TIRES FOR ARMY |
5. Companies Making Them; Even the Crawlers Now Go 45 M. P. H.

"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.
