AUTO TIRES ARE
 SCARCE IN NORWAY
King Haakon's Club Seeks to Import Rubber For Com
 merciaL Purposes.

Ghristiaria, Aug. 3-No Norwegian owners of automobiles are. hard hitfby the announceInent of dealers that the supply of tires has been exhausted and it is impossible to rep1enish the stock to any extent because the beI1igerent countries are taking up all the world $ supply At present it is said there is not new tire to be bought at any price anywhere in Norway.
 The situation is much more than annoying, for it will have a serious economical effect on. Norwegian farm ing It is doubtful that if any country has adopted the automobiles more ex- tensively in a. public way, for in Nor way the sparseIy settled hills have never been able to support railways and the automobile has come to be the principal means of communication and transportation both for the farmer and commercial men. The innumerabIe cars which have been put to service in recent years are all of foreign nlanufa cture, for there is no automobile factory in Norway. and the same is true as to oil. gasoline and tires The importation of tires has steadily decreased since the European bility of obtaining new tires has fore ed many of the taxieabs in Christiania to go out of business. The cars or the public automobile routes in the Ecountry are wearing their tires dowr to the last thread, and it appears thei1 service may soon have to be can celIed.
 The Royal Automobile Club. oi which King Kaakon is honorary pres ident,- is now negotiating with foreign governments, in the hope of getting permission to import tires, with guar anty on the part of Norway that the tires will not be exported to any of the n

FRENCH ARMY IS E PREPARING FOR LONG
 s CAMPAIGN IN WINTER

Dunkirh, France, Aug. 1s-AIl along the French front preparations are going steadily forward for the winter campaign. In the trenches the greatest possible degree of care is being taken to protect the men, not only against attacks, but also against the rigors of weather.
 Tar is being extensively used wher- ever the intrusion of water is likely to occur the effort being to make the trenches as nearly water-tight as pos sible. Drainage of various kinds is being. proyidede, and concrete is be- ing used to provide weather proof shelters.
 If it is necessary to make use of the same trenches this winter as the troops occupied last winter, they will not suffer so largely from wet and frozen feet, and it will be possible to sleep or rest with some degree of comfort instead of in the mud
 For the projection of the troops in the advanced trenches, the use of barbed wire is being largely extend ed. The driving of the posts for the wire. which was. formerly done with heavy maI1ets the sound of which was often the signal for a vo1ley from the enemy, is now accomp1ishe led noiselessly by machinery.

If not untrue. For example, Professor
Reeves, referring to the present law,
says:
1T has not been a failure in its
working; but time has had to elapse,
as has been true even 20 a greater ex-
tent in most other etates, where the
system prevails"
This is a double misstatemeat. In
New York County only 13 titles have
been registered in seven years, one o.
these has been cancelled and five with
drawn, leaving seven titles as the net
result Of seven years operation. Tho
contribution OF New York County TO
the insurance fund was $3.50 in this

ure is 10 blind ones self to the truth.
