UNITED STATES SENATOR MuL.
lANEY.

The binders were removed from
the eyes of many good Democrats
when B. J. Mullaney. the great round.
er.up of Democrats appeared at that
Peoria roundup.
People who have studied Mullaney
since he quit the grocery store In Min.
neapolis and arrived by gradual but
steady stages as tiresome sort of
writer for the Record.Herald at
Springfield. have done much talking
about the revival of Mullaney politics.
They do not forget the time when
Mullaney. who was private secretary
to Mayor Busse, ate his way into fame
with certain Democratic" exploiters
at the Sherman House restaurant.
We never knew. or never cared to
know. what Mullaney knew about the
dealings of the gang at Springfield
which he never wrote up for the Rec.
ord.Herald.
We do know that no man of our &C.
quaintance has fewer followers as a
Democrat.
We do know that he was credited
with delivering the restaurant bunch
to the Republicans.
We do know that his ample head
showed wonderful signs OF enormous
development when Mayor Busse made
him his private secretary.
We do know that this abnormal
swelling did not subside when Null
laney was made Commissioner Of Pub
lie Works by Mayor Busse.
We do know that Mullaney made
many enemies out of Republicans ant
Democrats who did not like the ganl
he trained with.
We do know that we are tired ant
sick OF this Mullaney politics, and 4
Mullaney Is the power that will move
our Senatorial politics in the future
we are against that style of politics
and don't you forget II.

Ground has been broken at the

what Is to be known as the Midway
Gardens and Garden Club. a winter
and summer concert garden, to be
constructed by the Midway Company
of which Mr. Vogelsang Is genera

improvements to cost $250,000. These
gardens, which will be located at the
head of the Midway and opposite
Washington Park, will lend an added
feature to the plans which the SOutl
Park Board have under way for the
identifying of this drive. The archi
tectural scheme, the conception o.
Frank Lloyd Wright. covers an ares
OF 300 by 800 feet, and consists of {
winter garden facing Cottage Grove
avenue and terminating at the nOrtf
and south end In picturesque belve

frances to the winter and summer gar
dens. From each belvedere extends {
two-story arcade which, with the win
ter gardens as its eastern side and thu
orchestral pavilion as its western
side, inclose the garden. The garden
is a series of three terraces defined
by ratings transformed into flower
boxes. The floral and other decorative
features which form vital part of the
whole scheme serve to bring out the
beauties OF detail and symmetry. The
winter garden embodies the same
structural features as the summer gar
den. Here, too, is the series of ter
races backed by balconies, all so ar
ranged that the whole may be cut of
at any desired terrace level, a con
struction which makes 1t possible to
adjust the size OF the winter garden

USE CHAINS FOR SAFETY,
AND PUT THEM ON RIGHT
Not Needed With Good Non-Skid Tires
Says jackson Man, If Drivers
Are Careful.

Whether you drive a car equipped
with non-skid tires or non-shid chains,
he careful-everlastingly careful-on
slippery streets, is the advice of H. B.
Bonde, the Jackson representative in
this locality. He says
According to my observation, we
all place too much confidence in chains
and non-skid tires. No difference if
you've got the best in the world, be
careful on a street slippery with mud
or water or ice. A little care doesn't
cost a cent, but a wreck car very
easily be costly in things more pre-
cious than mere money.
THE user Of chains should take car
to see that they are properly applied.
They should be loose enough to creep
or york around the circumference Of
the tire. Otherwise chains will soon
ruin the tires. Chains really should
not be used on lumpy non-skid tires,
for the reason that the projections do
not permit them to creep and they
put the tire beyond the useful point
in a short time. T.
! eff chains are used for a day or so
and then removed for a time, they
should be allowed to dry before being
put into the bag. II mud or ice clings
to them, remove it by heating the
chains on the floor of the garage,
Handled this way the metal has little
chance to rust badly. At least one set
of chains should always be carried
with the car, because they may be
needed badly when you are miles from

SOME TIRES
ARE PRODUCED

Some statistician out in the factory
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber COM
pany, Akron, Ohio. has figured out that
one weeks tire production Of the fac
tory, if piled on top of each other,
figuring an average of four inches
height per casing. would make a stack
many feet higher than Pixies Peak.
When. a month or so ago. a third
shift of workers began operations at
the Goodyear factory and the wheels
resumed their humming twenty-fOur
hours a day, the management predict
ed hat within a short time the tire
production would be 10000 a day. This
refers to pneumatic tire castings only,
and does not include the motor truck
tires, carriage tires, bicycle tires, etc,
Of which Goodyear produces a large
%quantitp. The record of tire produc-
ton for five days of the past week
shows that the 10000 a day prediction
is being rapidly made to come rue"
No Saturday figures are included here,
for the reason that Saturday after
noon is q holiday at the Goodyear FAC
tory, and there is no Saturday night
work. The weeks pneumatic tire pro-
duction ran as follows:
Monday 1896, Tuesday 8S0S, Wednes-
day 8637. Thursday 9412, Friday 9264-
a total for the five days Of 44,417 pneu-
matte tires, enough for the equipment
of more than II, 900 cars. Goodyear
men maintain that this output is more
han twice as great as that Of any
other tire factory in the world for the
same period Of time, and the figures
are pointed out as proof of the growth
of Goodyear sales.

LIKES REFLECTION
OF HIS OWN FACE.
NOT VAIN OR ESPECIALLY HAND.
SOME is THIS AUTO WORKER,
EITHER-IT'S A TEST OF ENAM-
EL-MiRROR is SURFACE OF A
sTupEBAkER FENDER.

Without being in the least vain over
his personal appearance, there is a
veteran foreman of The Studebaker
Corporations 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 de-
partner of the corporations Plant D.
Unde his direction a big force of men
is continually at work dipping in great
tanks of black enamel the enders
hoods, and other pressed steel parts
Of Studebaker cars. The parts come
completed 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 a
baking process which makes the en-
amel virtually a part of the surface.
After each dipping, hoods and fend-
ers are carefully hung in racks until
the surplus enamel has run off into
troughs, to be cleaned and used over
again. The racks and their load are
then run into the ovens.
Humphreys keeps a rowing eye on
IHf SdllE OpClo''OllS' 'uI ' i"I'"
to give his personal attention to the
tenders as they come from the final
baking.
He tests them by the accuracy and
hrilliance with which they reflect his
own honest features.
Il know about how I ought to look"
Humphreys maintains. I'm not stuck
on myself. and l make due allowances.
But these hoods and tenders have got
to tell me every time Just how bad
l need a shave. or they dom get by"
When passed by Mr.. Humphreys
unique test, a big truck takes each
batch Of hoods and tenders to another
Studebaker plant, where they meet the
complete chassis. The attachment of
these parts is the ina operation which
a car undergOes prior TO the final test
which precedes it's trip to the shipping
platform.
