SKIDDING
Pointers for the Motorist In Prevent
Ing His Machine From skiddlng
on Roads.

Skidding is so frequent a cause OF
automobile accidents. both slight and
serious that every motorisr must de
eide on some form OF protection
against II. Ii is however. difficult to
select from the many devices offered
the one which will be most effective
and economical.
Anti-skid devices may be divided
into two main classes, the detachable
and the non-detachable Steel chains,
leather straps and removable steel
studded leather treads are perhaps
the best known of the first class. All
these are widely used. but tire manu-
facturers are agreed that all detach-
able anti-skid devices are expensive in
the end because of the wear and tear
which they put on tires and machin-
cry.
II chains be fastened tightly 10 the
wheels so that they have no freedom
to slip back and forth, Il will be
quickly noticed that the crosspieces
are biting away the tread beneath
them. and when removed will show
the tire marked with deeply gouged
cross lines. Experience has proved
that the best way to use cna:ns r. to
attach them as loosely as possible.
Attachments such as removable
studded leather treads. while not
/ likely to cut or gouge the rubber. are
generally so cumbersome that they
destroy resiliency. In other words.
the tire. instead OF absorbing obstruc-
lions, rebounds from them and thus
transmits the shock TO the chassis. de
feating the very purpose for which
pneumatic tires were designed.
] These conditions show the necessity
for satisfactory antlskid. Many OF
these depend on some form OF rubber
elevation 10 check the skiding OF the
car. The experience OF many motor.
lists Is that such rubber non-sklds R
used with care are satisfactory while
they last. but that In some cases the
studs or other elevations wear away
quickly. One set OF figures recently
compiled showed that after travelling
one thousand miles the average non
skid tire was worn perfectly -snooth
Since most non-skids are considerably
more expensive than those with plain
trcads, manufacturers everywhere are
trying 20 make the anti-skid feature
more durable.
Finally. there r. the original tyne Of
anti-skid invented by Mlcheiin, IN
which the rubber tread r. reinforced
by n tread Of steel stuoed Rather. In
the Michelln anti-skid the leather tread
is an integral part OF the tire. and
thus does not affect tie resiliency
while the steel studs naturally wear
longer than rubber and grip better on
vet or Icy roads

Speed Craze.


That distinctly revolutionary type
OF hilarious individual known as the
speed maniac, who became particular.

automobile. now looms up as a special
menace to the motor truck industry.
Experts interested in the CONNER

possibilities declare that the driver
who throws reason to the wind in the
operation OF a truck and hits up too
fast a pace is unquestionably the most
expensive feature OF truck mainten
ance.
Tire manufacture rs in particular at.
tack the speed maniac and his meth
DDS. They argue that speeding is by
all odds the most important of all the
deteriorating influences to which tires
are subjected.

The acting V1ce- Governor introduced the
Bill. The remarks to it gave sufficient in
formation; Miss Burke was a well served
employee, and he hoped the Hon. Council
would agree with Government in granting
this support, which would amount to Frs.
900 yearly, and therefore for the Within
financial year: Frs. 5000.

would as member of the School board thank
the Government for proposing this grant,
Miss Maria Burke had been employed for
50 years, from 5th February 1862 and had
always fulfilled her duties satisfactorily, she
was now old and weak and deserved the
pension, which he therefore would recon-
mend to the Hon. Councils favour.

Dick corIey Died.

Dick Corley. the young man who
shot himself last Wednesday, with
suicidal intent, died last night at 900
p. m. Corley was employed at the
Katy depot as mail man, at the time of
the shooting and was boarding at the
home of w. H. Hockett, in the south
west part of town, where he died last
night.
The cause Of his death will be eN-
planned by the following note which
he left: Dear Nellie:--I just could
not live without you, and there was
no use to try, for you know that /
loved you better than any one on
earth, so good bye. Dick. Take my
watch and rings and any thing else
you want"
Corley's mother and father live at
Carthage, Mo-, and his mother was
here at the time of his death. He also
has a sister in the city. Mrs. Merce
Howell, and brother, Glen Corley,
working at the Vinita Creamery.
