The P. M. Lawrence CO. Will Hold
Tire Conservation Day FRIDAY

one of the greatest factors in popula r
lzlng the motor car has been the vast I'm
provement in automobile tires. In the
oloen days the tire question was about
the biggest bugaboo that disturbed the
motorists peace Of mind If he started
on journey he was indeed fortunate If
he ever finished it. His troubles were q
fertile field for the comic supplements
and many jokes were cracked at his ex-
pense.
All this is changed today. Tires are In.

though tires are being built with much
hisher factor of safety and dependa bilty
'iiah ever before, and much greater mile
age bullt into them at the factory. thou
sands of motorists are constantly dis
carding tires that have failed to reach
their three score and ten, through no
fault of the tires
Millions of miles that were built into
the tires failed of attainment last wear

torist, himself.
50 a national tire conservation move.
ment mas been inaugurated with the OBJ
Ject Of showing motorists everywhere
methods of tire care that will add MANY
miles to the performance of their tires
Carrying out this idea The P. NJ. Law.
renee Co. Of Augusta, Maine, has ar
ranged to have a tire expert from The
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co, assist in
the observance Of Tire Conservation Day
on Friday, Aug II.
There is no question that motorists OF
Augusta and vicinity can get more miles
from their tires" says Mr.. Lawrence
so we have secured this expert to come
to our place to demonstrate the simple
methods Of tire care that will add won
derfully to tire mileage We have not
asked him to make a stock demonstra
ton speech, but have arranged for him
to give individual attention to every mo-
torist that has tire problem 70 be
worked out.
He will show just how tires are made,
from the crude rubber to the finished
tire. and will have tires with him illus
trating every kind of tire weA that mo-
torsts experience Methods Of combat
ting each one Of these particular kinds OF
tire trouble will be fully explained.
I'VE feel that our local motorists are
entitled to know how. they can avoid the
disappointments that come from putting
away tires that have not attained their
ruli mileage, and We are expecting that
Tire Conservation Day at our place will
result in an increase Of thousands Of
miles Of tire performance.-Adv.

1t was a sober lot Of boys who came
home from Brunswick, Wednesday morn
ing discharged from the Burleigh Bat
terry, Milliken regiment, 1st Maine H. F.
A., because Of physical disability. There
were 80 Of them who failed TO pass, and
they left l45 almost as sober who success
fully passed-not sober because they
passed, but because 50 mighty good fell
lows were sent home.
The officers of the battery did every
thing they could to get their men
through, and held to them even after it
was known that bad teeth was to turn
down" many Of their most promising
soldiers.
AS stated Wednesday morning by the
Associated Press report, the majority OF
discharges were given because Of poor
teeth. Defective eyesight also figured.
But still there is hope for the d!sconso-
late go. TAey have unanimously request
ed and have been granted another ex-
amina alton They will get strenuously
busy having teeth fixed up and eyes doc
tored Augusta dentists and eye sp.c.
ialists are in for a wave Of trade.
Every discharged maa from Battery r
brought home glimpse Of :he atmos-
phere that pervades the car2-loyalty,
readiness for any work good fellowship.
"The officers Of BatterT J; are princes.
everyone Of them" declared one Of these
men. I'VE didn't really know them here
at home, but when you live with them
day and night and learn that they are
loyal to you and are with us, sink or
swim, then you know that you would go
Though fire and water for them. There
isn't the smallest suggestion of streak
of yellow In a single one of them. They
are true blue, ready to do their part and
more and do it in way that Is fai- to
every man Gee! I hated to leave that
bunch of fellows. and I'm going back and
try again
From Brunswick comes word that some
of the 80 are sure to get b. next time,
for they know just what to prepare for
now.
The Burleigh battery Is now reduced to
AS, but its hopes are high for additions
from the ranks of those discharged and
elsewhere. The lucky H5 are happy to
have passed. ard entered into digging
trenches, Wednesday morning with a

ANT1-SUFFRAGE
"SECRET SESSION"
HELD WEDNESDAY
Mrs. Wadsworth, Presi-
dent Of National AS
sociation Opposed to
Suffrage, Speaks Be-
fore Ladies

Mrs. James ". Wadsworth. Jr., Of
New York and Washington, president
of the National Association Opposed
to Suffrage, was in Augusta Wednes-
day afternoon and spoke. at the home
OF Mrs. John F. Hill, State street, be-
fore about so ladies. The reporter was
invited by the hostess to hear what
Mrs. Wadsworth had to say, twice she
called and twice she left without hear
ing Mrs. Wadsworth. Mrs. Wadsworth
was apparently willing to speak, but
such was not to be her fortune, for
hedged in by more strenuous support
ers Of the cause she was silenced, as
far as the reporter could CLEAN.
= OF course Augusta was delighted by
the call of such charming lady. Mrs
Wadsworth, formerly Miss Alice Hay,
a Washington, D. c., BELLE her husband
being Senator James W. Wadsworth
of Groveland, n. Y, is a most gracious
lady and highly pleasing to meet. The
reporters first call was brought to
close with the information that the
session which was about to take place
vas not for the public, but rather for
the ears Of the chosen, and SO with
out doubt, such a meeting could be
called a secret session. While the la
dies in their gay summer dresses and
bewitching manners went into the
beautiful Hill home. the reporter made
a hasty exit, with the instructions to
call again within an hour.
= The reporters second call was made
AT o'clock, and apparently directly
after the secret session, for the Ia
dies were coming out or standing
around in groups. Feeling by this time
real well acquainted the reporter
walked boldly in and stood in one cor
ner waiting, but all the time feeling.
We'll. there now I'll surely get some
thing this time" After being noticed
and properly introduced to others and
also properly labeled as "the Journal
reporter the formality of news" was
begun. But again, there was disap-
polntment. for the reporter was met
with the information that Mrs. Wads-
worth would prepare for the paper
what was wanted and the results of
the secret session" were not mention
eo as being included. The reporter said
she would have liked to have heard
Mrs. Wadsworth speak for she might
have been converted. and then from
that point on the reporter was not re-
Garded as a kennebec Journal fixture
altogether, but somewhat in the light
OF poor unfortunate THAT hot bed
of pestilence" and like phrases we're
used in attempting to show the poor
reporter the light" and the second
attempt to get to Mrs. Wadsworth was
brought to a close.
