BOSSES SCORED FOR DECLINING EFFICIENCY
First Day OF The Boss And Privilege Convention

New York, July 1.-THE Joint con
vchtion of the National Association
for the Protection of Privilege and
! National Boss4bund was opened AT
noon today by Chairman Bonded
water amid mitch enthusiasm. Mr.
Bondedwater, whose charities are
well known, is one of the foremost
ltrlvileged men of the land and is
the idol OF the bosses, many of whom
he has let i'm on various franchise
deals to their great pecuniary advant-
Iage. His opening address was pacific
in tone and was directed mainly at
thd bosses who were separated from
the magnates at one side Of the
Auditorium. After stating that many
traction and other magnates as well
as lesser privilege such as
s.necure officials, had found the serv-
ice rendered by modern bossism less
satisfactory than in former years. he
went on to eXalt the stars and stripes
IN eloquent and fearful terms, using
as his text the flag which happened
to be draped on the arms and seat Of
the chair on which he had been sit
ting In conclusion he said

A FEW POINTERS
ABOUT AUTO TIRES

The average car owner, in buying a
tire, seems to thing Of nothing but
how cheap he can get 1t, or how many
miles of service will it give. In the
first regard, the policy is poor one,
for a cheaply built tire cannot give
extra mileage. Mileage, on the other
hand, while a vital consideration is
not the only one by any means. The
matter Of protection to car mechan-
ism which should be afforded by the
tire is of almost equal importance
ResiliencY Is the test of value in a
tire almost lost sight Of by the aver
age user. If, as in the case of a Fire
stone Tire, both resiliency and extra
mileage can be obtained, that is the
tire for the car owner to buy. Resil-
iency means more than easy riding.
1t means that by 1t, the iolts and jars
Of the road, partly taken up by the
springs, are practically obviated, the
delicate car mechanism protected, and
the life Of the car prolonged.
This advertising of the Firestone
company is worth reading Not only
because it is good advertising, but be-
cause it is frank, safe and sane. By it,
car owner, whether he buys Fire
stone Tires or not, can obtain points
Of real worth in deciding what real
high grade, sure service tire should
do,

HOW THE MOTORIST CAN
PRESERVE INNER TUBES

When fitting an inner tube 1t is a
good plan to dust small quantity of
tale or French chalk inside the enve-
lope. Just sufficient to cover the in
terror surface is all that is required.
Too much tale, says the Michelin Tire
expert gradually accumulating into
solid Jumps is a frequent cause of
punctures On the other hand insuffi-
cient tale will not prevent the inner
tube from sticking to the envelope.
Inner tubes should always be per-
fectly clean and dry when fitting.
Even the slightest moisture should be
avoided. 1t is a common practice to
lay tube on the step of the car or
even on the ground previous to fitting.
This is very expensive habit. There
Is always place to hang the tube
where it will be free from moisture or
dust. aHng it over a side lamp or
tire-holder but never lay it down
where it will come in contact with
foreign and injurious matter.
Inner tubes should always be carried
in waterproof bags such as can be
bought at any garage for a quarter.
They should never be kept in the ORR
ginal cardboard boxes, says the Mich
elm man. These boxes are sufficient
for the garage but not fod storing
tubes away from water, oil and grease,
but are not intended to protect the
tubes from sharp tools. Always keep
spare tubes in bags and keep the bags
awaY from metal objects.

TURNER SPRINGS
A NOVEL POINT
ON The COURT

That that provision Of the mechan-
ic's lien law which awards attorney
fees to the plaintiff, in the event that
he prevails, is unconstitutional, for
the reason that it denies the same
right to the defendant in the event
he prevails in the suit, was the novel
point raised today before Judge Gal
loway by John Turner, of the law
firm Of Carson, Brown & Turner.
The question was raised before
Judge Galloway in the case Of Mason
VS.. Wilson The plaintiff asked for
attorney fees, and It was then that
Attorney Turner called the courts at
tention to what he considered the un-
constitutionality of the provision. He
argued that the granting Of attorney
fees to the plaintiff, If he prevailed in
a suit, and denying It to the defend
ant was granting privileges to one
class Of citizens and denying it to an
other, which is in violation Of both
the state and federal constitution.
Judge Galloway, while doubtful as
to the constitutionality of the law, de-
cided in favor Of the plaintiff, declar-
ing that 1t was not the circuit courts
business to pass upon the constitu-
tionality Of law, but that this was
question which came within the prov
ince Of the supreme court. Attorney
Turner declares that he will prosecute
an appeal to the supreme court, and is
confident Of winning on the point
