One instance, for example, result- ed in an ultimatum in a certain city that all cars originally using 31x4 tires and changed to 32x4%, must have their speedometers cor- rected because, officials declared, when the owner believed himself to be driving at 25 miles per hour he would actually be going 29 or 30. THEORY FALSE, Is CLAIM The fallacy of this line of reason- ing is pointed out by engineers of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., who state that with a single over- size tire, in the size mentioned, and fully Inflated, an increase of speed of but % per cent would re- sult. So the car would be traveling 25% miles instead of 29, because the inctease in the tire's diameter is but slight, Moreover, the Goodyear experts say that few oversize tires are in- flated to their full capacity, so that the hub center is always closer to the ground and for this reason the full diameter {s not utilized, with the obvious result that the speed ap- Proximates a 2 per cent increase with the maximum 3 per cent.

Without these, the eg timate runs up to 16,700 auto deaths in 1923. The estima is based on re ports from 136 cities containing a third of the country's population, In relation to the increase in automobiles since 1916 the auto death rate dropped one-half hour, for instance, it is sufe to say it is probably traveling 23 miles an hour. ’ BOOK WAGONS ONE RESULT OF TRUCKS A kervice of growing importance to rural residents, which may be attrib- uted directly to the development of the motor truck, is the traveling Ubrary.
