suit was that while overSpeeding and
heediessness of consequences landed some
of the amateurs in the ditch and polinaed
their cars necessarily. the professionals
got the most of their machines over
every foot of the road, and saved them in
every way possible.
On the other hand. officials of the tour
were highly gratifed at the showing
made by some of the amateurs. The pres
ent tour developed number OF good
amateur drivers, and II is predicted that
another year will produce more or them
in contests of this character. In several
instances Chauffeurs were employed by
the owners of private cars 10 pilot the
machines over the long grind for which
they have received equal praise along With
the amateur pilots.
To Chairman Butler IS due the success
of the 1911 Glidden tour. Had II not been
for his efforts there would have been no
Glidden tour this year. The tour last
year ended with u contest in the courts

set about organizing a Glidden tour along
the lines which first governed this great
American touring classic. He obta ned

original purposes-a strict RELIABILITY con-

TIRE POINTERS FOR
MOTORISTS.

This is the season of the year
when great many motorists are
preparing TO lay mp their cars for
the winter. In order to aid them
in putting the tires away properly
the following instructions on this
point are given:
when you lay up your car. for
the winter remove the tires First
wash them carefully with soap and
water. and then wrap them in
strips of paper or cloth. Store
them in a dark place which is kept
nearly as possible at a tempera-
ture of 30 degrees. If the tires are
to remain on the wheels for con-
siderable length of time when the
car is out of service. jack up the
wheels and leave cnly about five
pounds of air in each tire. This
keeps the tubes in shape and also
keeps them soft and pliable. When
the wheels are not lacked up and
the ear is allowed to stand for any
length of time the tires should be
kept well inflated and the car
moved occasionally. so that the
tires do not fiatten from standing
too long on one spot"

Results in recent truck tests have shown
the Importance of proper braking. Many
OF the one-ton trucks should have larger
brakes. They use large diameter wheels,
but not large enough drums. The In
adequacy of the brakes on the lighter
vehicles Is proven by the number or
accidents these vehicles suffer by run
ming into street cars. heavy horse trucks
and into one another. Many OF tho acct
dents are due TO the brakes locking the
wheels and the truck skiddins on the car
tracks into the street car. This suggests
the necessity OF some additional brake
arrangement. One contestant IN the Chi
ca 90 demonstration was ready to guar
antee that his machine skidded seventy

When operating In traffic zones q one
ton truck travelling ten miles per hour

fitted TO accomplish this, then some adj

introduced. Locking OF the wheels is the

The case arose from action of a Fort

compel the United States Express
CompanN- to accept shipments of
liquor to points III former Indian Ter
ritory, which the company resisted on
the ground that the act of Congress
Of 1897 was continued in force by the

gitimacy of liquor as an item of inter
state commerce. The District Court
gave the mandamus and this was over
ruled by the Circuit Court and ordered

lands to which the title is in the GOV |
arnment of the United States or the |

This uncertainty, perhaps,
arises to certain extent from the
allure of Friedman & Company to
tate with certainty any of the facts

de of being interpreted so as to re-
store so far as the Indian Territory
