MOTHERS INTERESTED IN
HIGHWAY ESSAY CONTEST
AUTO TIR-ES ARE
IMPROVING IN QUALITY
iOne of the noteworthy features re
garding the manufacture of automo
bile tires in this country is the fact
that during tho last five years tires
have improved so greatly In quality
that the average number of tires
used on an automobile during a year
has dropped from five lo considerably
under four.
This drop lias come, too, In the face
of an increase in winter driving so
large as to be a vital element in the
calculation. Many curs now opera. e
twelve months In the year but in splie
of this increased period of service,
Hie average annual consumption of
tires per cur has steadily fallen.
With the return to normal limes
and wilh money less plentiful, cat
owners are certain to watch their ex
pense bills more closely. The exer
cise of only moderate degree of care
by tho car owners will lift the aver
age mileage secured from tires to a
point many thousands of miles above
any hitherto reached.
So far as known, Hie best record
over made on a set of four tires was
that of a Boston merchant who gol
