"a Some tires are fastened to popu-
Lar device called the demountable
rim. This is one of the greatest in
ventions of the age. 1t is called
demountable because new tire can
be put on in ten minutes by a man
from the factory, while it won't take
an automobile owner who has had
four years experience in a round
house over two hours and half. All
that is necessary is to raise the
hind, feet of the automobile out OF
twelve inches Of sand with an
instrument called jack, remove
several bolts which were driven In
with sledge, cut off the old tire
with pen knife, take off the rim
with cold chisel, fit on the new
one with an axe, put back all Of the
bolts that didn't get lost in the sand,
and then extract what is left of the
jack. This Is an exciting pastime on
q hot day, and puts everybody in q
happy mood.
A blowout is large, perpendicular
hole in a tire caused by the air
breaking out in one spot with a loud
report. The only way to repair a
blow out is to convert the tire into
chewing gum.

Tires are round, elastic limitations
of rubber which are attached to auto
mobiles for the purpose of absorbing
the bumps, thank.you-ma'a ans and
other death-dealing jolts. While they
are doing this, they also find time to
absorb q recherche collection of ten
penny nails, tin-plated tacks and
broken beer bottles, which nobody else
cares to pick up.
Tires are made up Of an expensive
grade of glucose and cheap grade OF
hope. and are guaranteed to run 5000
miles without exploding under the
spine of some guest who is riding IN
the rear seat When a man buys an
automobile the manufacturer throws
In four new tires which soon lose
both their ambition and complexion
and become infested with uneasy air:
holes known as punctures. A puncture
can easily be repaired in half day
so that it will not pune again for sew
eral miles.
Tires are filled with air which is
continually trying to escape into the
outer world. This air is pumped into
the tire by hand by an apoplectic
mental who does not care whether the
tire retains its figure or not and who
crow DIS it so full of stray air that it Is
unable to take full breath until the
owner is nine miles from a garage.

Why GIRLS LEAVE SCHOOL.

WHY GIRLS LEAVE SCNOOI. :.
The idea that children leave school
70 no to work, because their parents
need the money, Is vigorously CON-
batted In q bulletin just issued by the
United States bureau of education. The
authors of the bulletin have made a
careful study Of trade and labor con-
d,tions among girls In Worcester,
MASS, preliminary to the establish.
ment of a trade school for girls. They
find that from one-haH to three-fourths
OF the girls at work in the factories
could have had further schooling II
they had wanted to or II their parents
had cared to insist upon 1t.
The survey showed that the number
81 efrls between IA and Is years OF age
who leave school is constantly increas-
tnx. During the past five years many
E,ore girls between those ages left the
Worcester schools than can be &C
hunted for by increase In population.
only about II per cent of them had
finished the grammar schools; most OF
them left in the sixth and seventh
grades.
bulletin, conditions such as were
found in Worcester emphasize the i'm
nerative need for special training Of a
practical sort for girls between the
ages of 13 and Is. In the main the
.chthren left school simply because
New disliked the school work. Not
I ttttng the kind Of training they might
I Ave liked and would have prof1ted by,
hey blindly Joined the army of shift.
VIZ. inefficient, disconnected girls that
from one monotonous factory job to
! f,ther, and because OF their lack of
aiming, rarely rise above the class OF
Bw-patd. unskilled workers.

po,er Of Fool peeds.

Marion Register: It is said in a Des
Moines press dispatch that the legis-
lature changed the name of Memorial
day to Decoration day. What fool
thing is there that the legislature did
not do or try to do? Legislatures had
nothing to do in naming 1t Memorial
day and they have neither the right
nor the power to change it. The mem
bers of the G.. A. r. will call it Mem
orial day as long as they want to. The
day is Of soldier, not legislative origin
and so it will remain forever.
