busy to pay much attention to poll
tics. The genius who will invent an
automobile with only one tire will
ascend to fame and riches in large
magnificent spiral.
Tires frequently show almost SUI
perhunan intelligence. A chauffeur
may get hopelessly lost, but a tire
always knows the exact spot on every,
road which is farthest from repair
shop, or lunch counter, and does
its exploding there. Moreover, tires
are excellent judges Of time. A tire

for long. Sooner OF later, every

PNEUMATIC TIRES

TT HE pneumatic tire is the
turkey buzzard in the ointment
Of the automobile owner. It
was invented about twenty years ago
by man who thought the recording
angel had sinecure. 1t was COM
plete success. Within five years, the
K A. had put nine assistants in the
profanity department, had been COM
pelled to install adding machines and
loose-leaf ledgers, and was working
night shift right through the
summer.
The pneumatic tire is a hollow tube
filled with wind and is fastened 10 the
wheel with the aid of bolts, nuts.
screws, cable wires, hooks and glue.

great promoter Of walking. The tire

terf1ies' wings. 1t is, therefore. NJ
trick at all to poke hole In 1t with
a nail, rock or bottle. When this
is done, the' imprisoned air at once
rushes forth and mingles with the
surrounding atmosphere so thor.
oughly that 1t is almost impossible
TO get 1t back intact.
The occurrence is called puncture
A bad puncture is accompanied by a
loud kissing rush of air on the part
of both the tire and the owner. The
latter. to fix the tire, must remove II
with the aid OF levers, crowbars,
screw-drivers, derricks and blasting
powder, and must put patch on the
inner tube. 1t is while persuading
the tire to get back on the rim and
become fat and useful again that the
automobilist uses the rich, redolent
words which clog up the adding
machine in the Recording Angels
Office, and has compelled him to do
away with the girl angels In that
department.
Automobile tires not only have
punctures, but blow-outs. A blow
out IS a $45 explosion with apoplexy
trimmings. Tires also have creeps,
skids, burns, blisters, slow leaks and
necrosis of the fabric. Any one Of
these disorders will strand a $4,000

What can do?" asked Bemerton.
"Give her a sealskin," suggested
Nichols
'she has one. Besides, that would
require time. I've got to face her to-
night when go home"
THE only thing you can do" said
ellison, "that can be done tonight is
to telephone to flower shop and have
1t send you fine bouquet of flowers
to take home with you"
Bemerton was not favorably Impress
ed with the plan. He said that he had
forgotten every anniversary Of his
wedding day as it came round and the
customary gift, his wife reminding him
OF It month after it had passed. To
take her flowers now seemed like CIV
ing her taffy. However, at that hour
1t was the only thing he could do; SO,
calling up a flower shop, he directed
the proprietor to send the handsomest
basket Of flowers he could make up.
Then he threw off care and, with his
friends, spent delightful evening,
marred only by a telephone message
from DR.. Gilson's better half to know
If he was at the club and one from a
patient of Dr. Nichols asking If the
medicine he had ordered had better
be taken at IL O'clock or quarter
past II.
But all good times must come to an
end, and the trio at last separated. At
the door Of the club Bemertons two
friends admonished him to do lot
Of petting when he got home, confess
ing himself brute and relying on the
floral gift to set matters right Bemer-
ton didn't say anything. He knew
his wife and that she was not one to
be coddled.
When the doctor opened his front
door he found the lights turned down
and the silence Of oblivion. Excellent!
Perhaps his wife was asleep. He
would not have to face her till morn
ing. Taking off his shoes and leaving
the flowers in the hall, he crept up
stairs

their wives would be furious. They
suggested that bring you ten dol

Flowers! Don't you bring me flow

and Jennie hasn't a decent dress to
her name. If you had spent $40 for
such worthless things I'd have sent
