AY STAR, WASHIN GTON, D. C. FEBRUARY 26. 1928 -PART 4. THE SUND \ | [ i | i TRENAKERS ST | NEW MARK N 197 i Production, Sales and Profits Make Good Showing for Year. New records wer lishad in 13 by the automobile tire industiy &2 for production and sales of finishe roducts. but also for the profits earned y the major tite manufacturing com- panies. When the year ciosed the pro duction mark for tires totaled aver 6. _ 000,000, & record for the wdustry. Thi output compares with 61.500.000 cas- ings in 1926 and 60.500.900 in 1925, and though below the 70.000.000 mark an- | tictpated carly in the vear, proved a | satisfactory showing for the mdustry in view of the absence from produstian of the largest small car manufacturer during the best part of 1927, A picture of the grow< of the tire | business will be had whea it is l‘ndcb’ stood that in 1921 the indastry™ at of pneumatic tires totaled only 20,- 000,000, which figure was jumped to 41.000.000 in 1922. 10 45,000,000 in 1923 “and 51.500,000 in 1924. Of the 65.000.000 pneumatic tires made last vear, about 55 por cent were of the balloon type. 43 per cent of tne Tegular cord type and about 2 per eent of the old cross-woven fabric tyve. which percentages remain practically the same when consideration i= given s the year | to the type of tires sold durt by the manufacturer. Sales Approximate Output. For the first time in several years. tire | gales by manufacturers in 1927 approx- | imated the number of tires 4 In 1926 and 1 sales each | 59,000,000 un while production was in each instance a million or more units greater. In 1924 sales of 55.000,- 000 exceeded production by more than | 3,000,000 units. A reflection of the tendency for truck and motor bus manufacturers to equip their vehicles with pneumatics s pro- | vided in the decline of solid-cushion ! tire output to 750.000 units i 1927, as | compared with 1.000.000 in 1925. A ve-| duction in the production of inner tubes | also was effected last year, the total| output being estimated at 71,000,000, while in 1926 it was more than T 000.000. 1 It is not expected that the official | figures, when they are reieased, will | show that the value of tires, tubes and | tire sundrics shipped in 1927 will equal | that of the shipments in the previous ' year, due, chiefly, to the record low rices at which tires have peen rell for the past year. In 1976, the statis tics compiled by the rubber association showed that the whoiesale ialue of shipments made by the totaled $866.795.000. and fgr the last! i:ar it is estimated that the total will | in the neighborhood of $802.009, unless the fourth-guarter sa’> decided increase over those of period in 1926. The sales value ol aulomobils tires and tire accessorics shipments n.ade €uring the third quarter of 1927 was sightly less than $13.000.000 more than the value of shipmenis in the previous quarter, but considerabiy less than the total for the same period in :925. With the exception of the first quarter. the value of tire shipments in each period of 1927 .was below that of the similar period in 1926. . The total value of tires and tire sun- drics shippad during the taird quarter was $223.488.000, compar.d with $269.- 317.000 in the third quarter of 1926, These figures represent 92 per cent of the total for the entire industvy. Dur- ing the first nine monihs of 1927 dres and tire sundries to th: vaius of 8$§23.- 035,000 were shipped. as against $683.- 086,000 in the first ninc months of-the Pprevious year.

Thiz stock compares with 84,811 long tons heid at the end of June and with 53883 long tons at the factories and varehouses in | Beptember of 1926. Imports Show Decline. Stocks of crude rubber seported afloat | and destined for American ports on Beptember 20 amounted to 36,006 long tons, compared with 45,169 long tons 8t the end of the second quarter and | 39.815 long tons at th: end of the third | quarter of 1926.

For in- stance, Nebuchadnezzar, King of Baby- lon 604 to 582 B.C. proves to have cen the first to build paved through- fares. Materials now entering into the construction of our highways have been demonstrated to be more than 100,000 years old. Credit for the in- troduction of the modern hard. stone- a Scotch engineer. ancient materials used by Nebuchad- nezzar have been combined with the material and methods used by McAdam nd the modern automobile highway evolved is Another story equally as romantic and instructive. | Nebuchadnezzar built his “procession | street” of asphalt, beginning at the! Tower of Ishtar Gate, and dedicated it | and the memory of Mabopolassar, his | father. An ornament on the wall of | the tower, still existent, represents Si rush, the fantastic companion of t god Marduk. Nearby Nebuchadnezzar | h: aid a tablet in the street pavement h reads: ‘Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, he who made Esaglia and Ezida glovi- ous, son of Nabopolassar. King of Baby- | lon. The streets of Babylon. the pro- | cession street of Nabu and Marduk, my lords, which Nabopolassar, King of Babylon, the father who begot me, has abylon King of 604-582 B.C. Was First Roads Construction will report on their findings in the next issue of Science. This report will tell a dramatic story in which the actors were beasts and birds now extinct, but resembling ex- isting forms and in some cases practi- cally duplicating them. They have found bones of deer, horses, rabbits and skunks. Beasts of prey were represent- ed by three species of the fox-wolf group. There were 15 species of birds, including a kind of wild peacock, & species of duck and a pair of very mod- ern crows. There were 28 specimens of one kind of cagle, 15 of hawks and several of owls, vultures and condor- like birds. Among the latter was one giant, known as Tereatornis, which was at least as large as the modern condors, the largest birds that fly. The usually accepted theory is that herbivorous animals trying to cross the asphalt beds were entangled and killed, and that the predatory auimals and birds, coming to feast on their bodies, were in turn caught. In addition to the animal bones there have been found many pieccs of wood, pine cones and other plant remains. The outstanding trees are two species of pine and two of cypress. Specimens of both of the pines and one of the cypresses ha,e been found embedded in the asphalt. Romantic developments in the con- struction of America’s modern hard- surfaced roads are emphasized when it is realized that matierial from petro- leum identical with the 100,000-year-old road material in the California asphalt beds and others like them in this and made a road glistening with asphalt | and burnt brick: I. the wise suppliant | who fears their lordships, placed above | the bitumen and burnt brick a mighty | superstructure of shining dust. made | them strong within with bitumen and burnt bricks as a high-lying road. !

May I attain cternal age!” | As a cementing medium or mortar asphalt had been used as far back as !the time of the ancient Sumarians, about 2500 B.C. but it remained for | discoverjes recently made in the asphalt beds of Carpenteria, in Santa Barbara | County, Calif,, to disclose that the ma- terial used by the Sumarians and by Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. and now used on the streets and roads of Amer- ica, must have had its origin more than 100.000 years ago, while the eastern part of this country was buried under the great glacial ice sheet. Sealed for ages in these beds of asphalt have been found lately the bones of mastado.: saber-toothed tiger and other mammals that inhabited the United States at, that time. As these bones are brought to light and deposited in the San! Barbara Museum of Natural Histo! studied by a group' of scientists who! South American countries is being util- ized today in the constructicn of as- phalt macadam highways, a type evolved from the original macadam roads of crushed stone originated by John Low- den McAdam, the noted highway engi- neer, born in Ayr, Scotland. in 1756. American macadamized roads origi- nally were named after th> canny old Scot. and th> method of construction now followed !s the same as that which he perfected, except that the stone is now asphalt-bound instead of water- bound to better withstand the present- day motor traffic. Macadam roads were the first hard- surfaced highway In this day and age the term “hard-surfaced roads” in- cludes all the paved types, such as as- phalt macadam. sheet as it, asphaltic concrete, brick, cement and granite blocks. It is our modern hard-surfaced highways that have made possible the great cxpansion of the motor-car in- dustry and the development of the great oil companies, which curiously enough produce from petroleum the fuel for the motor, the lubricants for the parts, the asphalt for the pavement and for the garage roof. the same mate- rial also serving for the glossy black paint, the insulation for the battery and the filler for the tires.

Thomas H. Robinson, de- fining the costs that may be im- posed in automobile law convictions, are being sent to cvery police magistrate in the State, it was announced by E Austin Baughman, commissioner motor vehicles. | The opinion, asked for by Mr. Baugh- man when it was revealed that costs fmposed by different magistrates vared | in great degree, ruled that the State law takes precedence over special local statutes, as well as outlining the proper costs. State Laws Prevail. In preparing the opinion, the attorney | general said the public laws in Alle- ghany, Prince Georges, St. Marys, Caroline and Montgomery Counties, which were cnacted by special legisla- tion, were examined. He held the county laws cannot overrule the State laws, and that imposition of costs for trials in motor-vehicle cases, other than those outlined in the State code, is il-| legal. In the opinion attention is called foj the motor vehicle law which specifically | provides that a motorist, on pleading guilty, shall not be taxed more than 75 cents if his case is heard without : continuance, release in bail, copy of a warrant and entry. an oath, for which a fee of 20 cents is collected. is not necessary when the ac- cused pleads guilty. If the accused pleads not guilty however. the total costs in usual cases ! are $1.45, the law says. Included in these costs is a fee of 50 cents for the arrest by warrant and trial, another 50 cents for judgment where the case contested 20 cents for the oath and ?: cents for entry of judgment in a con- tested case. Refund Is Threatened. The motor vehicle law also provides in unusual cases, & fee of 25 cents for each continuance. 50 cents for each re- lease in bail and 20 cents for cach copy of the warrant and docket entry.

Lengthy spells of wet weather will sometimes cause a group of most annoying nolses, sometimes lasting a day on one pitch and then switching to another. A good general rule to follow is never to go hunting for a body nolse until the weather has changed. An artificlal change, however. may be effected in any kind of weather. One way of bringing this about is to take the car on a long drive if the weather is damp and wet. Fric- tion will dry out some of the joints, while getting the engine and the exhaust pipe thoroughly warmed up will go far toward drying out cer- tain parts of the body. If the car is suffering from too much dryness a good washing is recommended. If the car is an open onc, this can be internal as well as external by removing cushions and floor mats. Many nolses originate in weaving floor boards. caused bv vibration and side stresses. BUSSES AID EDUC:\TION. County Children Carried by Motor to City Schools.

Austin Baughman Ad- vises “Definite Contribu- tion” to Highway Safety. BALTIMORE, February 25 (Special) —Motor car operators can make a defi- | nite contribution to highway safety by | keeping their speed down to a point | where it is “reasonable and proper.” ac- cording to E. Austin Baughman, motor | vehicle commissioner, who declared that | fallure to observe this rule and be- | cause they were unable to stop in time was the cause of many of the accidents in 1927. | “Ppractically 70 per cent of the 1927 accidents were caused primarily by the operation of motor vehicles at unrea- sonable and improper rates of speed ‘o the extent that the operators were un- (able to stop in time to keep out of trouble,” he said. “If we were able to! ! group the sorrowful results of this type | of operation in actuality, the same as they are grouped in the form of figures. |in "accident analysis throughout the | country, we would stand aghast. Sees Sclf-Evident Fact. “It is a self-evident fact in many Of | the accidents that no accident would have occurred if the motor vehicles in- volved had been able to make a full | stop before coming in contact with the | object struck. In view of the fact! that the law definitely requires that every motor vehicle operated on the | public highways shall be under the full control of the operator. the question as to why the vehicles are not stopped in time to prevent accidents becomes of paramount importance. “Close siudy of accident reports clearly shows the fact that in a v majority of cases the motor vehicle in- volved was not under the full control | of the operator. to the extent that when the operator desired to stop or saw the necessity for stopping he was unable to do so in time to prevent the acci- dent. Some Accidents Unavoidable. “There is no question but that theze are some accidents which motor vehicle | aporators are unable to avoid eve! though proceeding at a slow rate peed. where the ebject struck enters the path of the vehicle at such a shost distance ahead that a stop is almost impossible in time to keep out of trou- Front Tire Places Metal in “osition For Rear Puncture ‘Those annoying rear wheel punc- tures, which cause deposits of grease on the shoulders of the motorist who don't possess a long-handled jack, have been the cause of mystification to many who think they are running in a straight line and wonder why the front wheels didn’t get the punc- ture. A tire-test car was run recently over a large plece of an automobile spring to find out why the rear tires were punctured and the front ones were not hurt. As the front tire ran ovar the metal it left it balanced in such nosition as to receive the full driving force of the rear wheel. The spring was driven through the tire and the steel rim of the wheel down to the hub This also accounts for the reason the rear tires will pick up natls and other objects over which the front tires have run, lcaving them a'most ght and in a position to be easily vizked up by the rear rubber. DEALERS WATCH STEP. Ecuador Bars Cigarette Lightors on Cars. Matches and motor cars may have nothing in common to the laym2n. but to onc American automobile manufac- turer they mean something in so far as motor car shipments to Ecuador ar: concerned. In this South American republic the government has just granted a Swedish match concern the sole risht to sell matches in that country. Under this contract matches mean 2nything that produces fire, and therefore electric cigarette lighters come under the gov- ernment ban. Ecuadoran consuls all over the world have been instructed to refuse to certify invoices for automobiles on which cig- arette iighters are standard equipment. while masters of ships calling at ports in this country must place all foreign matches under seal. ble. This type of accident is, however. in the munority. ~In the vast majority of accidents it is casv to establish the fact that the accident occurred because the vehicle or vehicles involved were being operated | at a rate of speed which was unreason able and improper. taking into consid- -ration the traffic and highway cond:- tions at the time and place of the oc- currence.” 'REPORTS NO DEMAND !
