a rug costing only So francs In Paris

age VAS superior TO most Of the

TIME pneumatic tire 20 the
turkey buzzard In the ointment
OF the automobile owner. IL
was invented about twenty years ago
by a mRn who thought the recording
angel had a sinecure. IL was a com.
plete success. Within five years, the
Il. A. had put nine assistants In the
profanity department, had been ON
PEELED 10 install adding machines and
loose-leaf ledgors, and was working
q night SHIFT right through tho
summer.
The pneumatic tire u a hollow tube
filed with wind and Is fastened 10 the
wheel with the aid OF bolts, nuts.
screws, cable wires, hooks and glue.
II makes riding easier, and Is also a
great promoter OF walking. The tire
Is made by the rubber trust out OF
gossamer SILK, spiders webs and but
teriiies' wings. II iE therefore, no
trick NJ all TO poke a hole In II with
a nail. a rock or a bottle. When this
IS done, the imprisoned air 10 once
rushes forth and mingles with the
surrounding atmosphere so thor
oughly that Il Is almost impossible
10 get It back intact.
The occurrence ls called a puncture.
A bad puncture Is accompanied BY a
loud kissing rush Of air on the part
OF both the tire and the owner. The
latter. TO fix the tire. must remoye Il
with the aid Of levers, crowbars.
screw-drivers. derricks and blasting

November is one Of the niftiest
little months we have.
Its name signifies ninth, but it's
really not.
Years ago they began the year
with January, but when February
had turned IN its report and was
found to be tvo whole days short.
they decided to turn over a new
leaf and start fresh.
So November was the ninth
month after that.
November is the month In which
people recover from Halloween
and get reEdy TO be thankful that
the football season has ended.
Turkeys roost high during this
month.
This Is IN response to a rigid
proyiso In every turkeys iite-insur-
ance policy.
Any turk. roosting lower than
twenty feet from the ground has
his policy cancelled Immediately
with no return OF premiums paid.
November is the month la which
one gets enough OF October
weather to make n wish that
month had stayed, and enough OF
winter TO wish that season would
hurry along.
In some localities north OF the
Carbonate, H., parallel. they do
their hog-butchering in this month.
When both the moon and the
hog are at their fullest, the deed Is
done.
Some real frosty morning tho
neighbor who owns a rifle comes
over and makes some bullet
patches from the remains OF an old
cotton sheet, loads his ancient six
f%oot-barrel hexagunal Winchester
and shoots the pigs.
Home-talent completes the Job
with a swift stlletto stab behind
the left ioreleg, and the mess be-
gins.
The house smells OF cracklin's
for a week. and the boys draw cuts
TO e who will get the majority OF
the bladders.
November Is the next TO the last
month In the year.
IL II were not for one thing, Il
would be the last.
That n thing Is December.
