THE PINE u M 4 TIC TIRE
Howard LRdnn

The pneumatic tire is rubberlzed artl-
Gle of commerce which retains air, tacks
and horseshoe nails with the utmost Inn
partially Sometimes it will take IN a
long, inquistive ten-penny nail on Tues
day and hold it in a firm grasp until the
family starts out for a drive on Sunday
morning, when it will let 90 with soft,
sibilant noise ten miles from a garage.
The purpose of the pneumatic tire IS to
prevent the inmates of a seven-passenger
tonneau from being thrown through a
brand new mohair top every time the car
steps on something in the road. As this
happens frequently when the inmates are
thinking of other things, the only effect Is
to disarrange the conversation and back
hair OF those present and shatter few
nase-glass lenses.
1t is very difficult to figure on what a
pneumatic tire is going TO do next. 1t Is
apt to blow out in a resonant tone OF
voice, like wooden-legged carpenter fall
ing through "A sllyhght, and leave the en-
tire family stranded on a side hill, but this
never happens except when the spare tire
is at the garage. being vulcanized. In
ease an extra tire Is handy, it will not take
over half day for the average man TO
get it on the rim and blow it up with a
hand pump, especially if his wife Is born

Punctures IN pneumatic tires are caused
by some foreign substance entering the in
ner tube and allowing the air to retire to
some spot where it viii not be OF any as
whatever. Punctures can be cured
at about half the cost of the original tire,
but a blowout is usually fatal to every
body but the garage proprietor.
Pneumatic tires are generally guaranteed
for 5000 miles when driven by people who
prefer to ride on the road-bed. Automobile
owners with abundant means usually carry
an extra tire on a rim in the rear. This IS
done so that in case of a puncture there
will be nothing to do but remove the cover
from the spare tire, unclamp four bolts and
wriggle 1t out of the tire carrier, jack up
the car in a sitting posture, unclamp four
more bolts, take off the wheel tear down
the differential, hammer the old rim into
submission with sledge and drive on the
new one with an axe When this is done
on a hot day by stout citizen surround
ed by several admiring relatives, it is a
very pleasing operation.
The pneumatic tire is cheaper better
and less brittle than it used TO be, and II
the price continues to decline it viii take
its place as a household necessity. along

DR.. David Jayne Hill, ambassador to
Germany from 1908 to 1911, uttered be-
fore the Merchants club of Boston an
impressive warning as to the economic
pressure which may follow the conclu-
sion of the war. He believes that the
industrial efficiency of the German ma
ton will be very nearly as great as
ever after the war, and that a nation
which has already been willing to pay
100 marks at home for what it sells
abroad for IS marks will take hold of
the exporting situation with energy
and resolution. Inasmuch as the mar
kets of the entente powers will be for
the most part lost to them, the Ger
mans will look to America as their
principal market; and, favored by our
present revenue tariff, they will begin
a policy of dumping which may under
mine the foundations of many an
American industry. Mr.. Hills views
on this subject are founded upon close
observation of the whole field, and on

Ve-mont'a Road Policy.
(Barton Monitor.)

A glance at a government bulletin
on road work and expenditures in sew
eral states of the United States, gives
one little idea of why Vermont roads
are holding their own with the high
ways of other states and iustifies the
praise our roads are continually re
ceiving from tourists. 1t seems that
only four states in the nation had a
stateaid law previous to the year in
which Vermont enacted such a law.
Since that time all but four states have
adopted such a law. Only seven states
now have greater percentage of sur
faced roads than Vermont and these
are all our wealthiest states The far
sightedness of Governor Gates in
those early days of road agitation ana
his ability to handle the situation have
made Vermont one of the leaders in
good roads and road policies, and there
Is every promise that a worthy success
sor has been found in our county man.

The point of equal representation is
wen taken by the Pittsfeld Eagle when
it says OF the New Jersey election:
''Despite the New Jersey setback, in
this age it seems an injustice that any
American citizen who actually desires
the ballot should not be allowed to have
it. Women should be allowed to vote
if they wish, not because they are
women, but because they are American
citizens. All American citizens ought
to be granted the privileges of the con
stitution and the time will come when
they will enjoy it

Wanted, More Such Fairs.
(Morrisville Messenger.l

A good sign of the season has been
the increasing number of town and
Grange fairs, where the agricultural
exhibits have frequently been as inter
esting and meritorious as those of great
amusement centers which attract thou
sands of people. There is an education-
al side to the small local fair through
the personal interest which it arouses
and the competition which takes place
among the progressive farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters, to excel in
growing the finest crops in field and
garden and in preparing many of the
products for domestic use in attractive
form.-Brattleboro Phoenix
The Phoenix is right
These little fairs are really worth
far more than the big agricultural
hosg trots. -
The state had better encourage these
a little as well as to subsidize the
state and other so-called county fairs.

Vermont, the Unspoiled Land, is
region of hills, villages, lakes, rivers,
meadowlands, mountains, sturdy men
and noble women. Within the Dor

Vermont has waited long to find the
man who could adequately open the
beauties of the natural scenes of the
state Finally it has been done with
a superb outlook by Mortimer r. Proc

The Wandering Boy.
(Swanton Courier.)

That Brattleboro Scribe is again
wandering aimlessly through the woods
The last time we heard from him he
was aimlessly wandering around and
squatting on old logs with his arms
wound around June, whispering mush
into her ear. Now he has given dear
old June the cold shoulder and is hob
nobbing about with chill October That
scribe is most certainly the most aim
less little wanderer you probably evei
saw.
Listen to him wander:
''The poet who sighed for the
perfect days of June ought to have
lived to see yesterday. The air
was of summer temperature, but
with a mellowness unknown to
summer days. The hillsides, "all
glorious with imprisoned light
presented an enhancing picture on
every side. It was a dream day
of enjoyment for all who lived in
the open and particularly for those
who wandered aimlesslv through
woods and fields.''
Oh, he II be back to June again
