Of them this morning, ''and he Is
doing it with less efficiency than any
other part of his work. 1t is easier;
to double the sales, or get lower
freight rate, than it is to make the

sunset every day Today these com:
plants became an avalanche, because
the wind last evening tore some Of.
them to shreds. And they were left
up long enough this morning to at.
tract much attention.
The flag on the facade of the
Masonic temple was rent in twain
and it's two halves were Hopping
about without any semblance of
amity this forenoon. And 1t had
plenty of company in It's raggedness.
1t is nothing uncommon to see
flags flying all night here on top OF
big business houses, but only few
ianitors are constant offenders. When
The Gate City passed on the criti-
cism of citizens to one offender this

In addition to free inspection Of bat
teries and free water service, manager
Jack Haines, OF the Stewart Products
company. emphasizes the convenient
arrangement for customers at the
Prestolite service station, COZ Mon
tana street. Drivers may enter at one
door. have batteries inspected and
cared for, then drive on out with no
necessity Of alighting from their cars
unless they so desire. Mr. Haines's
suggestion to car owners is 10 avoid
clogged operation that often results
on cool mornings when batteries are
not in good shape, by stopping at the
Prestolite station for free inspection.

TIRES IN CLASS

The table shows that In many cases
where a certain size is discontinued.
the owner may get size and type 70
fit the rims he is using. this being
especially true in the case OF the @
d. clinchers
Take for example. the S6x4is and
the 37x5 Q. D. clinchers. IN one year.
in 1919, the S6x41s IS dropped. which
is shown in the chart by the insertion
s7x5. But the 37x5 fits the 36x4 Z
rims. so there is no inconvenience
there. The 37x5 is carried for two
years Cor one year after 36x4 Z Is dis
continued land then the 57x5 straight
side is supplied for one year there
after.
In other words. for the next three
years the average owner has little
to worry about. for he can get some
size and type OF tire to fit the rims

Beware Of Repairs
Which Do Not Pau

spots appear in the tires" says D.
C Booth, OF the Quick Tire Serv-
ice, and there are some who over
do the thing. It is proper economy
to repair such places when the tire
IS not too far gone. but many car
owners don't stop in time. They
keep on repairing until it don't pay
and in addition to the cost OF re-
pairs. must also buy a new tire.
because the tire was not worth re-
pairs. There are times when It
takes more than a patch and times
when the tire is not worth patch
