SECOND ARTICLE
INfafiON

The car owner of today is fast coming to the realization that the mileage he gets from his tires depends upon the treatment they are given.
 Mileage is built into tires at the factory by scientific methods. The user can get every inch of that in- built mileage out of the equipment by the proper care and use of it.
 Tho motorist ordinarily places so much confidence in tire equipment, probably because of it's rapid develop ment and wonderful performances, that it does not receive the inspection and attention considered necessary for the ear. Hence the loss to the average car owner of thirty cents on every dollar spent for tires, and the Oppor- tunity for these articles, which are designed to enable every car owner, who reads them, to save his share of the $105,000,000 wasted on tires each year.
 It has been aptly said that the pneumatic tire is of the most para doxical construction in the entire field of automobile engineering. It must be very resilient yet withstand pun ishment worthy of armor plate.
 Two tender substances, rubber and cotton fabric, must be so blended and built up that they will resist the air pressure withia. the weight of the auto mobile and it's load without, the thrust of the motor, the transverse strains on turns and the blows of thousands of obstacles. And upon the successful construction of the tire has depended the entire success of the automobile.
 While the selection of the right typo and size, correct application and pro- per treatment of tires arc all necessary to obtain the best results. the simple matter of imitation is probably the most important point in the care and use of equipment, as it's abuse is the prin- cipal cause of tire wastage.
 Proper Irfation Means More
 Mileage.
 The iudieious use of air will go a long way toward giving the tire user the maximum mileage. Because the resiiency and long-wearing qualities of a tire depend almost as much upon proper imitation as they do upon the rubber and fabric.

more of the road vibration is absorbed by the tires.
 But when soft, the tire runs against a wave in the tread rubber, which from excessive stretching and heating pulls away and separates from the carcass or body. The sidewalks develop a hinging action as the wheels revolve, and the result is the same as when a piece of wire is bent back and forth it becomes hot and finally breaks.
 In an underinfated tire the heat from the increased action of the side walls softens the rubber cement of ad- hesiveness between the fabric layers and a certain degree of devulcaniza- tion takes place. As @ result, when the tire strikes a particularly hard bump, a loud explosion rends the air and it is time to put on new casing.
 Flat Tires Demand Immediate
 Attention.
 "A soft or flat tire on a front wheel can always be noticed by the difficulty in steering the ear in a straight course; the steering wheel naturally favors the udJ UT SOlI blie. u Ou d lCdI WACOlJ pounding or pumping will be noticeable.
 Demountable and quick detachable rims make it possible to change tires very quickly, but even if not so equip ped, it is wise to stop and give the tires attention. Damage to the side walls, beads, fabric inside and the inner tube usually makes it difficult to execute practicable repairs. A rear tire ridden deAated very far may result in damage to the differential of the car.
 Expansion caused by hot weather or the sun is negligible and will not materially affect the tire, as the air pressure within is not increased to any appreciable degree. New tires stretch slightly when first used and inner tubes are slightly permeable to nitrogen so that occasional infation is advisable. Deteriorating effects of stale air can be avoided by filing the tires with fresh supply at least two or three times a year.
 While there can be no infexible tables for imitation of tires as style of construction, power, speed, road condi- tions, driving and weight will play an important part in the strains upon tires, under ordinary circumstances the tires on the front wheels should be inflated between 15 to IS pounds per inch of tire section and rear tires from 15 to 20 pounds.

VIOLATES DECREE
AND LOSES CHILD

A mother, to whom was intrusted the
custody Of her child by divorce de-
cree, by violating the orders Of the
court yesterday, by the same court,
lost possession of her two and half
vear-old son. The decree, granted
December IS. was modified to give
the father the little lad whose mother
valued him so lightly that she was
willing to part with him.
A mother heard evidence that con-

little lad was not properly clothed;
how. when i'll, he was left to sleep
out of doors - alone; how he was
locked alone in the house while his
mother attended q dance.
Mrs Eta Bryant, who secured a
legal separation from Bert Bryant
three months ago, was awarded the
custody Of the child, Burnett Bryant.
The father was to contribute to his
sons support and was allowed to visit
him The child was to remain in the
mothers possession. A short time ago,
without permission of the court and
against the wishes of the father, the
lad was sent to Illinois to visit his
mothers parents. In the spring or
| summer or autumn, the mother stated,
she intended to return to bring him
