PROBABLY no organization in recent

encouragement that has been the lot Of
1.-THE International Congress of Farm
Women" Its objects and ideals are of
the highest, and the ends that it hopes
to attain are worthy Of all effort and
support necessary to carry them to q
complete realization. The congress was
born Of the needs Of better social and
economical conditions in rural homes
1t is the ultimate hope of those direct
ing the work Of the congress to make
the work Of the woman on the farm,
in her every day labor, just as pleasant
as is the work Of the woman in the
city who has every modern convenience
at hand. Generally speaking, there is
no good reason why this hope cannot
be attained. The most modern machin.
cry for the easy accomplishment Of the
man. g work on the farm is to be seen
everywhere, but in few places indeed is
it found that the woman has much Of
modern and labor saving equipment for
the performance Of her part Of the
work. The following paragraphs will
tell briefly what the congress is and
what 1t hopes to do:

Congress OF Farm Women Succeeds

1t is an organization composed Of
women who have caught the vision of
an ideal life on the farm. Women who
know the hardships, which in the past
have been endured, and who are will
ing to put their shoulders to the wheel
and lift some of the loneliness out Of
life and make the sun shine brightly
over what has heretofore been dreary
horizon.
Organized at Colorado Springs.
The American division of this farm
women's movement was organized at
Colorado Springs in October, 1911, CO.
ordinate with the Dry Farming Con.
gress. 1t is now affiliated with many
other national congresses, making one
great international union, in which
twenty-eight nations are represented;
and it is destined to become one of the
greatest institutions for good the world
has ever known.
As an organization it is not political;
nor is it religious, except to extend 9
helping hand to the women Of all ma.
tions, no matter what race, religion or
color.
Its motto is not to reach up or reach
down, but to REACH OUT.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-05-07

1t deals only with that which has viz.
tue and worth, that which can give
freedom and truth to its members, and
will add to the welfare Of the whole
human race.
The congress lives that the farm
women Of the world may live more. It
speaks to give encouragement, inspifa-
tion and joy. 1t studies to keep in touch
with progress and pass the good things
along. It works in order to be Of serv.
ice to humanity.
Every thought, word and action in
behalf Of the organization is to enrich,
ennoble and beautify the lives Of
women in rural communities.
The American division Of the con-
gress urges the cooperation Of all inde.
pendent local organizations and indi-
viduals that are interested in social eco
nomic advancement in rural commun.

Its members are inviting the national
and state governments to recognize the
needs Of the farm women, who have
ever been the balance wheel Of civiliza.

They are pointing out the dangers Of
the rapid growth Of the cities, with .
corresponding decrease Of the rural
dwellers.
They are preaching . doctrine Of
thrift and the kingship Of labor, point.

Some Hints On Tires For The Farmer
Proper Initiation Add to Their Life While Lack Of Pressure In
creases Blowout Danger.
By L. aREENwALD.


having an influence on the usage
Of tires that no rule for initiation
can be adopted which will be exactly
suitable to all conditions. Style Of car
construction, the weight and its distri-
button, power, road conditions, speed,
tho expert or careless driver, effect Of
climate and numerous other things all
have important connections with the
strains to which the tires will be sub.
jected. Consequently, . fixed rule for
initiation would, in view Of these things,
produce different results.
The schedules Of initiation recon-
mended by the tire companies provide a
basis from which to work. Ordinarily
the tires on front wheels should be in.
hated from Is to IS pounds per inch Of
tire section and the rear tires from Is
to 20 pounds per inch Of tire section.
For example: Four-inch tires on front
wheels from go to ~ pounds, and the
rear from go to 80 pounds. The varia.
tion in these pressures naturally depends
upon the things before mentioned, prin-
eipally the weight Of the car. For in.
stance, tires on . car weighing 1900
pounds do not require as much air pres
sure as the tires on car weighing $500
pounds. The tires ride hard when
pumped up to high pressure and used
on light cars, but with the same pres
sure ride comfortably on heavy car.
In determining the correct size of tire
and the proper initiation, it is impor-
tant to know the weight Of the car and
its distribution on the front and rear
wheels. To determine this run front
half Of car on platform scales and make
note Of the weight. Then place only
the rear half Of car on scales, recording
this weight also. The weight carried
by each tire win be one-half Of either
Of the respective amounts.
Weight L Important.
Resiliency is primarily governed by
the construction and quality Of the
tires, but is largely influenced by the
initiation and weight carried. A four
inch tire inflated to 70 pounds pressure
and carrying weight Of 800 pounds
will naturally ride easier than the same
size tire with the same initiation carry.
ing weight Of 700 pounds. The heavier
weight causes some DETECTION Of the
tire on the ground and increases the
action, adding to the comfort Of the
ride. As the DETECTION or flattening Of
the tire is increased either by weight
or reducing the air pressure, most Of the
vibration is absorbed by the tires and
not by the springs Of the car. The dan
ger is in going to an extreme, and a
great many car owners, in this way,
sacrifice tire efficiency and maximum
mileage.
II you find the tires ride hard when
inflated to 80 pounds pressure, it is safe
to reduce the pressure to rs pounds OF
70 pounds, providing this does not per.
init the tires to bulge or flatten under
the weight Of the car.

Don't auess at Imitation.

Dom t make the mistake Of guessing
at the initiation from appearances; use
tire pressure gauge at least once every
week. The tires sometimes appear to
round up pretty well, but when tested
with a gauge you may find the pres
sure is entirely too low to secure best
results.
A great many tires are damaged in
number Of ways from riding soft. This
particularly is true during the summer
season. Tire users seem to be under the
impression that there is danger Of blow
outs, due to expansion. There is some
expansion, but as a matter Of fact it
is not in proportion to the increase in
temperature. For example: If the tenn
perature of the air in a tire increases
from go degrees to 80 degrees, it does
not mean that the air pressure per
square inch increases from 60 to 80
pounds. With the change in tempera-
ture mentioned, it actually results in
an increase Of three pounds pressure
per square inch, i. O., if the temperature
Of the air in tire increases from 60
degrees to 80 degrees the air pressure
increases from go to So pounds.
Heat Injuries Rubber.
On hot day it will be observed that
driving tire soft for some distance
over brick pavement will heat it con-
siderably more than the tire upon the
opposite wheel, inflated to higher
pressure. This is caused naturally by
the increased bending in the side walls
Of the soft tire and the increased road
friction due to deflection; the excessive
bending and heating is detrimental in
many respects. The DETECTION and wave
in front Of the tires requires more
power from the engine. The kneading
action results in separating of the rub
Der cover from the body and the several
plies Of fabric in the body do not take
bumps and strains Of traction uniform
ly and have tendency to work loose.
Chatting then occurs and ultimately a
blowout.
Pinched inner tubes are usually
caused by the tires being under pres
sure and not fitting snugly to the rims.
The adhesion of tube to the case
and deterioration of the rubber may be
caused by lack Of fabrication, but as
a usual thing may be traced to exces-
sive heating from riding the tire soft.
Reinflate the tires occasionally, as
the inner tubes are slightly permeable.
When the rubber is heated to 80 de-
grees or more Is per cent to 20 per cent
Of the pressure is lost. 1t is not ad.
visable to initiate tires with the ex-
haust from the engine, as oil and GER
tain gases are destructive to the rub
Der. This does not have reference to
pumps operated by power from the en-
gine. Air is the best for initiation.
Occasionally deflate the tires and fill
with fresh supply Of air.

CHAPTER XIV.
CROSSING the Channel.

Crossing the Channel.
Booth. restless with a vague uneasi-
ness that had come over him during
the night. keeping him awake until
nearly dawn, was hard put during the
early hours of the forenoon to find
occupation for his interest until a
seasonable time arrived for appearing
at Southlook He was unable to ac-
count for this feeling Of uncertainty
and irritation.
At nine he set out to walk over to
Southlook, realizing that he should
have to spend an hour In profitless
gossip with the lodge keeper before
presenting himself at the villa, but
somehow relishing the thought that
even so he would be nearer to Hetty
than If he remained in his own door
yard.
Halfway there we was overtaken by
Sara's big French machine returning
from the village. The car came to a
standstill as he stepped aside to let
it pass, and Sara herself leaned over
and cordially invited him to get in and
ride home with her.
What an early bird you are" he ex.
claimed as he took his seat beside
her.
She was not in mood for airy per-
sifiage. as he soon discovered.

words died on his lips.

she was bound to find unhappiness
II he were there her joy would be
short-lived and blighting; If he were
not there, her disappointment would
be equally hard to bear.
He was there She saw him from
the deck of the tender as they edged
up to the landing. His tall figure
doomed in the front rank against the
rail that held back the crowd; his
sun-bronzed face wore look of eager
expectancy; from her obscured posi-
ton in the shadow of the deck build
ing, purposely chosen for reasons only
too obvious, she could even detect the
alert, swift-moving scrutiny that he
fastened upon the crowd.
Later on, he stood looking down
into her serious blue eyes; her hands
We're lying limp in his. His own eyes
were dark with earnestness, with the
restraint that had fastened itself upon
him. Behind her stood the respectful
but UNNECESSARILY awed maid, who
could not, for the life of her, under.
stand how a man could be on both
sides of the Atlantic at one and the
same time.
Thank the Lord, Hetty, say l, for

of misery in her eyes was tinged with
a glow she could not suppress. 1T

Noting her emotion, he gave her

and Immediately released them.

ranged. I shall see to your luggage
Let me put you in the carriage first.
AS she sat In the railway carriage,
waiting for him to return, she tried
in a hundred ways to devise means
Of escape, and yet she had never loved
him so much as now. Her heart was
sore, her desolation never so complete
as now.
He came back at last and took his
seat beside her in the compartment,

very discreetly stared out of the win
