New tires carried on the sides of
the car, if not protected from the
sunlight, will quickly oxidize, crack
and become worthless. A new tire
should be put into service for awhile
until the cover has been soiled. 1t is
better, however, to have cover for
extra tires. Tires should not be stor-
ed away any great length Of time
in warm place. Light or heat will
cause the sulphur to come to the sur
face and make the cover minutely
porous. After this oxidation takes
place, the nerve fiber of the rubber is
destroyed and naturally the durabil-
ity is greatly impaired.

'rltIon Of that tax was the princi-

constitutional convention in this
state, which is far more import
amt, than ordinary taxation, in
which more than half Of the par
INhcs OF the state would be with
out representation. He thinks
there shoul d he twenty five mem
Drrs Of that convention. There
are slNty-fotr parishes in the
state. He says there ought to be
but two from each congressional
district. Possibly Iberia might
win one, but if she should, scy-
cral other parishes would be
without any. Ills plan gives two
from each congressional district,
and nine to be selected in some
other way. lie docsn tell YOU

inroads on the pure and wholesome water; al

appearance and manner only reinforce the
words he utters. The following sentence
from a news report of one of his speeches
would apply equally we'll to scores of other
addresses I'm speech which was full of
telling points and happy illusions which was
popular without being frivolous, and dignifed
without being dull, Mr.. Choate fulfilled in
a mastery way the difficult duty required of
him"
Famous Sayings and Bon-Mots
Many tales have been told of Choate the
orator, the after-dinner speaker, the author
of innumcrable bon-mots on one occasion
in his early career he had the daring
to rebuke a judge before whom he was argu-
ing case Only a lawyer of Choate's
courtesy and dignity could get away" with
such a thing as that, and it happened more
than once. A Judge in this instance turned
and began talking with some one behind him.
Choate stopped short in his address. The
Judge faced him again and Choate said;
Your Honor, 1 shall need all the time allot-
ted me for summing up, and I shall need your
Honor's undivided attention" "And you shall
have it," the Judge apoogzed. At a banquet
of the bar Choate followed famous racon-
teur, whose hoary stories had driven many
from the room. 1t was at late hour that
Choate rose and commanded attention by
his opening words Mr.. Chairman and Gen
temen, we are all lawyers here tonight-ex-
cept the judges"
Many of his sayings have survived their
occasions. There is the toast to Women,
the better half of the Yankee world at whose
tender summons the Pilgrim Fathers were
ever ready to spring to arms and without
whose aid they never would have achieved
their historic title of the Pilgrim Fathers"
And the well-known answer to n partner at
dinner, who asked him who he would like
to be if he weren't Mr.. Choate. Mrs.
Choate's second husband" was the instan-
taneOus response.
The late Lord Alverstone, in his reminis-
cenCes, paid Mr.. Choate a high compliment
in declaring that among our Ambassadors
to Great Britain, Choate stood equal with
any of them and as a public speaker, SUI
perior. Another Englishman said that
"Choate was never heard to repeat him
self to make a speech without saying
something" Before Choate returned to
America he adopted by the inner circle
of the British Bar and made "bencher''-

the Middle Temple. 1t honor not
conferred on a foreigner since about 1850

"NEUTRALs HAVE NO RIGHTS"

WHILE we are protesting against British
w interference with neutral trade it may
be worth while attempting to learn what the
British people think Of the subject. The atti-
tude of the British seamen is reflected in the
London Nautical Magazine, which says:
Let all neutrals be plainly told that we shall
do anything we choose to cripple the enemy"
Here is more in detail the view Of the maga-
zine:
American interests" forsooth! why II
we rigidly enforced a blockade and agreed
10 pay for any loss In Interests" and could
by this shorten the war by one single
month, IL would us money We are
told that we are spending 100000 pounds
a day that Is 100000 600 pounds a month;
would not such a sum pay for every in
terest that suffered by a rigid blockade?
OF course il would and there would be a
months less loss Of life Yet this Govern
ment continues to write letters 10 the
American Government.
No one can read this sort Of talk without
being convinced that the old British theory
that no one has any rights on the sea which
the British are bound TO respect is stll widely
ana firmly held by many Englishmen.
