POINTERS FOR
THE MOTORIST

Proper way to initiate a tire set
forth in an interesting manner.
Incorrect imitation is one of the
commonest causes of tire deterlora-
ton and to initiate too much is Just
as bad as to initiate too little
Over initiation not only subjects the
canvas OF the envelope TO an unnec-
essary strain, but also robs the tire
of its resiliency Thus, when run
ming over an obstruction an oyer-in-
fiated tire instead of absorbing the
shock, transmits the full force OF the
Jolt to the mechanism Of the car.
First initiate the car 10 the proper
pressure and then make tests from
time to timte to assure yourself that
the air pressure is up to the standard
necessary for a tire Of the size used
when supporting its maximum
weight. If the pressure has de-
creased the cause may be readily dis
covered. The seat Of the valve plug
may not be perfectly clean, causing
a leak at that point, or II the rubber
washer at the base Of the valve cap
is displaced. the air will gradually es-
cape. Then again, If pinchers were

NOT MUCH DOING

Tired Trees.

The condition Of life in a tropical
forest is sunlight. and to get to the
top. where alone there is sunlight. is
the constant aim Of every tree. They
have no winters rest in the tropics,
and they are so hard at work all day
long that at night the trees seem quite
tired out From dawn 20 sunset the
trees are hard at work. You can
almost see some OF them growing. and.
as may naturally be supposed. they
must have a little rest at night. The
tree is thoroughly exhausted. its
branches lose their stiffness. while the
leaves droop and fold themselves to-
gether. Unlike those Of temperate eli
mates the trees OF the tropics all
more or less. show these signs OF ex-
haustion toward sunset
Building . House.
In building a house every layer OF
brick is termed course" II is usual
to place In the walls upright and hori-
1ontal damp proof courses. These
ought TO be composed of some sub
stance that water cannot penetrate. In
this way the walls are mapped out into
squares and the accidental dsmping
OF any one square cannot AFFECT the
others. Unfortunately. there are some
builders who study economy unduly
and their damp proof courses act as
effectively as a layer OF wet sea sand
Those who intend having a house
built should regard the genuineness OF
the measures adopted 10 prevent damp
as of the very FIRST importance.--Lon

COMPETITION VS.. REGULATION

heard complaints of regulation de-
veloping into interference" and ere
straint' and eventually in panics.
Competition brings the result at once
and the man who prefers regulation
to competition has not carefully stud
led the subject What is true of the
country at large is true Of Whining
