CORD PNEUMA'I;IC TIRES. e An Experiment of Goodyear Proving Practicable Attention. Plants and Exciting One of the most important develop- ments of the year in the motor trans- portation world has been, without doubt, the use of cord pneumatic tires on heavily laden motor trucks. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, which has a fabric mill at Goodyear, a few months ago developed a cord tire which was carrving loads up to two tons economically, in many kinds of service, but it was not until April of this year that this company launch- 3 into the larger sizes of cord tires s carrying fro: e jor trucks carrying from three to five " At that time a transportation ser- fice was inaugurated between Akron, Dhio, and Boston, returning via Good- rear, in this town, where tons of. tire fabric were put aboard the blg ma- *hines for the run back to Ohio. This service has now been de- reloped to the point where it is caus mg a remarkable amount of atten- Hon in_the motor truck world and the Indicatfbns are that this pioneer ficet »t trucks, which have become familiar Jights to the reople of Danielson and ricinity, are to work a revolution in ‘he tire equipment methods for heavy iervice vehicles. The largest of hese freighting trucks have pneuma- 4o tires, on the rear wheels, that are I8 by 12 inches, the front tires being 0 by 8 inch pneumatic. These tires are of the same design is the cord tires for touring cars, ex- A. F.

Sore Arm Week for Camp Devens Men Letters from Putnam boys who are at Camp Devens, indicate that they are now well started on their training period and that they are getting daily drills and bayonet exercises. Not all of the men have as yet been equipped with uniforms, but they will be issited, it is stated, within a few days. It is indicated that there may be a few dis charges of men from this district on account of physical deficiency, but not many. Many of the men from this city and surrounding towns have been vaccinated and inoculated against ty- phoid fever and these are “enjoying’ sore arms. ‘There are recurring reports that some l cept that they contain more plies of cords and proportionately increased amounts of rubber. They permit noiseless operation of ‘he trucks, ex- cest for the engine exhaust, anr pre- vent any damage to roads. Without them the monster trucks being sent here from Akron would soon rattle themselves to pleces. The larger tread surfaces of the tires distributes the weight of the vseight of the truck and load in such a manner as to_cause no damage to road surface. - It is not the weight of the load that breaks up and pul- verizes a pavement, it is claimed, but the continual pounding of wheels, with tires that do not contain proper cush- ioning power. It is learned here that the govern- ment hay become interested in the siant pneumatic tires for trucks and is conducting exhaustive tests of them on hard service. Thousands of truck owners who have geen the Akron- Goodyear fleet plying between this fown and the Ohio city have mailed inquiries about such tires to the Good- year Tire and Rubber Company and jabout their fleet of freighters, indicat- ing that there iz being born in_the minds of many ideas for overland freight services. Such development in truck service will mean growth at Akron and attendant growth at Goodyear, which will mean a great deal to all at Killingly.. SUES AMES ESTATE. tta M.

Label Law Bothers Liguor Dealers. The government regualtions under which local liquor dealers are work- ing in an endeavor to label their stocks of liquor as required by the terms of the war revenue bill are proving a headache-giving puzzle to most of the dealers, and sore of them are quoted as saying that a man would have to be a chemist to meet in an absolutely correct manner all the re- quirements of the law. Thousands of labels have been ordered by the deal- ers and they have been hard at work writing them out to suit the particu- lar containers which they are to be affixed, this belng an exceedingly te- dious job.

"The mush is made by using four times as much water as meal, and allowing one teaspoon salt for each cup of meal. Mix the ingre- dients together, heat to the boiling point, and cook slowly over hot water for three hours, or in a fireless cooker 5 1-2 to 6 hours. Cornmeal Mush Itallan Style _ Cook the mush, put a layer in" a baking dish, then a layer of cheese, then a layer of sliced tomatoes or canned tomatoes after draining off the liquld. Repeat until the dish is full, having a thin layer of cheese on top. Bake in a moderate oven about 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and slightly brown.

Now that the allies are making pre- paration for the coming cold season, the calls to aid the Red Cross, this fund and others, are numerous, as the conditions throughout the cold season 'are critical in many cases. Sufficient clothing, food and- equipment have to be furnished that the fighting forces can accomplish their best work.

The local order has forwarded, since its organ- ization, an amount exceeding fifteen hundred dollars to the headquarters in New York, helping them to provide ‘home comforts for the soldiers. Much more help is needed and if the loyal people will cooperate in giving weekly donations they will benefit the forces fighting for democracy. No Wage Advance Announced.
