The Exclusive Set.

I'VE have been warned not to be pro-
vncial in our prayers, thinking exclusive
ly Of ourselves ard our own little circle"
said an observant clubwoman. but in
tbs sense how frightfully provincial So
ciety is, Those outside its magic circle
are, to those within, ;ust barely men and
women. They are the crowd, the public,
that can usually be safely ignored. The
crowd gapes on society. Society is. in
this sense, more provincial than the
crowd. Its gaze is turned within upon
itself"

Robert H. Martin, manager Of the Buick
branch here.
Looking toward standardizing the
entire department with one make of

twenty-five Bucks In the Boston fire

I'm asking Mayor Fitzgerald for per-
mission to make this big purchase at
private sale instead Of by public bids,
Commissioner Cole said that, In his
opinion, II was altogether probable that
the lowest bid was not likely to be the
best machine for the department.
Anybody can see the advantage OF

Cole. Suppose a driver Ii transferred

TIRE IMPROVEMENTS
KEEP UP AVERAGE
This Years Innovations Will Be
Noticeable at Big New York
Exhibition.
By CHARLES E. DURYEA.

Each year sees at the automobile
shows some Improvement In tires which
may sdd to safety, the life Of the tire
or comfort 10 the passenger. The four
teenth national automobile show, in the
Grand Central Palace. New York, Janu-
cry $40. will reveal a number Of new
features in tire construction. which will
be Of interest to Washington motorists
who visit the exhibition.
Tire manufacturers have spent years
experimenting and improving their prod.
ucts. and the end Is not yet ut hand.
Tires and tubes have been greatly i'm
proved during the last few years.
The automobile owning public is vital
ly interested In tires. Cars are 50 well
built nowadays that one does not have
to worry greatly about broken parts
end undue wear. But tires, no matter
how Gcod their quality. are good for
only few thousand mtlss, when they
must be replaced. and 1t Is the cost of
tires that seems to annoy motorists
more thar any other cost connected
with the car. The prices Of tires vary
ana nuctuate. Until q few years ago
there were but few standard makes.
Now car owners are finding QUO through
experience that some Of tho newer
makes Of tires are Of high quality and
give good service.
When people are talking about auto
mobiles (tali1ing car. as It "a termed,,
the conversation Invariably switches 10
the subject Of tires, and comparieon Of
makes Is frequent Hence 1t 10 no won-
sshtbts AZ hsss ere s interest in tire
Perhaps the most notable features Of
recent seasons are the improvements In
tire treads. Figured and roughened
