is now aware
of this new factor in the brake
situation.
"The specter of danger will be
intensified, also, by the fact that
hundreds of thousands of people
are deferring the purchase of new
cars at this uncertain time and
will try to get through the season
with old vehicles, many Of which
are in bad shape and have danger
ouSly worn and -adjuStmen
brakes. These cars, mingling on
the highways with the faster
newer machines, present a grave
menace to drivers and passengers
in them and in other vehicles.
The remedy is simple one. If
each owner of a new or old ma
chine will go to his brake service
station once every month or so for
an inspection of his brakes, a re-
adjustment if they are out of bal
ance and a refining if they are
dangerously worn, the expense
will be trif1ing. The resulting
actual safety may save thousands
of dollars and untold grief in the
avoidance of accidents, hospital
bills and lawsuits In addition,
the justified feeling of confidence
in a properly braked car will have
a high, but intangible, value at
this time when our minds are
occupied with too many other
problems"

A Business Aid.

A novel way to help end the
depression is brought out in the
following and deserves conSidera-
ton:
If every one Of the $4,000, 900
automobiles in this country today
were to be driven an additional
300 miles this Summer the gross
amount Of extra business thus in
duced would amount to millions
of dollars and would go far toward
restoring prosperity. according to
Joseph LedWinka, chief engineer
OF bodybuilding company, who
has just revealed some interest
ing statistical conclusions resulting
from a study of this subject.
"If this did come to happen the
total extra miles driven would be
1000, 100000" Mr.. Ledwinka said.
Figuring Is miles to the gallon
of gasoline, this means that mo-
torists would consume 466 $3.50 ,666
Extra gallons of gasoline. At a
retail cost of Is cents per gallon
this would be $69, 1898, ,999 SO. On
the basis of 10000 miles per tire
this means that 100000 extra tires
would be sold, at an average price
OF, say, $40 per tire, or $15,600, 900.
Figuring that the life of the aver
age car is $4,000 miles, this extra
mileage would make necessary the
replacement of 10000 automo-
bileS. At $1,000 each the additional
business thus induced would total
Sl56,000,000.
These figures may sound fan
tastic. They indicate, however,
the vast economic Importance of
the automobile and prove that the
more miles America rides the more
business America will do"

ROAD BUILDING HELD
NEEDING ASSURED FUNDS
Diversion or Reduction of High
way Moneys Said to Increase
Unemployment.

Construction of public improvements
serves as an employment stabilizer, par
ticularly when general business condi-
tions develop sinking spells, according
to Z. e. Duffy, highway educational
writer. In public construction road
building is the largest factor. Because
of its Importance, road building should
be unfettered, in SO far as possible, by
the whins of politics and emergency
legislation which would curtail con-
struction activities.
During the last year proposals have
been made in various States and local
communities which would lessen the
money available for new roads. Fortu-
nately, this movement has met with
little applause or success, and when the
1882 road building season opens prob
ably almost as many men will be on
road jobs as there were in 1891.
The projected forays on road funds,
however, call attention to the need for
the placement of highway building on
more stable foundation. The hun
dreds of thousands of road workers and
material and equipment laborers should
be accorded an assurance of jobs each
year when the all too short construction
season opens.

CHICAGO AREA AIDED
BY GRADE SEPARATION
Automobile Traffic Flows in Four
Directions Without
Interruption.

At one Of the busiest highway inter-
sections in the Chicago metropolitan
area automobile traffic flows in four
directions safely and without Interrupt
ton. A trife more than a mile away
is another busy intersection where on
week ends hundreds and hundreds of
cars, sometimes in lines a mile long,
are held up by cross traffic.
The first intersection is equipped
with a depressed grade separation
which permits east and west bound
traffic on Dempster street to proceed
unhampered by the north and south
bound traffic passing overhead on Mil
waukee avenue. The intersection at
Dempster street and Waukegan road
where the traffic jams are to be found
is equipped only with traffic lights and
an occasional policeman. Here traffic
is frequently stepped in three direc-
tions because of the traffic lights and
the making of left-hand turns.

DETROIT, April l6 (NANA).-
Wheels may soon disappear altage 81
from automobiles. They are giving Wy

nut" tires of the new type.
The "doughnut" tire is modernizet

developed from airplane landing gear,
and have adapted to motor cars. Five
Of the Akron factories are building
them and have perfected the first type,

conforms to the trend Of fashion anc

! to the "doughnut' tires popularity is
| the recent application of color in the
| tire fabric. On de luxe models they
have been adding tires in colors that
match body finishes. The inner edges
that in certain makes of tires were once
white or chalk tinted are now made To
appear in red, white or blue, as desired
The color is not painted on the tire
but Is worked into the rubber during
manufacture.
On the "doughnut" variety, which is
wider than the balloon, there will be
room for a wider strip of the colored

iridescent finish on the short cars

be accepted as smart on roadster coupe
and convertible types.

pressure from the 35 to 40 pounds nov
used in ordinary balloons. Instead the
car OF average size will roll along or
20 pounds Of air or less, and 1t can be
carried as low as 10 to IL pounds. Ir
one model using the new tires the 10 tC
! IL pound pressure is standard.
Besides the easier, softer riding, the
larger tires, owing to the fac, that theS
| give more expansive contact with the
road surface, should provide better
| traction and roadability. Calculations
have shown the tire area in contaei
with pavement to be two and one-hali
times increased. The engineers claim,
they can build the new equipment so il
viii be virtually skidproof. Because the
resistance to obstacles is less, it may be
possible to surmeunt eurhs, stones and
bumps at speed and with less shock
than before
On the matter of cost, the produc-
tion men figure that hubs can be pro-
duced for less than the present type
wheels, because spokes are eliminated
and less metal will be used. The tires
being larger, will call for more rubber
and therefore cost more, but that diff
Guilty should be overcome If demand
can be built up to large quantity out

NEW SPRINCTIME CAUTION SEEN ,
NEEDED FOR MODERN AUTOIST
Dampness, Freshets, Mud, Cool Mornings
and Sudden Heat Present Special
Problems for Motorists.

1t may bring flowers and new hopes,
as it has since the world began, but
Sprintime is no longer the same for the
car owner. 1t offers its usual thrill,
but its problems have many new angles.
There have been two distinct eras in
Springtime consideration of the car and
third one has recently been added.
In the very earliest days the coming Of
the budding season brought the prob
lens Of erasing the damage caused by
long storage during the Winter months.
In the middle ages" of motoring
Springtime began to mark the season
for overhauling the car in order to re-
move the ravages Of hard Winters
service. Today ears are serviced regu-
larly during the cold weather season,
Spring bringing the motorist face to
face with some entirely new situations.
How many owners, for instance, keep
in mind that the service they give the
car must be changed over for the new
and warmer season? How many think

to specify different grades of lubricant,
vary the tire preSsures, retune the
motor or readjust some of the major
units?
Because the car has performed so
faithfully throughout the cold weather
season many thousands Of motorists
seem to think they can go right ahead
giving the car exactly the sort of serv-
Ice it received during the Winter. The
maxim about leaving well enough alone
is due for close scrutiny if applied too
freely to motordom. One of the greatest
needs in fabrication, introduced by
Springtime, is reduction in the amount
OF pressure used to grease the various
bearings of the chassis.
Because shackles tend to freeze" or
rust in cold weather and lubricants are
CONCEALED, the need for higher pres
sures during greasing is obvious. Car
rying this through the warmer weather,
however, becomes a hazard. Whereas

-HE deplorable bus accident
in this city recently, in

in this city recently, in
which three persons lost
their lives, should prove an
object lesson to all motorists in
the National Capital. In the in
terests of safety, drivers must not
attempt to cross an intersection
while the amber signal light Is
6howing
It does not make any difference
IL it is the amber following the
green or red signal. The amber
signal is a warning sign, and does
not give any one the right to rush
into the intersection. If it is the
amber light with the red signal
the meaning is to get ready to
proceed. II 1t is the amber light
with the green signal 1t is a warn
ing to clear the intersection, not
to enter it. There cannot be any
misunderstanding in these cases.
Amber Light Perils.
Besides the tragedy of recent
weeks there are many minor ac-
cidents daily caused by motorists
trying to beat" the light. Count
less more are narrowly aVerted.
Traffic lights promote safety only
when the citizens of a city prop
erly use them. They are a menace
If not respected in their silent
authority. ReckleSSneSs at light
controlled intersections is reck-
lessnesS of the worst kind. 1t is
there that the careful driver in
doing the right thing expects safe
ty.and protection.
Disregard of the traffic light
signals should bring about severe
penalties to offenders. If a wait
in Traffic Court and a longer wait
in Jail could be dealt out to trans
gIessors more people would prefer
to wait at the intersection until
the proper signal flashed. Motor
lists are said at times to be gam
blers. 1t Is not a good gamble to
save a few seconds at an interSec-
tion and lose hours or days at a
hospital.
The motorist who attempts to
"beat" the light has all the odds
against him. If he continues to
do it often he will come to grief.
There is certainly no percentage.
Along this line the National
Safety Council has some words of
wisdom.
Safe Drivers Friend.
There may have been some rea-
son in years past to consider the
motor cycle "cop" in an unfriendly
light, but the modern highway
traffic officer is the safe drivers
best friend. :
The old-time "cop" was gruff
and unfriendly. His principal job
was to bring in revenue from
fines. He'd lie in wait for the un-
wary motorist and make an arrest
for the slightest infraction.
The modern officer is courteous
and friendly toward the safe
driver. He is more interested in
keeping you from breaking the
laws than in catching you in the
act. His chief job is to make the
highways safe; not to produce
revenue.
He gets after the reckless and
dangerous driver and makes the
highways safer for law-abiding
motorists. He is the only means
by which reckless driving and
overspeeding can be controlled.
Most highway traffic officers now
carry flrst-aid equipment with
them and are trained in it's use.
They arrive quickly at the scene
of an accident and are often in
strumental in saving lives that
would otherwise be lost.

Statement of Oddie.

The maximum number of per-
sons employed on emergency high
way work as a direct result of the
100000 Federal emergency ap-
preparation in 1881 was l15,l67
persons, according to the United
States Bureau of Public Roads.
On the same basis the emergency
appropriation, as now proposed,
would employ 172,750 persons, but
since staggering of employment is
being very generally used in high
way emergency work, this number
would likely be doubled, or 1856, 900
persons would be directly en-
ployed.
For every man engaged on the
highway there are two men en-
gagged IN the production of road
building equipment and materials.
in the factories or mines, and the
transportation of them. Taking
into consideration, then, that for
each man directly employed there
are two men behind the lines, the
total number engaged by reason
of the appropriation would pos
Sibly be three times the net num-
ber of 172,750 directly employed on
the highway, plus the additional
172,750 road workers alternating
in staggered work or a grand total
of 691 900. Further, assuming
that an average family consists
of three, more than 2,000, 600 per-
