Care in Driving Reduced
Upkeep Cost of Motor Car

The largest part of the upkeep of
an automobile can be held down by
saving tires through proper driving
and adjustments. according to George
F. Heising, chief engineer of the
Moon Motor Car Company.
With careful driving the average
cost of tires in a year is SO per cent.
of the total upkeep, according to
Heising He figures that means one
set of tires in year and a mileage of
5000 miles.
Careless driving will double the tire
expense or increase the total annual
expense from $425 to $3.50 per year
an increase of SO per cent. or a total
tire expense of 81 per cent.
Here are points TO remember in
keeping down tire expense, according
to Heising: avoid quick starts and
stops. don't take corners on two
wheels. avoid rocks. keep holes in
castings plugged up. keep your brakes
so adjusted that they will not lock
the wheels completely.

VERDUN ASSAULT
CAUSED BY SHORTAGE
Warns Swedes to Realize
That Central Powers
Will Be Losers

Stockholm, via London, June 23.-The
Swedish trade journal Affarsvarlden, rep
resenting the best business interests in
Sweden, yesterday printed a remarkable
editorial commenting on the war, in
which it says: 1T is time for the Swedes
to realize that the outcome cannot be
favorable to the central powers" The
food question. says the newspapers, will
decide the war, and it declares that the
bad situation in Germany is responsible
for the reckless offensive at Verdun and
the German attempt to win naval bat
tie"
1--WE will not attempt to prophesy on
IA conclusion of peace" says the article
"but it is important for our business
men, irrespective of sympathy or preiu-
dice, not to be too sure OF their calcula.
tions, as there may be a surprise in store
for them. The central powers cannot OBJ
tain a peace advantageous to them"
Swedish business interests are gener-
ally supposed to be friendly TO Germany,
as for many years trade with that coun-
try has outweighed any other and this
article in a representative trade journal
is regarded here with much interest.
