saw that he was bleeding profusely
in the back. / loosened his clothes
in response to his request that Try
to ascertain how seriously he was
shot. In the meantime someone
had gone for q doctor, who soon ar
rived. He said at once that the
wound was very serious. He gave
Mr.. Kendall dypodermic iniec-
ton and did what he could in other
ways to put him at ease.
In a remarkably short periodof
time, it seemed to me, Or. ]. M.
Barnett and Dir. A Fl. Hiismans
summoned by long distance phone,
arrived in autos from Albany. They
said that the only chance for Mr..
Kendall was to get him to the hos
pital IN Albany as quickly as pos
siblc. rushed to the station to see
if the train was on time, and was
infoemrd that it would be there in
10 minutes. We got Mr.. Kendall
ready to carry him to the train,
which stopped at the street crossing
and waited 5 minutes for him. He
was put on the train, and came on
to Albany with him and others who
accompanied him."
Mr.. Smith said he knew Mr..
Kendall but slightly, having met
him several times while on the road
When the train arrived in Al
bany, Mr.. Kendall was placed in
Vannucci's ambulance and carried
Immediately to the hospital. He
was placed on the operating table,
as an operation was said to be his
only chance, his intestines being
badly punctured. It seemed from
the first, however. that there, was
no hope for the injured man. and
at 1880 he passed away.
The body was taken to Macon for
burial, leaving here at 1880 p m,
Sunday. Rev. S. f. Crosby; pas
tor Of the Albany Presbyterian
church, accompanied the funeral
party to Macon, at the request OF
the family.
The funeral was conducted Mon
day afternoon, Rev. R. E. Douglas,
pastor of the Macon First Presby-
terrain church, officiating.
The death of Mr.. Kendall was a
sad shock to his many frienda in
Albany and throughout Georgia.
He travelled in this section Of the
state for 80 years, representing dur
ing the entire time the Dunlap
Hardware Co., of Macon. Though
| he lived in Macon, he made Albany
his headquarters.
Mr.. Kendall's brother and sister,
Mr.. Sam Kendall and Miss Lena
Kendall, reside here. His wife and
two children also SURVIVE him.

ABOUT AUTO TIRES.
Full Initiation ImpOrtant-keep En-
Free Of Oil,

TOO much ,stress can not be laid
! upon the care and repair of tires dur
ing the summer months" says an auto
mobile manufacturer. Probably half
of the tire, troubles are caused by
under-inglation. When a tire is al
lowed to run flat not only is more
| surface being subjected to wear, but
the fabric is strained and broken and
the tire heats up must more quickly.
THE correct pressure may in most
cases be found by merely multiplying
the sectional diameter of the tire by
20 pounds-fOr instance 4-inch tire
should have an air pressure of 80
pounds per square inch.
In buying tires it is economy to
invest in guaranteed article, as
only an expert can judge tire by
its appearance, and it is very. very
seldom that an unguaranteed brand is
bargain.
'Non-skid tires will give greater
mileage than plain ones provided the
non-skid projections have been added
on rather than cut out of the tread
proper. While such tires prevent
skidding on wet pavements, the use
of chains becomes necessary when
driving in snow or mud.
Don't hesitate to buy new tires
when necessary. Trying to get addi-
tional mileage out of an old casing
that spells good inner tube every
few days is poor economy.
THE old adage that "a stitch in
time saves nine is 100 per cent true
in speaking of tire trouble. At regu-
lar intervals wash off the dirt and
examine the casing for cuts and bis
tiers or for taeks. nails or pieces of
glass that may have become imbedded
In the tread.
"The real strength Of a casing lies
in the fabric and when water and
dirt begin to creep in between THE
fabric and the rubber the casing will
rapidly become worthless.
THE best repairs are obtained by
thoroughly cleaning oct a cut when
it first appears and vulcanizing new
rubber into the recess. However,
temporary repairs may be made by
using some of the plastic rubber
preparation that are on the market
at the present time. Do not try to|
see how many miles you can run on a
casing without having it repaired.
Use plenty of tale on the inner side
of the casing. That will not only re-
duce friction and heat to minimum
but will absorb moisture.
AS the rear tires do the driving
they wear more rapidly than those
on the front wheels. Often it is an
advantage to Interchange the front
and rear tires. Remember that oilsl

then bring about a reconciliation with
their families" said Mrs. Wilhelmina
Barr, superintendent of the Chicago
Y. w. G. A. ut is not often diff
cult. BY the time a runaway girl has
reached Chicago she has begun tc
feel lonely. to realize her helplessness
and is ready if there is some one to
show her the way, to turn back to the
old home.
They're Wiser Girls. Now.
1.-The cases we have had this week
typify our work. Two Iowa girls,
aged sixteen and seventeen. arrived
here at night. They had only few
dollars and knew no one; they had
run away from home because life
there was too slow, they said The
aid brought them over here to our
home. and talked to them. The next
day | communicated with their par
ents. They are both back at home
now and very much wiser.
Another girl barely sixteen. whose
father is a contractor in a Chicago
suburb, was brought here few days
ago. Her mother had died and she
grew lonely and dissatisfied. She had
only 81 and told the aid she was go
ing as far as that would take her.
The girls father came here yester-
day and they wept in each others
arms. She went back home happy.
Our great aim is to work, so that
the girl can go back home without
stigma. For that reason the police
are rarely called into a case.
"Only when man recognized as a
white SLAYER meets girl at the train
has it been necessary to invoke the
aid of the police.
I'VE are very careful in the selec-
ton of the aids. They must be at
least twenty-five years old. and we
strive to find those who love the work
for the sake of the good they may do
rather than for the salary they re-
ceive. Another thing is that the aid
should speak more than one language.
Nearly all of our aids speak several
languages. and We are rarely handi-
capped for that reason"
