Since so many of our boys are

Dozens Have Additions

One, a girl violinist, asked
Diana TO go along and accom-
pany her.
Diana did and was invited to
play a solo afterward.
Then she went home and con-
sidered the episode ended.
Four weeks later the studio
telephoned her that one of the
supporting roles might be de-
signed for a pianist, wondered
whether she could possibly get
up" on the Grieg Concerto in
two weeks.
Diana said yes.
Mrs. Loehr, knowing the Con-
certo to be difficult and long,
was dubious. But Diana went to
work and within week had
memorized il.
Timidly she reported to the
studio and was assigned a small
role.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81.

NEW YORK, Oct. 81.
THOUGH business on Broad
u way is booming, and there
are plenty of willing customers
with folding money, the produc-
ers seem unable to produce, and
the week has brought forth only
a couple of play reviVals and a
pair of new musical shows which
might as we'll be revivals for all
the freshness in them.
Plainly the play shortage has
become an acute drouth. which
recalls painfully those flush days
when a manager found a script
in an otherwise unoccupied taxi
cab and presented it with smash
ing success. I understand the
managers now complain that
they haven't enough money to
take cabs, so that source has
dried up. There aren't even as
manY cabs.

so Per Cent Of All
Tires Submitted For
Treads Too Far Gone

Failure 70 present tires for re
treading before they are worn too
far IS destroying the usefulness
OF many tires now in service in
the opinion OF engineers in tire
design.
Dealers and their employees
warn motorists they are endanger-
ing the rehabilitation value OF
tires By driving them too long.
Tire inspectors and retreaders
have reported that. mp To 80 per
cent OF the tires inspected for re-
treading have passed the stage
where satisfactory retreading
Job can be done The inspectors
and retreaders' report dealt with
tires submitted by Glass B eligi-
bles for retreading.
There are three principal rea-
sons for rejection OF tires for re-
caps. the tire experts said:
Tires worn down so far that
satisfactory adhesion of the re-
treading material is impossible.
Breaks in the carcass too
large or too numerous for salts
factory repair before retreading.
3-Cords have been loosened by
under-inflation or from having
been run flat.
National service I'm preventing
waste OF rubber through excessive
wear OF tires intended eventually
for retreading can be assisted by
educating motorisst TO the follow
ing principles:
speeds maintained below 40
miles per hour.
2-Accurate initiation weekly.
3-Outside and inside inspection
TO catch little breaks before they
become larger
4-RotatIon of the tires for
even wear.
| Irregular wheel alignment and
brake adjustments.
| 6-Wheel balance.
Having tires inspected when
they become smooth in order that
retreading can be accomplished be
fore II is too late.
Truck tires should be removed
for retreading with a minimum of
/ one-eighth OF an inch OF the orig
inal tread remaining on the cen.
ers. Passenger tires should be re-
moved for retreading while they
still contain a minimum of one.
sixteenth OF an inch.
Where irregular wear or operat-
ing conditions result In more rapid
wear in small sections OF the tread.
the tire should be removed for re-
treading at the time the tread has
worn through in any spot, exposing
the layer of cushion gum directly
under the tread. This prevents the
entrance of moisture and deterior-
alton of the carcass fabric. as well
as insuring better adhesion when
the retread is applied.
