1.-THE driver who persists In operat-

"Tires last about twice as long on a

High speeds are likely to cause

High speed may cause crystalliza-

RUNNING AND BREATHING.
Why the Esertion Makes the Lungs
Gasp For More Air.

Ss~P fHSfS FN4fs
II is hard to breathe after running
awhile. because your body requires
more blood in circulation The efforts
of your heart, brain and lungs make
breathing difficult. We breathe TO take
air into the lungs. where the blood
which has once been through the ar
ferries and comes back on its return
trip 10 the heart is exposed TO the air
in the lungs before going back into the
heart The air which we take into our
lungs purifes the once used blood and
makes il into good blood again.
When you run the heart pumps blood
into your arteries faster. to enable you
To run. we are told by the Book of
Wonders. Thus also the arteries send
much more blood back to the heart
through the veins. and this must be
purified by the lungs before going back
into the heart. To attend TO purify
ing this extra amount OF spoiled blood
the lungs need more air, and thus you
are made to breathe In more air for
the purpose.
Unless you are in good training
your wind In good condition. as we
say-it Is almost impossible for you 10
supply the lungs with enough air for
the purpose. but whether yon can do
ii or not the lungs call upon you for

SAFEGUARD HAY CROP.

Alfalfa and Clover Should Not Be
Stacked on Old Stack Bottoms.
Clean the haymow and burn the old
stack bottoms as a safeguard against
damage to the new alfalfa crop by the
clover or alfalfa hay worm. Is the sug-
gestion given by George \. Dean. pro-
fessor OF entomology in the Kansas
State Agricultural college
Clover hay worms destroy many
tons OF alfalfa each year. The work
of these pests IS often mistaken for n
mold.
These insects have Increased In mum
bers In Kansas due to the extensive
growing Of alfalfa. They are found In
almost all parts Of the United States
where alfalfa. clover or timothy Is
grown.
The worms or larvae usually are no
ticed near the bottom OF the stack,
but In two-year-old hay they may be
all through the stack. The larvae are
active aud Of whitish 10 brown color,
with the heads more or less reddish.
They spin silken webs In the hay and
sometimes suspend themselves by a
thread. The worms work In the hay
during the fall. winter and early
spring In the late spring they pupaie
and spin thin silken cocoon abon,
themselves.
This insect Is always more abundan,
where new hay il stacked on old bot

The moths are often noticed resting on
the walls within barns where alfalfa
and clover have been stored.
The methods of control are proven
tive ones. Never stack alfalfa or clio

Alfonso of Spain, Postwar of Europe

into Spain asking for news or inclosing

His Majesty's First Intention.
At first it was his ma esty's intention
simply to locate the missing soldiers or
