The Life and the Light.

The most simple and clear. yet the most
beautiful and majestic utterance ii is pos
sible to make concerning Christ is COM
prised in the words of the Apostle John
John, 1:4D. I'm Him was life: and the
life was the light of men,
We can conceive no higher attribute
in any being than that of infinite life
shining forth as the light of men.
In this thought of Christ we realize
that in Him there can be no limitations
Of knowledge, power or goodness in His
ministry 10 both the temporal and spir-
ltual wants of man. Christ, thus revealed
In the Scriptures as the life and light
Of the world, appeals TO man in the
death and darkness by which He is other
wise surrounded.
That il is true that Christ is the life
and the light of men We do not under
take To prove by argument. 1t is the
divine personality of Christ manifestine
Itself in enlightenins and purifying power
as seen by quickened spiritual vision. like
the beauty and fragrance of flowers and
the light of the sun are seen and known
by the natural senses.
IL is in looking at Christ Himself tina,
We discover the truth that lin Him is
the life and the light of men" So tran.
scendent is the light shining through al
Of the great life of Christ that men may

De Lisser on Tires.

Racing is a test of tires on account
of two points, heat and speed. Fast
folks realize that ordinary road driv-
ing in the summer weather may be
just as much heat test for tires as
when they are on racing cars
When the sun shines hot and tour
ing car is bowling along a smooth
road at high rate of sped the tires
are being tried as much as if they
were rolling fast around a track or
speedway.
Therefore. the tire manufacturer
who doesn't build tires for racing pur-
poses has to meet nearly the same,
If not exactly the same. call on his
product when summer weather comes.
There is figured into the construction
of the best tires a margin of strength
to take care of all conditions. ordinary
and extraordiary, that may be met
in various temperatures and speeds"

"One day my chauffeur was taken

Tire or TYre2

Our English cousins, from the begin
ming Of the motor car industry, have
insisted in spelling the word used to
denominato the accessory with which
an automobile wheel is shod tyre"
In general, our mother tongue is per-
haps used with a little more care in
the land of it's origin than with us, but
in this particular case the weight of
authority seems to point to the Ameri-
can usage tire" as being the correct
one. The Imperial dictionary defines
tyre as " preparation of rice and
milk us'd by the East Indians" The En-
cyclopedia Britannica spells the word
tire and further says that tyre" is
mo longer accepted by the best Eng
lish authorities and is unrecognized
in America" For once we seem to
have the best of our friends on the
other side, though possibly this is
merely because we are producing
some 100000 tires per year, while
they are turning out certainly not
more than 100000 tyres.

Installing STORAGE Batteries

One of the chief causes of injury to
storage batteries is the jolting they re-
ceive when the car is passing over
rough roads. The cases containing the
cells frequently become strained or
chafed allowing some of the solution
to leak out or the active material in
the plates becomes dislodged These
troubles may be overcome when fit
ting battery boSes to the machine by
making the container larger than the
battery and forcing between the latter
and walls of the box small alright
rubber balls, such as children play
with. These will hold the battery in
place firmly and absorb all shocks.

Wasted Fuel,

A great deal of fuel is wasted in
overcoming unnecessary chassis fric-
ton. Bent front and rear axles, mis-
aligned wheels and steering connec-
tions, dragging brakes and improperly
inflated tires are common causes.
Axle spindles should, of course, be
Strengthened and wheel bearings
should be adjusted to turn freely, yet
without unnecessary looseness. 1t is
a good plan to feel of the brake drums
occasionally after a brisk run, coast
ing to a stop, of course, without ap.
plying the brakes. If the drums are
heated from running, the brakes are
dragging and should be loosened.

SO that it will now be able to handle
100 tons of crude ore per twenty-four

R. w. Foote shipped two carloads OF
crude zinc blende ore to chemical
company in Kansas. The ore was
from the Bullion King mine on Glib
son hill. Two miners are breaking
the ore from the three foot thick
blanket vein.
The Gold and Silver Dollar property
up Ute creek, has been entered among
the shippers of the Idaho Springs dis
trict. A shipment of ten tons of first
