CARE OF AUTOMOBILE TIRES

The profe.aor in charge of auto
mobiles and other motors at the Ne
brarka College of Agriculture offers
the following suggestions regarding
the care of automobile tires.
The large percentage of tire trou-
BILE is due to lack of sufficient air
pressure. Pressure should be main
tanned at 20 pounds per inch of tire
diameter. Thus, a four-inch tire
should have a pressure of 80 pounds.
The heating of the tire when in use
should not be depended upon to in
crease the air pressure sufficiently if
it is much less than that required at
the time Of starting.
There is little danger of having
too high a pressure on new tire, as
ever average sized tire is tested to
200 pounds before being sold.
If tires are old, judgment must be
used in maintaining the normal
pressure. If two strands of the fab
! =, az left, however, the pressure of
20 pounds per inch of diar'eter may
be maintained.
Tires ould always be kept from
the dir = ays of the sun when pos
sib'e. effort should be made
to kee iture from the fabric of
the rub Tire dough is useful in
keeping ure out of the cracks
and is noC Y expensive.

dren with pay ranging around So a
week has given the Rosenwald plant
the nickname of Cradle Robber."
A force of doctors and nurses is
employed to examine employees for
tuberculosis. A small hospital has
been fixed up for the use of girls who
get played out on the job. Work 'em
down and then rest 'em up, but don't
pay 'em while you rest 'em is the
policy. 1t has resulted in the workers
changing a "w' to an ''h" and calling
it "hellfare" system.
Donations to Y. M. C. A. estab-
lishments for the rehabilitation of the
negro race are among the most wide
ly heralded philanthropies of Rosen-
wald. He is a hacker of the Public
Efficiency Bureau and is closely asso-
ciated with Victor Lawson, publisher
of the Daily News, in making the
world better: Also, he is classed as a
financial supporter of the Municipal
Voters League.
Early in February, the Rosenwald
secretaries gave out word that he
was paying money to form an organi-
cation that would save humanity
from loan sharks. The week after
this happened one of Sears, Roebuck
& Co. employees was a witness at an,
inquest over his wife. She killed her
self because another child was COM

short and it was hard drag to get
along and feed the four children and
two adults. The husband testified
that he was shipping clerk at Sears,
Roebuck & Co. and his whole income
for his family of six was $1S week.
That $13 a week certainly makes no
showing against Rosenwald's $780,
900 a year.

himself on the Henry Ford plan of
sharing profits,

INCOME TAX RETURNS
The richest man in Chicago, so far
as income tax returns show, is Jul
Jus Rosenwald. He cleaned up net
income of $1,100,00O for the ten
months ending Dec, 81, 1918. At
this rate, the amount of cash that
flowed into his possession during the
year 1913 was $1,320,000.
Nobody else among income tax
payers comes within whispering dis
lance Of Julius The largest return
filed before Rosenwald kicked in with
his report was $75O,0O0. Just now
Rosenwald is on an ocean liner COM
ing back from Europe.
Rosenwald's $1,320,000 a year
traces back to a system he organized
for selling things by mail.
Besides enormous profits cleared
from selling rat traps and wagons to
farmers by mail and dried prunes and
sewing machines to farmers wives,
the Rosenwald income is also related
to the wage situation.
Some 5000 workers are employed
at the big plant on the West Side.
Wages are at such rate that Sears,
Roebuck & Co. regularly every day
must run advertisements in the Daily
News.
Every morning a jam of several
hundred applicants is looked over by
the Rosenwald employment experts
and new workers are picked out to
take the places of the dozens who
quit every day dissatisfied with wages
and hours and shrewd efficiency
system that saps the workers.
Correspondents, stenographers,
shipping clerks, wrappers and pack
ers, hands of some sort are called for
every day in advertisements.
Much of the work required is
purely mechanical.

as well as the fingers of grown man
or woman.

Any one who has read Vaughn

tains the necessary material for a
really great American play. and that
it would eventually be produced as a
drama was a foregone conclusion. The
reader is also aware that to do the
play properly. a large cast of players
and heavy scenic production would be
required. so when the statement is
made that a corporation with plenty
Of financial resources was formed for
the express purpose of producing and
exploiting The Prodigal Judge" the
reason can be readily understood. as
few individual theatrical managers
are in a position to take a production
of this magnitude, or care to take the
risk
However, The Prodigal Judge Com
pany. Inc, are sure to draw big divi-
dends, as the play had drawn capacity
audiences at every performance since

Flo Irwin got lots of applause. She
is a sister of the famous May Irwin
and like her in many ways Both

who are familiar with the instru-
ment. She has mastered il in great
shape. The comedy work of Bernard
