PNEUMATIC TIRES ARE BEST

vides many surprises to touring mo-
florists In the multiplicity of big rub
ber-tired freighters that ply con-
stantly between these two cities, haul
Ing every conceivable, kind of mer.

are springing up almost daily. offer
Ing efficient service. which not only
helps to relieve the railroads Of a
portion Of their heavy burden. but
also offers quicker transportation. In
that all terminal delays. so, common
to railroads. are avoided. At first
these heavy-duty trucks were con-
fined to the solid-tired class. but the
advantages of big cord tires have led
many truck owners to equip their
freighters with pneumatic tires. The
great reduction in wear and tear on
the trucks and the greater speed per
mitted are among the advantages that

GASOLINE FIRES
CAUSE OF PANIC

to Do and Jumps Immediate
ly for Some Preventive.
HAVE SMALL ExTIRGUIsAER
Large Chemical Devices Are Too
Bulky and Cannot Be Laid In Any
Positlon--start Work Of Ex-
tlnguIshlno In Drip Pan.

When gasoline takes FIRE II is a SO
rious matter. but the most dangerous
accessory to o fire Is the one you least
expect. namely, panic. writes william
II. Stewart, Jr., In New York Times
The average person has such an un'
reasoning fenr Of gasoline that he
loses his head completely. The first
few fires will leave one completely
unnerved for time. but after n little
experience In fighting them panic dis
appears and self-control is gained.
This does not medn that one should
delay or move any more slowly, but
should know what to do quickly.
Small Extincuisher 10 Best.
The novice stands aghast as the
first burst OF flames come from the
carburetor. The experienced man
jumps for the nearest preventive. At
least one small fire extinguisher
should be carried on every car. The
large chemical devices are too bulky
and cannot be laid In any position.
whereas the ordinary instrument may
be stored away In small space. The
best place is beneath the hood on the
carburetor side. This Is where the
fire starts and may be reached by
raising the hood. Some carry them
On the running board. but this is OBJ
jectionable on account Of theft liabil-
ity. II placed under the seat or Sc
cured by a lock they are not readily
placed In service. and the machine
may be badly damaged meanwhile.
Always turn OF the gasoline at the
tank TO stop feeding the flames. Or
dinarfiy there Is not more than two
ounces In any float chamber. and this
will not last long. All the parts about
the earburet0r are metal and not cas-
lily harmed. II Is also well TO use the
seif-starter to turn the engine. This
will draw flames into the manifold.
Quite often the whole fire may be ex-
tinguished II this La done In time.
Begin at the Bottom.
So remember, always start at the
bottom and work upward. II there
Is flame On the ground beneath the
car use the self-starter with gears in
mesh to move to another position.
Sand IL good II available. but never
throw sand on the carburetor or any
other part Of the machine. 1t falls
away. leaving gasoline free to burn.
and also gets into the mechanism, do
ing incalculable harm. On fiat sur
face sand Is excellent, or any other
dry powder. Even -four has saved
many home where gasoline has been
used carelessly. The old method Of
covering the fire with a rug or carpet
is good. but the extinguisher is bet
ter. This covers the fluid with lay.

Everyone knows that any kind of
fire Is dangerous but II the above
suggestions are employed under self

Steering Rod Operates IL.
turned completely. Frank u. Harvey Of
White Hall. ILL.,. resolved that certain
Improvements in automobile headlights
were necessary. Therefore he produced
very simple and commendable In.
ventlon.
The idea is to make at least one
headlight turn. and that ut the mo-
ment the steering wheel is revolved.
Thus one headlight shines up In the
new direction while the other con-
tlnues to light the old roadway. In
this way light is provided in the two
places most needed when rounding
corner. The connecting rod between
the front wheels supplies the motive
power which moves the lamps. Two
pins are made fast TO this rod near
each end. and the rod In Its rlght-and-
left movements causes one or the
other of the pins to strike the arm of
Its bent rod leading up TO the corre-
spending light. The illustrations show
details. A spring keeps the parts
taut and ready to respond. to all I'm
pulses from the pins and rod.-Popu-

"The farmer" says Mr.. Norton. "be-

ance that his STUFF will be sold and not
turned back to him, wIlted and use
less except as fodder for pigs.
Big Questions TO Answer.
"These are big questions and must
be answered to the full satisfaction
OF the farmer. II Is but natural that
the farmer wants to continue to be
his own salesman until convinced that
dependable capital can do more for
him and permit him to devote more
time to his farm"
Mr.. Norton said that the truck hori-
zon is full of prospects that large and
dependable capital is ut work planning
to take advantage Of them. and that
