CLEVER DEVICE
HAS BI6 VALUE
Ingenious Arrangement
To Show Tire Mileages
At Factory
Used
A simple but effective method of j
testing tires for adhesion between'many
the tread and breaker strips and also
for adhesion between plies and fabric
is used by The Madson Tire & Rubber
company of Kent, Ohio, in addition to
the usual road tests.
A machine run by electric motor
is equipped with two specially built
steel pulleys over which are mounted
the tires to be tested. The tires re
volve by contact with the pulleys .on
the faces of which are cleats about 1-4
inch high. These cleats are about
. eight inches apart and are set—some
at right angles and other diagonally
in opposite relation. The tires are
run at the rate of twenty miles per
hour over these cleats, a speedometer
being used to regulate this. Each
tire thus receives tremendously pow
erful blows throughout its circumfer
ence, or the periphery of its tread.
These blows correspond to what is
called 'stone bruise," which is the
worst punishment of this character
that is it possible to give a tire.
The machine is run continuously,
day and night, until the tires run
about 5,000 miles. The tires are then
cut open to ascertain the condition of
the various parts. Tt has repeatedly
shown that if a tire will stand this
treatment without any sign of tread
or fabric separation or other injury,
it will go on the, road, without separ
ation, until actually worn out in all
respects. T't shöuW be clearly under
stood that' this treatment is
■sense a test of the wearing quality of
the tread, but is purely for adhesion
as above explained. The grind of
sand, gravel, rock and what not of ac
tual road driving is the only reliable
test of the toughness and wear resist
ing properties of the tread. This is
obtained on test fars by continuous
driving day and night over all kinds
of roads.
Use 700 Pounds Pressure.
The tires revolve on the testing ma
chine each under a pressure of about
700 pounds. This is equivalent to the
average proportionate weight sus
tained by each tire on a car, so that
this testing machine a ppnovimates
very closely actual road conditions as
regards rogd shocks.
This is only one method of many of
the tests employed by the Mason Tire
& Rubber Co. to demonstrate the
quality of its tires and to make sure
beyond question of d,oubt that they
are fully up to the high standard set
for them. Tt is such care that en
ables Mason tires to make records
like that of forty-eight times over rug
ged mountains and twice across a
burning desert in California without
serious injury.

famous detective
IN FICTION—STONE
SEEN IN "VICKY VAN"
Who. that loves a detective story, is
unfamiliar with that famous character
[created by Carolyn Wells, the Ameri
can Sherlock Holmes, and hero of
of her novels—Stone. He will
be seen in the flesh in "Vicky Van."
Paramount's screen version of one of
w , , « • «
Miss Wells latest novels, m which!
beautiful Ethel Clayton is the star,
and which will be shown at the Huree
theatre on Friday and Saturday.
Ethel Clayton will be seen in the
name part, a sort of dual role. She
is in reality Ruth Schuyler wife of a
wealthy man old enough to be her
father. With a legacy of her own,
to escape the hateful monotony of her
married life, she assumes a different
name. "Victoria Van Allen" and dis
guising herself holds weekly bohem
ian parties in an adjoining house she
has purchased. Her husband discov
ers the game and abuses her. He is
later found dead—there enters the
mystery and the detective who solves
the problem frees the young widow
from suspicion.
"Vicky Van" is a modern detective
story will all the attendant thrills of
a narrative of that description. It
will appeal to all who like a romance
with a touch of mystery and much sus
pense. Miss Clayton is ably support
ed by a fine cast and the direction by
Robert G. Vignola, is said to be high
ly artistic.
