Earle & Allen, Who Have

One of the most progressive firms in
the electric automobile field in Wash

have the Hupp-Yeats agency, with a
large saIesroom at 1910 Fourteenth

firm are young men who have given the
electric automobile close study, and
they are making their influence felt
here in no uncertain manner.
For the 1912 season the Hupp-Y eats

from a glance at the car is that the de-

Printed Deposit Slips

In the future a printed certificate Of
deposit will be issued to depositors in

present engraved slips. The present
slips are expensive. The adoption Of
printed certificates will mean the saw

Inner Tubes Injured
By Careless Fitting

A motorist may find that an inner
tube has been injured. and, perhaps,
ruined from no apparent cause. Upon
examination small holes will be found
In its surface, the only logical reaso =
for their presence being apparently
poor tube material.
This, however. is seldom the cause.
The real trouble lies with the motorist.
He has carelessly fitted the tube, allow
ing small particles of mud and dirt to
enter the envelope, the air pressure
from within the tube and the external
pressure having combined to grind the
foreign matter into the tube.
When fitting a tire, it is not enough to
simply clean the envelope and tube.
Care should be taken TO admit no mud
or sand during the operation. The tire
levers should not be left lying on the
ground, as they will collect dirt, which
may find its way into the envelope

intricate design in small figures, yet It
was light enough in its general colorlng
