SAVAGE TIRES USED
IN FOREIGN LANDS

The Savage Tire corporation of San
Diego, Cal, recently completed ar
engagements to distribute their pro-
ducts in Java, New Zealand, Australia
shipments of tires and Grafinite tubes
have been made to each of these fields.
According to Mr.. Claus Spreckels. the
secretary of the company, the initial
shipments are only the fore runners
of many that will be made to these and
other foreign points soon.
Inquiries have been coming to the
Savage Tire company from foreign
countries from prospective dealers and
from car owners, for several months
The increasing volume of these has
finally convinced the officials of the
company at San Diego that a demand
for their goods exists in foreign coun
tries, and so these first large ship
ments have been made.
Someone has said, IF | could build
better mouse trap than anyone else,
the world would wear a pathway to
my door" The ever increasing expan-
sion of the Savage Tire corporation
and the steady demand for Savage
products shows that the same thing is
true as far as tires are concerned. The
Savage policy of building the best
tires that can be made is pretty we'll
known. Car owners are interested in
this prosperous and growing company
and will be glad to know Of their sue
cess in foreign lands.

GENERAL EXODUS
OF VOTERS FROM
DISTRICT BEGUN
Leaves of Absence Granted
Government Employees at
Washington to Go Home
to Vote.

Washington, Mo-. 4.--The general
exodus of voters from the District of
Columbia began in earnest today.
From every department men have been
granted leave to go home to cast their
ballots on election day. The outgo-
ing trains tonight and tomorrow Will
carry several hundred voters in ad
dtion to those who have already left
the city. Many clerks use their an
nual leave of absence for. this purpose,
and 1t is difficult to estimate the eX-
act number of voters who will have
gone home by Tuesday.
Since the civil service has been ex-
tended to virtually all of the principal
departments of the government the
number of clerks and other employees
retaining a voting residence in the
states from which they come, has
steadily decreased. The reasons for
the decrease are obvious. AS the en-
pioyes under the civil service rules are
sure of retaining their positions ire
spectve of any changes in the admin
istration, they no longer have the same
incentive to participate actively in poll
tics that they had in the days when
ito the victor belongs the spoils" APP
piled to practically every position in
the service of the federal government.
Another very potent reason for the de-
crease in the number of department
clerks going home to vote is to be
found in the abolition of the old GUS
tom of giving free railroad transpor-
tation. In the days when the cam
p;tign barrels were heaped high with
contributions that the law did not re-
ouirc TO be made public, tn national
campaign committees of both parties
were ready and willing to furnish a
r. Tread ticket to any Washingtonian
no had a vote in some one of the
states and was willing to cast it for the
fright candidate.
HUNDREDS HAVE LEFT.
I'oweVer. there are many clerks Vine
still go home TO vote, and in the COM
ing election the number promises to be
larger than for some years past. Those

states which are classed as doubtful"

the next two days. Those living in

There are several leak proof rings
on the market. They overcome the
disadvantage of the slot in the ord
mary ring and so improve the com
preston to a great extent. 1t would
be well to put one at the top of each
piston. but Il complete set would be
somewhat expensive. If the rings are
badly worn they should certainly be

tice of replacing broken rings with
leak proof rings. BY this means the
cost is distributed over a longer time.

The capitol building will be practi-

most of them are held as q result of

sequence, the occupants have in many

The supreme court of the United
States constitutes one exception to the

tai. That tribunal is going forward
as usual with it's business, but even
the members Of the court have shown
themselves to be not totally divorced
from the general concern in the re-
suits of the approaching battle of the
ballots. In addition to the fact that
political and social life has brought
them into close contact with Presi-
dent Wilson, they naturally feel an ex
ccptional personal interest in Mr..
Hughes, who until recently was one of
their colleagues on the bench, and. re-
gardless of political lean.ngs, they

Helpful Hints for
Automobile Owners

At the beginning of the winter go
over the tire chains carefully. Take out
all cross chains that are worn and re-
place them with new ones. The best
practice is to put in a new grip at
every other place, making the chain
half new and half old. If a weak grip
breaks the one next to it is strong and
will hold. whereas if all had been weak,
several might break at once. Use the
grips you take off to replace those that
break
Sometimes a driver says his magnetic
always misses when it rains A mag
neto may be short circuited by rain
getting into it, but do not condemn the
magnetic before looking elsewhere. Dis
tributor and spark plug terminals are
not covered with insulation, and so
may leak current. Short circuits may
develop in secondary wires. Spark
plug cores may be cracked. II no faults
can be discovered outside of the mag
neto. put a leather cover over it and
end your troubles.
A source Of noise that is frequently
overlooked is the case covering the tim
ing gears. 1t should be kept filled with
lubricant, but If it becomes empty it
acts. as II sounding board and intensi-
fies the noise OF the gears.
If the motor has no printing cups 1t
will be hard to start when cold wealth
er comes Get n set of spark plugs with
printing cups attached. Remember
that ether is the best substance for
printing. as it will evaporate readily no
matter how cold the engine may be.
When any part gets rusty put kero-
sene on it. but let 1t stand awhile and
then wipe off. Kerosene is useful in
removing rust. but it will also cause
rust. After removing kerosene put oil
on parts or wipe with oily rag. Crude
oil is also very good to remove rust.
