By many a brave and only son.-Chorus.
First of all. Gods Cross We station
With the emblem OF our Nation;
Under which brave nurses stand,
To heal the wounded soldiers grand

tor car undergo such extreme changes
in temperature.
A probably more practical compu-
tation for the same tire with seventy
pounds air pressure is made with
the temperature at the beginning reg
istering 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Fast
driving through hot sandy stretches,
for example, would cause the tenn
perature OF the tire to reach prob
ably 100 degrees. Even under these
conditions, the air pressure would in
crease to but 1853 pounds. This is \
most usual condition, and the results
prove that the expansion is still more
negligible than In the previous in

1t has been assumed, and frequent
careful observations have proven II,
that there are comparatively few mo-
florists who keep the prescribed air
pressure in their tires.
II is well to point out in connection
with these computations that the rise
In temperature OF the tire, due 10
its being run, is as great in proper
ton in cold weather, as 1t is in warm
weather. Therefore, the increase in
the air pressure due to this source
must correspond in cold weather as In

GOODRICH EXPERTS
STUDY CHANGES IN
TIRE TEMPERATURE

A large number OF inquiries from
motorists throughout the United
States with reference to the expan-
sion OF the air in automobile tires
in hot weather has caused Goodrich
tire experts to make a careful anal
ysis OF the changes that take place
when there Is any variation in the
temperature of the tire.
In making computations, an initial
cir pressure Of seventy pounds was
used. This is the pressure prescribed
By all tire manufacturers for q 34x4
tire.
The air is pumped into the tire at
. temperature Of 40 degrees Fahrenr
heit, and gradually heated until It
rises to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. At
this point the reading Of the air pres
sure would indicate 1874 pounds, or
an increase of but "a pounds. This
is not considered dangerous, for sell

Weekend Clubhouse Plan Of Com
mandant's Wife.

The house OF the commandant at the
Marine Barracks, Eighth and @
streets southeast, will be turned into
a club for young Marine Corps officers
while they are visiting in Washington
on Saturday and Sunday. The idea
was originated by Mrs. George Bar
nett, wife of the commandant OF the
corps.
Mrs. Barnett believes that the marine
corps officers in training at Quantico.
Va, are sorely in need of headquarters
when they come to Washington for
the week and she's willing to do
her bit by making them comfortable
at the barracks. Extra dormitory ac-
at the commandments
house will be provided. t.k
But that is not all. II the young
men wish to arrange an informal
dance some Saturday night, they will
have the Marine Band at their dis
posal to furnish the music.
