One of the first rubber companies
to apply itself to the problem of pro
ducing tires for the modern truck
the most efficient carrier since the
locomotive wa-s The Goodyear Tire
Rubber company, Akron, O. In the
volution of the pneumatic truck tire,
this company with its extensive re
search facilities, has played a most
prominent part.
Tn many respects the introduction
of the motor truck has not been unlike
that of the locomotive some ninety
years ago. When the locomotive was
i shered into a wondering and incredu
lous world, its sponsors entertained
fanciful visions of its future import
ance as a carrier, but their "iron
horse" was still little more than a
giant toy. Road conditions absolutely
prohibited its use. Then followed a
period during which a steel track was
perfected.
First the rails of hardwood strips,
then ribbons of iron were placed on
these wooden rails, next all-iron rails,
a little later a light "T" rail and now
the heavy rail of today.
The adaptation of the motor truck
to present day traffic uses has been
accomplised by conquering just as try
ing conditions as those confronting
the locomotive of nearly a century ago.
Gas makes the giant go, but without
a suitable track of tires of rubber;
the sap of a tree its commercial ad
vantages would be limited.
The first trucks were fitted with
solid tires, for at that time no other1
fires were available. But the Good
year company began immediately to
develop a tire that would permit the
motor truck to branch out into a
broader feild of service. The advan
tages of pneumatic equipment were
apparent and now thousands of truck
owners are adopting them for use in I
every conceivable kind of service.
Pneumatic, tires on. trucks save the
load, the truck and the road, permit
better time and therefore increase the
amount of load that can be hauled in
a given time. They have been a
great aid in the development of uni
versal use of the truck.
The country has been having an agi
tation in regard to the effect of heavy
trucks on interurban pavements.
Pneumatic tires on trucks work no
harm to the roads. For they are built
o distribute the load properly on the
road surface. It is not primarily the
weight of a truck that harms the road,
hut the bumping and pounding of the
truck. With pneumatics this is elim
inated for the tire tread accomodates
itself to the road surface and has no
more harmful effect than an automo
bile tire has.
The motor truck has come to stay.
It must be recognized as an ommon car
rier. There is a distinctive field 'for
both solid and pneumalic tires on
trucks, according to the service they
are expected to perform. In some
Jinds of service the solid is now and
orobably wil remain the best equip
ment. In others there is 'no question
about the advantages of pneumatics.
The pneumatic is being adapted to
many uses that formerly were thought

The Automobile Which Men Said Would Have
No Rival, Still Outsells All Other Fine Cars
to beyond it.' Truck manufacturers re
port an increasing demand for trucks
on these tires, all of which indicates
that they are gradually being put to
new uses, many of w hieh were prac
tically unheard of but a few years ago.
There is no question that pneu
matics will work as wonderful a trans
formation of the uses of motor trucks
as the perfection of a suitable track
permitted the locomotive to become
a part of . the appliances of modern
civilization.

Little-Effects
U.S. Nobby Cord
Firing a bullet into a tire to test
its vulnerability is a practice not
often resorted to, because tires are
expensive, yet the United States
Tire company has in its records
proof that a bullet fired into one
of its big Nobby Cord Pneumatic
truck tires at Camp McClellan,
Anniston, Fla., failed to puncture
the tire.
One of the claims made by the
United States Tire company for its ,
big pneumatics is 'that they are
suited for any kind of work over
any kind of ground because of
their ability to resist punctures.
At Camp McClellan one night the
provost guard attempted to arrest
a man for some offense. The man
ran and jumped on a motor truck.
To frighten the fugitive,the guard
fired his pistol. The lead bullet
entered a Nobby Cord Tire and
embedded itself in the thread but
did not pierce the fabric The bul
let remained in the tire for several
months before it removed, badly
flattened.

TECHNICAL EXPERT
SAYS TI IS LIKE
If OF A
First, announcements of the new Hudson Super
Six promised prompt deliveries.
We had arranged a larger production but had
underestimated the force of Hudson prestige.
In the interim between writing the announce
ments and their publication, some four or five
weeks, dealers booked orders faster than we could
produce cars.
Repetition of Each
Previous Year
The Super-Six, from the first, has outsold all
other fine cars. The present situation is but a
repetition of -what has happened each of the past
four years.
Up to the time the present model was offered,
60,000 Super-Sixes were in service. Wa are build
ing 20,000 this year one-third as many as had
been delivered in the previous years.
Why This Demand .
For Hudsons
""' The 'answer is found in any locality in any group
of motorists.
The reliability and endurance Hudsons have
proved in every test and to every owner it a mat
ter of official record and common talk. Read the
records for speed, acceleration and hill climbing
for the past four years. You will find the part the
Super-Six played excells that of any ether stock
car or special car or stock materials and design.
Or observe Hudson performance on any city
street or country highway. Super-Sixes are every
where. They belong to people who demand the
most of their cars. They are the favorite of the
hard, fast drivers and of those who demand com
fort and reliability.
There are more Hudson closed and chauffeur
driven cars than of any other fine grade. They
are the choice of those who want elegance and
distinction.
The service of those 60,000 earlier Super-Sixes
accounts for today's demand.
How to Get a
Hudson Super-Six
Place your order now. Don't delay even if yeii
cant get immediate delivery of the model you
want.
There is a great demand for all good cars.
There never was such a shortage. Eagerness for
prompty delivery has caused many to accept
makes that were not even second choice to Hud
son. Avoid the possibility of disappointment by
ordering your Hudson now. Accept the earliest
delivery you can obtain. Remember that the car
you buy must serve you a long time and that a
slight inconvenience in delivery now will be offset
by the satisfaction your Hudson will give.

That there is a close analogy be
tween an automobile tire and the hu
man body is the statement of one of
the technical experts on the staff of
the United States Tire company. The
carcass of a tire may be compared to
the bones: the thread and side walls
to the skin, while inflation pressure is
to a tire what food is to the body.
When you cut yourself you are care
ful to wash out the injury and to pro
tect it from infection until it healB:
A cut in a tire should be Just as
carefully looked after because neglect
will be followed by "infection" in the
form of sand blisters leading to sep
aration and finally "death" in the form
of a blowout.- - - '
Breaks in the carcass of a tire re
quire the same attention as a broken
bone. The breaks must be repaired
and "splints," in the form of a sec
tional vulcanized inset, applied in order
to reinforce the broken part.
If you did not continually furnish
your body with food to replace that
used up by the digestive processes you
would soon die. A tire requires a cer
tain inflation pressure to enable it to
carry its load. "Digestion," in the
form of a leaky valve, diffusion
through the inner tube, etc., slowly
uses up this pressure and if it is not
continually replaced the tire soon
breaks along the flexing lines and
"dies" through a blowout.
SHIPS AND MORE SHIPS
The Emergency Fleet Corporation is
turning out ships in fine style. Up to
the middle of July It had delivered
1096 vessels totaling 6,068,739 dead
weight tons. It had launched at the
same time 1524 vessels with a dead
weight tonnage of 8,030,288 and had
laid the keels of 2081 vessels with a
deadweight tonnage of 1.1,431.111.
The deliveries for the first six and
a half months almost equal the total
for 1918.
Between the launching of a ship and
its delivery there is a period of nearly
two months.
Shipbuilding on the Great Lakes Is
many men being employed as during
the war.
What the production ofthe Ameri
can's shipyards means may be appre
ciated when it is said that the 2081
vessels whose keels have been laid
represent nearly 60 per cent of the
total tonnage of the merchant marine
of Great Britain before the war.

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Q. The upright that holds my wind
shield in place has broken just where
one of the curtain fasteners . is at
tached. - There doesn't seem to be
enough metal to give a chance for a
Welding job and 1 don't know how to
fix it otherwise. Can you suggest
anything?
A. A good welding concern can fix
the support for you, filling the fastener
hole and adding enough metal to ob
viate another breakage..
Q. In case of a fire under the hood,
ought the gas to be turned off and the
hood then be -removed? How else
can the fire be checked?
A. The gasoline should be turned oft
and then the fire extinguisher should
be turned in the blaze. Try to keep the
engine turning over by meaps of the
starter. This will tend to draw the
flames into the manifoldand cylinders.

Q. Would you advise me to use a
heavier oil in summer than in-winter?
I haven't made made any change and
the engine sems to me to be a little
under lubricated.
A. Yes. The heat tends to thin the
heavier oil and makes it just the right
consistency. Before you put in the
new oil flush the crankcase out with
kerosene. '-, ;
' Q. I have been having trouble in
starting my car, wheih is only a few
weeks old and still tight. The starter
works- O; K., but the motor -doesn't
fire. The mixture is good, I know. ' I
put the starter on for about twenty
seconds, get a good mixture and yet
the engine won't fire. But if I get out
and crank her by hand I get a start
first crack out of the box.
A. Your trouble is due to faulty igni
tion caused by too great a drain on
the battery when you are using the
starter. In cranking by hand you get
enough voltage. You can start by the
starter if the battery is low by quick
ly releasing the starting button or
pedal, so that for an instant the engine
is turning over and the starter is not
in use. To test this the next time you
have trouble substitute for your own
a battery that you are certain is up to
charge.

POISON TAKEN FROM VACCINES
(London Mail, Continental Edition) '
A new method of preparing vaccines
is described in the Lancet by Capt.
David Thomson and Capt. David Lees,
which, the writers think, may result in
the complete mastery of infectious
diseases.
The discovery that hag been made' is
that a vaccine can be detoxicated
"With the discovery of the 'detoxica-
tion' (removal of the poison)," says
Doctor Thomsow "I have been abjf,
to inject without toxic symptoms doses
greater than was ever dared before,
with the result that a much greater
amount of immunity is developed."
Doctor Thpmson believes that a few
doses of a compound detoxicafed vac
cine given in October- and again in
January will- Hfford considerable pro
tection from influenza.
