HINTS FOR MOTORISTS

road there viii be broken glass about.
He doesn't miss all of 1t, even though
he does look out for 1t. Naturally he
gets many small cuts in his castings
If he would go over his tires frequent

damage would result. But he doesn't

The elasticity of the rubber per-

under the weight of the machine and
in contact with the road. Thus grit
and pebbles are forced into the cut.
With each revolution of the wheel
this foreign matter acts as wedge
and forces itself between the cover
and fabric of the tire. Finally lump
appears and the tread is soon forced
from the tire.
These cuts in the tread let water

foundation and strength of the tire,

If Mr.. Average MOtorist would ex-

stones embedded in the tread ready
to work farther in and ruin his tire
He would find cuts and snags to be

from his tire dealer for that purpose
He might find a cut so large that II

TRAPPING ARIZONA MONKEYS.
Company Formed to Capture Large
Colony in Cunninuham Pass.


Colony in Cunningham Pass.
Parker, Ariz.-Trapping monkeys is
the latest industry to spring into
prominence in Arizona. Several To-
cal citizens have formed the Colorado
River Monkey Company, with the in
tention of trapping and marketing
monkeys known to exist in Cunning
ham Pass, an almost inaccessible
canyon located northeast of this
place.
There was a big gold excitement at
the Pass in 1882. Among those who
rushed in was an Italian organ grind
er with pair of monkeys. The mon
keys escaped and have been multiply
ing ever since, in spite of the depre-
dations of coyotes and other preda-
tory animals.

THE FIG TREE

The fig IL a native of Asia Found
wild In the earliest inhabited coun
tries, 1t has accompanied man in his
wanderings wherever a suitable eli.
mate has permitted ito introduction
end growth. That 1t is pretty old Is
evident from the fact that the leaves
of the fig tree have been found in
,fossilized condition in the late rock
slratas Of the earth, and on this con.
tinent from Kansas TO Greenland
1t is frequently spoken Of in tbs
Bible. Besides being food for ear
ly races the Good Book tells of It's
leaves being used as garments for
our first parents. It IL the chief food
reliance Of the people Of various
countries until the introduction and
use of the cereal crops. Altogether
the fig has cut considerable figure in
the affairs of life in many lands.
In the United States it has long
been cultivated In the Gulf States.
The fig does we'll in Florida and will
bear fruit when the tree is a year
old. Besides being edible in a fresh
state the fig can be preserved or
dried. While the tree Is hardy and
long lived, the fresh fruit cannot be
transported long distances, but must
be quickly used or preserved NIL.
lions of pounds of dried figs are an
nually brought into the United
States from the Eastern Mediterran'
can countries.
1t may be a bit OF news to some,
says the State Marketing Bureau, to
learn that dried figs have long been
used in Europe as a substitute for
coffee Used alone it yields a sweet
and agreeable infusion, and is espe
cially good for children; us taste
pleases them, and it contains nothing
unwholesome, the caffein and other
active principles of coffee being alb
sent. When mixed one-third with
coffee it deeply colors the infusion
modifes the bitterness, sweetens II
and makes it nutritious,
Why there are not more figs grown
in Florida for home use is a problem
They bring a good price and find
ready sale in the market. They can
be eaten fresh at the table as dessert,
and as preserves they have few
equals. The u S. Department Of
Agriculture issued bulletin on 1.-THE
Fig" some years ago, and Texas and
California Experiment Stations have
also discussed the fig in bulletins.
