Rubber's Big Four annually make 91% of all the tires for U. S. automobiles. William Francis O'Neil's General Tire & Rubber Co. makes another 5%, with Lee, Dayton, Fisk, Seiberling, Mansfield and Pharis splitting the remainder. Total number of tires sold in 1936 was 58,000,000, compared with a high of 72,000,000 in 1928. Tires now last at least 20,000 mi. instead of the 8,000 mi. they were good for 15 years ago, but more cars and more mileage per car per year have complemented technological improvements.

Fingers were pointed at Dayton, 50 miles above Cincinnati, which, after the disastrous flood of 1913 in the Miami Valley, spent $30,000,000 building five reservoirs to impound headwaters and release them only as fast as the streams could carry them away. Result : Dayton had no flood this year...
...Harry Richman's Lady Peace. Most of the rest of the Vimalert shipment consisted of 411 motors and enough parts to make 150 more. All of the disassembled stuff had been sold as unfit for further duty by the U. S. Army Air Corps at Wright Field, Dayton. Last week it was still largely in Army depots and at Dayton Brigadier General Augustine W. Robins, chief of the Materiel Division of the Air Corps, firmly announced that ''it will not be shipped until money for the purchase has arrived." Envious airplane dealers observed that Mr. Cuse...
