“What It Takes to Repair or Retread Your Tire y We've Got It
TTEARST’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA , SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1913.
SAYS GEO. DIEHL
Official Stresses Importance of
Highways in Life of People.
Foreign Instances Cited.
"National road* are a natural re
sult of the modem use of the high
ways brought about by the coming
of the motor-driven vehicle, which
has advanced road travel from Its
former comparatively local charac
ter." declared Chairman George C.
Diehl, of the A. A. A. National Good
Roads Board
"In the consideration of the coun
try-wide work carried on by the A. A.
A. for the million and more motorists
we have given consclerrtlous attention
to every\phase of the subject, and
repeatedly our deductions have taken
us to the gipsr.eral propoFttion that the
United Staten must he provided with
a national roads system connecting
all the States. This subject will be
one of the most Important discussed
at the American Bar Congress In De
troit during the week of September 29
In the apportionment of days the
»mes devoted to national legislation
and the needs of the road users fell
to the A. A. A. as a matter of course,
while the American Highway Associ
ation, of which Director I^ogan Wal
ler Page, of the United States office
of public roads, is president, assumed
the burden of the program concern
ing construction and Inter-related
matters. The body correlates the ef
forts of the general roads organiza
tions of the whole country'.
Lesson to England.
"Marked confirmation of our con
tention that national roads are now
demanded is found In the progress of
events In Great Britain, which now
realizes that it must do what Prance
learned long ago had to be done to
insure roads communication in all
parts of the country.
"A measure was recently Introduced
In the British Parliament by Lord
Helmsley which provides for the tak
ing over as national roads by the
British road board of such roads to
« onnact the different countries with
each other It Is expected that the
bill will become a law at the next
session of Parliament. At present the
roads of Great Britain are divided
Into three classes main road, by
roads and private roads. The new
law will add to these a fourth road,
hitherto unknown in British highway
nomenclature—national roads. These
will be constructed, repaired and
maintained solely at the expense of
the central government.

Tire Inflation
By L. GREF.NWALD,
Manager Service Department of the
Firestone Tire and Rubber Co.
Inflate slowly flt first. There are
a great many views as to the proper
pressure, but it is rulable to inflate
the front tires to a pressure equiva
lent to seventeen or eighteen times
their cross-section and the rear tires
to a pressure equivalent to twenty
times their cross-section; for exam
ple, 34 by 4 tires on front w’heels
should have from 68 to 72 pounds
pressure, while on the rear wheels
the pressure should be about 80
pounds. The tire should round out
pretty well end not flatten under the
weight of car and passengers.
Reinflate the tire occasionally, as
the Inner tubes are permeable. When
the rubber is heated to 80 degree*
or more, 15 or 20 per cent of the pres
sure then is lost.
It is not advisable to innate fne
tires with the exhaust from engine.
OH and certain gashes are destructive
to the rubber.
Remember that your pressure gauge
on pump may not show an accurate
pressure in the tire ow ing to the trio*
tion of the valve inside or plunger.

"The manufacture of automobiles is

W C. Mahoney, Atlanta branch man

“Just think of the strides that the

never been any hesitation on the part
of the manufacturers of motor cars.
They have been on the rush every

seen in any other line of business.
When the demand has not been as groat

Firestone Is Ahead
In Important Races
Victory came again to Firestone
tires at Corona, Cal., September 9,
when Earl Cooper, In a Stutz, won
this contest at a speed of 74 1-2 miles
per hour for 2oft miles. This is the
fifth victory for Firestones since May
80, and Includes all the Important
racing events of the season, namely,
Indianapolis Sweepstakes, May 30;
Paanma-Pacific, road race, July 4;
Montamara Festo races, July f> and 7;
Santa Monica race, August 9, and
Corona race, September 9.
Never before in the history of tlre-
dom has one make of tire captured
such a string of races. Firestone
makes no racing tires, every event
being won on the regular tires that
any motorist gets.

Most Successful Salesmen Will Re

Cars Purchased as Prizes.
Automatic Governor on Willys
Utility Truck Prevents Careless
Drivers Going Too Fast.
If you want speed, invest in a rac
ing car, but if you are in need of
everyday delivery service; do not get
a truck that a careless driver can
rack to pieces in a few weeks. This
is the advice given prospective pur-
chnsers of commercial vehicles by
George W. Bennett, vice president of
the Willys-Overland Company. Mr.
Bennett's firm is manufacturing the
Willys utility three-quarter-ton truck,
which has been designed expressly
for rapid delivery of medium-weight
merchandise.
Careless Drivers a Liability.
The Toledo manufacturer maintains
that overspeeding has been a big fac
tor In promoting a prejudice against
motor vehicles among business men.
He points out the fact that a careless
driver who will speed his truck on
rough streets is a more costly liabil
ity to a merchant than a whole sta
bleful of sick horses.
Such a driver, he claims, will In
flict more wear and tear on a truck
in a week than would ordinarily be
experienced In a month of careful
operation.
Limit of Eighteen Miles.
“We have successfully overcome
the objection of speeding In the Wil
lys utility truck.’ Mr Bennett said.
“We have provided wUh this product
an automatic governor, set and sealed
In the intake pipe. This governor
precludes the possibility of running
the truck at more than eighteen miles
an hour, which our engineers have
shown Is the highest speed such a ve
hicle can be operated at without in
jury over the ordinary city streets
and country roads.
“We are thus assuring our patrons
that, no matter how r careless or ig
norant their drivers may be, their
trucks can not be worn out through
overspeeding.’’
