Rubber Tire. on F,r- Ea-tnes.

A set OF rubber tires suitable for use
on a fire engine cost from $3.50 TO $3.50
There is no question about the advan-
tages of their use. With rubber tires
an engine goes less often to the repair
shop and % Is more continuously in
commission. And II you should happen
to see rubber tired engine go around
a corner or get into or out OF the tracks
of a street railroad, you'd think the ad-
vantage gained there was enough to
pay for the tires. The engine doesn't
swing or slide. but II follows true

done by the adoption OF color for

II is surprising TO note the number of
small islands which already belong to
the United States. through their ac-
QUESTION for one purpose or another
by American citizens. A notable fact
about the ocean cIbles is their abund-
ance in the Atlantic ocean. between
both North and South America and
Europe. and all the seas about the
eastern hemisphere, but their con-
spicuous absence from the Pacific.
While cables skirt continents border
ing on the Pacific. they do not strike
out boldly across that ocean. The
contrast, as revealed in this way, be-

to the Orient is most marked. All our

quite probable that whatever is done
