It is predicted that the time Is not far
distant when more effective warning
quired. It often occurs that in an
emergency the horn falls to give loud

work at all. From personal observation
the writer has noticed that sharp warn

heard above the noise Of the traffic

There are several causes leading up to
the overheated motor. All OF them are
easily prevented. Many cars will run

necessary when the driver is loath to
drop into lower speed and thus allow his
motor to run fast enough so that the

township, there being only one-half mile
or less running along township line.
The other course has two legs running
along town lines and Is less preferable
because Of its shape.
The course known as the Janesv1lle-
Beloit road route Is diamond-shaped, the
opposite legs In each instance being par
allel. This shape gives but four curves,
none being less than ninety degrees. 1t
will be necessary to change but one
curve, the lower corner, which can be
rebuilt without the slightest obstacle The
entire turn Is an orchard, the owner OF
through It to make curve Of $50 to
900 feet. The course measures 10.7 miles
on unofficial meter reading.
The front wheels should not be adj
justed SO loosely that they are allowed to
wobble. Neither ahould nuts be screwed
UP 50 tightly that there is an excess
created. When the wheels begin to give
signs Of play it is time that the required
adjustment be made.
It has peen computed that American
car owners spend over 500 100000 per
year touring in Europe. This enormous
expenditure suggests the reason why the
people go abroad to tour. They go be-
cause they have roads over there and
because there are things to see.

No Cut tires
Decide Which Tire

Will you have tires that rim-cut, or tires that
never can?
Will you have oversize t;re.-10 per cent extra
capacity-or tires just rated size?
Some 100000 motor car owners have chosen
the Goodyear No-Rnm-Cut tire.
Those men have found that these patent tires
cut tire bills In two.

No Extra Price

Rim-cutting occurs, as stats
tics show, with q per cent of
the old-type tires. The new
type tire-the No-Rim.Cut tire
saves that loss entirely.
And 10 per cent oversize, with
the average car, adds Is per
cent to the tire mileage.
These two features together
mean an average saving of IS
per cent. Yet No-Rim-Cut tires
now cost no more than other
standard tires.
Think these facts over-you
men who buy tires. You will SEQ
why most men now demand them.

Two Gulls Are Seen.
They saw two gulls al latitude

the far wandering gulls came flying
past and alighted on the cairn.
Three of the best dogs deserted
Amundsen at 33 degrees. They had
killed female dog at S2h degrees
and the three dogs went back looking
for her. This gave Amundsen great
anxiety, for he feared that the dogs
would break into the dcpots on which
they depended on their return and
devOur or ruin the stores of food.
Whom they returned TO 81 degrees

Captain Amundsen himself set the
disputed question of whether he had
met Scott at rest today.
Il found nothing whatever to prove
that Captain Scott or any one of his
expedition had been at the Pole" he
said. Then the brave Norwegian
added magnanimously, But 1t is pos.
sible that Scott had been there and
left some substantial memories,
which the storms destroyed"
Hopes He Did Arrive.
This expression seems to have
been dictated by Amundsen's admira-
ton for a worthy rival. For in the
three days that Amundsen was at the
pole the weather was calm and still.

The great difficulties Amundsen
aud his comrades experienced were
caused by the lofty heights which
they encountered during the latter
part of the dash to the pole. For
nearly six weeks they were at an al,

I 1850 feet.

feast consisted OF an extra allowance
of biscuits cooked into porridge, a
poor substitute for the abundance OF
a Norwegian Christmas. But they
did not rest even on Christmas day
