EVILS OF UNDER INITIATION
Driver Generally Blames Tire Manu-.
facturer When He Has blowout.

Mr., Perram of the Tulsa Rubber
& Vulcanizing Co, local selling agent
for the Miohelin Tire company. says
that the first thing that a driver
does when one of his tires blows
out Is to look for some small shsrp
object that he is certain caused the
trouble, The next move very often
is to form an ironclad opinion that
the tire manufacturer Ii wholly ia
blame for the accident. As n mat
ter OF fact. II is mora than likely
that the fault lies with the driver
for there are two results OF careless,
ness that no tire can possibly with
stand. These are ihsufffcient infla
ton and constant overlooking.
When surveying a blowout. soms
drivers claim that they have beer
particular TO test their tires so Al IA
be sure that the air pressure wal
absolutely correct. y
Others claim that their cars were
never overloaded. Many drivers
forgot that present trouble may date
back to period of carelessness
when the car was compelled to
carry an overweight of from one to
two hundred pounds. and that the
tire had been insufficiently inflated
most Of the time. The fact that there
Is no. overload or underinflation at
the moment OF the blowout proves
nothing. In the greater number of
cases II is only after a long period
of strain and overwork that signs
OF tire abuse begin to appear.

breaches of Thrift

'l'ew people even begin TO realize

1t As negligible, while as matter OF

THAT In the very root and essence
OF tho thrift movement now on foot
throughout the country Doing with

too, any serious reduction in the pur-
chase OF passenger cars due to such
a mistaken conception OF thrift
would tend to cripple an industry

amount of money II puts back into

Definite System Planned to
Relieve Local Freight
Congestion.
EXPECT TO COVER STATE
Run Fifty Trucks Over Sys-
tenn of Routes and
Schedules.

MUSKOGEE, June S.---One Of the
biggest things that has taken place
in eastern oklahoma for many a
day was announced yesterday ip the
organization OF the Service Trans
portation company by group OF
prominent business men ana Capi-
talists of Muskogee and other towns
in eastern Oklahoma. The company
is incorporated for 100000 and
purposes to operate n fleet of at
least fifty motor trucks on a definite
system Of routes and will cover all
of the state in the course Of the
next six months. by this means do
the business men of the state expect
to overcome the railroad freight
congestion, which is rapidly assum-
ing alarming proportions. At the
beginning the Service Transporta-
ton company will run its trucks out
of Muskogee to Tulsa, Haskell,
Claremore, Richardsville. Henryetta.
McAlester, Ninita, Tahlequah and
Okmulgee, Okla, and TO Fort Smith
and Sloan Springs, Ark, making
of course all intermediate points.
Terminal stations will be erected in
all of the above cities and stations
will I've built in all towns the routes
pass through. the charges for haul
ing will approximate the average
local freight rates now charged by
the railroads. This motor truck
service means much to the business
men and wholesalers of the various
cities through which the routes will
pass, making their freight and de
livery problems easy OF solution and
besides will relieve the railroads Of
90 per cent OF their local freight
hauis and thus release sorely needed
equipment to haul government mu-
nitions OF war and troops.

PLANNING FARMS FOR
 RETURNING SOLDIERS
NATION WIDE PROJECT IS RAPID " TAKING SHAPE-RicHEST LANDS WILL BE PUT IN SHAPE FOR THIS PURPOSE.

Memphis, Sept. 16--Members of the Southern Alluvial Land Associa- tion are taking lively interest in the plan launched a few months ago by Franklin K. Lane, secretary W the interior, to provide farm homes for soldiers and sailors returning from the war President J. w. Mcclure, in a letter recently sent out to the entire membership of the associa. tion, gives the plan somewhat in de- tail, and calls upon the support of the movement by all land owners in the alluvial region of the lower Mississippi valley.
 Speaking of the action already taken by the land owners in this ter ritory, Mir Mcclure says: "Missis- sippi has already called meeting of representativesc from every section of the state to convene at Jackson, on Monday, November 4. at 10 a. m. Each county is urged to provide rep resentation at this conference with full authority to act.-
 Following this conference, and others, which will be held by other states which are now organizing, a southern land congress will convene at Savannah, Ga, November II and 12. Secretary Lane is to be present at the congress and will outline the plans proposed for putting the propo- sition into effect.
 The plan, which contemplates the survey of all available lands through out the country. and an appropriation of a million dollars by congress for making the lands suitable for farming by clearing, draining and equipment of buildings and possible supplies oi live stock, is one that Is making a strong appeal to the people of the southland and will undoubtedly be pushed to a successful termination Millions of dollars are to be invested in the enterprise, thousands of acres of idle land will be brought under cultivation, and a more desirable citi zenship will be secured for the sec tion successful in securing recogni tion.
 Surveys of available land have been gotten under way in the Cum berland plateau in Eastern Tennessee and just a few weeks ago similar surveys were started in the district of the tri-state territory analogous to Memphis by D. c. Ross, engineer for the office of the secretary of the interior.

FRANCE REJoIcEs

Paris, Oct. 16.-France heayed great sigh of relief today when Presi- dent Wilson's answer became known in the French capital. It Is the sort of answer French poilus and civilians wanted. Official circles had enter tained little doubt what the answer would be, but fighting France was doubtful lest the enemy trick the al lies out of victory, which every day becomes more certain.
 Diplomatic France considers Presi. dent Wilson's latest answer as yet another wedge driven in between the German government and the German people. The presidents new condi- ton that the German war lords power shall either be wiped out or much curtailed pleased France and poilus in the streets when the World correspondent informed them of Will sons answer, smiled and remarked how they had feared armistice would be granted and a premature peace signed Complete surrender with mil itary guarantees is the poilus' funda- mental peace conditions. Failing in that. war to the bitter end, which they know is in sight. If anything, Paris looked more hopeful today, fol lowing such an energetic answer, than it did when the first German proposal came through, but still there is no jubilation. It is considered a separate peace with Austria and Turkey Is closer to immediate reali' zation than ever before, following Secretary Lansing's statement that an answer is to be sent to the form CT country. Both are hopeless and only awaiting the conclusion of the
