In anticipation of a greatly increased busiriess in 1920 the; new organization, under the direction of Howard H. Hayes, general manager, and E. H.

Unusual difficulties have attended the construction of this camp, as at times the unusual fall of snow has almost completely covered the tents of the con- struction crew. Up to the time winter set in they were using powerful White trucks in the transportation but they have since given way tq six horse. bob- sleds which haul supplies to the hardy é workmen who brave the rigors of win- ter to provide for the comfort and pleasure of the guests of 1920. It is anticipated that the business in Yellowstone will be doubled in 1920 and the camping company is making full preparations for taking care of their in- creased proportion of this traffic. Each year sees the percentage carried by the railroads reduced and those who come in their own cars increased. Many do not camp in Yellowstone but stop at the permanent camps and enjoy the hospitality of this company. * WHICH WHEEL 1S BEST? IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE MATERIAL, SAYS EXPERTS ‘Writing on the subject of automobile wheels in the January issue of MoToR, H. A. Tarantous compares the merits of the wood, wire and disc types and dis- cusses the claims which each has on current popularity. Says the writer: “Strong claims are made for ull types so that the owner of a car or the new buyer is at a loss to know whether the claims of the wood wheel adherents are | right or whether those of the disc or wire are correct. AS a matter of fact, without authoritative -tests.,of wheels that can be properly compared, it is very unfair to say that this or that type is better than the other. Proper com- parison would have to be made not with the best make of one type of wheel and the cheapest, most poorly construct- ed of another, but with the best wheels of each type. \ “The trouble has been that as soon as a type of wheel is introduced a num- ber of makers immediately begin to compete on a price basis, with the re- sult that very poor wheels of that type may be offered for sale. If quality is | to be put into any car part, I know that every one will agree with me that | it should certainly be put into wheels, whether they be of wood, wire or disc pattern., Quality wheels of all three designs are on the market and with them cheap wheels, some of them unfit to be depended on to carry uw human cargo.” Apropos of the individual adyantages of the different types Mr. Taranatous has this to say: “The wooden wheel has given a remarkably good account of itself for many years past. It is lower in price than any of the metal wheels and if made of the proper wood is able to withstand the strains to which it is put on the car; but we must admit that the average wire wheel can take more side strain, * * * The wire wheel is no doubt more elastic and resilient than the wooden wheel and if a demountable rim is not used can be much lighter in weight. * * * Because of the con: headway in Europe, adds considerably the A.
