WATCH TIRES FOR
LITTLE BREAKS

In view Of the present national aim
of economy. the Diamond Tire Company
sends out the following valuable tire
hints to motorists:
Keep tire inflated to 20 pounds per
inch of cross section. Of the diameter
of your tire is 4 inches, the pressure
should be 20x4 or so pounds.)
Examine the inside casing occasion
ally to see If fabric is ruptured. II
any breaks are found, have them repair
ed at once This will frequently prevent
blowouts. Before taking extended trips,
this is wise precaution.
Don't put a quick detachable cIinch-
er tire on a o~ne-piece clincher rim. as it
is necessary to break the bead in fore
ing the tire into place.
Extra castings should be put in ser
vice at regular intervals. Don't wait
4ntil you are forced to change tires, nut
orange to give all your castings equal
service. a casing not in use will age
n time. and you Will not get maximum
service.
BE sure your tube is the proper size
or your casing. If it is too small it
will burst-if too large it will wrinkle
md chafe the casing.
Don't drive at top speed the greater
art of the time. or If you do. don't ex-
ect as much mileage from your tires
s you would otherwise obtain.
Use the throttle more n the brakes
ess.
IF one side Of the tire shows more
car than another. turn It round
Keep grease and oils away from
your tires and tubes.
Keep your tires well pumped up"

How It Came to Be
Called "fSolar Plexus''

The solar plexus" punch vas the big
thing in Bob Fitzsimmons' life. It won
a worlds heavyweight title for him
and. though that particular blow prob
ably had ended many a famous fight, it
was never ~dignihed with a name until
Fttz brought Jim Corbett down with it
at Carson City on St. Patrick's day in
1897.
And this is the history Of just how it
came to be called the solar phxus
punch, Jim Corbett was on a newspap-
err special. which raced through the
Mountains on the way back TO San
Francisco. Corbett was in charge or a
physician and seemed to be suffering
greatly from the body blow that had
ended his reign as king of the Queens
bury realm. w. w. Naughton, the
writer: IT. r. williams. business mana
ger Of the San Francisco Examiner;
Max Newberry. the artist. and Corbett's
doctor were trying to determine the ex-
act location Of the spot on which FItz's
famous blow had landed.
Naughton thought it was over the
heart. williams had hts notion of the
spot. and Newberry dug a finger under
the doctors ribs and said. That's
where it landed. right there"
That's the solar plexus," remarked
the doctor in an ofhand way.
Say that again. said Naughton
eagerly. What did you call it?"
The solar plexus." repeated the doc
tor. And as the solar plexus punch it
went into Naughton's copy" n as the
solar plexus punch 1t went out to the
world, to become the most famous blow
in all the history of the ring

results of their investigation
The county authorities realize that there no other
way to detect the bootleggers than by means of de-
tectves The regular officers who known by sight

have appeared witnesses that they have to

The homestead entry is probably the
most ancient means of acquiring gov

long been, the most popular and com
