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 dry yeast, then, suggests the
Boston Medical and Surgical Jour
nal. - . t
"Dried yeast," says the paper, "has
at least three times the calorific
value of beef of moderate fat con
nt. ' ; ' '
"It Is readily digested and utilized
by the animal organism. After ex
periment upon 32 white rats, the
yeast diet made the rats fatter than
any other diet"

MEXICANS START
POLITICAL DRIVE
FOR JULYOF 1920
Several Generals of Republic

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

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.

army of workers there is a model

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.

the state," reports State Engineer
George E. Johnson.
