More Acute ~The next four years will witness a ~ tremendous amount of home build- ing by large industrial corporations, according to a statement issued by S. W. Straus and company, to the effect : : "As the season advances, building conditions throughout the United States are growing more acute, and we cannot hope for complete and permanent economic stabilization until the nation's housing problem has been solved. Not only must there be-ample housing facilities, but home ownership must be given im- mediate and substantial encourage- ment. Speaks of Ownership "In effecting the minimum of labor turnover and in fostering a broad spirit of loyalty, co-operation and contentment among the workers, the industrial corporations of the country will find that the development of home owning practices among their employes will do more practical good than any other expedient. When a man acquires his own home he feels as never before, a sense of respon- sibility in the preservation "of the orderly processes of business, and realizes with keen enthusiasm the stabilizing value of thrift and pru- dent' habits of life. "There 'are many indicasions that' we. arg; coming into ;a inew order. of, life in America, which will, mean radical innovations in industrial fi- nancing. Largé "employers of 'labor will be prompted more and more in their desires to co-operate with em- 'ployes in building homes which shall = be'owned eventually by the workers. |: his mew spirit . will mmanifest itself in 'a tremendous amount of home building in all-itheslarge iindustrial centers of the country, during the en- suing few years: © rein "In harmony with these develop- ments, and in order also to lend all possible' encotifacement "to "thé na- tion's necessary "hnilding program, S. : Straus and company, have arrang.- ed to make loans in fhe form of first mértgage bond issues in amounts of ) Ab - $500,000 'and upward, to reédpotisible, !' firmly established industrial corpora-, tions engaged in the production of essential commodities the proceeds to be devoted to the construction of dwellings for employes. We hope and believe other lending institutions will offer the encouragement of their resources and prestige in advancing "a great national industrial housing movement. It is our opinion that all possible steps should be taken both by extensive employers of labor and 'by financial institutions to the end that there shall be developed as speedily as possible a wide-spread home-building program, which will accomplish more than any other one feature toward the development of thrift, happiness and prosperity among. the American people."

The tire has been placed on the mar. ket after a lohg series of gruelling road tests at the company's truck tire plant at Providence. ; There have been -two chief ob- stacles to the satisfactory use of solids in large sizes, both due to the large mass of rubber necessary to their construction. In travel on solid tires of ordinary types a traction wave is formed in the rubber just ahead of the point where the tire touches the ground. As the tire rolls along the traction wave advances and the heat that is generated through this kneading process results in de- terioration. of the rubber. The second obstacle has been the difficulty of securing perfect vulcan- J 2 The Best Buys tion, water heat, liv- ing-room 14x26, fireplace, 4 master bedrooms and maid's room, 2 baths, double garage, beautifully wooded lot, reduced to $14,800 Near new stucco home, 8 large rooms. spl:rndid lot, con- venient to all transportation, water heat, large living-room, fireplace, glassed sleep and sun porehes, deep wooded lot, owner leaving, will sacrifice. . $15,750 Near new 8-room home in ideal location, hot-water heat, glassed porches, large rooms, finely decorated, half acre lot, excellent bargain. ; $17,000 M.

As a consequence of this difficulty it has not been uncommon to have tires fail because the heart Opposite Village Theatre een ------ of the tire was improperly cured. Various styles of 'tires designed to ed the market. These styles have utilized a groove in some instances and a slot in others, but the results obtained show = that the slot and groove have neither secured an even vulcanization nor eliminated friction. 'As a matter of fact it would appear that the efforts to prevent deteriora- tion because of heat had been applied | more to finding a way to dissipate the heat which is generated ,than to finding a way to eliminate the friction itself. The new tire, known as the Mono- twin, has solved all of these various problems effectively.
