COMMERCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Dun's review tomorrow will say:
 Entering on the closing month of most remarkable year. business re- fleets sustained activity in many di- rections and underlying strength in about all it's branches. What is espec- ially important is the fact that all bot tom general conditions are wholesome and more so than a year ago, for the competitive and excited buying which was then so conspicuous a feature in certain quarters is now absent and the great rise in prices of some leading commodities has been checked through official action, or from different causes. But while the disposition to make for ward commitments with increased caution, and to provide against pos sible contingencies in the future is re- assuring, there are still many draw backs to the situation and the new arll extraordinary problems which are be- Ing encountered hinder progress in the industial field, as in mecantile chan nels.

WARTIME ECONOMY PROMPTS CARE OF
 AUTO INNER TUBE
By MIR. C. H. HOWARD (Mgr. E. F. Goodrich Rubber Go.

Depot
 Ways and means of procuring the longest service from inner tubes an appurtenance of the automobiles mechanism that is most neglected is the theme of an educational cam paign instituted by The B. F. Good rich Rubber company in the inter- ests of war economy. Many uneX- pected outbursts from containers originate from sins of omission" and commission" and by empha- sizing the more glaring ones the Goodrich company believes it can save the motorist dollars that other wise would pour into the abyss of waste.
 Undue haste in replacing a pune tured or blown out tube is respons- iole for a multitude of these sins. The most common mistake is pinch ing the tube. The tube is inserted in an uneven or twisted manner. This causes it to overlap or wrinkle with the result that in a short time it will cut through where it has been overlapped and we have leak The same trouble is also caused | into the tire, just as it is taken l from the box. When the tube is ap- | piled after mounting, there is such an thrush of air that it will often | buckle up the tube, thereby fore | ing a tiny section beneath the bead | spreader.
 | Especially will this occur if the | valve stem is not pulled out to its

proper position. The operator should proceed slowly when applying the tube Before putting it into the cas- ing it should be given a couple Of shots" of air, then it should be ap piled carefully, the inside-the side on which, the stem occurs-being always kept inside. When it is iii the casing it should be talced' care fully and the fingers forced all around the tire to make sure that the tale has been evenly distributed, and then, before the loose bead IS applieo,-the tire should be given little more air-enough to round il out nicely and prevent pinching.
 The motorist should be cautioned against using too much tOlc. There are several powders procurable for keeping the tube from sticking to the casing, among these being soap stone, graphite and tale, but the use of too much of any of these proves disastrous and a collection of sub stance in one place eats into the rubber, If, on the other hand, nc powder is used, it will only be a short time before the heat generated will cook the tube.
 Undk- Initiation is equally injun- ous to tubes. When the under-in Hated tire passes over a stone both casing and tube are jolted against the rim and sooner or later a leak will develop. All tires should be | inflated to the standard prescribed | by manufacturers.
 | If the tire defiates suddenly the car should be stopped immediately, as continuous running means that l the casing must slip circumferentiai- | ly, ripping the valve stem out and l tearing the tube.
 Sand in easing is another cause | of the ruination of a tube. It very often happens that a motorist, while
 repairing a puncture on the road
 permits the tube and casing to pick up particles which create a friction i 'l,ter and eventually tiny holes
 which will scarcely show when the
 tube is submerged in water, assert 1 themselves Then the motorist runs
 to the dealer and charges him witt

SCHOLARS MAKING
 TRENCH TORCHES

est. Paul Pioneer Press)
 High school pupils in Winona. Minli., have begun the manufacture of 20.0GG trench torches to be used by the Sam mics across the sea. Every student in the high and junior high school build ines is engaged in this patriotic work.
 The torches are made from news papers, which are cut in column widths. Eight of these columns are required for one torch. The paper is rolled. one strip at a time, until the article is complete. Then it is boiles four minutes in parrafin.
 The torches are to be used to warm the hands of the men in the trenches and to boil their coffee. They firs5 originated with the Italian soldiers in the Alps One and half million have been used by the Italians. They are only slightly more than two inches high. but burn loHg time.
 When the torches are complete they will be turned over to the local chapter of the D. A. R., and they in turn will send them to national headquarters.

 Green had bagged a couple of quail and had laid the gun on the ground While he went to gather in his quarry. Upon his return he picked up the gun and took a shot at some other birds. some sort of obstruction, possibly a chunk of mud, was in the barrel and when the shell was discharged the bar Tel burst at the point where Green held it in his left hand.
 Endeavoring to stop the blood which spurted from the injured member. Green walked two miles through the brush, holding the wrist of the injured hand with his right hand. When he arrived at the point where the rest of the party, including MT and Mrs. F. P. Hughes and MT. and Mrs. George w. Reubens, was waiting for him, he was so weak from loss of blood he was scarcely able to stand. Mir. Hughes immediately started for town in the Sdl III WHICH lne party was riding bul got stuck in the sand when attempt ing to cross the river bed. It was then necessary for MT.
