The Fish Rubber Company expert explains six pneumatic truck tire sizes and their compatible rims. He notes 34x5 fits 34x5 rims, 36x6 fits 36x6, and larger oversizes align with specific rims, while a 42x9 tire has its own rim. He urges owners to record tire sizes and correct oversizes for quick reference.
A historic note advises motorists to prepare for breakdowns with tire accessories rather than relying on luck. The Diamond Rubber Co. recommends carrying extra inner tubes, a fire sleeve, applying levers, self vulcanizing patches, puncture plugs, valve insides and caps, dust caps, and powdered soap between casing to prevent trouble on the road.
The note advises drivers to carry a tube to prevent chafing an air pump and jack. It recommends at least one extra tire casing for a blow out and a tire cover to shield the spare from damage.
The state department of public safety will enforce automobile license taxes in a new arrangement with the state road commission. H. S. White announced the plan as police will add this duty, hoping to curb tax evasion and increase revenue by about $2,000 monthly.
A survey by the B F Goodrich Travel and Transport Bureau at the Lincoln Highway near Pittsburgh finds trucks now make up about one third of traffic. In a 24 hour check 476 trucks passed vs 924 cars and nine horses, carrying iron steel brick lumber and farm goods totaling roughly 900 tons.

Historical notes describe gold presence in the Appalachian region from early exploration by Spaniards to mining in Georgia and Cabarrus County North Carolina. Output in 1829 from South Carolina, Civil War decline, and later revival in the seventies to nineties marked enduring eastern gold activities.
A worn tire narrates its decline from factory strength to junk pile after being deprived of air and proper maintenance. The tire laments neglect by its owner who rushed to the country and ignored available air stations, causing overheating and its eventual collapse.
The central Carolinas see declining free milling ore and unprofitable extraction from lower grade sulphide ore, dampening local mining activity. Analysts expect continued mining in the Appalachian region for many years despite current downturns.
Buenos Aires reports plans to elevate legations in England France Italy and Germany to embassy status matching Spain and the United States.
