Brothers at the fair An : the dls- '

ports that the demand : for the
Oakland cars has exceeded the
supply ever since the new model

were priced on that basis. Rubber
for immediate delivery has not
been as low as .") cents since the
middle of May. Rubber for October-December

without much hope of relief.

for tires higher than on the basis
of.;55-cents rubber, because most
of them were, fairly well covered
around this figure and' they be
lieved that the8 highly,,; inflated
crude market would break. They
felt thatv an increase London
stocks of crude rubber and a cur-
silment of tire production would
bring this -about. In fact; tney
were to thoroughly cbnvinced of
this that while rubber was being
quoted between 80 cents and $1-20
no purchasing whatever was done
by manufacturers. It was limited
only to speculators, who Were
largely responsible for the high
market at those figures
"Conditions now do not bear out
the fullest expectations of manufacturers.-
The general feeling
that August, would show a large
curtailment in the manufacture of
rubber goods was disproved when
the August consumption' figures
; were published. London stocks of
crude rubber, instead of increas
ing, as was predicted, showed
very sharp decreases. So that, the
two factors on which hope wap
based for stabilizing the market
reached in exactly the opposite
from a favorable direction." ;
,The General Tire and Rubber
company has always followed a
policy of advising against specula
tion and it has shown in its his
tory the soundness of maintain
ing thispolicy. It has never', ad
vised its dealers to load; up with
heavy stocks, nor has it advised
dealers to load uo their commer
cial, accounts. However, hinder
t present conditions General does
advise tire users, especially com
mercial accounts to keep up regu
lar purchases for current require
ments. General Tire officials feel
that with the present aspect on
the situation tire users can con
sider themselves i fortunate if
manufacturers are able to continue
on present prices. Automobile

A national survey ajijong users
and suppliers of motor cars to
ascertain the advantage of glycer
ine as an antf-freeze substance,
made evident the : general belief
that yellow distilled glycerine is
preferable to other solutions as a
satisfactory anti-freeze compound.
This survey wa conducted by the
National Glycerine service of the
Procter & Gamble company to
investigate scientifically the uses
of glycerine, i
Interesting conditions have been
discovered which reveal the wide
spread necessity for a solution
which will meet the tests which
ensure all-year-round driving in
cold weather. One automobile
club, alone, in the northwest re
ported that 76 per cent of its
members put their cars during
the winter because of there being
no solution available, though some
members were able to make their
own Bolution of glycerine which
' made winter biileage possible for
them.
Garage owners In Scranton and
Rolla, North Dakota, reported that
many customers had obtained
good results in the use of glycer
ine and water, which was found to
be cheaper than other solutions
because of its non-evaporation. F.
E. Oelkers of Scranton states, "In
one Car which covered 2500 miles
from, November 30 to .April 39.
one filling only wras required. The
car was out Hi all kinds of weather
snow, mud and some very cold
weather. I consider it the best
and only safe solution for auto
mobile radiators."
. Motorists have long sought a
radiator compound which would
last "a long; time" or throughout
the entire cold season. Now it is
possible that the familiar scene
of a motorist stopping at a house
alonp the road and begging, water
to fill his radiator because of
evaporation of the solution he is
using, may eventually pass into
history., fiIr?
Some motorists ventured to use
nart distilled glycerine which they
bought at a drug store. They
mixed it with water without any
definite recipe for right quantities
and discovered its real efficiency.
They found that it did not evap
orate, and therefore made all
winter driving possible. These ad
vantage's were also met with the
discovery that one filling would
last throughout the entire cold
srason, making the initial cost the
only cost, with the entire solution
'eft over forthe succeeding season
