Whv ISa Tire Tort?

wear out quicker than your left-hand
 tires? Well, it is all due to the tort,
 and if you've been abusing your tires
 by jay turning or by failing to eX-
 ercise due care and caution, as here
 inbefore set forth, you are nothing
 more or less than a tire tort-feasor.' The man told me so this morning and
 I've been figuring out the why of it.
 You see you have a left hand drive and when you turn to the right too short the right-hand tires get a short
 twist-'
 That evening the partner. after
 thinking it over all day, brought the matter up for a rehearing. T can't figure that tire business
 out your way at all he said. Don't you turn to the left just as often as you turn to the right? It's a poor
 rule that doesn't work both ways. All legal rules do. Why not tire rules, if they're going to take over our torts?' Well, but the right tires do wear out quicker than the left. Now where does the tort come in?'
 Maybe it's because all the boule- wards turn to the right and we travel
 more on the boulevards than we do anywhere else
 That's all right if you were go- l ing in one direction all the time, but | how about coming back?'
 | And the more the tire 'tort-feasor | thought about it the more puzzled he became. He had about reached the
 conclusion that maybe, after all, it
 was like the problem of the Seven | dead fishes and the seven live ones in the bucket of water, over which the Heidelberg professors wrangled for
 a year to determine why the former | stopped over and the latter didn't, | and then concluded to make the ex- pertinent and found that both did. He opened up the discussion in a dozen
 different garages and got a dozen diff | ferent opinions. Then, swallowing his
 professional pride, he went back to the Man.
 Why, it's simple enough said the Man. T thought you knew all about | it. You see. our paved streets present
 a convex surface-they are high in | the middle and slope down on each
 side. Now, in driving you keep to
 the right, which throws the left wheel
 on the higher surface and the right
 wheel down lower, so that the weight l of your car gives an extra wrench or | tort to the outside of your right tire
 the tort is always towards the
 right. See?"
 | And that evening he took a look at
 one of his old right hand tires. 1t
 was worn out on the inside.

The motor car owner happened to notice that the tires on the right side of his car were more subject to wear than those on the left side and he called the attention of his tire dealer to this phenomenon and asked an eX- planation.
 It's the tort" said the expert brief ly. There's more of a tort on the right side than on the left
 "Oh, l sec said the motorist, who 1 being a lawyer, was rather pleased what a tort" was. He knew Black stone had told him what a tort" was A tort" is a twist, or wrench. the word being derived from the Latin | "tortus.' But he marveled a little at this new application of the familiar l legal term and it's adoption in the motor vocabulary. However being one of those wise lawyers who never want to appear not to know, he asked no more questions. He sprung it on his partner as soon as he arrived at thte office.
 Do you know what a tort is ?" he asked.
 "A tort? Why. what's troubling you this morning." said the partner T told you the other day you'd bet ter see a, doctor. A tort is any act which gives rise to a civil remedy in an action which is not an action of contract, any injury or injustice. Vide Cooley. chapter iv, l, passim, also ante, supra and loc. cit.-"
 Let the record show my exception I am talking about motor car torts- tire torts. Did you know that there | was such a thing as a tire tort? Dc you know why your right-hand tires

GOLD MINING HIT BY WAR
Many Properties That Were Profitable
Have Been Forced to Close Down
Temporarily.

Gold is n Of the war victims. The
was has forced down, in market value,
measured by human labor, many kinds
of property and most of the staple
commodities, until some gold mines
which yielded a fair profit before the
war have become temporarily useless
to their owners 1t costs 70 much to
operate them that they cannot be
worked without a loss.
There has been change in the value
Of gold itself, in the money Of great ma
tons which have maintained their
monetary systems On the specie basis,
while almost everything else has gone
up. The result is that any given num-
Der of ounces Of gold mined will buy
much less material used in mining,
such as explosives, drills, pumps and
other machinery, and will pay for few.
er days. work. This change is still
going on and the position of the gold
mining companies grows less and less
secure and sound.

LITTLE PLEASURE IN TRAVEL
German Trains Creep Along In Dark

are adopting precautionary measures,

recently travelled on this system de-

every lamp is extinguished throughout

facing danger.
Everywhere placards indicating how
to behave during air raids show that
one is in the aviator's territory. Slow

PAGE NIGHT
WHEAT PRICE FOR NEXT
YEAR MAY BE LOWER

VdcIlIllk GOll, 0cC r. Lie
making good Of the government
guaranteed price Of wheat for
next years crop bids fair to be-
come one of the biggest and per-
haps most troublesome questions
for settlement during this short
session of congress. Congress-
man Geo. NJ. Young, of North
Dakota contends that the food
administration corporation will
be helpless to handle the 1919
crop upon the guaranteed price
of 1926 at Chicago if a large
sum is not placed in their hands
with which to make the guaran-
tee good. During the last year
and this year the grain corpora
ton has been able to handle the
wheat upon a fixed price be-
cause there was a constant out
let to the allies at a price suf-
fcient to enable them to do so.
That there are serious difficult
ties ahead is evidenced by the
telegram sent by Vice President
Crowell, of the food administra-
ton grain corporation, to Con-
gresham Young, in which he
states:
"You are correct. There is a
guaranteed price for 1919 crop
made so by the executive order
of the president in accordance
with the act of congress but no
agency has been created to car
ry it into effect. It is probable
that Mr.. Hoover and Mr.. Barnes
now in Europe, may make some
recommendations to congress as
to how the guarantee may be
carried Into effect but it is al
most an impossible problem for
proper solution"
In order to keep faith with
the farmers it will be up to the
government to purchase the
wheat and pay, for it at the guar
anteed price and then it will be
for the officials of the grain cor
poration to sell it to as good ad-
vantage as possible and with the
hope of getting out with as lit
tie loss as possible. In order to
get out without loss, or with a
minimum of loss. it is believed
the grain corporation must be
furnished by congress with e.
nough money to control the
wheat market in the United
States.
The food administration put
out a statement last night which
was interpreted by some as as
surjno the farmers that they
would receive the guaranteed
price for wheat next year. A
closer examination of the state
ment made by the food admins
tration indicates only that all
rights or liabilities under the
food control act arising before
its expiration shall continue the
same as tho the act had not ter
minated. This only goes to the
ri~ht of the officials of the
grain corporation to perform
their ordinary duties and COM
plete their unfinished business
BIT does not in any way solve
the tremendous problem which
faces the grain corporation dur
ing the next IL months.
The wheat raisers will have
reason to follow the course of
cents at the capitol in connec-
ton with the governmental pur-
' chase of wheat with some anx-
iety because much depends upon
the action of congress.

Washington, July 11-French pres
sure along the line from the Marne
to the Aisne, which began two weeks
ago as a series of local attacks have
begun to yield results which are ap-
preciable when viewed on the map.
The town of Corey, east of the
Rertz forest, has been taken from the
Germans and strong positions in the
vicinity have been captured by the
slow, methodical advance that has
been the source of much annoyance to
the enemy for several days.
As a result of the assaults made by
the French from Ambleny. south of
the Aisne, to the hills south of Corey
their line has been Strengthened and
advanced to high ground which lends
| itself to defensive operations and
gives the French good observation
points from which they can see what
is going on behind the German lines.
There has been some reason for be-
lieving that when the Germans re-
sumo their offensive on the western
front, they will attempt to break
through between the Marne and AisnC
in dash straight for Paris For this
reason, the operations which the
French have carried out assume i'm
