WAY TOMORE MILEAGEFOROWNERS
ANDTHOUGHTFUL DRIVERSOf CARS

because of extra strength, easier rid
ing cushion and longer mileage. In
fact, experienced car owners specify
the oversize tires, in many instances
for original equipment of new cars.
The resiliency of larger tires reduces
the traction slippage on rear wheels,
adds to comfort and lessons vibration
to the mechanism of the car.
When oversize tires are placed on
front wheels that were originally
equipped with regular size tires, the
overall diameter will be increased ap-
proximately one inch and the speed
ometer should be readjusted, other
wise the mileage recorded will be less
than that actually travelled.
There is not enough added weight
in oversize tires to affect transmits
sion or differential or make any objec-
tionable difference in the power. The
advantages of oversize tires, without
the inconvenience or expense of
changing wheel equipment, are fea-
lures which mean more certainty and
pleasure to motorists.

GERMAN CAPTAIN
 REFUSES TO TALK

NEW YORK, April 5.-Captain Otto Walpert, in charge of the At las service of the Hamburg-Ameri- can line, was taken before Federal Judge Hand today on a present. ment by the federal grand jury charging him with refusal to answer questions. The jury is investigat- ing alleged plots to cause strikers on steamship piers and ammunition plants for which Congressman F. Buchanan and others have already been indicted.
 The court was told that Walpert had declined to give information concerning his returns with Franz Won Rintelen, a German agent, and others involved in the alleged plots. Walpert explained that he believed that if he we're required to give information it might incriminate him. The case was put over until Monday.

IRIDIUM NEVER SEEN IN
 NATURE.

Radium is metal and is describ- ed as having a white metallic lus- ter. It has been isolated only once
 or twice and few people have seen it. Radium is ordinarily obtained from it's ores in the form of hy-
 drous sulphate, chloride, or brom- idle, and it is in the form of these
 salts that it is usually sold and
 used. These are all white or near ly white substances, whose appear ance is no more remarkable than common salt or baking powder.
 Radium is found in nature in such exceedingly small quantities that it is never visible even when the
 material is examined with a mic roscope. Ordinarily radium ore car ries only a small fraction of a grain per ton of material and rad jun will never be found in large quantities because it is formed by the decay of uranium, a process which is wonderfully slow, and ra- dium itself decays and changes to ether elements so rapidly that it is impossible for it to accumulate naturally in visible masses. Min erals that carry radium, however. 'aee fa' ly eas to determine. One of them, pitchblende, as generally found, is black mineral about as heavy as ordinary iron, but much softer. The principal radium min eral, carnotite, has bright canary yellow color, and is generally pow dery. There are other cedium- bearing minerals of less importance.

AN EASY WAY TO
 WATERPROOF CLOTHES

Hunters, fishermen and other lovers of outdoor life may find it to their advantage to take leaf from the advice of the French Academy of Science to soldiers on the subject of waterprooIing their garments. The process recommend ed is simple and easy, durable, in- expensive and does not injure the appearance of the clothes. It con- sists, according to La Nature, of a very slight impregnation of the fiber of the cloth with wood-fat. This is dissolved and diluted in a neutral, anhydrous, and volatile liq- uid. One takes five to ten parts of Adeps lanae, producible at al- most any drug store, liquifies it in a little chloroform and dilutes with 90 to 95 parts of gasoline (essence of petroD. The entire uni form, braid, buttons and all is i'm mersed in it, squeezed or stirred in it for a few minutes, then wrung out and dried in the air.
 The woodsman may complete his preparations to defy wet weather by giving his heavier equipment bags, leggins, etc, another treat ment recommended in the same journal to render articles of coarse cloth or canvas impermeable. Such articles are smeared thoroughly with a mixture of tale with 50 per cent vaseline. Red vaseline is best since it costs less and gives an attractive khaki clor The paste is applied much like shoe hlackin~ and is then rubbed in vigorously with brush to make sure of an intimate contact.

DAILY BIBLE READING.

Topic for week: Omnipresence of God.
 Saturday.
 Job 3S:1-20.
 "The morning stars sang togeth- CT, and all the sons of God shout ed for joy"
 In his answer to Job, God is shown as the sympathetis God of nature, caring for the large and small things of the universe. Stars and angels rejoiced when God formed (gradually, through orderly nature) the earth.

 1 Kings 8:22-30.
 Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee: how much less this house that l have builded."
 Solomon knows that God is spir- itual, and though not confined to one place, his presence is every where, and though not confined to prayers in the temple. So also he hears our prayers, whether in the church or in the temple of our in- ward lives.

\ BANK THAT PAYS
 ITS DEPOSITOR,S BILLS

A New Jersey bank has introduc- e a system which is destined ito -revolutionize the method of paying monthly household accounts. In- stead of writing from 15 to 25 or more monthly checks, addressing an equal number of envelopes and spending half a dollar or more op postage in paying the regular monthly bills, the customer of the bank simply writes one check voucher a month to cover the total of his or her bills and mails or sends it to the bank, which will take care of all details, pay each item separately, and at the end of the month the original check vouch- CT is returned to the customer by the bank, properly indorsed and can celled, thus furnishing the custom CT with a complete record and re- ceipt for all payments made that month.
 The multiple payment check has printed upon it a list of all the principal business houses in the town. The customer writes opposite each name the amount to be paid and fills in the check for the total amount, On the stub portion, for her own convenience, the housewife writes the names of each party to whom payment is made and thus in one transaction gets a complete and detailed record of all her pay ments for the month.
 The use of the multiple check plan does not in any wayinterfere with the customer of the bank mak- ing use of a regular checking ae- count for the payment of items which, for any reason, he or she may desire to take care of person. ally.

BRIG.
 J. J. PERSHING
LEADING THE UNITED STATES TROOPS IN RUNNING DOWN
 MEXICAN BANDITS.

Second to none in the eyes of the American people today, is Brigadier General John J. Persh- ing, who is now engaged in lead ing the American troops in the capture of Villa and his followers. This is not the first expedition in- to Mexico, either, for he was one of the capturers of Geronimo in the mountains near Villas present hiding place. In 1906 President Roosevelt promoted him to the rank of Brigadier- General over the heads of S62 other officers, a record jump.
 At West Point Pershing was sen for cadet captain, a signal honor Not long after he left the academy he plunged into the Geronimo cam paign and fought that willy Indian and others for ten years.
 He was assigned to the old Sixth Cavalry and in August of 1887, scarcely a year from school, he was complimented by General Miles for marching his troops with pack train, over rough country, 40 miles in fortysiX hours, bringing in every animal and man in good condition. J This was in the Geronimo cam paign.
 In 1889 he rescued a party of horse thieves and cowboys who were besieged by hostile band of zunis without firing a shot.
 A promotion for gallantry at the battle of Fl Caney in the Spanish American war was another of his laurels. In September. 1899, how ever, his real chance came. He was made adjutant-general of the De partment of Mindanao and Jolo in the Philippines, where the fanatical Moros defed all organized govern ment.
 By a brilliant victory at Bayan he put the Moros to flight and then he attacked the Sultan of Bacolod who was entrenched in a fort which he thought could not be taken. The , capture of this fort is remembered for the charge of a hundred mad dened Malays on the bayonets of Pershing's men. The Americans lost only two men slightly wounded
 One after another forty Moro forts were demolished and then Pershing, having conquered the peo- pie, set out to become their friend He succeeded in winning the hearts of the warlike and implacable saw ages and was elected a data by them. Later he led commands against rebellious Moros under the Sultan of Jolo in another part of the Philippines.
 On August 27 last Gen. Persh- ing's life was saddened when his wife and three of their children were burned to death in a fire at the Presidio in San Francisco.

In army and navy circles, and, in
fact, in official circles in general, there
is considerable interest shown in that
part of the annual report fMajor-
General Hugh l.. Scott, chief of the
general staff, in which he advocates
that work be begun at once for plan
of censorship in the United States to
be used in case of war.
The report advocates an immediate
conference of army and navy officers
with newspaper and press association
managers to prepare legislation on d
system of war news censorship for
congress.
The report says it is of vital impor-
tance that definite preparation along
this line be made before war is at
