THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON, SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 12, 1928 ft r - CHANDLER CALLS FJEW AUTO iTROPOUTl Custom Design Body, Strik ing Colors All Featured In New Creation NEW TUBE REDUCES UNDER-INFLATION "One of CbaDdler's newest pre sentations on the Big Six chassis, and one which ia destined to win Interest on the part of the mo toring public, la ('handler's new Metropolitan Sedan." states Mr. MarDonald, local Cbandkr dis tributor. At the various automobile fhos which have taken place throughout the United States and Canada, this new model has won enthusiastic acceptance and bid fair to be one of Chandler's most popular creations.

All too frequently accidents and injuries due to this condition are recorded. The situation is being corrected as rapidly as no- Correct inflation contributes more to increased tire mileage than any other single factor. When the proper pressure is distantly maintained the air in the tire actually supports the load while the tire acts as a container for the air and performs its func tion without abnormal strain. Lack of pressure throws the weight on the side walls causing the tire to bend and strain re- ulting in breaks, cracks and cord epa rat ion. An under-inflated tire is sub jected to so much extra flexing as t passes over the road surface that it actually heats the tire mori than if it wero at normal pres sure. The heit and added strain shorten the life of the rubber, fabric and cords in the tire. Under-inflated tires are subject to cord breaks more readily than tires carrying correct air pressure. A sharp blow may easily cush the sidewall3 or tread against the rim causing a break or bruise. Road conditious that are encountered in everyday driving-traffic but tons. curb3, car tracks and broken pavement all add to the necessity of keeping the tires properly in flated. An inner tube has been recent ly introduced through the West ern Auto Supply company stores which Is said to eliminate under inflation to a marked degree. Ac cording to local manager Willis Clarke this new tube is composed of pure gum rubber and being free from compounds is practi cally non-porus and will relain original air pressure for a long I period of time. "The Poison tube shows re markable ability In cushioning the sharp blows that would ordinarily break the corda or fabric and ab sorgs the shock without any dam age to the tire. The heavy inner crescent of highly compressed rara rubber distributes the force of the blow over a wide area thereby preventing cord breaks and ruptures. "In a recent service test," says Mr. Clarke, "in which two tires were used, one equipped with a Tolson tube and the other with an ordinary, good quality tube, it was found that the casing equip ped with the Poison equipment delivered approximately 3 0 per cent more mileage. By maintain ing correct air pressure and pad ding the tread with pure gum rubber, the life of the casing wa: greatly increased." up-to-the-minute motor cars re-ness of fit under the calves is quires attention to almost infinite likewise noted.

Mr. .Franklin points to a study tf accidents m:;de recently in the .vest wherein it was proved the greatest number occurred on long, -traight stretches rather than on curves or crossings, proving the jorrectnesa of the growing belief '.hat high speed spurts for short listances over straight roads are nore hazardous than high average peeds maintained mile after mile. "Most manufacturers are begin ning to recognize this trend." Mr. Franklin stated, "and are begin ning to construct their cars with the thought of an easy 60-mlIe-an- hour performance and a roadabil ity and reserve power permitting a' high average speed even under un favorable road condition. "With greatly increased de pendability in motor cars, the mo torist is taking longer and more trips in his car. Looking far into the future, we can see ribbons of concrete stretching from coast to coast and Interlinking roads that would make motoring easy to all parts of the United State3. Four or five hundred miles per day will be common shortly on these super highways. "Franklin engineers have built toward the present motoring con dition for years. The Franklin airman of today has high speed and fast acceleration. It Is true but alwavs uppermost in our minds has been the thought of making this speed usable over all conditions of road3 with safety and absolute comfort. "We have long advocated fast travel most miles In a day's run and have succeeded in making the Franklin a fast car that can main tain top speeds all day without fa tigue to the car, driver or pas sengers. These features are more and more appreciated as motor lsts use their cars for longer trips and demand that these trips shall leave them fresh enough for busi ness or pleaure at the end of the- day's run." The force of public opinion in tereted In safe and sane driving. Khows a pronounced drift from the craze for tremendous top speeds to a demand for the more practi cal and efficient high average sped or miles per day. according to II. H.
