SOME TIRE HISTORY.
Growth Of the NO-Rim-Cut Idea NJ

Figures show that so per cent. Of

smaller sized wheels. have now adopted
the no-rim-cut tire or devices resem-

automobiles" declares j w. III bhs
branch manager Of the Goodyear Tire
and Rubber Company.
"In the dave of the one lunRers' auto

bicycle tires. They were easy to repair
on bicycles, but we're - much heavier
for automobiles that repairs were prac-
tically impossible,
80 tire makers turned next TO the
cl,ncher, type popular for bicycle tires
where inner tubes were desired. and
fter "A few years clincher tires were "A
reasonable success except that they rim
cut because OF the sharp inner curve of
the clincher rim. Then in 1905 the
Goodyear demonstrated tho feasibility
of the detachable rim and introduced
the no-rim-cut tire. This tire did away
with the necessity for the clincher rim
provided a straight side wall to the tire
and an easily out curving rim that sup

ADAM And EVE
And The AUTO
Maine "Back to the Garden Of

RETURN IN CAR, HOWEVER

On tho first Of October Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Estes of Gray. Me-. went into the

unique experiment Of living In the woods

their expedition without food, clothing
or fire, determined to prove that II Is
possible for people OF the present day
to return to primitive conditions OF life
and live q healthy. happy existence.
Sixty days later this Same couple
emerged from their homo in Gully
Brook. . wild ravine in which they had
hved as Adam and Eve might have
lived In the Garden OF Eden thousands
Of years ago. When the couple
emerged from the woods near Bingham
they were met by the most modern prod
uct Of civilization, the automobile. The
car was a 1916 Studebaker Six. which
was sent from Portland to bring back
these two exponents of primitive life.
The trip OF l19 miles from Portland
to Bingham was made over roads which
are said to he the worst in Maine.
At Bingham Mr.. and Mrs. Estes were
taken aboard. and the trip back TO
Portland was a triumphal ride through
towns where practically the entire pop
ulation turned out to see the curiou,
looking passengers. In fact, the presi-
dent of the United States passing

created a greater furor than did thes'

tachometers, electric gear shifts, wind

tnlngs. nearly all of new design, will
interest the car owner.
Because of the appearance on the
market OF numerous new cars of the
multiple-csclinder type. these win natur-
ally form one OF the shows most at
tractive features. Four and six cyclinder
cars have been seen In quantity for years.
but this year numerous companies will
show eight and twelve cyclinder models
The eight" made Its debut at the last
National Show. but the twelve" will be
seen on exhibition for the first time
While the natural supposltion would be
that eight and twelve cyclinder cars
should cost far more than models hav-
ing smaller number Of cvclinders in
their motor. this Is not the case. In
fact, with perhaps one or two except ions,
makers of multple-cy climber cars are
putting them out at a price below what
the skies cost last season.
While many visitors AZ the Autono-
bile show go to see what IL new In
the way Of mechanical contrivances and

centage. particularly amons woman visi-
tors, who go to observe the outer physi-

Why Elephants Fear Mice.

It seems incredible that so small and harmless an animal as mouse is able to frighten an elephant almost out of it's senses. One little mouse in the hay on which they are feeding will stampede an entire herd. In their na- tive land there are little animals. known as chacanas. which feed Of. a small. sour berry of which elephants are very fond. They live in settle ments. something after the manner of prairie dogs. under the berry bushes
 When feeding. the elephants trample the little towns. and the chacanas. in their fright. run up the tubes of the elephants trunks. Their long. sharp claws catch in the flesh. and they can not be ejected. The more violently the monster blows through it's coiled trunk the more firmly the hooked claws of the little animal become imbedded in the flesh. Inflammation and death are the result. In captivity the elephants think they are in danger of the deadly chacanas when they see d mouse.

ENERGY OF RADIUM.
One Ton of 1t Would Equal In Power
 1,5OO,000 Tons of Coal.

1,5OO,UUO ! ono or Coal.
 If one could utilize the energy of ton of radium through space of thir- ty years it would be sufficient to drive c ship of 15.O0O tons, with engines of 15.OO0 horsepower. at a rate of fifteen knots throughout the whole thirty years. To do this 100000 tons of coal are actually required. says the Chicago Tribune,
 These are not fanciful figures, for the energy is there. though. as matter of fact. it is unlikely that man will ever produce much more than half an ounce of radium year.
 Still. the fact is important for this reason-that science is convinced that the radium in radium bromide is not the only element which possesses this marvellous store of energy. but that the calcium in gypsum and the sodium in common salt contain also this energy content.
 The evidence of the wonderful atomic energies in the common elements of everyday material is rapidly accumu- lating. and scientists are of the opinion that perhaps these same discoveries may in time alter the whole future of the human race.

The Kitchen Sink.

It is a statistical fact that farm wo men die earlier than do farm men and that those who survive the years of drudgery break in health sooner than do the men. The opposite is true in town. There is no doubt in my mind that the biggest factor in the develop ment of thisFs of affairs is the woe. full lack of labor saving contrivances in the farm woman's home. Many houses in the country are still without that greatest of labor saversa kitch- en sink. a sink with a pump or faucet and with drain leading out from it. The carrying in and out of water is the most laborious and back breaking task of all the hard tasks belonging to the housekeeper. There is no substi tute for a kitchen sink. If you can add but one thing to your home this year and if you have no kitchen sink let that be the addition. = Farm and Preside
