The Nerada state oath provides
that no dueling shall take place in
the state and whosoever is called
upon to take the oath-man or
woman-swears they will not

of the old time duela which took
place between Nevada men, but
was fought acros the border in
California, was told nc by the "old

duel VISA. fought at the "Bodie

Aurora Democrat was supposed to
be Secesh and was edited by a man
named Draper. In one of it's
issues Draper paid his respects to
doc" EcIlewroth in terms which
were anything but polite. That
morning the Doctor sent his card
to the editor, the challenge was
accepted. pistols were named and
the "Bodie Ranch CHOSEN as the
location of the duelinG grounds.
A number Of rigs were hired
and the principals with their
seconds and friends req aired to the

both men fired. The editor leaped

ting influences 70 which tires are sub
jected.
A tire manufacturer recently said: TT
makes no difference how wen solid tires
are made. or to what extremes the man
ufacturer goes to fortify them against
the lneessant knocks of road travel. they
will not Withstand the abuses OF the
speed maniac Speeding is an evil that
can result In but one thing-decreased
tire mileage and increased tire expense
And the particularly aggravatlng fea-
ture OF this Is that It Is a matter that
cannot be regulated unless a driver obeys
instructions and sends the truck along
at & moderate pace. Reliable drivers
do this, but there Is always the other
fellow, who. as soon as he Is out OF
sight Of the boss. throws open the
throttle and burns up the pavement.
Such q man is decidedly expensive to
the truck owner.
Demonstration has proven that at an
average speed OF twelve mi1es an hour
the life of a tire Is about twice what
II is at an average speed OF twenty
miles an hour. Still higher speeds re-
duce the life of the tire propof1ionately.
Therefore. II should not require any
great amount OF meditation TO deter
mine the effect of constant speeding
upon an owners tire bills.
There are a great many conditions
and abuses Calculated to shorten the life

no hesitancy in placing speeding at the
