it Is unfortunate that the bruise or fab-
ri- break i> seldom manifested by any
indication on the outside -f the tiro, for
the tough tread rubber stretcher when the
tire strikes the stone or curb* but fib*
ric can only >tret<h a certain limit, and
when taxed'beyond that point will break.
Often only the innermost ply is injured.
t'onseiiuentiy it is good practice to care-
fully examine the inside of your tiros,
for fabric breaks every time they are re-
moved from the rim, <>r have your service
station dealer do it for you whenever be
removes your old tires.
Sometimes a small fabric break that can-
not be found by ordinary examination
causes tube pun*mre. These small breaks
may lie located in this manner: Mark the
position «.f the valve on the casing before
removing the tube, then remove the tube,
place the valve at the mark and measure
with the tube around the tire Thus the
puncture in the tube locates the break in
the fabric.
The best way to avoid stone bruises
Is t.. avoid hitting the stones, the bumps
and the ruts in the roads as much as pos
sible.
(tut there is always the probability that
you may be placed In circumstances that
practically compel you to repair the tire
yourself. For instance, you may be run-
ning without spare tires and far from a
service station; therefore, when the bruise
or the blowout comes a repair is then ne-
cessary.
After a blowout comes, do not run the
tire a foot farther than is necessary, but
immediately put into a temporary repair
or change tires, and as soon as possible
take the injured tire to the vulcanIzer for
a permanent repair.
For an emergency repair on the road
Use a rim cut patch, it should be ap-
plied without cement so that it can be
removed later on under less stressful con-
ditions, and a permanent vulcanized re-
pair made.
If the tire is too old to be worth vul-
canizing a permanent repair can be made
that will allow the tire to» be used many
more miles by using the rim-cut patch and
cementing it in with patching cement.
To do this follow these directions:
First, be sure that the fabric at the break
Is dry, then clean the inside of the tire
thoroughly at the break with gasoline for
a spa-'e slightly larger than the patch,
after it is dry apply two coats of patching
cement, allowing time for each coat to
dry and become tacky. Give the outside
of the patch the same number of coats,
and after this cement is dried insert the
patch by seating the toe of the tire bead
in the crease in the patch wing. Now work
the patch down all the way across the tire,
pressing it down firmly and smoothly, and
then adjust the other bead.
A repair of this nature is often the
means of enabling you to use the tire
immediately -of securing many hundreds
of additional miles, or the tire may be |
carried as » spare.
If in repairing the inside of the easing 1
in the above way, it is noticed that the
trend has also been injured, this, too. i
should be repaired by using tire putty and I
patching cement. Of course, if the tread i
injury is large, it should be repaired by
an expert tire repair man.
HARVARD PREDICTS 1919
WILL PROVE BANNER YEAR
FOR CRIMSON GRID SQUAD
Special Telegram to The Express.
NKW VoHK, Sept. -7. -Harvard is look- !
in>; for a big season in football this year. !
The enthusiasm that has met Coach Bob
Fisher on all side# makes him sanguine '
that he will have no great difficulty in i
rounding out one of those famous Harvard !
teams that have made football history for I
so many years under Percy Ilaughton.
There is a large squad of veterans and
new Mood on hand for the early practice
Sessions that have been under way for
some time.
The elaborate Sargent tests that have
been used for a quarter of a century at
Harvard to determine the fUnen of ath-
letes who desires to compete in Intercol-
legiate sports have been abandoned, it was
announced, for a simple physical examin-
ation. I»r. Itoger I Lee. head of the de-
partment of physical education, will direct
the new examinations.
Vale's football practice season opened
with It. Albert L. Sharpe, director of
athletics at Vale, and his staff consisting
of Cr. Hrides, Billy Bull and Olcott prew-
jnt. They were very well satisfied with
the showing the squad made.
Nearly 100 Candidate*.
The squad numbered nearly 100. The
first drill was in the fundamentals of the
game. According to I)r. Sharpe and his
assistants It. was one of the most satisfac-
tory first day's work that has been held
at Vale in many years. There were more
than fifty linemen and the remainder were
candidates for quarter back were In the
practice.
Brides and Olcott devoted their time to
handling the big bunch of line candidates.
While Sharpe was at work Instructing the
b
Cornell football practice opened on
Schoellkopf Field with fifty-five men in
togs. Light workouts were held and al-
though there was a scarcity of veteran
material, Head Coach "Speedy" Rush and
his assistants, Ray Van orrnan and "C»lb"
Cool, expressed satisfaction with the size
of the Initial turnout and the possibili-
ties of the squad.
The first accident at Pennsylvania oc-
eured when Alex Wrny, renter in 11)17. who
was playing right and for the second
varsity, tackled Captain Bert Bell and was
knocked unconscious He was led to the
gym and soon revived. His head was in-
jured.
Most of the thirty six members of lafit
year's football squad who are now mid-
shipmen reported to Head Coach Ollmour
Dobls at Annapolis and they are having a
long period of practice.
Fifty candidates turned out for practice
at Columbia Fniversity in New York City.
OVERLOADING
tCourtf** of Goodrich Kubber Company.)
Of all possible abuses to solid motor truck tires overloading
is ih* most disastrous. A piece of properly vulcanized rubber
may be com pressed within certain limits and when it is released
will spring back iut«> its original size and shape The first time
it i* compressed beyond its power of resistance, however, the
rubber will break down It is evident, therefore, that solid
tires are destroyed not only by continual overloading but by
overloading them once.
Truck owners »hoibl make sure that their truck is equipped
with tires sufficiently larg»* to take care of tbe greatest load
the truck will be subjected to. There is only one way to
determine the actual weight of a truck that is to run it on
scales, both with and without load, and to find out not only the
weight, but also the weight carried on each axle
Tires with which one pair of wheels is equipped may often
he overloaded while the tires on the other pair are not carrying
their full proportion of the load. Trucks are frequently loaded
so that heavy articles are piled near the tailboard while the
forepart of the body carries little or nothing. In such cases
the rear tires are usually found to be carrying an overload
although the total load is well within the trucks capacity. The
(fame condition is met with when heavy material, such as lumber,
pipe, etc . is allowed to#project over the tailboard and. when
the truck is in motion, to exert a crushing leverage which is
ruinous to th»* tires
There is only one solution to the overload problem and that is
the "ounce of prevention."

A Little Care Adds Gre itly
to the Life of Automobile Tires
It is generally known among motorists
that cord tires are built to withstand a
great deal of wear and tear and even to
take a large measure of undeserved pun
ishment and despite severe use. to de-
liver satisfactory service and mileage. But
Just as a big robust man takes his good
health as a matter of course and grows
oyer confident and careless, cord tire users
ofteu abuse and neglect their tires be-
cause they have been getting such good
results with so little attention to them.
But everything has its limit of endur-
ance and cord tires along with other
things. And while a motorist may misuse
his tires and yet obtain a fairly satisfac-
tory service from them» he obvlousli is not
getting their full quota of iubuilt mile-
age. And in these days when, in the in-
terest of economy and conservation, every
tire should be made to run out its last
possible mile, the motorist who is wasting
a portion of the life of his tires, is uot do-
ing his full duty.
According to <i. F. Brunner, manager of
the Goodyear Tire ami Rubber Company's
service department, fully l(» per cent of the
•jew cord tires that have been sold by
'.hat company's service stations in the last
few months, to replace wornout cords,
have replaced tires that went out of com-
mission prematurely because of improper
•are ami neglect. And almost Invariably
the untimely demise of the tire could be
traced to the lack of proper air pres-
sure.
"Because of the larger nlr capacity in
our cord tires and their greater flexibility
aud more durable construction, we have
advocated Inflation pressures for cord tires
10 per cent lower than for fabric tires,
says Mr. Brunner. "But motorists, en
oiiraged by the good service received,
have been revising our inflation schedule-
downward aud becoming careless about
proper inflation. A recent investigation
whi- h we made, showed that many "r!
tire users w-re carry lug only about half
the recommended air pressure. And yet
the great majority of these motorists were
obtaining what to them was very satisfa«
tory service.
"But in these days when every cubic
foot of shipping space ou our ocean liners
is almost priceless, every pound of rubber
should be made to do its full duty and
every tire should be made to deliver its
full measure of miles. Our cord tires
have a 10 per cent larger air capacity than
the same size in fabric tires, so the fa<
tor of safety in air pressure for cord
tires we place at 1" per cent. And when-
ever a motorist runs his tires at a less
pressure than our recommendation, lie pays
for his greater e.i of riding with a por-
tion of the life of his tire.
"The use of cord tires is Increasing
rapidly and will continue to do so, be
cause of their easy riding qualities and
the increased mileage thev deliver. But
sufficient attention must be paid to the
maintenance of proper i;ir pressure if they
are to be permitted to run out their full
life. The layers of rubber between the
plies of cord are heavy—so heavy that
the tires will hold up under a tremendous
amount of pun,>h• m. m but they haw a
limit, and whenever that limit Is reached
the motorist pays for his experience with
mileage that is lopped off his tires."
SAYS FARMERS TO REALIZE
LAND PRICES ON INCREASE
Cv Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—American farmers
are "struggling to get away from being
$KM) farmers on $100 land." and realize
they must be $500 fanners on $500 land,"
John A. Cavanagh, vice president of the
l»es Moines (Iowa' National Bank, told
the members of the Farm Mortgage Bank-
ers' Association of America at their re-
cent convention here.
While the Increase In the price of farm
lands for the Nation has been 15 to 30 per
cent In the last year, he said the advance
in the Middle West has been from r»o to 100
per cent, and while lie believed the price
of farm products would decline within
the next few years, ho predicted no drop
In the price of farm land for the next
decade.
"With every farm bringing the price now
being paid for it, w> are going to learn
everything that every nation can teach
us," Mr. Cavanagh said. "There Is not
a nation in the world that cannot teach
America something about farming and we
have already begun to learn."
Farming will continue to provide a rea-
sonable return on both capital and labor
invested, he thought.
"Farming will be conducted more seien
tlfleally than ever before, and a new type
of intensive farmer will result from the
decrease In the value of farm products
and the increase in the value in farm
land," was his prediction.
He expects the abnormal demand for
American farm products to end within
two y<%rs. pointing out that surpluses of
food staples have been discovered where
famine conditions were supposed to exist.
With the lessened foreign demand, he
thought would come a decline in prices for
American farm products.
