THE OMAHA 1 SUNDAY BEE : JULY 20, 1919. v MOST MOTORISTS DONOTKNOWIIOW TIRES ARE MADE Fisk Motor Co. Explains to Consumer the; Making and Advantages of Cord ; - . ' Tires. ' ; Too many motorists even among thost who profess to know N, . ' by first name every working part -. ' of their car the ." construction of tires is "wholly unknown. This is particularly true regarding cord tires. ' It is not) uncommon to find a full fledged "motor bug' who in sists on having cord tires because T they ride easier and last longer," yet he hasn't the slightest .concep tion of what constitutes the differ ence between a cord tire and a fab ric. , The Fisk Rubber Gf. of Chicopee Falls, Mass4 makers of Fisk cord tires, are authority for the follow- ing definition of the cord principle. "The cord tire is a comparatively new departure in tire manufacture. It follows upon years of experience in the making of fabric tires, during V which time careful scientific study was given to the most trivial detail of tire construction. The effect of ' s speeds, loads, traction surfaces, heat of friction and the composition of materials all figured into the de velopment of the present day tire. ' "Out of -all this comes the cord x principle which is an even greater - step forward than was the invention of the first pneumatic tire. 4 "Fisk cord tires are made up of layer on layer of parallel diagonal cords, each layer alternating in di rection. But before the carcass is " built up, each layer is treated with " a preparation of gum rubber suffi 1 cient in quantity and properly com pounded to make a soft pliable cush ion of rubber between each layer of cords when the completed casing is finally vulcanized. "In this manner the working parts v-those parts' that do the real work of protecting the - tube are built. The parallel cords, thirty to the inch, flex and yield as each point of the circumference beays the load. Thev cords tighten ana slacken as called upon and prove as elastic and yieldas readily as rubber itself. , ; This property keeps friction heat down to the minimum, imparts , longer life to the rubber, to the cords themselves and to the whole ? casing. That is the open secret of whipcord tires yield greater mile f;.. -age, .: ! i "At the same time this free flex ; ;. ing and yielding means greater rid ing comfort, becausf the jar and r AA shock of thej road are absorbed in thte tire itself, not transmitted through tire to tHp car springs and ' . upward. : ' "It's all in the principle, combined, of course, with correct manufactur- n practice. , All of these factors : , are carefully worked out in the mak j j of the Fisk cord tire to the ex " t that mileages about 10.000 are -.lib the" Reneral " rule, with 15,000 and 1 .,! i 20,000 miles not at all uncommon. ; Eat Yeast, Stop H. 0. of L.

Mexico City, July 19. (By the Associated Press.) Although the presidential election in Mexico is not scheduled to be held until July of next year, political alignments are taking form., The newspaper, txceisior, in -a recent issue, reviewing the political situation, declared that a canvass of the governors of the various states showed these cnieis to nave tne tpi- lowing preferences: Ten for Gen. Alvaro Obregon, five for Gen. Pablo Gonzales, one for Luis Cabrera, sec retary of the treasury? : one for Aguirre Berlanga, secretary of the interior: one for a" civilian candidate as yet unnamed, and seven undecid- V -: The new Lord Lister hospital toi be built on the northeast corner of Twenty-sixth street and Dewey ave nue when completed will be the most modern hospital in the city. It is to be 106 by 108 on the ground and six stories and basement m height. It will be owned by the Lord Lister Hospital company. The staff will be headed by Dr. E. C. Henry and will be , composed of prominent physicians and surgeons. The building wifl comprise all of the departments of a modern gen eral hospital, including an elaborate and costlv surgical department, which will be located on the sixth or top f'.oor. There will be two gen eral operating rooms, an eye, ear, nose and throat operating room, an emergency operating room and a special operating room. A departure from the present white operating room is to be made by using green as the predominating color for the floor" and walls of the room. This color scheme has been adapted by the foremost surgeons of the east and has proved very successful. The hospital will have a capacity of 140 beds, most of which will be in private rooms. The obstetric de partment is to be featured. The nursery will have a sun porch on the east. There will be a free dispensary located on the first floor with a private entrance. In connection with the dispensary there will be a Babies' Welfare department This will also be free to the public. The ambulance entrance is on the first story and is so located that an emergency case can be taken im mediately to X-ray room or to an emergency operating or dressing room. 'The Lin wood apartments, which adjoin the building on the east, has been purchased and will be remod elled for a nurses' home, and will be connected to the hospital building with a bridge. Motor Industry Grew to Its Present Size in 25 Years One of Principal Motor Car Manufacturing Firms, Hudson Motor Co., Now Employs 5,000 People and Has Plant Covering 26 Acres. ' s ' With more than 6.000.000 automo biles officially listed in the UnitedVj States, it is difficult to believe that as recently as 1893 a "new-fangled contraption" covered its first mile without the aid of horse power, al though greeted with more or less derision, or that a circus, oSly a few short years ago, actually exhibited a horseless, vehicle as a curiosity. In the few years 3ihce that time the manufacture of automobiles has become the nation's third largest in dustry, employing nearly a .tfiillion workers, whose yearly wages amount to more than $747,000,000. The total capital "-invested is esti mated at more than $1,500,000,000. . "The phenomenal growth of the industry is graphically illustrated by the tremendous expansion of the Hudson Motor Car Co., which is just observing its 10th anniversary," said Guy L. Smith today. '"The first Hudson was built just 10 years ago in a little two-story plant employ ing less than 500 men. Although the company was incorporated in Feb ruary, 1909, the first car was not shipped until July 3 of that year. Today the Hudsori factory cov er 26 acres of eround. The num ber of its employes has increased steadily, until now there are nearly 5,000 persons on its payrolls. The manufacturing space occupied totals more than 1,000,000- square, feet affd is being enlarged constantly. It is the largest factory, in the world de voted exclusively tfo the production of fine automobiles. ; - "The year of its birth the factory shipped 1,100 cars, valued at less than $1,000,000. This year its vol ume of production is valued at more than $56,000,000. The first year the floor space occupied totaled scarcely 80,000 square feet. Today you may walk for more than five, miles with in the plant and never see the same thing twice. Vt x "During these 10 years the steady increase in production, the never sat isfied demand for Hudson cars has resulted in the constant enlarge ment of facilities which now pro vide for micrometer accuracy in every one of the 10,000 operations necessary ir building Hudson cars. Completely equipped chemical and metallurgical laboratories are main tained in the factory to make sure that only the very highest grade of material is used.

A res taurant provides food-for 2.000 em ployes at cost every noon' hour. Each day it dispenses 600 pounds of meat, 90 loaves of bread, 200 home baked pies, six bushels of po- tatoes, ouu pints oi mux, gaiions of coffee besides many other things. "In connection with the restaurant there is a refrigerating plant and butchering shop. All meats are purchased whole, the butchering beinsr done. on the premises. Also there is a model laundry that washes every day 100 pounds of wiping rags, four dozen-white coats and dresses worn bv different employes, 500 towels and 3000 napkins.

These' varied selections give, some hint, at least, as to what men are being considered for the honor. '( General Obregon at present is not in active army service, being engaged in private business in Son ora. General Gonzales is at the head of government forces 4n the state of Oaxaca, following his pacif ication of -the state of Morelos, cul minating in the death ; of Zapata. He has not openly pronounced him self a candidate, but has issued sev eral letters in which he challenged statements credited to1 General Ob regon, and in one , asked the latter to sign a pact with him that, in any event, the decision at the polls would be final;' General Obregon as yet has not replied It is rumored in the capital that several generals now in the field have presidential ambitions. El Heraldo de Mexico, a new comer itv the journalistic field here, is attempting to unite the various factions in Mexico into one polit ical party which, agreeing in mat ters of governmental policy, shall determine upon a candidate and elect him. To date ndne of the leading news papers of the capital has publicly pledged its support to any avowed or potential candidate. The Bee Want Ads Are the Best Business Boosters. WANT DISABLED YANKS TO LEARN JEWELERS! TRADE Thousands of . Openings in Plants, Government Report Says; Manufacturers Fail - to Fill Orders. Disabled soldiers .who are either skilled jeweler or who are willing to go through a course of appren ticeship in order to learn jewelry manufacturing are in great demand in all the jewelry centers of the United States, particularly in Rhode Island, it is announced by tne War department through Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war and in charge of the campaign for the re-employment of ex-service men. The editor of a leading trade jour nal devoted to the interests of the manufacturing jewelers reports thaw the labor situation in the jewelry trade as very acute. Manufacturers re said to be at their wits' end to keep anywhere within hailing dis tance of filling their orders. In fact, ; some manufacturers are bidding against their competitors, hiring their men away from them at great-" ly advanced wages. Every opportunity is offered ex service men, whether disabled or not, to become liberal wage earn ers at as early a date as possible, without reference to apprenticeship limitations. Men who have lost either a leg or a foot can easily be- ; come bench hands or stone cutters. Men whose health has been injured by gas or otherwise, can find em ployment in the jewelry manufac turing industry under excellent sani tary conditions. " Several reasons are assigned by members of the jewelry trade for the present labor shortage.' In the first place, there has hfen noap prenticeship system in vogue in the jewelry business in many years. Sec dnrily, there ha been a general de pendence upon immigration to sup ply labor for, the cheaper - and rougher process. Immigration has been stopped and there is therefore a decided shortage of skilled jewel ers and a small shortage of unskilled labor. ) . The New An Aristocrat from Hub to Hub Special Traffic Cops The 40 spe cial traffic cops, appointed by Chief Eberstein. from among the club members, are reporting daily .of the good work of educating the public in a full knowledge of traffic laws. This move is found to be very help ful to the regular city traffic offi cers. All of the special officers were picked from membership of the club, with an idea of securing sterling business men, who have bumped up against hardships in life and will use wisdom and discretion in their efforts to eliminate traffic law violations. t Progressive Move Against Thefts The recent meeting of sheriffs, chiefs of police, and state officials from Nebraska and other neighbor ing states at Lincoln, was the most progressive move made -yet toward curbing car stealing. Mr. Rickards, in charge of the Chicago office and representing 17 of the largest"under writing companies of the country, took particular pains to congratu late Nebraska on this step. "SJieriffs -can supply a great deal of information which they may not believe important at the time," states Gus Hyers, who was' instrumental in calling the large meeting. "We in tend to keep a strict card index of all information received. If every citizen of Nebraska who wants to see the law enforced will take the time to write us of any suspicious act of a motoist, such as garaging a car in an unused barn, etc., itywill often give us a valuable clue." Sheriffs, both in Nebraska and other states, are advised to get in touch with Gus Hyers, state capitol, Lincoln, on this movement , 200 Miles Hard Roads for Ne braska A well-informed official of a , highways industry association stated recently thatyfrom reports he has received and from the en-J thusiasm noted in Ins speaking dates in the different communities over the state, that Nebraska will have close to 200 miles of concrete and brick roads in two years' tjme. Con crete is favored . in many eastern states, half again as much mileage being laid for the price of brick. Nebraska Road Building A glance Lat statistics shows that Nebraska compares favorably witn. otner states in building 'roads. For June, Iowa submitted projects with esti mated cost of $2,494,787; Missouri, $2,409,571, and Nebraska, $5,070,240. "Grading is now going on all over the state," reports State Engineer George E. Johnson. Tow Line Hpok.
