GOODYEAR co. GIVES
HINTS ON TIRE CARE

To aid motorists in cutting down
tire costs, the Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der Company, Akron, Ohio, announces
the publication OF an entirely new and
complete set of tire service bulletins,
in which are set forth the vari rus
ways of obtaining more satIsfactory

A noticeable departure from q Gus
tom which has too largely prevailed
in literature advancing tie informa-
ton, OF enumerating an array of
'don'ts" for the tire user. is the posi-
tive viewpoint employed. The new
Goodyear bulletins, instead OF out
lining the usual ''don'ts," tell the mo-
torist Just what to do" to get real
tire service. Valuable hints telling
how to add hundreds and even thou
sands of miles TO the life Of tires

WOMEN FIND MARMON
EASY CAR TO OPERATE

Seldom do we realize how much Of
the rapid growth in the use OF the
automobile is due to the increased
ease OF handling and the elimination
Of all the hard work OF driving that

Although women drive cars on long
trips constantly, II has been only a
short time since very few women were
able to do more driving" than the
actual operating of the wheel, and
found that work very hard and firing.
Modern motor cars can be depended
on TO go when and where the driver
wishes, and there is no longer the
wish for good luck" every time q
driver starts out for q longer trip
than downtown. Provision has been
made to simplify nearly every task in
caring for a motor car during even
q very long trip, and during the last
year or two several women have
driven their automobiles alone across
the continent Engine-driven tire
pumps. powerful jacks that lift the
car easily. and other eonveniences
have aided in making the automobile
easy to care for.
Marmon owners have found an suto-
mobile that not only is easy to care
for because OF all these modern de-
yelopments. but that because Of scien.

DISTILLED WATER
PRIME ESSENTIAL
TO CAR BATTERIES
By G. Il. HINES.

(Washington Prsstolits Distributer.)
Put distilled water In your battery
has been drummed into the motoring
public by all the storage battery
makers, and yet the neglect OF this
matter is enormous. Possibly some
motorists have not yet realized why
distilled water must be added II the
battery Is to keep on operating.
No battery. however well made, can
operate satisfactorily unless pure dis
titled wGter II added at regular In
tervals. The inside Of battery con-
sists OF several cells in which positive
and negative plates are immersed IN
q liquid solution called electrolyte.
This electrolyte consists OF the proper
proportions OF sulphurie acid and dis
titled water.
Passing current through . battery
to charge Il causes heat. which
hastens the evaporation OF the water.
Then. too, when q battery 10 nearly
charged, the water IL split up into
two gases. one Of which escapes
through vents, so that the very action
Of charging a battery depletes the
supply Of water.
Water Saves Battery.
II some of the water has evapora-
ted, the acid solution IL bound to be
stronger than II should be, and there
fore damaging to the plates. without
the correct amount OF water In the
solution, the battery would eventually
be ruined.
It must always be remembered that
there Is no evaporation OF the acid In
the elsctrolyte. Consequently, no acid
should be added unless the eleetrolyte
has been spilled and then only BY an
experienced battery man.
Evaporation Of the water n more
rapid in warm weather. hence water
must be added more frequently In
summer than In winter.
Allowing the level Of the electro
lyte to become too low, by not add
ing water, greatly decreases the ca
pacity Of the battery. It will a. =
result become discharged more quick
ly. and very often permanently IN
jured. Unfortunately, as q general
rule, these troubles will not show up
until q battery IL damaged beyond re-
pair.
Ordinary water Went Dc.
Nothing but pure distilled water
should be used. Ordinary water may
contain impurities which, IL allowed
to come In contact with the plates
inside the battery, would cause seri-
Gus damage. These impurities aneet
the battery In different ways. Iron
the most common impurity-creates
local action which rapidly dis
charges the battery. Others decrease
the capacity Of the plates.
Boiling the water does not remove
such impurities as iron. In fact,
there may be q larger percentage Of
iron in the yater which remaina altar
boiling. .....-
Car owners who wish take care Of
their own batteries should be very
careful to get only pure distilled
water for this purpose.

new COLE EIGHT" CARS
HAVE COLLAPSIBLE SEAT

Among the several rennements and
improvements which have attracted
wide attention TO the construction Of
the latest Cole Eight models is the
collapsible seat which has been de-
signed as optional equipment for the
cole-Springield Tourcoupe. 1t great
ly facilitates entering the rear com
partment OF the car, and at the same
time It does not have the ungainly
appearance of the average fold-away
or turnover seat
Only two operations are necessary
TO fold the seat compactly back
against the right side OF the body.
First. the bottom of the chair folds
up against the back of the seat, then
the whole seat turns on q swivel,
parallel to the right side of the car.
With this arrangement, a wide
aisleway for passageway to the rear
seat is formed. The collapsible right
front seat also Is just as easily placed
back in position as II Is folded up,
only a few seconds being required for
either operation.
When the collapsible seat is in use,
Is said to be just as comfortable
as the stationary seat, or chair.

.0LWET CHURCH
 REGRETS GOING OF ITS PASTOR
Congregation Adopts Reso lutions on Accepting Min
 ister's Resignation.

At the annual meeting of Olivet church held Wednesday night it was announced that the resignation of Rev. Geo. O. Tamblyn, who for number of years has acted as pastor to the con- gregation had been definitely accept ed.
 It was also announced that Rev Tamblyn had consented to return to
 this city from the Red Cross organ ization work he is now doing through 1 out the eastern section of the country
 to preach both the morning and even- 1 ing sermons on Easter Sunday. A committee on resolutions consist 1 ing of Edward T. Buckingham, c. R.
 Beardsley and B. E. Cortright report
 ed the following tribute to the depart 1 ing pastor which was unanimously
 adopted:
 | Whereas, the Rev. George o. Tam
 blyn, the pastor of Olivet Congrega-
 tional church, of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
 has rendered his resignation as pastor
 for the purpose of devoting his efforts 1 to the furtherance of the interests or the American Red Cross; and l Whereas, by his unfailing energy and inspiring leadership he has suc- ceeded in building up our church, and i through the Holden Memorial Parish
 Hall movement has placed the church 1 in a position to further the work Of Jesus Christ as a broad basis among the young people of the North End
 community: and
 Whereas, through his strong person
 ality and enthusiastic endeavor he has
 carried the influence of Olivet church i throughout the city and made it a
 strong factor in civic development;
 Therefore, Joe it resolved, that 1t Is
 with sincere regret that the church
 has accepted the resignation of MT.
 Tannblyn, and that we, the members
 of the church, express our cordial best wishes that his efforts in the new field
 of enAdeavor may meet with deserved
 success; and i Be it further resolved, that these
 resolutions be spread upon the rec
 ords. and copy forwarded to MT. 1 Tamb1yn.

Workmen to Share
 Profits in France

Paris, March 30.-Another step to- ward making the laborer a business partner, participating in both the pro- fits and management of enterprises in which he is employed, is. being talk en in France. The senate has adopt
 ed the principle of bill amending
 corporation laws so as to permit the
 allotment of shares to workmen col lectively in any establishment to be
 held for all employees of one year s
 standing or more, for the distribution of the dividends among them.
 In case of dissolution the capital stock will be shared between all the shareholders, those holding labor shares as well as capital shares. Wage earners under this measure also may participate in the infringement of the corporation.
 The law provides exemptions in ia vor of corporations formed under this
 law which it is hoped may help solve the problem of conflicts between cap-
 ita1 and labor and reduce the, mum
 Der of strikes which increased in France from 261 in 1892 to 1073 in |1913. |. This law, it is held, will make min- ing shares less risky. Capital now hesitates at investment in these stocks
 because of the frequency of strikes
 The bringing of capital and labor into
 closer cooperation in this way has
 been one of Premier Briand's favor ite projects.
 The law under discussion, of course 1 cannot make it obligatory upon al corporations to accept the participa. l ton of their employees; it only encour.
 ages it by offering advantages tha, ! other corporations do not enjoy.

 With the exception of the second, eighth and tenth sessions, White failed to show impressively and contented himself with fighting in f1urries Tn these occasional periods the Chica goan had the better of the contest, landing celaner and more frequently with heavy lblows to body and face, but these rallies did not last long enough, and were not numerous enough to gain him the honors.
