too great freedom in the steering
joints or possibly a bent spindle OF
axlle-end invariably exacts its penal
ty.
Brakes too, when they are out of
order 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 result the envelope is dam
aged.
Driving chains also are often the
cause of injury to tires. If the chain,
are slack, the swinging motion pro-
duced by the car in running, will
cause the lower part of the chains
to strick the sides of the tires.
When the chain line is too close to
the tires or when the chain bolts are
too long, they rub the envelopes max
ing Oblique scratches on the rubber.
These cuts or scratches on the inner
side walls of the tires are crossed
at regular intervals, first when the
bolts pass on the upper and again
when they pass on the lower part of
the side walls.
Oil or grease from Ieaky or over
filled tanks should not be permitted
to reach the tires, because oil and
other fatty substances are most in
furious to rubber.

FOR MOTOR
CYCLE SPEEDING

Chief of Police Gibson, arrested
EdW. Wilson of Wausau for exceed
ing the ordinance speed limit of mo-
tor cycling on Thursday, May 18. 1t
is variously estimated that he was
going anywhere from twenty-five to
fifty miles an hour down Granl ave
nue. on the West side when Chief Glib
son hailed him in front of Johnson &
Hill Co.'S store and he couldn't stop
the machine until he got to the wag-
on bridge. The chief arraigned him
before Justice Brown. He plead not
guilty and asked for an adjournment
until Wednesday, May "a, where
it will probably be proven how fast
he was running. We understand since
his arrest that it was under the state
law that the warrant was issued Mr.
Wilson will be defended by some at
torney from Wausau when the time
comes. The outcome will be watch
ed with some interest.

NORWOODS ARE GOOD

With the coming of the NorWood's s
Hypnotic Comedy Company at DAILY S
Theatre for one week commencing
Monday evening, the people of this
city will no doubt enjoy a great deal
Of amusement.
Monday evening a large and enthu-
siastic audience greeted the NorWoods
A number of the local boys were put
under hypnotic influence and their an
tics kept the audience in an uproar.
One of the most amusing features was
the boys impersonation of Spanish
dancing girls. The mental telepathy
test between Prof. Norwood and Miss
Eva Phelps convinced the audience
Of the reality of that transference.

nearest normal.
Three states, Delaware, Nevada ant
Wyoming, have not a population a.
mounting to the ratio 211 ,877, but two
of them, namely, Delaware and Wy
oming, have a population amounting
to more than a moiety or a major
fraction of the ratio. The population
of Nevada is less than a major froction
of the ratio, but that state gets a
member under the constitution. which
provides that every state shall have
at least one representative. If the
territory Of Arizona is admitted as a
state it would come in under this
same provision of the Constitution.

ship at the next session shall be 433
and the new ratio for each represen-
tatiye, 211, SIT population. The 1910
cnsus of each state is divided by this
ratio and one representative is as
signed for each full ratio and one in
addition for each major fraction there
Of and this figure of 211,877. which
was worked out by Prof. W. F. Wilcox
Of Cornell University, prevents the
loss Of a representative by any state.

The average population per con
gresaonal district in Wisconsin will.
be 212,169 under the new census, gi
ing this state a good margin over the
requirement. In 1900 it was 1885,
O95 against the national ratio Of 1884,
1872. There will now be five districts
with a population below the normal
while six will be above the figure. 1t
is also interesting tonote that the
Third district, distinctive as a dry
section, is the only district to show a
decrease in population in the decade
Both the Second and Third districts
are $4,000 below normal while the
Eleventh, the largest, is $4,000 above
normal. The First and Eighth are

COMMERCIAL CLUB
Don't Kick But Work.
(By Geo. L. WiIliams.)

I am told that there are a few
citizens who feel hurt because they
were not presented with the pledge
or agreement to join the Commercial
Club, in other words that they did not
have an opportunity to either sigI
or refuse to sign. That they feel this,
they were slighted, and that an insult
was indirectly handed to them, be
cause they were overlooked or were
not seen by persons who were going
around with the paper previous tC
the meeting Thursday night. Some
say that they were not called upon
and have got the idea into their head
that the Commercial Club has been
started by persons who desire tC
form a kind of exclusive set, a sort
of silk stocking affair.
Now, l want if possible, to disa
buse everybody of the idea that any
slight or insult, was intended by the
