WAR BRINGS QUEER PROBLEMS;
RAILROADS ARE FACING ONE

~ HIS war has brought up strange situatOns-in the
railroad business for instance The government has
praised the railroads for the splendid service they are
rendering in transportation of materials for environments
amy supplies regular and national guard troops and
toual army drafts all in addition to the regular traffic.
and then has handicapped them By drafting large numbers
Of their into military service and by encouraging larger
numbers Of their to volunteer for SeTce in the railway
engineer regiments.
On the other hand some Of railroads. while declaring
the utmost patriotism oEoed ask the exemption Of
their drafted employees The Southern Pacific for one, IS
obliged TO ask that its drafted be kept out Of military
service in order that the efficiency Of the transportation
service may not be impaired
The matter has TO focus in Pima county, Arizona
where very many Of the Southern Pacific operating depart
ment employees called for service Many made claims
for exemption industrial grounds which, Of course, the
local boards did not pass upon, merely denying them in
where they belonged The district board without exception
held all the for service.
By instruction then, Of William F. HerTn, president
and general counsel for the Southern Pacific the railroads
Washington attorney Charles H. Bates appealed all these
to the president asking exemption for practically all
engineers hremen and shop employees drafted Mr. Herrn
in his instructions, called attention the seriousness Of
the railroads situation IN Arizona particularly the
motive power department because of the sparseness Of the
population IN Arizona and New Mexico and the long haul
the Tucson division to FL Paso haul involving
poraon Of soldiers and supplies both for Demng and for

provost marshal general Enoeh Cowder and decision has

The action is not uupatIotic on the part of the rail-

Tire Tips

Here are some tips on the proper
care of automobile castings from Bar
ney Bronson. local manager Of the
Tire company:
First and foremost in the motor
lists book OF commandments is drive
carefully. Avaid sharp stones In
never under any circumstances drive
in the tracks Street car rails were
made for street cars-nOt for auto
mobiles. If a small cut appears in
your casing, have il repaired at once
This viii add greatly to the mileage.
and injury to the casing is minimized
If repair is promptly made.
When cut is left Enclosed, dirt
forces its way into the fabric. water
enters and other destructive elements
get in which materially shorten the
life of the tire Eventually the cut
results in a blowout
Be careful to see that your brakes
are properly adjusted Thousands Of
tires are literally torn to pieces by
improper brake adjustments
In applying the brakes do il slow
". A quick stop grinds the casing.
Pick up speed gradually. for a quick
pickup often tears the tires: in turn
ing the corners go slowly. Fast turn
ing around corners does more dam
age to the side walls of your tires
than you can imagine
Keep the wheels always in align
ment. a wheel out of true causes the
wheel to run at an angle and will
eventually wear the tread off, no mat
ter how tough your casing may be 1t
is like holding your casing against a
swiftly revolving emery wheel.
Another important point is the
maintaining of uniform initiation. A
tire manufacturer knows exactly TO
what pressure each casing should be
inflated This pressure is indicated.
Follow his instructions. Don't guess
an air gage is cheaper than a new
casing
