PNEUMATIC TIRES.

The pneumatic tire is the turke,
DuZzard in the ointment of the auto
mobile owner. 1t was invented abou
twenty years ago by a man who

Within five years the k. A. had put
nine assistants in the profanity de.
partment, had been compelled to in.
stall adding machines and loose-leat
ledgers. and was working a night
shit right through The summer.
The pneumatic tire is a hollow
tube filled with wind and is fastened
to the wheel with the aid of bolts
nuts, screws. cable wire, hooks and
glue. 1t makes riding easier, and is
also a great promoter of walking.
The tire is made by the rubber trust
out of gossamer silk, spiders webs
and butterflies wings. 1t is. there
fore, no trick at all to poke hole in
1t with a nail, a rock or a bottle.
When this is done, the imprisoned

The occurrence is called a pune

by loud kissing rush of air on the
part of both the tire and the owner.
The latter, to fix the tire, must re-
move it with the aid of levers crow
bars, screw drivers, derricks and

patch on. the inner tube. 1t is while

THE GREATEST OF ERRORS.

Inc most common error about thu
war is that it is wrong to send troops
to France to fight the Germans. EI
erybOdy has doubtless heard people
say that we ought to wait till the
Germans come over here. If they
will stop to think, they cannot but
|-see that it is much better to keep
the war on foreign soil than to wait
till our own country is invaded or
threatened with invasion.
1t is said that Germany cannot
reach US. And why not p Solely
because the armies of ENGLAND and
Franco are holding them back and
England's fleet has command of the
Atlantic ocean But suppose Russia
should make separate peace with
Germany and the submarines should |
again become as effective as they i
were in March and April. There
would then be great danger that
England and France could not hold
out against the Teutonic and Turk
ish allies. In that event, the first
thing England would have to sur.
render her great navy. With the
combined British and German ma
vies, and the hundred thousand
army and sea air planes, our navv i.
and coast defenses would be helpless
against the victorious Germans. Ev-
cry city within three hundred miles {
OF the coast could be destroyed in a a
week by bombs from the air, and v
millions OF German troops could be C
landed at will. We would have to ii
buy peace at such price that the Il
youngest children of today would
never become free from financial ir
slavery to Germany. il

CAMPAIGNS ON

SLOW PROGRESS
Active Warfare Suspended
While Armies all Prepare

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS, Aug. 81.
None OF the three big campaigns
now in progress on the western front
seem to have fallen into full swing.
Cadorna, whose great drive for Trieste
"a perhaps the most spectacular, is
displaying activity more pronounced
than either Petain or Haig in their
respective fields at Verdun and Arras
in Flanders. Even the Italian COM

one OF the pauses characteristic OF viz

important action.
Although the British armies on tho
Frannce- Belgian front were engaged in
much notable heavy fighting during
August, including the great attack OF
the Anglo-French forces in Flanders,
the casualties were notably less than
In July. The British figures for August
given by London totaled 59,Sll, those
for July 7I,s32.
