Billy Schoppert of the Birmingham Mo- tor company local selling agent for the Michelin Tire company, says that a few words about avoiding delays and expense resulting from carelessly fitting inner tubes may be of interest. When fitting tire, if the tube is pinched between the bead of the easing and the rim. the invariable result is the explosion of the tube
 "Such explosion usually forces the bead out of the clinch of the rim at the point where the rupture occurs" said MT. Schoppert. '"The inference is then drawn that the envelope did not fit properly, but this is probably not true.
 Ut Is more than likely that in fitting, two thicknesses of inner tube have be- come pinched under the toe or edge of the bead, resulting in rupture of the tube at this point, permitting the air to escape, with explosive force. between the outside of the bead and the inner sur- face of the clinch, this explosion driv- ing the bead entirely out of the rim at that point. The trouble was not that the

 we are having great difficulty in keep ing abreast of orders. This is, of course, due in part to a lack of workmen, but it is due also to an amount of business which-apart from the tourist trade which is naturally altogether lacking-is probably higher than it was before the war. People of a class who never came here before are now buying, and buying good and expensive articles. I have in mind typical case.
 Before the war certain woman used to come in once or twice a year and buy some trifling article, rarely paying more than 100 marks. She bargained in veterately, always striving to have the price reduced, and none of us like to wait on her. She came in last week and asked to be shown some pearl neck laces. She selected one for 3O,000 marks and paid for 1t in cash without bargain ing. Her husband is leather dealer.
 Another woman of a similar type has made several large purchases from us. Before the war her husband had small machine shop, employing three or four hands. He is now running day and night with 60 and has made 100000 marks

after that Palace rolled the largest

To j. Bernard Carroll goes chief credit
for the exceptional total against Palace
