The Clark Detachable Tire.

The Clark Tire Company, of Chicago,

111., have recently placed upon the market

a new detachable tire, differing considerably

from the usual tire of this description.

It is composed of a strut band, a casing

and an inner tubing.

The strut band is composed of a strip of

metal to which are attached a number of

struts so spaced and arranged that when

placed on the rim five of the struts engage

the openings in a standard rim.

The casing is made of the Para rubber

and constricting fabric; it is molded in

oval form to give it a compressed tread.

Upon each side of the casing is a chafing

roll so placed as to lie directly upon the

rim edges, thus preventing the rim from

coming in contact with the casing proper.

Eyelets are placed in the casing under the

chafing rolls and so spaced as to engage

the struts on the band.

The tube is said to be of extra heavy

construction.

The compressed tread is an advantage,

as by its means cuts or punctures have a

tendency to close immediately. The manufacturers,

however, do not claim a puncture

proof tire.

Repairs can be effected on the road, and

without the use of tools any part of the

casing can be released and the inner tube

withdrawn at the place punctured, a patch

applied and a permanent repair effected,

without the loss of much time.

Minor Mention

During his recent visit to London the
Shah of Persia bought six automobiles,
each of 12 horse power, roofed and convertible
into a close carriage. Each car
has seating accommodations for eight
persons. Two of the vehicles are to be
sent to Persia immediately with engineers
who have been engaged for them.

Removal

To secure more room we have moved our office from the
sixth to the thirteenth floor of the American Tract Society
Building, where our advertisers and subscribers are invited to
call.

Alcohol Motors

In the Acetylene Number, to be issued in May, we shall

also consider the availability of alcohol as a fuel for vehicle

motors. It is well known that alcohol is a poor fuel as compared

with gasoline or kerosene, and that its economical use

in motors would only be possible if the price of gasoline were

raised to the point of extortion or its supply should fail and

the tax on alcohol now levied by the Government were abolished.

Still, we shall endeavor to present some interesting

facts in regard to this fuel.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due

More honor to the Honorable J. Scott Montagu, M. P.!

He told the truth. The motor trade of Great Britain had

waited and suffered long, but now that the silence is broken

and Lawsonian tactics are held up to public scorn, the tide

has turned and more rapid and substantial progress may

be expected.

----------------------|----------------------

The promoters of the Lead Cab flotilla are squeezing some

of the water out of their stocks. If they will only sit a little

longer on the stool of repentance perhaps they will muster

up courage enough to tell their shareholders and the public

what it costs to operate Lead Cabs. No doubt a further reduction

of capital stock would then be found advisable.

Temporary Inconvenience and Dangers

Among the recent legal decisions affecting

the rights of automobilists on the public

highways, is the clear and strong opinion

by Judge Sutherland of the Rochester

municipal court, of New York. The conclusions

of the judge, as stated in that

opinion, are undoubtedly good law, and

the breadth of view displayed in that

opinion has been a material aid to the

whole industry. The concluding remarks

In the opinion referred to are as follows:

"The temporary inconvenience and dangers

incident to the introduction of these

modern and practical modes of travel

upon the highway must be subordinate

to the larger and permanent benefits to

the general public resulting from the

adoption of the improvements which science

and inventive skill have perfected."

Ignition: Troublesome

It is generally admitted that the ignition is at present the

most bothersome part of a gasoline motor for the novice to

handle, and some manufacturers advocate a single cylinder

motor for this reason alone. Although admitting that for general

purposes of construction the two-cylinder motor is to be

preferred, they believe it is easier to study the electric ignition

with one cylinder than with two.

The Coast is Clear

With the exception of New York State, the coast is apparently

clear for the motor vehicle throughout the United

States. License laws and speed laws are being discussed and

will in some instances be enacted, but from the present outlook

the motor vehicle will not be burdened with adverse

legislation to any great extent, nor for any great length of

time. Speed laws are reasonable and necessary; license laws

are not with the probable exception of some classes of steam

vehicles which may have to be subjected to some kind of

supervision by the authorities.

In point of legal status, therefore, motor vehicle manufacturers

have little cause for complaint and it will be their

own fault if the coast does not remain clear for them.

Dead Letter Laws

As predicted by the editor of The Horseless Age, the park

authorities who have been so injudicious as to exclude motor

vehicles from their confines are offering but a feeble resistance

to violators of their ordinances. Having stirred up a

perfect hornets' nest of criticism from all sides, they are quite

content to save their official dignity by letting the matter

drop as quickly as it will. They had not counted on the popularity

of the motor vehicle, and to public; opinion, must all

publjc servants bow

The Roaring Lion.

The lion's roar of the monopolists who early in the year

were seeking whole motor industries to devour has dwindled

to a bird-like chirp, just loud enough to remind us of their

existence and altogether peaceful and domestic in its tone.

We are glad to have the monopolists with us. The motor

vehicle industry is big enough to accommodate any number of

monopolists, as well as independents of all kinds and degrees,

and when the lion has lost his roar and his claws he is forced

to content himself with a more abstemious diet.

Horse and Driver Alike

Elwood Haynes, of the Haynes-Apperson Co., Kokomo,

Ind., who recently made the long run from Kokomo to New

York in one of their carriages, says he believes the average

horse is afraid of a motor carriage, not because of the noise it

makes, but because it moves along without the aid of animal

power, and, therefore, has about it something uncanny to the

equine mind. Other users who have carefully observed the

conduct of horses in meeting motor vehicles on the road are

of the same opinion, and as a like bewilderment and terror may

be observed in many of the human beings who drive horses,

the mental processes of the horse and the man appear to be

quite similar after all

Automobile Accidents

A five year old girl was run over and killed by an electric cab in New York last
week. It appears from the testimony of the driver that she ran from the curb directly
in front of the vehicle.

On August 23 a machine occupied by J.A. Hands and J. F. Merk ran into an obstruction
just outside the Brighton Beach track, and the two men were thrown out,
Mr. Hands breaking an arm.

While practicing on the Brighton Beach track on the morning of the races; H. C.
Smith got too near the fence with his Winton machine and struck a post with rather
bad results to both fence and vehicle.

Mr. and Mrs. John Mills, of St. David's, Pa., were thrown from their automobile
while passing through Bryn Mawr on August 23, and were badly injured. While the
machine was ascending a grade, with Mrs. Mills in charge of the levers, a chain broke
and the auto came to a stop with a jerk sufficiently abrupt to unseat the two occupants,
and both were thrown violently into the road.

A touring car occupied by Dr. A. A. Webber and S. C. Blaisdell, of Brooklyn,
came to grief at Lynbrook, L. I., on August 24. It was being driven at a high speed
when, to avoid a horse vehicle suddenly looming up, the driver turned out abruptly
and ran the machine into the ditch. The two occupants were painfully injured and
the machine badly wrecked.

Want All Motor Vehicles Licensed

The aldermen of Boston are wrestling with an ordinance to

compel the licensing of all motor vehicles. The ordinance introduced

reads as follows :

Nor shall any owner or driver of any vehicle drive it or permit it to be driven on the streets of Boston by power of steam, gas, gasolene, naphtha, compressed air, electricity or combination of any or all without a permit from the Board of Aldermen.

There is no shallow of justification for the licensing of motor

vehicles, unless all vehicles are to be licensed. The motor

vehicle is not a road destroyer like the horse, but a road

maker; it is safer and more manageable than a horse; it will

relieve the congestion of the streets and facilitate travel and

traffic in general. How, then, can it rightly be subject to

restrictions from which horse vehicles are exempt?

This matter was quite fully discussed in our issue of April

11, and it is safe to say now, as was said then, that any such

general ordinance as that cited above would quickly become a

dead letter if the lawmakers are foolish enough to pass it.

A New Name For It

While the philologists are amusing themselves with the invention of new names for the motor vehicle a
Western newspaper spontaneously springs upon us a name which, in length and breadth, far surpasses
any the philologists have yet been able to invent. It is "horseless carriage bicycle," a medley of horses,
bicycles and carriages that is not so inappropriate a description of the work of some of our inventors as might be supposed.

An Egregious Blunder

The transcontinental tourists have abandoned their worldshaking trip and returned to private life. The whole scheme was an egregious blunder for all concerned, discreditable to

the promoters and to the industry in general, and the sooner it is forgotten the better.
