PUNCTURES near VALVE
DUE To CARELESSNESS
Tube and Casing Frequently Put on
Rim Improperly.

why do so many Of the tires that come
TO repair men have q small hole within
the radius Of two inches Of the valve
stem?
]. L. wacksmuth, local manager Of the
Goodrich Rubber Company says 1t Is be-
cause of the habit Of motorists. in apply
ing q tube and casing to the rim. to push
the tube valve-stems through ths hose
In the rim and then pull the stem through
as far as possible. The beads Of the
casing are then seated on the rim and IL
Is locked and the air pressure put in the
tube for initiating.
BY pulling the valve stem all the way
through In the manner above mentioned.
the valve spreader on the tube Is tilted
up on the casing bead In such q manner
that the portion Of the tube Ia pinched
between the spreader and the bead and
as soon a. air II applied the tube under
pressure endeavors to loosen itself from
the pinch between the spreader and
beads. The result Is a small hole in the
tube. Often the valve stem does not
point straight and the motorist in en-
deavoring to straighten It, pinches the
tube as mentioned above. To avoid
pinching q tube In this way the motorist
should proceed as follows:
Place the tube in the casing. initiate the
tube with Just enough air to round 1t
out so as to take on the shape Of the
casing, apply casing to rim by putting
valve stem through the hole in the rim,
but do not pull It through, just stick the
end through the hole. II It comes through
any further push It back so that when
you place the tire on the rim the valve
stem spreader will be clear Of the tire
beads and avoid pinching the tube at this
point. The main point in trying to avoid
ptnching the tube Is to make sure that
thu valve stem IL pushed back as far az
possible when applying the casing to the
rim.

SUBMITS LITTLE CODE
FOR MOTOR MANNERS

The Detroit Motor Club has issued a
guide for motorists as to their attitude
toward traffic regulations and toward
the public. 1t is called "Detroit's Code
Of Manners and is as follows:
"City ordinances are not necessarily
repressive. They are meant to be of aid
in the general movement of congested
traffic. They are helpful to motorists
collectively and are Of service to the
driver individually. Any given automo-
bile, thus, probably would be smashed to
pieces every day were it not for the gen.
eral protection provided by laws pri-
marily for the benefit of all.
Don't therefore, be in ignorance OF
traffic regulations.
Courteous driving provides a definite
insurance protection which otherwise
cannot be bought. Accidents and wrecks
will not descend upon the ordinarily
driven automobile. Statistics show that
a huge majority of mishaps result from
speeding or from various other forms OF
carelessness or traffic rule violations.
No record exists so far Of q railway
train having left its track to hit a motor
car. The fact that automobiles must first
get in front Of trains to be hit adds en-
phasis to the deduction that the more
careful and mannerly the motorist Is the
more certain is the atmosphere OF pro-
lection and safety he surrounds himself
with.
Don't. therefore, be an obstacle In the
path of progress of automobile good
driving.
ut is the belief Of this organization
that any motorist who makes of these
suggestions a part Of his daily life will
voluntarily forego the practice of many
minor infractions that are common to au-
tomobile use, such as glaring headlights,
improper parking, unfair conduct on
country highways. and so on

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

A stalwart in forest grand,
A man revered throughout the land;
man who by his honest toll
Reached heights that fame nor pride
could spoil,
And that was Abraham Lincoln.
To the great God he loved so true,
He prayed for guidance the turmoil
through,
With his firm hand that the world
might see,
He wrote, and set a chained race free.
That was the brave. just Lincoln.
And when the fierce conflict was DER
Peace presaged for all once more;
With pure barred brow on battlefield.
He praised the men that did not yield,
For right is right, it will prevail,
When cruel wrong doth right assail,"
Thus saith the noble Lincoln.
Within a realm SO wondrous fair
With saints and the mighty gathered
there,
With crown and palm of victory,
He's robed for age with immortality,
The immortal Lincoln.
Cursed the craven who crushed him
low;
Precious the life that ebbed SO slow,
Worthy the man whom nations pay
Merited honor on the natal day
OF the beloved, martyred Lincoln.

are confronting her-that of agricul-
ture. The land problem is the basis
of our Russian life because the main
riches of Russia lie in her soil. No
country has such soil as Russia. If
one considers that population of only
S0,000,000 has to cultivate the sixth
part of the globe, one realizes that
Russia cannot do it adequately with
the means which she possesses at pres
ent. The most urgent question of the
morrow is the importation of agricul-
tural machinery.
Until today the greater part of the
machines that we needed came from
Germany. Buying our wheat for next
to nothing, Germany protected her in
dustries nevertheless. The same one
sided commercial treaty made Russia
pay a high price for the machinery
that she imported. There was besides
that customs duty.
1t depends on the energy and on the
good will of American business men
themselves that cooperation between
the two nations be assured on profit
able but fair basis. Americans should
arrange with the best qualified men Of
Russia so that America is enabled to
take her place in our market for the
supplying of the machines which Ger
many occupied hitherto. The field of
activity is immense in that direction.
Not only must America supply agri-
cultural machines. She can also, and
hope she will also, help by her knowl-
edge of what is termed Square miles
agriculture" instead of "acre cultiva-
ton" In this Americans are much
more competent than Germans. A few
years ago l myself studied the agricul-
tural question in Germany. l found
the German fields to be much more like
small market gardens; so small in
fact, that one could almost work them
with a spade. On the contrary, North
America and Russia are alike from
this point of view, that they both need
and both take agriculture as broad
proposition to be dealt with in terms
of square miles.
l am convinced that free Russia,
once we have rid ourselves of the in
Vulnerable offices filled by ministers
and officials who were most incompe-
tent and never should have been given
the posts they were occupying before
the revolution, will take big jump in
the evolution of the life of my country

Russian peasant" sums up the moan
ing complaint of the muzhik under
the Romanoff dynasty. He has reused
little but contempt in the minds of the
workingmen of Europe and America;
he has inspired the saddest songs Of
Russia. But there were men like Leo
Tolstoy-men who lacked the surety
of his prophetic genius, the clearness
of his outlook, his grasp of the essen
tials-yet feeling an intense pity for
the long suffering Russian peasant,
and they have helped in freeing him.
The muzhik is most lovable. The world
owes him a debt that it can never re-
pay. By the sweat of his brow and
the sufferings of his soul he has paid
for the building of the new freedom
from which we will all benefit. Others
have tasted the joy of fighting for
their ideal, others have striven for
their souls freedom and enjoyed the
glamour of public success. Tilling the
| soil in his far-away land, obscure and
uncared for, the Russian peasant alone
made this new harvest possible. His
astounding forbearance and abnega-
ton, the Christlike self-denying of
him, stand out before US all, wonder
full monument which commentaries
the slow birth of New Russia.
The Muzhik seeks nc reward. All
he asks is the opportunity for more
work, for better tools to do it with,
and for better means of communica-
ton to dispose of its results. This
America can afford him. This America
has offered him. 1t were pity if this
generous offer from a great nation did
not prove absolutely efficient. In or
der to avoid any waste of energy,
America must know what is most
needed and how best to bestow 1t.
Americans need thoro understanding
of the conditions prevalent thruout the
country to which their generous hearts
have prompted them to offer brotherly
help.
Twenty years ago, the Russian peas
ant received five rubles month as
day laborer The average cost of land
was $50 an acre and one could rent it
at prices ranging from So to $5 a
year The price fetched by wheat
was one cent for two pounds.
Now, the soil of Russia is very rich.
Yet, in spite of good land and usually
good harvest, except in famine years,
and much patience, the Russian muz--
hik led miserable life. Luxuries, of
course, he never knew. Simple COM
forts that your average American
farmer requires he seldom enjoyed. He
had few commodities and too often
toiled in state of chronic hunger.
The quantity of wheat he raised lasted
him, as rule, until Lent, that is, until
springtime. After that he had to buy
what he needed. The consequence was
that our peasant contracted debts
which made his position worse: One
could not even blame him for his too
frequent indulgence in vodka. The
sorrowful depression of his life and
surroundings, his utter lack of hope
in any better state of affairs, drove
