Tire makers know that more eVils

casing and tube are in no condition

A feature of the Locomobile exhibit
is the 'little six, which has created

difference between the smaller and

unnecessary wear is caused by start
too abruptly. The practise of putting
on breaks with bang may make a
more 'racy" looking stop. but the
road surface "chews' a section off
the tread of a tire each time this
is done.
Sometimes one brake drags while
the other is running free, and the
tire on one rear wheel has most of
the work of stopping the car. This
costs money. Brakes should be look

It sometimes seems as if the maker
of automobile tires works harder to
insure good service to the car owner
than the automobilist does to get 1t

manufacturer constantly issues warn
ings against practises that tend to
shorten the life of a casing-tips
which. if followed, make the tire go
miles further.

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
PLANNING TO PURCHASE
SUPPLIES BY WHOLESALE

WASHINGTON-A novel system
for purchasing supplies has been de-
vised by the officials of the District of
Columbia and in the coming session
Congress will be asked to furnish the
money to put it into operation.
The scheme involves the establish
ment of a communal warehouse and
special bureau which will have su-
pervision over all the purchases made
by the local government. This bureau
will buy supplies in wholesale lots
store them until needed and then dis
tribute them to the branches of the
district service.
In other words, the District of Co.
lumbia is to have its own department
store, carrying everything from school
books to cement. and plans thereby
not only to save thousands of dollars
annually, but also to point the way
for other cities to improve their own
systems.
Up to the present time the methods
followed by the capital officials have
been much like those in vogue with
other municipalities. Requisltions for
supplies are made out by the various
departments, forwarded to the pur-
chasing agent, and then made the
subject of orders to local merchants
and to supply houses.
Objections to this procedure have
been made however. Time has been
consumed for the various orders to
go the rounds demanded by official
red tape and often the local merchants
have been out of stock. Under this
system, too, the ristrict has been al
ways buying at retail prices, and the
supplies when received in the district
have been passed upon only by jani-
tors and under officials instead of
competent inspectors.
! A short time ago, the local govern
ment tried an experiment in buying
its street supplies. 1t secured $780,
600 purchasing fund from Congress.
bought bricks, sand, cement and paw
ing blocks, at low prices and then re-
sold them gradually to the street de-
partment The result of this expert
ment was very satisfactory and on the
strength of this the proposition IJr a
central warehouse to handle all sup
plies has been formed.
In one year, the district buys over
$685. 900 worth of supplies. These in
clude stationery. lumber, furniture
hardware, groceries, paints and dry
goods. Under the warehouse plan, a
number of advantages will be en-
joyed 1t is declared. In the first place
all supplies will be ordered in large
lots at wholesale prices. In many
cases advertisement for bids will bt
made. These goods will be received
at single point and inspected b!
competent inspectors, and put in stor,
age.
