Brighton Beere states that the upper

'Fxer, Tire~ company. which
heep handles the Good
unpeu oP yean tires and the

gauge. has received a letter in which it
IS stated that l. w. Lissberger, who
has made a careful study of the tire
question, is of the opinion that at least
so per cent of all tire troubles result
from improper imitation. He believes
that If automobile owners paid more at
tention to the importance of keeping
the proper amount of air in their tires
according to the combined weight of
the car and passengers, half the re-
pair expenses would be avoided. Every
automobilist should be equipped with a
gauge as nurses or doctors should al
ways have a thermometer with them.
Word has just been received that H

night for Portland to witness the road
