TIRES FOR ARMY |

"AKRON, ©, Aug. 16—The Grand §

Army of the Emergency will run round the hemisphere at 60 miles ber hour. Or so I gather from the types of tires Akron is building Tor it, Most of the Akron rubber combanies, and others, are at work on bullet-proof tires. ; They make up a significant and apparently grow-? ing portion of Akron's production these days. Six sizes are being built, up to two feet in wheel diameter. The American Army has been on rubber a long time, first on solid tires, then pneumatics for an increasing quantity of equipment, and now apparently shifting over to the bullet-resisting type for everything in tombat service which does not fun on crawler-type tracks. |

The tube ‘weighs from four to 10! times as much as in the ordinary! tire. The idea appears to have been developed from the puncture-proof passenger tire, on which both Sei-| berling and Firestone were at work early. It consists, in short, of taking the puncture-proofing all around the tire. The number of layers give a clue to the intended speed. “ ! Bullets will still go through the
