Deception Alleged in Regard to
English Tires.
STAMPED SIZES MlSLEAD
John De Palma, Brother of
Ralph, Entering Exten-
sively Into Racing.

Warm competition in the pneumatic
tire business in England has led, It is
alleged, to a method OF deception that
seriously affects the users. Many conf
plants have been made that the tire
diameters are not properly stamped by
the makers, thus leading retailers and
users to believe that they are handling q
better tire than IS actually furnished The
proof, OF course, comes in the failure Of
the tires to give the mileage that they
should
The matter Is understood to be now in
the hands OF committee Of the Royal
Automobile Club, which is investigating
and which will make statement in the
course of time. Tire prices on the Eng
lish market have been cut at various
times, and this is said to be the way in
which profits have been maintained with
out lowering the quality OF the goods.
Some OF the complaining buyers say that
the tires measure as much as ten mllli-
metres below the figures stamped
l.. b. Kilbourne. business associate OF
Charles Y. Knight, Of sleeve valve en-
gine fame, will return this week from an
extended trip through the British Isles
and on the Continent, bringing with him
interesting data on the trend OF manu-
featuring among foreign automobile maxi
ers, some prophesies on the development
Of the wire wheel and a set Of these
wheels TO be utilized IN touring in III
nois and adjoining states
Immediately upon his return Mr.. Kill
bourne will have delivered to him hs old
Silent Knight touring car, with the origi-
nal Knight engine-the prototype OF the
motors that are utilized in the equipment
Of Knight daimler Mercedes, Minerva,
Sigma and Panhard cars. 1t has been
rebuilt for his use In touring. The old
motor Is credited with record OF con-
sideraoly more than fifty thousand miles.
John De Palma, better known as
'Ralph's brother" IS endeayoring TO fcl-
low In the footsteps of the famous track
champion. Tomorrow he will drive at
track meet at Scranton, Penn, using the
Mercer which Ralph campaigned last
season. The following Saturday lie will

his debut only couple OF weeks ago st

courses, having sometimes acted as
Ralph's mechanician. In the first meet in
which he drove John scored three second
places and third, which vas not bad
FOR a starter, considering that he had

much heavier machines IN some OF the
events.

PLAY SPIRITED POLO GEERS SCORES TWICE
Wins with Pee Wee and Dude
ArChdaIe at Detroit.

Detroit, July &.--Veteran Ed Geers, al
ways the favorite of the crowd, justified
the confidence OF his admirers at the
opening of the Grand Circuit meet at the
State Fair grounds this afternoon by
driving his two starters TO victory. Pee
Wee taking the 2:l6 trot and Dude Arch
dale the 2:07 trot, both in straight heats.
The days racing was spirited, the fastest
time OF the year was made, and the
horses generally considered best In three
of the four races failed to win first
money.
A new method in starting the horses
was tried this afternoon for the first
time on Grand Circuit tracks and met
with instant approval About a hundred
yards back OF the distance stand wide
tape. something like the barrier on
running track, was stretched across the
track The result was a considerable re-
duction IN the time usually consumed in
getting the felds away.

Indication Of Character

Insincerity in dress Is a very good
indication of other kinds of insinceri-
ty, and if woman's lingerie does not
accord with her dresses. you may be
pretty sure that her actions win not
accord with her words.
There is, besides, nothing SO salts
flying as the feeling of being we'll
dressed all the way through. There
is nothing which gives such perfect
poise and grace as the consciousness
OF well-ftting endorsements and a
petticoat Of which one need not be
ashamed. The woman who puts all her
spending money into the things that
show" feathered hats, silk gowns,
chiffon blouses, etc, and is willing to
60 about wearing the cheapest OF IN
derskirts and stockings, Is rather like
the hypocrite who could carry a whole
load Of secret sins hidden beneath a
smiling countenanca.

AT meeting of the Linnean society
Of London, Professor Poulton presid-
ing, letter was read from Herr Paul
Schsrdlin, as follows: For hundreds
Of years pigeons have nested on the
spire of Strassburg cathedral. They
increased SO much that many at
tempts have been made to extermi-
nate them, but in vain. During the
last few years there has been a sud
den and startling diminution in the
number of these cathedral pigeons. /
am Of the opinion that this manifest
reduction is due to the asphalting OF
the streets round the cathedral. Be
tween the stone sets OF the pavement
the pigeons were able to pick up food
In quantity. In consequence OF the
asphalting and daily watering and
cleansing Of the places in the immedi.
ate neighborhood the birds have
gone"
