An improvement In the wide tires.
about which 80 much has been said Of
late. 10 In building the vehicle with
the front axle about an inch shorter
than those ordinarily used. and the
rear axle an inch to an inch and a
half longer This gives from two TO
two ard a half inches difference In the
space between the fore wheels and the
hind wheels. In running. the two
wheels make a track or line, nearly
double the width Of one. Allowing the
tire 10 be four inches wide. the mark
on the roadway will be from seven and
a half 10 eight Ies wide. The prae-
teal value of this style Of wheel can
scarcely be appreciated. Instead OF
deep cuts and RUS. which are men
ace 10 al vehicles. we would have an
approximately smooth road surface.
sud the soil would be much less likely
to become cut up and soft. These
wheels would act like rollers. They
would crush down ruts and irregulari-
ties. and have a constant tendeley 70
keep the road In order. rather than de-
stroy II. II Is suggested that a law be
passed compelling wide tires on light
as well as heavy vehicles A skeleton
wheel with a wide tire might be made
extremely handsome. The felloe could
be thin and light aud the spokea

In such a fashion as 10 secure the
greatest strength and durability. II
IL predicted that once the vide tire
fancy for light vehicles gets started u
will speedily push all old-iashioned
narrow-tired wheels out Of the market

FInr Cooking.

II is astonishing how little hne cook
ing is understood throughout this eoun-
try. although there are exceptions
enough to this general rule to prove its
truth. With the multiplication Of cook
ing schools and Of reliable books Of
recipes. there seems only one reason for
this state OF affairs. That one reason
is. unfortunately. wide enough to cover
the ground. In only one country In
the world Is the table Of the average
household celebrated for It's worth.
That country is France. where a lady
does not consider the knowledge Of
cooking beneath her attention and
where the national success has become
a matter OF national pride Until the
women OF other lands come. as a body.
to regard their kitchens with the same
proud interest. one can but fear that
the food will be served as uncertainty
as at present
