All v MANY BUILT-I- N CONVENIENCES Device COTTON FABRIC FOUNDATION Elimination of Internal Friation Would Greatly Increase Life of Cover Big Difference Between Cords and Fabrics. To the average owner, an automobile tire is good only when It travels many thousands of miles without breaking (lowii or blowing out. Very few give a thought to Its care, with the exception of Inflating it from time to time, and a still smaller number know what It Is made of. A big tire concern has prepared a treatise on the foundation of one which should be remembered by every motorist. It is as follows: Cotton fabric is the foundation upon which an automobile tire is built. It is used to give stability and n strength. There are two classes of tires the square-wove- n fabric and the cord tire. Cords and Fabrics Differ. In the square-wovefabric tire the threads in each ply run In both directions, alternating over and under as in a piece of ordinary cloth. In the cord tire, the threads or cords In each ply run parallel, with the exception of a few small cross threads, used simply to hold the cords together while they are being impregnated with the rubber well-know- n v compound. The life of a tire would be greatly Increased if internal friction could be The internal friction eliminated. ctiused by Intermittent distortion of the tire in use is theresult of the friction of the threads upon each other atid the strains and stresses set up In the rubber compounds. Naturally the fabric which gives the least room for internal friction will give the longest life to the tire. , fabric cannot Since square-wovebe thoroughly impregnated with rubber at the points where the threads cross, flexing at these points will cause a sawing action and the generating of Internal heat. It lias been demonstrated very clearly by experiment that when the temperature resulting from internal heat reaches 230 degrees, vulcanized rubber ceases to function as an adhesive compound, crumbles into minute particles which fail to resume their original condition, causing the compound to lose its function in the tire. Heat Spoils Rubber. This causes separation, weakness, and finally a blowout. It may be interesting to know that 265 degrees is not an uncommon temperature- - reached in a tire when driven at a high speed over the road ; this is particularly true of large truck tires. In the case of cord . tires, each thread is imbedded in the rubber compound and the internal friction is reA brief sumduced to a minimum. mary of the advantages derived from the use of cord tires would Include easier riding, due to greater resiliency ; saving of gasoline and oil ; saving of machinery, and more mites per -dollar. v n By WILLIAM A.

REMOVAL OF STEERING POST Hardwood Blocks Are Best as They Furnish Good Brace for Jack to Exert Pressure. To remove a steering post without damaging It with a Stillson wrench, clamp two pieces of wood, a surface of each of which has been hollowed out to fit around the post. Hardwood blocks would be best. This furnishes a good brace for a Jack to exert pressure In loosening the piece. Work may be aided by blows on the blocks by a hammer.

Close to home, yet less known to Americans than many parts of Europe, Cape Breton Island, a part of Nova Scotia, is far from being the few acres of snow that Voltaire contemptuously dubbed it in the days when France and England were at each others throats over It. It is barely an island, and for all practical purposes may be considered the easternmost point of Canadas mainland. Perhaps many who have not seen this land think of It as Voltaire did, but it has its fruitful apple orchards and a thriving general agriculture, and growth is remarkably rapid, once vegetation is started. It has, too, all the Ingredients for Industrial success in this Steel Age iron ore, coal and limestone. And, unlike those of the regions of competing North America, Cape Bretons materials are at the waters edge, where the finished product can be handled most cheaply. The ports of Cape Breton are closer to Europe and Africa by hundreds of miles than any others on the North American continent and, surprisingly to those who have not closely studied their maps, the distance from Cape Breton to Rio de Janeiro Is less than that from New Orleans to Rio. A less materlalbut important asset of Cape Breton is Its scenery and climate. Relatively few American tourists have discovered the island yet, but those who have swear by Its charm. Its summers are pleasantly cool and its winters, thanks to the proximity of the Gulf stream, relatively mild. A principal pleasure feature and beauty spot is the islands inland sea, the beautiful Bras dOr lakes, a paradise for yachtsmen. Cape Bretons history is old and full. Undoubtedly her coasts were frequented by Norwegian rovers as early as century, and we even have it on the authority of the Flemish geographers that the Island was discovered and named by Basque fishermen, who crossed the Atlantic In pursuit of whales a hundred years before the voyages of Columbus. John Cabot's Landfall. It is from the voyages of the Cabots, however, that Cape Breton dates her history'? The highland to the north of the island is now generally agreed to have been the landfall of John Cabot the first sighting of North America of which we have record. Peter Martyrs account of the voyage of the younger Cabot In 1498, when the island was claimed In the name of "Kyng Henry, shows that a landing was made on these northern shores at before Columbus touched least upon the mainland of the continent. Standing far out in the Atlantic, the most easterly extremity of the Dominion of Canada, Cape Breton owes much of her colorful history to her geographical position. She reaches out into the tct:an trade lanes, the landfall of d shipping today as in the time of the Cabots. Two centuries ago her commanding position with reference to the trade of the St. Lawrence and the West Indies made Cape Breton an issue in world politics, an issue sometimes disturbing the peace of Europe and upsetting the treaties of the powers. The fortunes of the little Island, now under the red cross of St. George, now under the gold lilies of France, are g part of the continents history the greater part of it a War history. a fortress The story of Louisburg, 25 years in the building, at a cost of six millions of dollars more than four times that sum in the value of our money its two sieges, and iis final demolition, is the chapter of Cape Breton's history. The fortress became not only the base of French naval power In America, but, with outlying posts at St. Peters, Ingonish, and St. Anns, the resort of privateers that infested the New England coast and the haven to which they conveyed their spoils. Upon the outbreak of war between France and England, In 1744, to the colonists of Massachusetts and New Hampshire the reduction of this stronghold was a highly nttractivi project.

Subsequently the Island was restored to France, and again the fortunes of war made it permanently a British possession.

Not until 1784, when the Island became temporarily a separate polony, with its own governor, were grants of land to settlers permitted.

Today It affords easy access to the markets of the Sydneys for the farmers of the Interior, no less than a natural playground for the people of the Industrial centers.
