Side Lights on the Dedication.

The dedication last Friday was
Alberta's greatest day. Everything
was executed with perfect precision.
The people of this district certainly
ought to feel proud Of these accom-
plishments. Extensive mention and
report of the dedication of the first
teachers home in the United States
was made in every metropolitan daily
newspaper in the Twin Cities, even
in non English American languages.
In the st. Paul Daily News "The
Teachers Manse" was even a large
subject of a splendid editorial. All
the big papers agreed that this was
epochmaking in the history of better
education in the country.
Even the magazines of the country
are now asking for pictures and COM
plete information on this home or
manse for teachers and a history of
the Alberta Consolidated school.
The Rockefeller Foundation will
soon publish a bulletin on the AL
berta school, the first edition consist
ing of 100000 copies. This will re-
lieve much of the work and time now
necessary to answer so many calls for
information.
Petersburg, in the southwestern
part of the state, will next build a
teachers manse. The board of edu-
cation there will have a meeting this
week to act on this. The people there
and at Nicollet have voted in favor
of this big institution. At both
places the building operations will
be begun in the spring. However,
Alberta pioneered the way" as the
big papers put it.

PROPER CARE OF
ALLNNER TUBES
Goodrich Company Gives
Suggestions That Will Give
More Life to Tires

Ways and means of procuring the
>1ngest service from inner tubes
an appurtenance of the automobiles
mechanism that is most neglected
IS the theme of an educational cam
paign instituted by The b. F. Good
rich Rubber Company in the inter
ests of war economy. Many unex-
~Ncted outbursts from air-contain-
rrs originate from Sins of omission"
and commission" and by emphasiZ-
ing the more glaring ones the Good
rich company believes it can save
the motorist dollars that otherwise
would pour into the abyss of waste.
Undue haste in replacing a pune
tured or blown out CuDe is respon-
sible for multitude of these Sins"
The most common mistake is pinch
ing the tube. The tube is inserted
in an uneven or twisted manner. This
causes it to overlap or wrinkle with
the result that in a short time it will
cut through where it has been over
Tapped and we have a leak. The
same trouble is also caused some
times by putting a new tube into
the tire just as it is taken from the
box. When the tube is applied after
mounting, there is sucn an thrush of
air that it will often buckle up the
tube, thereby forcing a tiny section
beneath the bead spreader

achievements of the industry are his.
He it was who won the first speed
contest given in America at the
Charles Power Park Track, Boston,
in September, 1897. In August,
1889. he made the first long overland
journey to be taken by an American

komo to New York City, a distance
of 800 miles. In February of the
same year, he won the Pasadena-Al-

before, must be kept running regard
less of weather conditions" says p.
priscoll, distributor of Studebaker
cars for Harrisburg and vicinity.
The success of our arms abroad,
and those of our Allies depends
much upon our ability to keep every
channel open for the quick trans
poration of foodstuffs, munitions,
etc. To relax our energy in this di-
rection, because of the severity of
the weather, would be literally Civ
ing aid and comfort to the enemy.
Jack Frost is no respecter of per-
sons-he will go out of his way to
pay his respects to an automobile
radiator. The water jackets of the
cylinders are his especial favorites-
1T is no trouble whatever for him to
quickly CONCEAL the water therein.
Not only is this Frost person to be
feared because of the uncomfortable
large repair bills he is capable of
/ causing-but, most of all, he is liable
to put the owners car or truck out
of commission entirely. Too much
depends upon the motorcar these
days to risk such an occurrence.
. Take warning now, Mr.. Motorist,
and provide yourself with few gall
Ions of denatured alcohol, and when
the weather turns in a decided man
ner feed a little into the radiator
thus insuring yourself against dam
age that surely will come otherwise
The proportions depend upon the
temperature. 1t will require a 5
per cent solution of alcohol to pre-
vent freezing at 25 degrees, and a
23 per cent solution will take care
of the water system down to zero.
AS low as 10 below the solution
should be 80 per cent, and if the
mercury happens to drop to Is de-
grees below the percentage will be
35 per cent of alcohol, whereas ten
more degrees below will require a
40 per cent solution. At present
prices glycerine is out of the question
as an anti-freezing agent.
Cover your radiator when car is
allowed to stand idle, and If it is to
| remain in the cold for any length of
| time let it face the wind and not
back up under it. If left in the lat
J ter position the wind has a clear

proper position. The operator
should proceed slowly when apply

the casing it should be given a
couple of "shots" of air, then it
should be applied carefully. the in
side-the side on wnicn the stem
occurs-being always kept inside.
When it is in the casing it should be
"talced" carefully and the fingers
forced all around the tire to make
sure that the tale has been evenly
distributed, and then, before the
loose bead is applied, the tire should
be given n little more air-enough
to round it out nicely and prevent
pinching.
The motorist should be cautined
against using too mucn talc. There
are several powders procurable for
keeping the tube from sticking to the
casing, among these being soapstone,
graphite and tale. but the use of too
much of any of these proves disas-
trous and a collection of substance
in one place eats into the rubber.
If, on the other hand, no powder be
used, it will only be a short time
before the heat generated will cook
the tube.
Under-infation is equally injurious
to tubes. When the under-intlated
tire passes over n stone both casing
and tube are jolted against the rim
and sooner or later a leak will de-
velop. All tires should be inflated
to the standard prescribed by man.

If tire debates suddenly the car
should be stopped Immediately, as
continuous running means that the
casing must slip circumferentially,
ripping the valve stem out and tear
ing the tube.
Sand in casing is another cause
of the ruination of a tube. 1t very
often happens that a motorist. while
repairing puncture on the road,
permits the tube and casing to pick
up particles which create a friction
later and eventually tiny holes,
which will scarcely show when the
tube is submerged in water, assert
themselves. Then the motorist runs
to the dealer and charges him with
selling a porous tube.
Putting understood ees in cas-
ings is Il common fault. This strains
the tube, makes the expansion all
one sided-on the tread side of the
tire-and generally results in a So
norous blowout in No Mans Land.
Sunlight is a natural enemy of in
ner tubes. The Sunlight and any
bright light for that matter, dries out
the tube and makes it brittle and un-
elastic. 1t is then known as a "maca-
roni" tube. A cool, dark place is the
proper refuge for the reserve tube
The effect Of grease and oils on tubes
is well known.
A habit of motorists to carry tubes
unprotected in tool boxes is often re-
sponsible for much subsequent trou-

are chafed and become worn. 1t is
weakened before it is even inserted
in the casing. All tubes should be

for reserve tubes has its penalties

HARD COAL RISE
UPTOPRESIDENT;;
ASCENT ADVANCE
New Scale Would Increase
Miners Pay Is to Al
Per Cent.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The propos-
ed increases in wage scales for an
thracite miners were referred to
President Wilson Yesterday by Fuel
Administrator Garfield.
The increases which, if sanctioned
by the President, will boost the pay
of Pennsylvania hard coal miners
from 15 to A per cent, were agreed
upon by the conference committees
of anthracite miners and operators
on November II. They were drawn
conditional to higher retail prices
which would absorb the proposed
wage advances and keep the oper-
atorS in pocket.
This would mean about As cents
a ton additional on present anthra-
cite prices.
Profound secrecy as to the recon-
mendationS concerning the increases
made to the President by DR.. Gar
field was maintained by the fuel ad-
ministratio Action on them is now
expected before next week.
When the new wage table was
presented, the fuel administrator
said fatty that no increases in wages
could be sanctioned unless definite
proof was forthcoming that this fur
ther drain on the consumers purse
is justifiable. For the last two weeks
officers of the fuel administration
have been examining all available
data of the trade to determine If this
is the case.
BY decree of the President, btu
minous prices were recently increas-
ed to cover new wage scale for soft
coal miners, agreed upon in October.
Bituminous prices had, however,
been severely cut in the original
price fixing order, while anthracite
remained at about the same level.
1t is generally believed that the
forthcoming wage scale will be a
pretty even compromise between
present wages and those demanded
by the miners and conditionally
agreed to by the hard coal operators.

Maxwell Trucks Used to
Advantage on Farms

There are two important invest
mentS necessary to success in the
agricultural field according to Robert
NJ. Mueller, a leading farmer resid-
ing in Dakota county. He has made
both investments and found them
paying propositions.
The chief in Importance is the
purchase of farm-a home for the
family and the means of earning a
livelihood. The next financial in
vestment should be motor truck to
obtain economical transportation OF
farm products to market.
Il feel as If an unexpected inher-
itance had fallen to me because the
Maxwell truck l purchased last Fall
is making a pleasure of the work
which was formerly a drudgery,"
Mueller says.
The Minness a farmer found that
the one-ton Maxwell truck mate
rally increased the time at his dis
posal for both work and recreation.
This gain was made although Muel-
Ter was farming on a larger scale
than ever before.
Marketing my farm products by
motor car has dispersed all my
doubts about the advisability and
practicability of such transportation
SERVICE" is the final judgment of
Mueller.
My horses were in much better
shape, than for the past few years,
for the fall plowing. The long hauls
to the city in previous years had
worn-out my teams, which slowed up
the work of the horses in the field.
Mueller states that he has found
the easy starting and the handling
of the Maxwell truck has so lighten-
ed his hauling work that farm life
appeals more and more to him. He
uses solid tires for equipping the
Maxwell to avoid any worry about
tire trouble, but the truck provides
an easier riding vehicle than the
large, heavily loaded wagons which
formerly tired him.
"I consider the money paid for the
Maxwell truck the best investment
1 made since the purchase of my
farm" declares Mueller in his en-
thusiasm over the relief from wagon
riding WEAKNESS.
II have not tried to test the Max
well to it's utmost capacity but know
that / can go along with a load of
ton and a quarter or a ton and a
half anywhere with perfect eRse,"I
said Mueller.
He alleges that the truck possesses
sufficient reserve power and cites in
stances of the pulling force of the
motor. Mueller runs his Maxwell
truck on high gear, uphill and slows
down almost to a stop and then goes
right along up the hill without shift
ing the gears.

De Palma With Twin-Six
Engine Breaks Record

Officials of the A. A. A. are maxi
ing up their formal report on the
record-breaking achievements of
Ralph De Palma on the Sheepshead
Bay Speedway, November 16, in his
aeroplane Twin Six car. Meanwhile,
eongratulatory messages are pouring
in on De Palma and the Packard en-
gineers.
According to the figures which
there is every reason to believe the
A. A. A. will certify as official, De
Palma averaged more than 1O9 miles
an hour for the entire six hours, de-
spite stops, for tire changes, oil and
gas, aggregating more than 13 min
utes.
De Palma's speed car is equipped
with Packard Twin Six engine, avia-
tion type, of 800 cubic inch dis
placement. Both engine and chassis
were built in the Packard expert
mental shops. The records he broke
were held by Dario Resta, Gene

alternately drove a Sunbeam car on
the Brooklands trark, London, 566
miles. The Sunbeam was of 600
cubic inches displacement. The rec
ord, established October 1, 1913, was
not even closely approached until
De Palma tackled 1t. He drove the
entire distance himself. The Sun
beam averaged 81 miles per hour.
The first hour De Palma covered
1926 miles; second hour, 112.45;
third hour, 109.85; fourth hour,
110.14; fifth hour, 107.14; sixth hour,
105.52.
Those who saw the steady grind,
pronounced the run the most re-
markable exhibition of speed and en-
durance on record and warmly con-
graduated De Palma.
De Palma's face was badly whip
ped by the 110 mile gale and his
mechanician, Jimmy Stees, was ex-
hausted and half-frozen at the end
of the run. De Palma used Good
year tires which gave a splendid ac-
count of themselves. The right
front tire went 447 miles before il
was changed, and was by no means
worn through.
