The struggle between them lasted g
week-a ghastly week, during which,
their life flowed along in its accus-
toned channels. But at all sorts of
times, and in all sorts of places, when
they were alone together, the great
battle was renewed.
The hardest thing about it all for

Somehow or other, during the calmei

OVERSIZE TIRES FOUND BEST

Road Conditions and Are Most
Economical to Buy.

For severe road conditions oversize
tires give much better service" says
a writer in Farm and Fireside, "and
are usually the most economical to
buy. They have greater carrying ca.
pacity, greater elasticity and, being
larger than standard tire equipment,
ride better over soft places and
through gravel and sand"

matte Brake.
DRIVER RELIEVED OF Strain
Motorist Enabled to Bring Car to
Gradual Stop With Ease and
Smoothness, or to Stop It
Instantly With No Effort.

Self-starting devices for automobiles
have practically reached a stage Of
perfection, but it remained for an In
dianapolis accessory maker to develop
and place on the market the first self
stoppe-."
This latest automobile convenience
is a vacuum brake which enables the
motoriSt TO bring his car TO a gradual
stop with ease and smoothness or to
stop 1t instantly with a minimum Of
personal effort. The effort necessary,
in fact, is about the same as is re-
quired when operating the ordinary
hand or foot accelerator or sounding
the horn. The driver is relieved OF
physical strain. an advantage which
will appeal to motorists who have ex-
perienced the muscular tension of driv-
Ing a heavy car down a long. steep
grade.
Boon to Women.
1t is claimed that the vacuum brake
will be boon to woman drivers, many
of whom haven't the physical strength
to use the footbrake and bring the car
TO a sudden stop. With the vacuum
brake applying the brake" is as easy
as turning on lighting switch, 1t is
claimed.
1t is a device of few parts, and can
be used on any make or model OF car.
large or small, having the ordinary
footbrake.
There Is some similarity In the ac-
ton Of the new vacuum brake and the
airbrake system on present-day rail-
way trains. because both employ the
same sort Of cylinder and piston, con-
nected to the brakerods. But there is
this difference-the railway brake op-
crates by the force Of compressed air,
while the vacuum brake operates by
the suction Of the engine, employing
no air compressor and no air storage
tank.
Effort MInimized.
With less effort than the engineer /,
of a railway locomotive uses to bring
bis train to a well-timed stop. the driv-
er Of a motor car may, by gentle pres
sure of finger or foot, bring his machine |
TO a standstill In an Instantly lock- |
Ing the wheels, If necessary. Or he |
may slow . up gradually. depending
on driving conditions.
The operation Is SO simple that the |
slightest pressure gives the driver con- |
troll Of the car at all times, whether |
In crowded trafic, where stops have to |
be made suddenly and with certainty.
or out on the open road, where 1t Is
only necessary to slow up temporarily
for bumps or crossings.
The new brake operates on the same
general principle'as the vacuum gaso-
line feed, now used on automobiles, q

draw gasoline from one tank to an
