HAVE YOU Seen
MYSTERY TIRE?

Passing you every day is an auto
mobile running on mystery tires. A
mystery tire is a tire that will run
three thousand miles after It has
been junked by a motorist as worn
out and useless. The solution of the
mystery lies with Henry Hughes Of
Henry Hughes Garage.
Take any old tire, the older and
more decrepit looking the better; turn
it into mystery tire and it viii run
three thousand miles more. No, it'5
not vulcanizing, not rethreading. not
recapping, not any Of those things
that is generally done to put few
more miles into worn out tire. The
Hughes process which can take an
old tire and make II go 1000 miles
more is the little invention which
Henry Hughes has been working on
for months past. He has put four
of those rejuvenated tires on, ma
chine that is running about town
now to go three thousand miles.
When it completes its journey. the
tires will be examined and II they
have stood the test the way Hughes
expects them to stand it, he viii an
nounce his discovery Meanwhile
keep your eyes open for the car with
the mystery tires The solution Of
the problem Is easy, If you only find
that car and examine those tires.

Honolulu may adopt the system of
traffic signals used in Seattle If the
plans of Supervisor Ben Hollinger
carry through. Supervisor Hollinger
has already received some information
and photographs showing the Seattle
system in operation and is convinced
that they would be ideal for this city.
The Seattle System
The Seattle signal system was in
vented by a Seattle policeman who
grew tired of lodging street-cars and
automobiles daily while at work. So
he designed a four-sided box which
is hung beneath the trolley wires in
the center of the street. The four
sides of the box are so made that by
operating a lever the sides turn to
show either the word Stop" or the
word CO.. The lever is set in a box
which is placed on the most promin-
ent corner of the crossing and there
on an elevation the policeman sits IN
safety and watches the streams OF
traffic. The lever operates two sides
of the box at one time so that the
right of way can be given to two
streams at once. The lever is also
fixed to operate all four at once, max
ing two throw up the word Go" and
two throw up the word Stop"
A bell in the box rings before each
change of traffic directions. The po-
Hceman is armed with whistle and
any motorist disoheying the signal is.
halted by blowing the whistle. In case
he fails to halt his number is taken
end he is fined in the next session of
the automobile court Usually on the
next occasion when the whistle Is
blown he halts.
The system has proved success in
Seattle where some of the streets are
narrow. The matter will be taken UP
at the meeting Of the board Tuesday
night.
