DON'T NEGLECT A
CUT IN A TREAD
Fill it Up as Soon as Possible; Then Have

A cut in the tread, or cover Of the case
has a tendency to expand when that part OF
the tire is in contact with the road, and
dust grit pebbles and other foreign mat
ter forces itself in. With the revolution OF
the wheel and when the injured part OF
the tire is relieved Of the sight o. the
car, the foreign matter which has accumu-
lated acts as a wedge, forcing itself further
between cover and fabric not infrequently
completely separating them
If separation Of tread and fabric begins
and is neglected for any length Of time
usually it is necessary to apply an entire
new cover If the fabric is in fairly good
condition. generally this can be done IN
satisfactory manner, but IT is more prec-
teal and less expensive to attend TO the
cut when it is first made.
Frequently owners cannot understand why
tires having good covers and appearing all
right from the outside fail to give long
service, and they are astonished when they
learn from a repair man that it is not
practical to rebuild.
This often is due to water working
through neglected cuts in the cover and
causing decay and disintegratiOn Of the
fabric The fabric is the real foundation
and strength Of the tire and therefore it is
highly important that it be protected

MOTOR MUSEUM
OPENED IN LONDON
Interesting and Valuable Collection Of Early
Types Put on View In Crys-
tai Palace.

ITDeg Put on view IL LAg8-
tai Palace.
There has recently taken place in London
an event Of much significance in the auto
mobile industry the opening OF motorcar
museum in the Crystal palace; It has been
suggested that a similar collection Of the
types which marked the infancy Of the in
dustry in which the United States now
stands supreme might well be brought to-
gether in tbis country The material is rot
lacking. Already in the smithsonian insti-
tute in Washington one OF the earliest
practical American motor cars-dating
from 1892-9S-is on view, and last month
in INDIANAPOLIS a number Of models from 10
to Is years old made an interesting section
Of a manufacturers parade. Commenting
on the opening Of the museum in London,
the Morning Post says:
Visitors to the Crystal palace in future
will have brought home to them in fulI
force the fact that so quickly do conditions
Of modern life change, 20 years work in one
industry-that Of the motor car-has neces-
STATED the opening OF a museum. Two
courts in the great glass house at Svden-
ham are now given over TO a particularly
interesting exhibition Of the earliest ex-
amples Of mechanically propelled vehicles
So much a part Of ordinary everyday life
have motor cars and motor omnibuses be-
come that the collection Of cars and cycles
at the Crystal palace appears to be made
up Of relics Of a far distant age That few
Of them are more than 20 years old seems
almost beyond belief.
''The museum was originally founded by
the Motor, but its new home enables every
exhibit to be properly displayed. Among the
things to be seen is the first motor cab
licensed to ply for hire in London, which
was electrically propelled, and in which, in
1897, the late King Edward, then prince Of
Wales was driven from Marlborough house
to Buckingham palace and back There are
also examples Of the predecessors OF the
present day motorcycle and cycle car-the
latter with a baslSetwork body-an early
steam tricycle., built in 1881 and the steam
car, which was constructed by Col. r. c.
Crompton as far back as 1861 in the times
when such a conveyance had to be preceded
by a man carrying a red flag"

The painstal1lng manner in which the new
wage scale was evolved and the thorough
way IN which the entire plan Is being for

significant relates TO the handling Of en-

Auto Worker, but Tenders Mast Reflect
His COunten0nce to Pass.
Without being in the least vain over his
personal appearance, there Is veteran
foreman Of the Studebaker Detroit staff,
who admits to looking at the reflection OF
his own face several hundred times each
day.
Tom Humphreys is his name. he bosses
operations in the enameling department OF
the corporations plant s.. Under his direc-
tiOn a big force Of men is continually at
work dipping in great tanks OF black
enamel the tenders, hoods and other pressed
steel parts of cars. The parts come com
pleted and polished from another part Of
the plant, where they have been pressed to
shape from the cold sheet steel It's up to
Humphreys and his men to give them the
luster
Enameling is accomplished by three
baths, each Of which is followed by q bak-
ing process which makes the enamel vtrtu-
ally part Of the surface.
Humphreys keeps a rowing eye on the
early operations, but never fails to give his
close personal attention to the tenders as
they come from the final baking.
He tests them by the accuracy and bril-
lance with which they reflect his own
features

Humphreys maintains. I'm not stuck on
myself and I make due allowances. It isn't
my own beauty that interests me anyhow.
But these hoods and tenders have got to

How many suitors seek the prize
That sparkles from Bedela'b eyes?
How many victims share the trance
That flashes from Bedelias glance?
hundred swans can pledge their hearts,

That for their wounds, they blame those
darts.
A zephyr from a perfun1ed sky,
Describes Bedelia passing by.
In sllken garments flashd with green,
Bedclia looks the charming queen;
And Galley youths demurely sing,
wish were Bedeila's king.
In waltz or tango. face to face,
Bedeiia looks a dream of grace.
In two-step, or in tete-a-tete,
She spins her partners off their feet,
And make them long for alcove rest
To heave the question from their breast.
II courage fail. they seek her home,
To pop the question In the gloom;
And In her parlor meekly wait,
To hear how fortune seals their fate.
But all at once the air grows blue,
While Papa toots his forty-two.

The Wav 70 Get a workhOuse.

Among the official announcements OF the
Commercial club is that its legislative commit
tee is busy considering bill to be submitted at
the coming Nebraska legislature for the estab-
lishment OF a municipal workhouse. Now, The
Bee has been. and is, strongly in favor OF pub
lie workhouse or work farm. preferably one In
which city and county join in the expense OF
construction and maintenance. but we are under
the impression that all the legislation needed for
this purpose was enacted at the last session, and
is now on the statute books.
The measure we refer to may be found In the
1919 session laws being a bill sponsored by
Senator Dodge OF this county. This law. as may
be readily ascertained by anyone who takes the
trouble to read It, authorizes this county to vote
bonds not exceeding 100000. to acquire by pur-
chase or condemnation the land necessary for a
county farm and to erect a workhouse, or house
OF correction. on It. and provides for the super
vision and management OF the institution. II
also empowers the county commissioners to en-
ter into an agreement with any city of the
metropolitan class, or of the first-class located
in the county. to receive and keep in the work
house, or house OF correction, any person SEN
fenced to II by any court or magistrate In the
cities
The point we wish to make Is this: That
the last legislature was led to- believe II en-
acting a measure fully meeting our situation.
yet having done nothing whatever to take ad-
vantage OF IT, TO so back to the coming legisla-
ture with another bill for a municipal farm is
calculated TO impress the lawmakers either that
We do not know what we want or that our de-
sires so no further than to have a law written
on the statute books. aud keep changing 1t every
two years. II workhouse is wanted in Doug

the authority already conferred by the legisla-
ture.

Long Ballot Absurdities.

our good friends who manifest suspicion
that the agitation for a short ballot Is a reac-
tionary movement may reassure themselves IL
the character OF the support back Of the demand
counts. The National Short Ballot organization
numbers among its active members and on It's
official roster, prominent men in all political
parties, including the president OF the United
States, who, however, enlisted for the short bal
lot while he was still president Of Princeton, and
before he was known to harbor political ambi-
lions And here comes the Springfield Repub-
ncsn, the acknowledged leader OF advanced
thought in New England, and newspaper OF
exceptional breadth and independence OF view,
with the suggestion that the short ballot is a
necessary complement to pending changes in
political methods and processes suggestion
II voices In these words
In diminishing the control OF nominations by
party organizations ought not the state to diminish
also the number of nominations to be made and the
frequency with which they must be made? An
affirmative answer TO that question would mean the
shortening OF the ballot by reducing the number of
elective officers and the substitution OF biennial foi
annual elections The primary system Of direct nom
nations will work best ~ there few candidates
nominated. The short ballot has already won
popular approval I'm New York state and II will be
adopted by the coming state constitutional conven-
tion. The state ticket annually chosen In Massachu'
sets Is too long like that OF New York and the
shortening OF II would 60 far 20 insure the perma-
nent success or the direct nomination system. ny
adopting biennial elections. Massachusetts woulT re-
leve burden upon the voters that Is entirely need
less in Itself for - is absurd TO assume that deoc-
rscy is really sacrificed by having officials serve two
years Instead Of one
The only argument that is being seriously
urged against the short ballot is that 1t weakens
popular rule by converting elective into ap-
pointive office, but Il is Just as absurd to as
sumo that democracy is really sacrificed by hay
ing fewer officials elected. and responsibility
more conferred. as that It would be sacrificed as
the Republican ridicules, by electing state OIL
cials In Massachusetts, 20 serve two years instead
Of one. II democracy we're what the critics OF
the short ballot say It is, we would have to make
every person on the public payroll elective by
popular vote, and not only that, but make their
terms as short as possible so that we could keep

The New Crop Of lame Ducks.

Our democratic friends had a good deal Of
fun at the republicans expense two years ago
over the lame duck brigade. but me laughs best
who laughs last" and some of these very same
crippled birds OF 1912 will be on hand to cackle
at the hegra OF democrats when the next con-
gress convenes, while they watch the outgoing
procession. led by such august figures as Palmer
OF Pennsylvania. Stanley OF Kentucky, Mitchell
OF Massachusetts,. As a matter OF fact, the re-
publicans gained seventy-four seats in the lower
house. which. together with few promotions to
the senate. means the passing OF one-third Of
the twenty-one members Of the appropriation
committee, one-fourth OF the judiciary, one-third
OF the banking and currency. including the four
members ranking next to the chairman. and one
third each Of the foreign affairs, Indian, inter-
state commerce and public lands committees
Not in many biennial hunts have such enormous
quantities OF game been bagged as this year
And, as We have intimated, the lsmeness of the
old democratic ducks is all the more marked by
reason OF the fact that so many OF the old re-
publican ducks have flown back safely into the
coop.
