Cut In Internal Heat Goodyear Achievement "Do you know the story of how Goodyear engineers have made a reduction of from 40 to 33 per cent in the internal heat generated in Goodyear tires," asks H. E. Blythe, factory superintendent of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company of California. "Everybody knows that any automobile tire, as it rolls along, generates internal heat, which has a high destructive tendency inside the car." For years since Goodyear began building cord tires back in 1923, the Goodyear engineers endeavored to devise some means of overcoming this internal heat—and now Goodyear patented group ply construction is the result of their labor. "Originally, in tire building, the pipes of cord fabric were cut on the bias and additional strength was sought by having the alternate pipes run in opposite directions. But the friction between the pipes caused heat to be generated and threatened ply separation." Finally after a long period of experimentation, they hit upon the idea of running the pipes of cord fabric in groups. This means that in a six-ply tire, two layers of fabric would be laid down with the cords running in one direction and then two layers with the cords running in the opposite direction. Then one more layer with the cords running in the first direction and the other layer with the cords running in the other direction. "This gave three points of contact between the plies as against five points of contact in the old method. In other words, it reduced the heating tendency 40 per cent. "The value of this construction principle is not merely an engineering theory, but has been proved by thousands of vulcanizers all over the country. Until the Goodyear engineers evolved the new principle of cord tire construction, vulcanizers were generally agreed that any cord tire that had traveled six or eight thousand miles was beyond repair, even tho the carcass looked good from outside. When cut into, the carcass revealed the evidence of heating-up process that had been going on during its service, and the rubber had become so weakened and burned out that it was not worth a repair. However, they found out that a Goodyear Cord Tire, built by the Group Ply method, even tho it had gone 12,000 or 15,000 miles did not show this evidence of internal heat. The rubber was still live and strong and a satisfactory repair could be made." OAKLAND COUPE ON RECORD TRIP By way of diversion, Thos. E.

Rickett and his party in an Oakland coupe made the transcontinental trip from New York to Los Angeles over the Yellowstone Trail, Columbia River Highway and the Pacific Coast Highway to California. This little diversion served as the means of again increasing the population of Southern California, due to the fact that Rickettts accidently rode into Glendale and likes the place so well that he decided to make it his home for the rest of his life and set about immediately to pursue the purpose he had in mind to take up selling Oaklands. In relating incidents of his long trip to Harry L. Turton, Anaheim Oakland dealer, Rickettts declared, "We took four days to make the run from New York by way of Philadelphia to Chicago and the roads were wonderfully good. "We followed the Pacific highway to San Francisco and the going was tough in spots. Near Grants Pass the detours are enough to wreck a car, and anyone who boasts of California's wonderful roads should see what northern motorists have to contend with. The coast road from San Francisco to Los Angeels is of course a wonder and as smooth as glass for the entire 440 miles. "We used 323 1-2 gallons of gasoline and eight quarts of oil in our travels which means an average of 18.15 miles on a gallon of gasoline. This is good mileage on such a trip. Three times we pulled cars out of the mud." NEW ROAD TO FULLERTON? The project of extending Harvard avenue in Fullerton so as to connect with North Lemon street, Anaheim, will be discussed at a proposed meeting of committees of the chambers of commerce of the two cities. The two cities do not adjoin and the Board of Supervisors will be asked to pave the intervening piece of highway. Airial service for passengers is in operation between Mexico City and Tagico. Fed by springs, and running thru the town into basins at frequent intervals in every street, is the curious water supply for every purpose except drinking in Cullompton, England. $1000 LOTS IN ALTA VISTA PLACE STORAGE BATTERIES Willard $1000 LOTS IN ALTA VISTA PLACE Uniformity in NORWALK TIRES ON the success of tires you buy from us depends our future prospects of selling you again.

NEW ROAD OVER SIERRAS IS NEAR Every auto owner who is a "hound" for the development of new roads through the mountains anywhere between San Luis Obispo county and the Mexican border, will be glad to learn that actual steps have been taken toward the opening of the High Sierras between the Owens River Valley and the —San Joaquin Valley. According to an announcement made by the Auto Club of So. Cal., there is every likelihood that So. Cal. will have its own auto road near the summit of the Sierras in the near future. At the present time there is no road passing through this mountain wonderland between the Tioga Pass road on the north and the Walker Pass road on the south. This mountain playground is penetrated only by forest trails. Engineers of the Auto club, together with representatives of various chambers of commerce and the supervisors of Inyo and Mono counties have just concluded an investigation as to the feasibility of such a road to connect Lone Pine with Camp Nelson, covering a distance of about 72 miles. Due to the rapid increase of population in California, and particularly the southern part of California, the demand for the opening up of this national forest for recreational purposes is becoming more and more insistent this year, say club officials. It is felt that every motorist who loves to tour through the mountains will heartily support the public-spirited move now on the way to give the state another national park highway. SHOPPING MOTORISTS CAUSING BLOCKADES Traffic blockades are occurring on highways in the southern part of the state because motorists stop on the roads to buy vegetables and flowers from small wayside stands. An official investigation of this condition has been conducted by the Auto Club of So. Cal. The officials of this organization declare that the situation is becoming serious. The new Motor Vehicle Act which goes into effect Sept. 1 provides that no driver shall allow his vehicle to stand on a travelled highway outside of any business section where it is possible to move it off the road. He cannot park his car on the highway at all unless there is 15 feet of clearance on the other side of it. KID COOLIDGE IS NOT MUCH EXCITED WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 — Found! The one person in America who doesn't give a boot who's President. A kid who would rather pick tobacco for $2 a day than live in the White House—Calvin Coolidge, Jr., son of the President. Cal wrote his mother yesterday and his scribbled missive, whose contents are revealed exclusively by International News Service today, promises to go down in history as an expression of young America's democracy. It is the first letter Mrs. Coolidge has received from their son since she and the Presidente came to Washington. When they left Plymouth, Va., in the cold, grey dawn, young Calvin was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. "Good-bye, mother; good-bye, pa," he said, and that was all. Now he has written them and his letter contains not a word of congratulations for his father. Not a mention of the great honor that has fallen to the Coolidges. Not a word of coming to Washington. Not a jubilant phrase, nor a bit of enthusiasm. Cal only tells his mother of his tobacco job, of the "fine people" for whom he is working. He talks of his bicycle and the heat; and the money he's earning—$3 a day. There are only five words for the President of the republic—"Give my love to dad." The great honor accorded his father found no echo in the son's first letter. "I've a desirable job," he writes, "picking tobacco at $3 a day." Cal's father earns $75,000 a year, plus an extra $25,000 for expenses. But young Cal, a "millionaire" on $18 a week, scorns financial assistance from the President. He doesn't even make a plea for a bigger allowance. It was raining when he wrote so he didn't have to work; he said. Other days he is up at dawn, pedaling away on the bicycle that carries him to work. From sunrise until dusk he stoops to his task. Then he pedals home to bed. "Ed Baker and I took our bicycles," and went job-hunting." They landed with Dickerman & Day in Hatfield, Mass. "They're fine people," Cal tells his mother, "and I like working for them." "All the boys are at home except Richard Brown, and he's away at summer school." (Richard is the son of the Coolidges family physician at Northampton.) Cal's letter was brief.

WIDOW RETURNS TO EMPTY WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—The special train bringing Mrs. Florence King Harding back to an empty White House, reached the capital at 9:20 a.m. today. Mrs. Harding was driven directly from the station to the executive mansion. She was accompanied by Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, white house physician, George B. Christian, Jr., former secretary to the late President Harding and a dozen personal friends. BELIEVE RADICALS CAUSED EXPLOSION SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.—What police believed to be a demonstration of radicals, an investigation was under way today to determine the cause of an explosion of a quantity dynamite, which imperilled the lives of nine men and damaged lumber, the property of the Pacific Box company, to the extent of hundreds of dollars. J. C. Stewart, foreman of the box company, and eight men were stacking lumber near the scene of the explosion. They escaped injury, but were severely jarred by the conclusion. George McBride, manager of the lumber yard, said that only a small portion of the force was at work, out of respect to President Harding, and had the full force been engaged, loss of life would have been probable. PADILLO QUIZZED AT SACRAMENTO Fortunate Padilla, who confessed to having set afire about a dozen packing houses in Anaheim, Puller-ton, San Bernardino and Riverside is in Sacramento today where he will appear before the grand jury in an investigation of fires there. Padilla escaped from his pajamas from the county hospital where he was to undergo an operation, but was picked up in the Mexican colony of Santa Ana. The Sacramiento investigation relates to the burning of a Japanese home several months ago, when several perished.
