The wheels of a car should always run
exactly parallel Anything which pre-
vents this will cause tire trouble Toe
much play In the axle-end bearings. too
great freedom in the steering joints or
possibly bent spindle or axle end in
variably exacts its penalty.
Brakes. too, when they are out of or
der. do damage to tires. Should only one
of the back wheels lock when applying
the brakes the tire on the slipping wheel
will surely be injured.
Another kind Of tire trouble arises from
weakened springs. Every time the car
jolts badly the upper part of the tire
rubs against the mudguard. and as a re-
suit the envelope is damaged.
Driving chains also are often the cause
slack the swinging motion produced by
! the car In running will cause the lower
part OF the chains to strike the sides Of
the tires.
When the chain line is toe close to the
tires or when the cha:Ii bolts are too
long they rub the envelopes. making OBJ
lique scratches on the rubber. These cuts
or scratches on the inner side walls of
the tires are crossed at regular inter-
walls. first when the bolts pass on the up
per and again when they pass on the
lower part of the side walls.
Oil or grease from leaky or overfilled
tanks should not be permitted to reach
the tires. because oil and other fatty
substant es are most injurious to rubber.

The eyes Of the automobile engineering
world are upon Dayton. Ohio. where the
Society Of Automobile Engineers will hold
its annual summer meeting the middle OF
next month. Thursday morning. June Is.
about five hundred engineers engaged in

The transa ctions resulting from the
meetings of the s. A. E. are the most
valuable contribution to automobile en-
gineering. The greatest advantage of S.
A. e. membership Is the interchange of
ideas and opinions between the members
who meet twice year In national con-

The Carter Motor Car Corporation of
this city has entered a touring car to
participate in the tour.
An announcement which occasioned
considerable surprise in motoring circles
last week was the sale of the controlling
interest in the Pope Automobile Com
pany of Washington by 7. B. Spence to
James H. Nolan of this city. The deal
was one Of the largest ever consummated
in this city. Mr.. Nolan will act as presi-
dent and general manager Of the COM
pany until the next meeting of the board
of directors Is held. when the future
policy of the company will be outlined.
1t Is quite probable that the same line
of cars as is now handled by the Pope
company will be continued.
With the increasing popularity of tour
ing in the southern states 1t will be
good news to northern motorists to learn
that a special proclamation has just been
issued by Gov Crothers of Maryland, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
the Touring Club of America, whereby
motorists who are residents Of the states
Of New York. Pennsylvania. Delaware.
Virginia and West Virginia may tour in
Maryland for q seven-day period with
out obtaining any separate s.ate license
or tag from the commissioner OF motor
vehicles of Maryland. This privilege. of
course, is only extended to motorists

The question has often been asked
"Why is it In photographs of swiftly

Scientific MANAGER.

One cold winter day some railroad
officials while making an inspection Of
a large yard stepped for a moment in
side a switchman's shanty to get
warm. Among them was a general
superintendent who was known to
have a mania for scientific manage
ment' and the reduction of expenses
AS they were leaving the switchman
asked the travelling yardmaster, whom
he knew: n>
"Now, can ye be tellin' me who thot
mon is?"
That's the general superintendent"
the yardmaster replied.
what do you think O. that? Hes a
foine lookin' mon, and We never would
believe the tales ye are hearin' about

"What. have you heard about him.
Mike?" was the curious question.
"Why. they do say that he was at

when the six pallbearers come out he
raised his hand and said: Hold on q

The EVERGLADES.

The region known as the Everglades
of Florida is about sixty miles long by
some .fifty-fiive miles broad and is one
vast swamp, studded with islands OF
from a quarter of an acre to hundreds
OF acres in extent. These Islands are
generally covered with dense thickets
Of shrubbery or vines and occasion
ally with lofty pines and palmettos.
The water is from one to six feet deep,
the bottom. as a rule, covered with
growth of rank grass. During the
rainy season, from July to October. the
district comprised in the Everglades Is
practically impenetrable The vege-
table deposit of the Everglades is con-
sidered well adapted to the growth of
the banana and other fruits, and when
properly drained the region will I'M
doubtedly be one of the most fertile on
earth.-New York American.

3 when the Indians travelled together
they seldom walked or rode two or
more abreast. but followed one another
in single file. 1t has been thought by
some that this practice resulted from
the lack of roads. which compelled
them to make their way through woods
and around rocks by narrow paths. If
this were the real reason for the prac-
t1ce. then we should expect to find that
The tribes who lived in open countries

'he true reason for journeying as the
Indians did in single file seems to be
feeling of caste. This feeling was
at the bottom of other customs Of the
Indians. 1t made their women slaves
and rendered the men silent and unso-
cial. This popularity is Asiatie. How it
has warped and disfgured Hindu life

Hay In Church.

+; A curious custom has been observed
from time immemorial at Old Weston.
Huntingdonshire, in England. The
church there is dedicated to st. Swith-
in, and on the Sunday most nearly ap-
preaching st. Swithins day the editice
is strewn with new mown hay The
tradition is that an old lady bequeath-
ed a field for charita BILE purposes on
condition that the tenant provided the
hay to lessen the annoyance caused by
the squeaking of the new shoes worn
by the villagers on Feast Sunday.
There are other xplanations-one that
it is an offering of the first fruits of
the hay harvest and another that it is
a survival Of the custom of strewing
the church (when the floor was only
beaten earth) with rushes.

StruuoIe of the Rivers.

The discovery that there is a kind Of
struggle for existence and survival Of
the fittest among rivers is one of the
most interesting results Of the modern
study Of photography. A notable ex-
ample Of this contest is exhibited by
England's two biggest rivers, the
Thames and the Severn. Between their
valleys lie the Cotswold bills, and ex-
ploration shows that the Severn by
eating backward among these hills
where softer strata underlie them has
diverted to itself some Of the headwa-
tiers which formerly flowed into the
Thames.

Popular Election of Senators,

1t now seems q foregone conclusion
that an amendment to the %constitu-
ton prescribing hat United States
senators shall be elected by direct
popular vote will pass congress at this
session and will go to the states in
time to be ratified by most of the leg
tslatures this year.
The only serious question involved
is as to whether the nation or the state
shall fix the qualifications of electors.
The Depew amendment places the con
troll in the nation. Democratic sena-
tors denounce this lis a revival of the
force bill, and it seems certain that
enough Republicans will join them to
kill the amendment and leave the
states to fix the qualifications. as they
do in the election Of members of the
house of representatives.
1t has been a long fight for popular
election of senators, having started
long before the end of the last cen
tury. Always heretofore the proposed
reform has been blocked by the senate
itself. Now 1t is the senate that is
moving in the matter, hence the GER
tainty that the measure will go
through. The outcome is but one
more evidence that public opinion will
ultimately have it's way. For on this
subject the people had become well
nigh unanimous. Denied their will by
the constitution and the senate, the vot-
ers were reaching their ends through
direct primaries in the states. So far
had this movement progressed that
further resistance was useless. The
present surrender of the senate marks
the beginning of the end.
