MOST OUT OF Tires
Methods to Employ to Secure De-
sirabIe Increase in
Mileage.
AIR PRESSURE IS IMPORTANT
Examine Carefully for Small Cuts and
Remove Nails or Other Sharp
Substances That May Have
Been Picked Up.

When anyone purchases an auto.
mobile tire, he buys-if it is a guar
anteed one, made by a reliable manu-
facturer-a certain definite number of
miles. Therefore any mileage he may
obtain over that guaranteed by the
maker, is just that much saving to
him, which can be computed in dollars
and cents. To illustrate: If his tires
cost $3.50 each and are guaranteed
for $500 miles, his mileage cost per
tire would be one-half cent for each
mile the tire travelled; but supposing
he obtains an extra $500 miles or a
total of 5000; then he could reckon
ON clear saving of $3.50. 1t is
therefore the object Of this article to
show the car owner methods of caring
for his tires so that he can expect to
get this very desirable increase In
mileage, writes Ed Henry of Luzerne
county, Pa, in Ohio Farmer.
Proper Air Pressure.
1t is important that the air pressure
should be kept up to that recon-
mended by the manufacturer. For
this purpose an engine-driven pump of
some kind should be installed, as this
removes any desire to shirk what is
always a laborious task. Next, the
tires should often be inspected for
small cuts. Any nails or other sharp
substances they may have picked up
should be removed. This inspection
and repair need not be done so fire.
quently that it becomes burden, for
tire that cuts easily is nuisance
and there are a number on the market
that do not show this defect in their
tread. All cuts should be repaired i'm
mediately. For the smaller ones, any
of the numerous good tire putties, or
"dOughs," now on the market are rec
commended; but for the larger cuts a
small vulcanizer should be used. Then,
if the tire should develop any real de-
feet and require replacement, the in
spector could readily see that it had
received Intelligent care, with the re-
suit that satisfactory, often liberal,
adjustment is usually quickly made.
Affords Increased Mileage.
In obtaining increased mileage, one
of the greatest helps is a good tire
reliner. These are made of fabric
much in the same manner and of the
same material as the carcass or body
Of the tire. They are placed inside
the tire TO strengthen it after its fabric
has become weakened by use and age,
but they must not be put into new
tire as the added thickness produces
heating, which is detrimental to both
tire and inner tube. The best time to
use a reliner is after the tire has run
or nearly run its guaranteed mileage;
then it is generally possible to obtain

War Declared on
Rats by u. S. Govt.

The government at Washington is pre-
pairing a campaign that should be effec-
tive in killing the rats that are SO destruc-
tive both to lives and property. A con-
servative estimate places the loss of food
stuffs from rats at over two hundred mill
lion dollars annually and In the present
scarcity of food, this loss must be pre-
vented. The most efficient way to xiii
the Rat Is by the use Of Stearns Paste
and thousands of dollars worth have been
bought by the government. Every house,
keeper troubled with rats, mice, reaches
or waterbugs should buy small box Of
this reliable exterminator for thirty-five
cents, and stop further loss Of food In

WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required In New
York Banks, But They Are
More Methodical.

There Is at present no woman Off
Ger Of New York city bank, and only
one In New Jersey, but if the war
lasts long enough it may well be, as
will virtually be run by women. AL
ready, 1t Is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States en-
tered the war last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are slower, but more care
fut, said an official Of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, so, although twice
as many women as men are needed
to do the same amount of work, the
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds of
dollars which had to be paid to the
clearing house for the mems mistakes.
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost $50 or $50 a week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The MeChan-
les and Metals bank now has 90
women and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. So
far these 60 women are taking the
places of only Sc men, which shows
the difference in rapidity, but the Off
cial of the bank pointed out that it
would be a serious problem when the
men came home for their jobs.
"Our hope Is" he said, chat the
business will be big enough then to
accommodate them all"

several hundred more miles from
tire that otherwise would soon be
condemned to the scrap-heap. 1t fig
ures out this way: Suppose reliner
costs $3.50 and your average guaran-
teed tire-cost per mile is one-half a
cent; then If, by installing a reliner,
you secure an additional 1000 miles,
which in a new tire would cost at
least $40, the saving should be evil
dent.
1t pays to conserve automobile
tires, but it does not pay to go to the
other extreme and spend more time
and trouble on them than the saving
Is worth.
