GIVE TIRES AS GOOD CARE AS
THE MOTOR.
Proper Attention viii Enable Car
Owners to Get Much Greater
Mileage.

mo part of an automobile is more
abused than the tires. Where one
man drives carefully thinking Of them
a hundred drive heedlessly without
consideration for the damage to both
the tubes and the shoes which is
sure to result said Sales Manager
J. d. Anderson of the United States
Tire Company the other day.
when we consider the great care
the engine receives from the car
owner and the trouble he takes to
insure proper fabrication, cooling, ad-
iustment and all that contributes to
Its economical and efficient opera
ton; it is remarkable how seldom
one is found who will give the tires
on his car real chance to make the
maximum mileage
The care of tires and their con
seryation should be vitality interest
ing subject to car owners, yet many
seem to think any effort by tire man
ufacturers to tell them how to get
more mileage is unnecessary, as
well as uncalled for.
"The care of the tires does not
take much time nor call for arduous
labor Under imitation, neglect of cuts,
grease left on casingss running in car
tracks, speeding around corners,
breaking with needless severity, driv-
ing with chains particularly broken
or badly worn chain) and permitting
the car to remain uniaoked when in
dead storage, allowing wheels to re-
main out OF alignment ehese are
the ordinary causes of tire trouble.
"If the majority OF our customers
would spare their tires these hard
ships they wouId increase materially
the mileage service.
"Of course long tire mileage can
only be had from high quality tires.
I know that the users of United
States tires are getting more mileage
today than ever before for constant
improvement in the manufacturing
method have enabled US to supply
them with tires better than any in
past years though possible, till every
motorist could eliminate material
part of his tire expense by showing
his tires the same consideration that
ne gives to his motor and transmits.

WHY RAILROADS.

The question is often asked, Why
do we have railroads? There have
been many answers to the question,
but 1t would appear the true answer
$, ITO provide places for individuals
who are expert in deceivlng the PEG
pie as to time trains viii arrive and
to avoid making connections at juno
tions." This answer is the correct
one as will be proven by large ma
iority Of the people And therein lies
much of the hostility of the people to
railroads, Of which managers com
plain
1t is said railroad officials earnestly
strive to arrange schedules so as to
accommodate the greatest number Of
people 1t is believed this is tho
truth But Of What use are schedules
If tsainmen and station official, see
to it that connections are not made
and If station agents constantly de
ceive the people as to the time when
trains will arrive?
1t is an unpleasant task to make
this statement, but It is fact that
there are many complaints on the
part OF the people in this city as to
the almost utter impossibility to OBJ
tain accurate information as to the
arrival of trains Frequent inquiries
by telephone and otherwise are al
most invariably answered "On time, "
when as matter of fact trains are
late, often as much as half an hour
or more There is a law on this sub
iect and the people expect the rail
loads % comply with it when it costs
nothing, but it is ignored
Another point The general un-
derstanding is that Train No. 40, B.
& O., will connect with the north
bound train on the n & w. at Shen-
andoah Junction. II frequently hap
pens that 40 is a few minutes late
as it was last Sunday. TO be exact
it was eight minutes late. There
were three passengers enroute to
Shepherdstown, possibly more. some
of whom were assured by the con
ductor that connection would be
made. but it was not, the n. & w
train pulling out not more than a
minute or two before the arrival Of
40. Those three passengers were
compelled 10 hire a private convey
ance HAD they known what was in
store for them. they would have re
NAMED at home And to make the
matter worse, the N. & w train
spent about. at least, ten minutes at
the water station at Shepherdstown.
When the conductor was asked why
he did not wait he said the b. & o..
did not notify him Thus the in
quiry, "who is TO blame?'
Another grievance is the miserable
conditions that exist at Shenandoah
Junction. Eastbound trains stop on
the curve. the cars tilting over until
the lower step is at least two feet
from the ground 1t is almost i'm
possible for man to climb on or
jump off and more difficult for wom-
en- And to add to the difficulty and
danger there are almost always
freight cars standing on the siding

time Of the deadlock in the State
Senate. last winter, Mr. Woods was
the only man on either side who
could command sufficient support to
be elected President of the Senate.
/ He was the choice Of the thinking
men of both parties, who were more
interested in the welfare of the State
than partisan politics. 1t is due to
