Assuming that an automobile stands
in q garage 30 per cent out OF each
twenty-four hours, what would be the
saving in casing expense providing the
oar was put on jaeka and kept off the
tires during the time il was not in use 2
The amount Of money you might
save by lacking up the wheels when
the car is not in use Is too small to be
measured, providing there is no oil or
water on the garage floor that might
cause the rubber to deteriorate. The
reduction In pressure and consequent
lessened strain on the castings when
this il done is almost infinltesimal, al
though it is popularity supposed that
relieving the tires from the burden Of
supporting the car must necessarily
relieve them from Just that much
strain and that therefore they will
wear longer II the car Is lacked up.
The reduction in pressure when this is
done Is exactly inVeTsely proportional
TO the increase in volume OF the tube.
When the tire is supporting the car
weight it hattens slightly and one
might say, imperceptibly, II the tires
are pumped up as hard "a they should
be. The fisttening Of the tire causes a
small decrease in the volume OF the air
in the tube and therefore when the tire
is raised OF the ground 1t regnins its
normal shape and normal volume. 1t
is obvious that this small change In
volume will not affect the pressure 10
any extent. since the decrease in pres
sure is lnversely proportional to the In
crease In volume. And since the de-
crease in pressure IL almost incom-
nensurable the Iessened strain and
consequent saving in tire cost Is meal
culable.

How will incorrect wiring RHsot q
NfotoF7 .r- .
The effect of, incorrect wiring on the
motor depends on how the wires are
misplaced. For instance. If the high
tension cables were changed around so
that no one Of them went to the right
plug It would be impossible to run the
motor, although an occasional explo-
sion might be obtained. II two or
three of the high tension wires were
interchanged, but one or more were
left on the correct plugs, then the
motor would run on the cylinders
IN which the latter were. Where
dual system Is employed the wires of
a battery system may sometimes be
misplaced without interfering with the
operation of the magnetic and vice
versa AS rule, however. the chang
ing Of the wires viii result in the
whole ignition system becoming inop-
erative. ... .,G..

took it to Mrs. Levine.
Mrs. Levine has two children of her

Mrs. Maskel hesitated a moment.
Then she started taking the clothes
off the chubby youngster while
gasp rose from the spectators.

RETRIEVE GRANTED AT
 REQUEST OF PRESIDENT.
Governor Spry of Utah Stays Exeeu-
 ton of Joseph HiIIstrom.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept. 30.-On request of President Wilson, tele- graphed today from Washington, Gov. William Spry granted a reprieve until Oct. Is to Joseph Hillstrom, sentenced to be shot tomorrow after having been convicted of murdering J. G. Morrison, a grocer, and Morrison's young son here in January 1914
 In his answer to the presidents mes sage, Governor Spry says the reprieve is granted only because the president requested 1t and he insists that the Swedish minister come here and make personal investigations before Oct. Is, as the Swedish vice consul here has gone thoroughly into the case and ad- vises that he can find no reason why the board of pardons should change it's decision.
 Governor Sprys telegram also says the undisputed records of Hillstrom's s case show he was convicted of a most revolting murder; that the evidence shows his guilt; that he had a fair trial. and that his case has been more thoroughly investigated by the board of pardons than any similar case in the history of the state without finding any reason whatever for clemency.
 The state constitution prohibits a reprieve beyond Oct. 13, the date of the next meeting of the board of par dons.
 The governors action today makes it necessary to bring Hillstrom before the district court again. even should the board refuse to commute his sem tence after hearing from the Swedish minister. as he will have to be re- sentenced by the court

NO FIGURES or GERMAN

London. Sept. 90, 3.52 p. m.-A de-. sire for absolute precision was ad- vaficed by Arthur J Balfour, first lord Of the admiralty, in the house of com mons this afternoon as the reason for not making public figures on German submarine losses.
 MT. Balfour expressed great sympa- thy iwiLh the desire for such informa- ton. but said the difficulty of satisfy ing curiosity on the subject arises from "the inevitable margin of doubt which Attaches to any attempt to esti- mate the number of enemy submarines destroyed and the consequent impossi- biiity of giving accurate statistics.

Should the admiralty confine itself to cases of ab- salute certainty we undoubtedly would be undertaking the truth.
