Dodgers Try His Patience.

But it is the artful dodgers that try
his patience and his adjusting ability
They come in with ragged castings that
even an amateur in tire lore could see
had thousands of miles and blandly claim
that the poor abused shoe had seen only
an asphalt run of several hundreds.
However. your salesman adjuster does
not let them get away with 1t. The
latter type get the same fair treatment
as the man who makes an honest state
ment of his mileage, and eventually they
abandon the ranks of those who expect
to get something for nothing.
As rule the adjuster leans toward the
consumer. His business is to keep the
latter satisfied and he well knows that
his company is not looking to get thu
best of it but to retain the good viii
of the customer.

distance from Washington to the county
seat is 155 miles.
Passing through the main street of
Rockville paralleling the electric car
tracks, right turn is made at the top
of the hill in the direction Of Washing
ton Grove, less than five miles distant.
The road is of the macadamized type and
always in splendid condition for motor
ing. About four miles out dirt road,
bearing to the right and connecting with
the macadam roadway. takes the motor
ist over In the direction of Washington
Grove, which is reached after short
run from the main pike. Turning to the
left when near the railroad station the
road is followed for short distance,
when right turn is made, and the
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road crossed over wooden bridge.
Turning to the left after crossing the
bridge, the macadam road is again picked
up and at the first fork in the road
turn to the right taken for Laytonsville.
From here on the trip is made over what
is known as the Laytonsville pike. the
town bearing that name being situated
about six miles beyond Washington
Grove.

Give Accurate Account.

If casing happens to give less than
the usual mileage, the adjusters talents
are brought into play. whereby the owner
is fitted out with a new one at price
based on the seriousness of the defect, or
sometimes on the mileage attained de-
Quoted from a set mileage basis.
An out-and- out defect presents itself to
the adjuster at once, but 1t is In the
claimed mileage attained that the play
of wits takes place. Considering the great
number Of motor cars in use, 1t Is aston
ishing how many owners give an accu-
rate account of their tire mileage, and
what is more, in the greatest percentage
of cases. the adjuster's estimate figures
up with those recorded on the speed
ometers.
Here is where his technical knowledge
is brought into play. Your adjuster is
highly trained in the seats of manufact-
ure, and he can tell by the feel of the
casing, the rubber remaining on the
tread and his deductions from the an
swers of the claimant just how far the
fire in uueStiOn ran.

Truck Replaced Nine Teams.

The individual boards making up the
load are handled only once and-more
important still-the motor truck is never
held up. The investment Is never idle.
1t is productive during every working
hour of the day. Two department stores
are using trucks of the same make and
size. It costs one firm 10 cents per
package to deliver. the other firm cents
the difference due to loading systems.
In road construction work in Wiscon-
sin a certain automatic dumping truck
replaced nine teams. The truck was load
ed with crushed rock from overhead hop
pers and when run to the point of de-
livery dumped in II seconds. BY this
plan it was possible to avoid costly waits
at each end of the line and the truck
was worked at maximum efficiency.

AUTO TIRE ADJUSTER
IS misunderstood
His Position Likened to That
of a Base Ball
Umpire.

There is one man in the automobile
business that the public does not hear
much about-the adjuster for the tire
manufacturer. He is mystery to the
great bulk of the motor car owning pub
lie. and a target for the wiles of the un-
scrupulous His position. summed up in
brief is much on a par with that OF an
umpire in a world series. and many a
time, like Connolly in the game at Phila-
delphfa. when he called out Strunk at the
plate and the latter hollered, he has +
chide the kicker with the word behave.
And yet this same adjuster is about tbs
most human being connected with the
business. and is often misunderstood b,
motor car owners. In the first place
your adjuster must necessarily be an ex
pert on his subject. as hit-and-miss de
cisions would do irreparable injury to botf
the public and the tire concern.

From Colorado Springs comes the

Wisconsin threw the convention Of
governors into an uproar when he

who wrote the Constitution were in

out that he himself was not one of
those who believed any such thing.

full scheme to enable legislators to do
nothing that has ever beep devised.

'em, and made beds for two or three
of the boys up in the attic.
"Their oldest boy. Peter, slept up
there, and he was sleepy head if

hands full-she couldn't climb that
ladder to yank him out of bed as
easily as you do your Joseph.
"One winter morning Peter hoped

foot down between two boards that

but neither Peter nor his father ever
seemed to ind the time.
"One morning Mrs. Siler had an
idea; 1t occurred to her after a full
hour Of trying to get Peter to get out
of bed and come down and eat his
breakfast so that he might not be late
again in going to work.
After everybody was gone that
morning Peters mother went in and
managed somehow to climb the lad

Peters cot directly over the hole he
had made.
Next morning she called the young
man once, then again. and then the
third time. Peter didn't make the
slightest sound. Then his mother
went and got the broom, climbed up
on chair and began to poke with the
broom handle at the bottom OF Peters
bed. 1t was only a cot bed, you re-

that hereafter the monthly bulletin
enumerating the list of such accidents
will publish the age as well as the
name of the fair sufferers.
Another practical protest originated
with a large manufacturing plant in
New Britain, Conn, where several
hundred young women stenographers
and clerks received polite notices in
their pay envelopes that the slit skirt,
the hobble and the diaphanous skirt are
all banned from their establishment,
and that in the future each girl will be
expected to appear for work in bust
nesslike and modest clothes. This not
unreasonable requirement is reform
which may be inaugurated at pleasure
by any firm or corporation employing
large numbers of young women with
effects which can hardly be other than
commendabie.
There are those who criticise current
styles, especially the build of the
skirt, on the ground that they are I'M
graceful and inartistie, and for this
view, too, there is something to be
said. But the fundamental objection
is that stated by Superintendent Spind-
Ter, that whatever infringes on girls
modesty puts the girl in danger. The
very worst of all the deplorable as
poets Of current fashion is that blunt
ing Of the sensibilities which comes to
girl by constant violation of her nat
ural instinct Of modesty.
Modesty and a sense of personal
aloofness in young girl are more than
gifts and attractions, they are safe
guards divinely implanted, and should
be fostered and respected rather than
tempered with The girl who can suf-
