FAST LIFE IS NOT
 NEEDED ID WIN

"A man may accomplish much in a few years. and he need not lNe a fast life to do it. declared Dr. John Logan Marquis in the course of a New Year sermon at the First Presbyterian church yesterday morning. Dr. Mar ouis took for his text the inquiry Of Pharaoh to Jacob, "HOw old art thou? 7" and from it proceeded to draw numer- ous lessons appropriate to the New Year.
 Characterizing the life of the seeker after pleasure, excitement, power or fame as mere merry go round exist ence that makes no real progress, Dr. Marquis called the attention of hlr hearers to the need for real living. The merry y-go-round affords the childish rider some degree of pleasure, the throng that is ready to gather around and watch one pass by year after year in the public eye gives the illusion or fame. the skill required to hold ones place on a wooden horse brings with it a sense of power, and thrill ot excitement, but the result so far as progress is concerned is nil. Contrast ing the life of the pleasure seeker with the life of service, the speaker also forciblv brought to his audience the three ways in which age is measured, in time, in achievement, and in out look. How old a man is depends not alone upon the years of his life, but how much he has accomplished, and upon his outlook, whether it be the forward look of youth or the retrospect of age. For real achievement, and for a satisfied outlook, Dr. Marquis de- clared, the Christian life of service of- fered the only avenue of genuine suc- cess. The sermon closed with strong plea for more consecrated lives in the coming year.

Attention should be given to pune lures, cuts, snags and other injuries, even though they may appear to be trivial. Small injuries of seeming un- importance often grow into serious con sequences. It is advisable to have the repairs made by an experienced work man. AS 8 usual thing, the amateur does not reinforce the injury, when needed, and is apt to vulcanize the rubber too long-this not only makes it hard and brittle but burns the ma terials around the repair.
 Pieces of fabric of different sizes placed inside of the tire, regardless of the weave of threads, will wrinkle, separate and not afford any appreciable strength of reinforcement.
 All fabrics, for every style of repair should be cut on a bias in the same manner that the fabric is cut for the original construction of tires. Repairs that are hard and bulge arc generally a result of cutting the fabric straight with the roll, j. c., lengthwise and with the warp.

OBITUARIES
Andrew Downing

The end of a long, useful and happy life came to Andrew Downing, one of the most loved and highly respected citizens of Phoenix came at the Dea- coness hospital last Wednesday morn ing. MT. Downing was born at Mount Carroll, Illinois, March Il, 1888. He leaves a brother E. H. Downing, and a sister, Mrs. Mary E. Fettrow, both of Attica, Kans., and a brother. s. B. F. Downing, of Ainsworth, Nebraska, and sister, Mrs. Flora Clay, of Coun- cil Bluffs, Iowa. Mir. Downing came to Phoenix with his wife, Laura Chase Downing, seventeen years ago and they continuously made this city their home until the death of Mrs. Downing about three years ago.
 MT. Downing served through the war of the rebellion and after that was engaged in the newspaper business in Kansas and Iowa. His last active service was for many years in the pen sion bureau as a special agent. It was immediately after his retirement from the bureau that he came to Phoenix, where he and Mrs. Downing gave themselves more fully to literary pur- suits in which they had been engaged. Their work was published in a volume of poems, The Trumpeters," which has been widely and favorably received.
 Both NIT. and Mrs. Downing took an active part in civic matters and in every movement for the betterment of the community. MT. Downing was an earnest and active member of the G. A. R. and of the Illinois society, off, ciating for the latter and for other state societies as a writer of verses for their annual meetings. His verses were so graceful and his themes so happy that he became known through out the state as the poet laureate of Arizona.
 His death was deeply mourned by a wide and ever widening circle of friends,

Care and Usage of Inner Tubes

If the tire users understood the con- struction of inner tubes, and things which contribute to their wearing out, it would be easy indeed, to secure more and better service. Spare tubes should not be carried in cardboard boxes as furnished from the dealers shelves there is danger of the tubes being chafed. Tube bags can be secured for this purpose.
 If the car is equipped with smaller tires on the front wheels than on the rear wheels, an extra tube should be secured for each size.
 The cross sections of inner tubes are made 8 little smaller than the normal air space inside of the cases. It is not advisable to use AZ inch tube in inch ease. This usually wrinkles and creases the rubber with bad results. Do not use a 4 inch tube in 41a inch case for any length of time. When this is done the rubber is required to stretch too much and the effect of heat and action due to displacement of ail in the tire quickly uses up the life oi the tube.
 fabrication is most important tt conservation of the tube, but it is : matter that is given least attention Practically all tire manufacturers trea' the inside of cases with a white solu tion to prevent tubes from sticking tt the adhesive "friction" of the fabri, "a good lubricant, however, should b. used.
 Some customers neglect dusting soap stone inside of the case when changini a tube-others use the soapstone g sparingly that it does but little, if an, good, or they may use so much that i does more harm than good.

Repair of Cord Tires.

The came method of tearing down and building up fabric cases can be used in the repair of most cord tires.
 The cord can be obtained from the manufacturer just as the regular fab ric is obtained and is applied in the same way. It is possible to build up sectional repairs with regular fabric, but the repaired section will be stiffer and less elastic than other parts of the tire, and there is some danger of the repair pumping and loosening in serv- ice. It is not recommended.
 The new cord layers should be ap- piled so that the cords will run parallel with the cords of the layer removed, putting the new material up tightly against the old material. It is then ad- vissble to apply a thin, narrow strip of cushion gum over the joints. The same breaker strip fabric and chaing strip fabric is used as in the repair of fabric cases. No special equipment is
 ,cessary for the yulcanizing of cord aaeo.

Soapstone is the lubricant most used for tires and it is quite satisfactory, but not lasting; therefore a fresh sup ply should be put into the tires at least two or three times during the season. Powdered mica has proven more dur able lubricant than soapstone and quite as effective as graphite, as well as moro pleasant to handle.
 Pinching of an inner tube usually occurs from oversight or carelessness in application of tire to rim.

Illustration shows how the tube may be caught underneath bead of case. This may occur from putting too much air in the tube before application or from not using care to keep tube away from rim until beads of case have been properly engaged in clinches of rim. This may also occur from using a tube of wrong size. For example, a AZ inch tube in inch case. If flap works out of position when the tire is being applied to rim, tube may be injured by flap or beads of case. When a tire is ridden soft there is tendency for the beads to lift up at the toes due to the internal pressure and weight of car and sometimes permit tube to work under bead. This is aggravated when the tire has been constantly ridden soft and beads have been cut and broken by rim.
 Don't crowd a tire of wrong size on q rim simply because you are able to do so, by physical force. It is not econ

 Deterioration, contrary to the gen

 the conditions under which tires ara

 Tires should not b kept in a warm place for any great length of time, as light and heat will cause the sulphur
 to come to the surface and make the
 rubber infinitely porous. A dark, dry
