CARE OF FIRES
THE expert automobile driver
knows that he cannot drive at
high speeds, slam on his brakes
or take corners when driving
fast without shortening the life
of his tires" Miss Easton stated.
He also knows that to get the
maximum mileage from ms
tires he must keep them prop
erly inflated. Both under-infla-
ton and over-inflation are dam
aging"
The talk included a discussion
of the history of rubber, our sit
uarion at the moment, and what
is being done to augment our
stockpile through developing a
synthetic industry. Samples of
several types of synthetics
were displayed.
HOPE FOR TIRES?
She pointed out that under
the newly announced Tires
for-all" program it is hoped that
as soon as present restrictions
become fully effective eligibil-
ity rules can be relaxed so all
drivers will be able to secure
some type of replacement tire or
recap which will enable them to
continue driving
However, she said, the report
made by the Baruch Committee
emphasized the fact that until
we are assured of quantity pro-
duction of synthetics and a sup
ply of natural rubber most of
the stocks on hand must neces-
sarily be conserved for military
and essential civilian needs.
Non-essential civilian users
can anticipate increasing restric-
tons until the end of 1913 or
the early part of 1914, but can
do much toward meeting the
problem through careful driv-
ing, she concluded.
