Tire Fillers.
Punctures used to mean a lot of
trouble for tire users, but the refine
ments in rims now make quick chang
es possible and this bugaboo no long
er worries the average driver.
Resiliency being a prime require
ment of pneumatic tires, it is hard
to conceive of an improvement on air
for cushion and elasticity. If fil
lers be too soft, the hinging action
of tires willbe localized and not per
mit of strain distribution to suit the
construction. No advantage over
solid tires can be claimed for fillers
unless the fillers are resilient. To
secure the desired flexibility, fillers
are invariably made of pliable ma
terials and being of this nature they
will flatten tinder weight.
Objectionable developments are cir
cumierentiol friction from lack of un
iform filling out of case and fromvdis
placement at road contact, weight and
effect, of centrifugal force, heat and
separation. Rims are caused to sag
and become out of round, also the
clinches may be spread and twisted as j
a result of weight, pinched tubes, and
other annoyances can frequently be
traced to these irregularities. Tire
manufacturers waive the guarantee
and responsibility for tires when a
substitute for air is used. Car man
ufacturers discourage excess weight
to wheels, especially on the driving
wheels this is particularly true with
small cars, the power and rear axle
system not being suitable for moving
an unusual drag.
The Oregon City Auto company has
been seriously handicapped for some
time by the paving operations on Sixth
street which completely closed the en
trance to their garage but Manager
Swock states that he expects to re
sume business in about a week, as
the pavement will soon be ready for
traffic.
The Columbia River highway 'js
now open to traffic from Portland to
the sea. , The workmen employed by
the county to clear the road of its
load of ice have succeeded in opening
a passage through the banks, although
in some places it is only ten feet wide.
While there may be congestion at a
few of J:he forst points, until the
cuts are widened, the . highway is
ready for its normal train of pleasure
seeking motorists. As soon as pos
sible the ice .will be cleared off too
the full width.
From Portland to Mood River the
highway is also ready for one-way
traffic and will be cleared for two
way traffic as soon as the force of 100
men now working can accomplish it.
Tread Attachments, Reliners and In
side Protectors.
An engineer does not depend upon
the strength of materials alone, to
make a safe railroad bridge or build
inf it is necessary that the struc
ture also be designed along the right
principles.
A successful tire must be properly
designed, i. e., the shape suitable for
the size of the section and a correct
balance is an essential thing; the tire
must be strong enough to render good
service but not too thick, heavy or
stiff to prevent distribution of strains
and stand the flexing action in side
walls.
Extra thicknesses and weights add
ed to tires will cause additional heat
and interfere with the radiation. Tread
attachments or covers creep, chafe,
heat and stiffen the tread to such an
extent that fabric breaks are caused
by a localized hinging action in side
walls.
It is not advisable to use re-liners
in new tires because they tend to
flatten the tires similar to under -inflation
and, in many ways, interfere
with the design and intended action.
If made of flexible material and well
constructed, reliners are a good thing
in old tires having separation and
breakers in the fabric, and which
wbuiuliotrwTttiout" rTJIhi'orcemenf.'Bt;
serviceable. Under such cirucmstanc
es, reliners strengthen the tires, pro
tect inner tubes from being pinched
by the fabric and often make it pos
sible to secure a greater mileage.

The New York automobile show for
1922 is now a matter of history. In
the show and out of it there are
something like 130 different makes of
automobiles on the American market,
or about to be placed thereon. In
addition to the four or five new cars
that occupied feature places at the
show, there are some 15 or 20 more
that were not on the list at this time
last year. Scientific American.
A car bumper has been made which
also acts as a car lock. It has the
appearance of the ordinary bumper ex
cept that it has a horn like projector
hanging down from each end which
can be turned back and locked, pre
venting the wheels from being turned
either way and- allowing the car to be
driven only in a straight line.

Prizes Offered for Invention of Fuel
That Shall Be Less Costly
and as Useful. t
The rapid Increase in the use of au
tomobiles, motortrucks and motor
propelled agricultural machinery, to
gether with the 'high cost of gasoline
In France, has brought about much
study of the possible use of other mo
tive fuels which might be manufac
tured from native materials at lower
cost to the consumer than gasoline.
, At the annual meeting of the Agri
cultural society at Beziers, "a commit
tee was authorized to organize a com
petition with a view to discovering a
practical and economical motor fuel
with alcohol as the basis of its com
position. Prizes totaling 200,000
francs have been placed at the dis
position of the committee, of which
amount 100,000 francs will be award
ed to the competitor whose product
gives the best results. The competi
tion will be open from January to
March, 1922.
While the motor fuel sought for is
Intended for consumption in the exist
ing type of motor engines, a product
which could be employed in a modi
fied type of engine will be considered.
Brightening Up a Corner.
The Woman, one chill, stormy day
was forced by the importance of an
errand through a squalid, swarming
section of the city. The street was
narrow and dirty, the people looked
ill fed and ill clothed. Their hope
lessness impressed Itself upon her
morbidly. Everything was drab and
dreary, the weather, the gray, littered
pavement, the sad-colored buildings,
the dull, grimy faces of the crowd that
loitered and bartered on the thorough
fare. Her spirit struggled against de
pression. .
And then she warmed to one little
ray of sunshine in that gloomy chasm.
It was a brass doorknob upon the
sagging door of a dingy entrance. But
It shone with splendid and cheerful
courage. A shining bit of brass is
such a cheerful thing anywhere. It
suggests warm hearthsides and thrifty
homekeepers, comfort' and cleanliness.
Among those surroundings it suggest
ed something more a brave soul who
carried through this valley of poverty
a dauntless heart, an unfailing belief
that cleanliness is godliness. New
York Tribune.
Chemistry Gains in Waste Salvage.
The annual report of the bureau of
chemistry of the Department of Agri
culture tells of the work that has
been done in studying processes used
in industries related to agriculture.
Some of the problems reported upon
are: Making adhesives, cellulose, furr
furai, etc., from corncobs ; manufac
turing starch from potatoes; manu
facturing a palatable sirup from the
sweet potato; utilizing waste oranges
and lemons; improving methods of
tanning and testing leather; manu
facture of rosin and turpentine, and
study of the laws that govern the
chemical reactions employed

Tires on Jinrikishas.
While automobiles are still rare In
China, owing to the lack of proper
motor roads. It is interesting to note
that improvements have been made to
the popular vehicle of the country,
the jinrikisha, and that in the larger
towns and villages it is now equipped
with rubber tires. The common rikisha
is a two-wheeled vehicle drawn by
Chinese coolies and suitable for seat
ing one person. In Tientsin it is es
timated that there are between 10.000
and 12,000 public and 1,000 private
rikishas In use and in Pekin 23,
000 public and 3,000 private rikishas.
