TIRES SHOULD NOT
BE TOO THICK

You frequently hear advocated tires
with exceptionally heavy tread or ex-
ira plies of fabric. it being claimed
that the added material increases the
life Of the tire and makes it puncture
proof. Tires have actually been built
and sold on this principle.
Would YOU prefer d dollar watch to
a thin. solid gold Chronometer because
il is thicker and bulkier? TO be en-
during a lire must he flexible. To be
flexible without weakness. there must
be a certain balance between all paris
of the tire. TOO heavy a tread or too
many plies of fabric make Il tire so
stiff thai il loses its residence and
tends TO break up inIO separate units,
instead of forming single compact
one.
Diamond tires are a good example Of
the perfectly balanced tire. Years Of
scientific observation Of the actual per
Torrance Of these tires in service
have shown just how much gum and
lust how much fabric are required to
make them the perfectly balanced,
greater mileage tire that is equally
strong and wcarresisting in all parts.

ANCIENT TEMPLE GAVE NAME
Ammonia Was First Manufactured In
the Vicinity of the Oasis Of
Jupiter Ammon.

The Libyan oasis OF Siwah is identi-
cal with the ancient oasis of Jupiter
Ammon. where, near the famous tenn
pie or oracle. the vehement odor" OF
Pliny was first manufactured by a
process too inelegant for description
here.
Ammon, at first pet deity Of the
Pharaoh family circle, ultimately
eclipsed all the other deities Of Egypt
Libya and Ethiopia. becoming king
of the gods" and his oracle in the
present oasis OF Siwah achieved such
celebrity that Alexander the Great
considered 1t necessary to journey
thither after the battle OF lssus in or
der to be acknowledged the son oi
God Ammon." The oracle fell into
disrepute under the Romans, and Pau
sanias reported it dumb A. D. 160. The
ruins of the temple are to be seen to
day two miles east of the town oi
Siwah. The Senussi long dominated
the oasis.

John Adams a Hard Loser.

John Adams, second president Of
the United States, was not a good
loser He wanted another term, and
worked hard for 1t. None of the can
didates received a majority Of the
electoral votes. and the election was
thrown into the house Of representa-
tives. But Adams had no choice
there, for he was third in the race
and only the two having the highest
number OF electoral votes could be
voted for. Thus the choice lay be-
tween Jefferson and Burr, and Jeffer'
son won Adams was very much dis
gruntled, and did everything In his
power to make things unpleasant for
his successor He filled every vacant
office he could lay his hands on, SO
as to leave as little patronage as pos
sible for Jefferson. Not only so, but
in the closing hours of his administra
ton he and his party associates ere
ated twenty-three new judgeships, for
which there was no necessity, and
worked till the stroke Of midnight on
March Sd filling out and signing com
missions for these midnight judges
as they were called.

ANTS PROVIDED WITH LIGHT
Curious Phenomenon That Has for
Some Time Attracted Attention
Of Scientists.

There has been observed curious
phenomenon connected with the nests
OF the Brazilian white ants or termites.
These, when seen on the headwaters
Of the Rio Verde. seem to be covered
with tiny stars, which give the nest
the aspect of a miniature tower bril-
liantly Illuminated. When the nest is
struck with stick the lights go out.
only to reappear again little by little.
Castelnau, in the middle Of the last
century. reported q similar spectacle
near the city of Goyaz. According to
his account. the lights were produced
by an immense number OF small phos-
phorescent larvae, which withdrew in
to the galleries OF the mound when
an attempt was made to capture them.
1t has been pointed out by several
authorities that these exhibitions are
probably confined to some particular
species or to some special occasion
or conditions of termite life, since
many scientists have spent consider
able periods OF investigation in Brazil
without seeing them.

WATER WHEELS OF SYRIA
Move on Simple Principle But DO the
Work Required Of Then, Most
EHectuaily.

Hama. in northern Syria, referred
to in the Old Testament as Klamath
the Great, is justly famous for its
huge water wheels. The city lies some
10 miles northeast of Damascus on
the River Orontes, and upon its banks
are four large water wheels used for
drawing water for irrigating purposes
and also for supplying the town.
These wheels are driven by the tiow
of the river on what is known as the
undershot principle; that Is to say,
the wheel is moved by water passing
beneath it.
The largest has a diameter OF rs
feet. Upon its outer rim is a series
of buckets which raise the water and
deposit it in the aqueduct at the top,
Like its companions the wheel is built
of mahogany, with an axle of iron
The creaking of the wheels is inces
SAINT day and night, year in and year
out, for they never stop.
1t is interesting to note that wheels
built on this same principle are in
actual use in this country, in one OF
the fertile valleys N California.-Pop

KNOW HOW TO SAY G00D-By
When Time Comes to Co Don't Try to
Be Diplomatic About II, Pris-
oner Says.

Nothing is more embarrassing than
not to know how to say good-by. The
predicament places one at gross dis
advantage. He becomes awkward.
clumsy, floundering. His hands are
hams and his fingers swollen frank
furters. He stands round ready and
willing to go, but doesn't know how to
break away. He wants to go, feels
that others would like to see him
vamoose, that he has overstayed his
welcome and that his presence is a
trespass on hospitality, but he STAN
mers. halts. hesitates. mumbles and
is all messed up over the matter Of
saying good-by and getting out.
He would thank his lucky stars II
some "bouncer" would come along and
end the agony by throwing him out.
Now, remember, there's only one
thing to do in case like that, when
you have got a thing to say, say It.
Just say "Good-by" and be honest and
not diplomatic about it and see how
nicely you settle the difficulty.-From

When Honesty" Paid.

The secretary CT the New York
Prison association tells of the answer
a thief gave to the question "Is hon
esty the best policy" 1t was in the
Elmira reformatory. where class was
undergoing instruction. A young
man asked permission to answer the
question. Il believe honesty Is the
best policy" said he, because of a
case where I knew 1t to work that
way. See? There was two young
fellows in New York and they was
crooked. see? And they didn't sue
ceed. They went to Philadelphia, and
they turned over new leaf and
agreed to be square and honest. They
opened a clothing store. see? And
they prospered. They got everybody's
confidence, and they borrowed 500,
900 to enlarge their business, and
then they failed and got away with
every cent Of the money. which they
never could have done IL they hadn't
been honest. See?"

believe that woman loves the arts
better than does man. She Is better
ground for the development OF a great
artist. for she approaches art with

approach 1t with fear and dislike,
