COMPANY RENTS COTTAGE FOR EMPL'S F.t years the Pennsylvania Rubber Company's welfare department has done much toward making the plant's employees happy and contented. This year the usual annual day afield will be held in August. Of greater import. howevr. is the most recent action of the company in renting for the enflre mimmer season a large and beautiful cottage at a wellknown summer resort for the convenience of its women employes. The cottage is located on the bathing beach at Put-in-Roy, in close touch with the varied amusements of this resort.

FILLERS. The police department of The Goodyear Tire 4- Rubber Companv now hat men or hr more than the entire city of Akron. John Kidnev is ln head c-f this unique po'ioe organization. In addition to policing the factories Chief Kidney's men iook after Goodyear Heights a residence section of t..OOO people. W:ngfoo Ljike Air Station where ail the dirigible activities in Akron take p'.ice as well as a rim plant r-perated Ty tne . ompany at Thomastown near Akron. With the approach of warm weathef. motorists are itam beginning to wonder what effect, if any. the hot pavements wii! have on the air pressure in thejr tires. Knowing that air expajids with an increase in the temperature, many mo. torists dcide that they should reduce the pressure in their tiren and therehv make provision for an expansion which might result from the heat. Needless to say. t hs motorists are wrong. The sajne Treasure should he used on the hottest summer day as is used in the dad of winter, when The mercury is hovering around the zero mark. Rxperiments recently made bv- tire experts of the Piajnond Rubber Co.. Inc.. show that the air pres.-rure varies but slightly as a result of temperature variations. The pressure 0j a S4x4 tire increased from 70 lbs. at 40 degrees Fahrenheit to 75.4 lbs. a' !! degree.. Starting w-ith 7"' Ins. pressure ot 7" degrees. th pressure increased to 75.3 lbs. at 110 degrees. Variations as slight as these are not considered dangerous b- tire experts. Moreover, the motorist would seldom encounter conditions where the temperature -would fluctuate in decrees during the day. Consequently th ironclad rule of "don't change o:r pressure" sh-vuid be rlgii' oheved.

The exclusive Cleveland motor, of the over-head valve type, cuict and powerful, gives real life to the car. It ha?, flexibility of power and case f driving that cannot be found in many care. " It handles like a feather," say. one owner. "It

steps out as fast as any car ever built," is another's comment. "It fairly glides over the long mountain climbs," writes a Colorado enthusiast. The cturdy Cleveland chassis is featured by lowunderclung spring construction, positive brakes, and other factors of comfort and safety. On this one standard chassis are mounted four bods of unusual beauty and dignity, all handsomely finished and splendidly upholstered.
