The argument advanced in favor of
the 40-inch wheels is briefly this:
The tire around the wheel has 10

do SO a definite area Of the tire tread
must be in contact with the ground. If
the length of the contact surface be
short-as IL necessarily must be with q
short wheel-the width OF contact must
be increased. Hence it has been found
that the small wheels at present used,
especially for driving wheels must
have very wide tires.
1t is the width of contact, aud not
the length Of the contact surface Ou

1898 HAYNES FIRST CAR BUILT IN AMERICA.

automobile dealer in the city, but also
handles the Haynes automobile, the
first motor car built in the United
States. a picture of which Is also shown
herewith
The Haynes car was built because Of
Il specific demand by automobile pur-
chasers for a medium.priced Gve-pas-
scn2cr car of known quality-madc by
an established firm with m established
reputation.
We have been at work for the past
two years on n car that would fill this
demand>.a car in which we could put
all the famous Haynes features, and
yet not sacrifice in the least the well
known superiority of Haynes construc-
ton. Model ~ mt $4,000 is the result.
This superb car is not built TO sell In
quantities ms is the case with cheap
cars, but is intended for buyers Of per
manent cars who insist on n car of
proven quality, because they appre-
ciate the actual economy of such pur-
chase.
Automobile buying is not as much
of an experiment as it used TO be and
buyers arc counting the after cost very
much more than was customary a few
years ago

fectioners windows and on Easter cards
though these two animals are related. they
are not quite the same. COnfectioners don't
need to know much about natural history
20 carry on their business, and It's quite
likely some OF them have never studied IL
at all. So they may be responsible for the
mistake.
Now, the question really is. What has
the hare to do with Easter? Most OF the
little men and little women probably know
that long ago people often sacrificed ami
mails as an act Of worship. and that GER
tain animals were considered sacred. There
are still countries in which animals are
connected with religious ceremonies 1t is
thought by people who have studied these
subjects that the hare must have been
connected with the worship of the goddess
EOstre in whom the people Of Great Brit
ain believed before they were converted to
Christianity. and from whom. according TO
the Venerable Bede. one Of the earliest Eng
lish writer's. the festival of Easter took its
name.
Some Of the early Christians. OF course.
did not understand the new religion very
well. and having associated the hare with
the goddess Eostre, they would go on
thinking Of II in connection with the festi-
val of Easter. These things are rather per
picking as those who know most about
them admit but. for whatever reason, il is
quite certain that the hare has had a part
in Easter observances for many hundreds
of years
