Inclines . to the .opinion that the tire
nakers are made the subjects of a great
amount of unjust criticism, and declares
that If motorists would spend as much
time studying the proper uss of tires
as they do in howling at the manufac
turer, they would est better results. "
"Many motorists seem to think that
the tire companies would rather see Urea
wear out quickly, so that there will be
resales, said Mr. Vogler, in discussing
the tire question the other day, "On the
contrary. It the tires give long- service

the tire companies figure that there will
be many more automobiles running and
thus their business- will increase. ,
-.' ' Suggestions leads.
Tn order to enable the automobile
owners to obUin best results, the fol
lowing suggestions for the reduction of
tire expense bae been jnaae py ir.
"Always use lartfe-slsed tires.' Buy-
in small ones is poor economy A
small tire cannot do the work of a large
one. Never overload a tire. It's bound
to give way and cost you-more in the
end." 'v-y ... .... v
"Always keen the tires well inflated.
One of. the - first, requirements of the
pneumatic tire is air cheapest thing
about the car and the ear is made to
do its worH on air and a given amount.
This gives you speed, lighter draught,
fewer punctures, and blowouts. A tire
should always be inflated until it stands
up perfectly round at the point of con
tact with the ground when, the machine
" Is loaded. This generally takes about
tn times the cross section of the tire.
For instance, a four-inch tire would re
quire about 71 pounds pressure.
"Repair cuts and holes in tires, 'A
stitch in time saves nine' is a rule that
- applies to tires more so than breeches.
If you don't have them properly and
promptly repaired, the dampness and dlr
soon will work' their way inside and rot
the fabric and then a blowout of course.
. "Keep your tires away from oil.' Oil
soon will soften the1 rubber can't help
it and the tire can't possibly last long.
Never let the oil escaping 'rom the car
in a garage run and stand- about the
tires. Nor let your car stand in oil pud-
. dies on the street. A little more care
of the axles Iff the matter of washers
at the ends or in the use of a heavier
srade of oil will save tire money.
"See that your wheels are running
true. . Wheels that run sq-g'd, or at an
ancle from the car alignment, soon ruin
the tires. There Is a constant "pulling
on the sides of the tire walls and some
thing has got to give way.t. Keep the
steering' rod properly" adjusted. -"Keen

Is very hard on tires. In garages keep

MAGNITUDE OF TRADE
"An Idea of the marvelous growth of
the motor car Industry and its allied
Interests may be gathered from an es
timate of the number of tires that have
been manufactured in this country dur-1 stored,
ing the past five years," says A. J; Win
ters, local agent for the Pennsylvania
Tire company.
i "l figure," says Winters, "that since
the beginning of 107 the tire makers
of America have marketed in the neigh
borhood of 8,000,000 pneumatic tires, the i
yearly output being as follows: 1907,
900.000: 1J0I. 1,060,000; 190. 1.850,000;
110, 1,800.000; 1911. J,00,000; total, 8,-
000,000.
"While 1111. as will be observed from
these figures, proved the biggest year
for tire makers in the history of the in
dustry, there is no question but 1911
will beat It. In fact,, we are looking for
members of congress, and others in pub

New York, Jan. 20. Allesed remarks
made by Benjamin P. Duces, a wealthy
chemical manufacturer, form the basis
of a complaint filed in the supreme
court by his wife, Rachael N. Duces,
to have set ssiUe a separation agree
ment executed in 1908 by which Mrs.
Duces accepted $4000 a year for the
support or herself and 82000 for their
son Robert. Mrs. Duces says that her
husband is worth $1,000,000, has an in
come of $160,000 and that he sent to
her one ot his hired attorneys to advise
her to sign the agreement. . She was
unfamiliar with the laws of this coun
try and accordingly she alleges that the
agreement is inequitable.
From September, 1905. to November.
