INNER TUBES OF RUBBER SPONGE

For some time, the brains and time
bf many men have been occupied in
q search for a substitute or modif-
cation of the pneumatic tire for auto
mobiles. We have seen about every
thing from metal springs to tires
made with the regular tire casing
but containing solid block of gum
used as a bumper. The season of tire
filters occupies now only a page in
the history of this search. Springs
have been discarded because of their
slowness to respond, and it has been
decided by the great majority of auto
mobile owners that nothing rides as
easy as air, and rather than use tire
filters they would substitute solid
tires and have done with ii.
The latest and most promising
substitute for the air filler is rubber
sponge, which fulflls all the condi-
tons necessary for a successful tire
filler.
Recently, tires filled with this ma
terial were driven 1850 miles with
an average speed of IS miles an hour
without any apparent deterioration
OF the filling material.-Chemic

HOLDERS IN WALL
Unusual characterization That Improves
the Looks of Surroundings OF
House in California.

Flower containers, which are unusu-
al in appearance and striking because
of the contrast which they present to
their surroundings, have been built in
to the center Of each of three sections
of a smooth brick wall in front of a
Los Angeles residence. The wall is sur
mounted by an ornamental iron fence
except at the points where the flower
holders stand. Each cOntainer consists
of rough, irregular masses resembling
Stag, which are cemented together into
a symmetrical shape; each holder
stands about three and one-half feet
high, is a foot or a little more in
diameter at the base, and three feet
wide at the top.-Popular Mechanics

AlRMEN GIVEN SEVERE TESTS
Candidates for Service Must Prove
Their Competence Before Being
Allowed to Enroll In Corps.

The romance of war" has died a
natural death in the trenches OF
Flanders. There is very little TO
nance in standing immersed to your
middle in half-frozen mud and wa
ter. But in the flying corps it is
another matter. There victory and
success depend upon a mans per-
sonal abilities and resources, and SO
the British Royal Flying corps has
. superabundance of candidates. Be-
cause of the heavy taxes this service
imposes upon mans physical and
mental equipment, the tests are very
severe.
The aerial service cannot afford to
have nervous men, and so the tests
in this regard are very stringent; a
"trembler," an instrument for deter
mining the steadiness of the hand, is
one test. Then the candidate is
seated, and an instrument to record
his breathing is fastened to his
breast. When he least expects it, a
photographers flashlight is ignited,
or pistol discharged behind him,
and the amount of shock, and its
effect upon his respiration, nerves
and heart, is duly recorded.
The sight and hearing also receive
careful attention, and also the can
didate's ability, to resist fatigue. This
is determined by inserting the fore
finger into device, and by moving
it back and forward, raising and
lowering a weight. The man con-
tinues this until fatigue prevents
further movement. Recording in
struments determine whether he has
sufficient endurance to manipulate
the levers in his aircraft for a long
period.

The Arabs Cloak.

The cloak the Arab wears is cut
square. It Is his universal and in
separable covering. It is his coat by
day and his blanket by night. 1t was
this cloak that in Old Testament times
had to be returned at night-fall if it
had been taken in pledge during the
day. Otherwise the Semitic would have
had no covering when he slept. These
abas. as they are called, are becoming
popular In England.

Notice..

Because of war times and the
great necessity of saving man.
power and expense of doing
business we have decided to
adopt the central delivery sys
TEN of goods from our stores
and have made arrangements
whereby we will make one de-
livery each day to each customer,
thereby cutting down the ex.
pense of a double system of
delivery. In orderSto do this
orders for delivery must reach
our stores on the day before
delivery is made.
We hope that our many
customers will assist us in every
way possible in putting this
system in operation and we will
endeavor to have it work out to
the benefit Of all our customers.
Yours very truly,
A. Holgren
e. P. Lysager.

Ready for Big Dance.

All preparations have been
made for the big New Years
Dance to be given at the Opera
House on New Years Eve for the
benefit of the Bayfield, County
Soldiers Christmas fund. There
is every indication that this will
be the biggest dance ever given
in the city for many tickets have
been sold in advance and very
few have refused to purchase
tickets.
The money derived from the
dance has been used to purchase
Christmas presents for the Bay
field County Soldier boys and
these have already gone forward
to all parts of the United States
and to foreign lands.
