There Are Some Very
Big Difference" !"
In Tires
Bv II. Clifford Brokaw

Do your tires make you tired? Not
only IS 10 the expense of renewals, but
as to comfort in riding? These are
matters governed by the sort Of Cal
you run and by the tires with which il
is equipped
Tires probably are less understood
than anything else about The car. The
salesman puts up an interesting lot OF
patter about the tire he sells. and il
he handles several makes talks ghbly
are all "the very best made" But do
you understand what he says and can
you detect the sophistry in his selling
talk? Or does your searchlight fail
to penetrate his camouflage?
Often seconds Of a reliable make of
tire can be bought at a greatly reduced
figure and give very good service. but
the general run of seconds will be
found poor. Often they are discarded
tires which are recovered with rub
her and single lining of fabric put on
the inside. This gives a very good ap-
Dearance, but the fabric carcass is prac-
tically worn out and the tire may blow
out inside of one hundred miles, even
though the tire has the appearance of
having several thousand miles in it
This type Of tire second can be detected
by examining the inside to see if there
is an extra layer Of fabric cemented in
The most expensive tire ever
bought was a second, for which / paic

in this case about $50. The tire rar
just sixty miles and blew out. An ex-
animation of the tire after the blew
out disclosed the fact that the fabric
was rotten. The tire was not a second

other hand, I have bought other sec.
onds of known reliable make and have
got more than the guaranteed mileage
for the perfect tire.
The main thing to consider in buying
tire is. first, comfort, and. second
cost per mile. The average driver does
not care to keep set of books on his
tire performances, and he does cars
lot about his comfort in riding Some
manufacturers recommend q very high
pressure in their tires and will no.

As q matter of fact. in buying tire
the original cost should not be 80 much

Marks, Not Numbers,

trucks number plates, the idea is
to mark them with some special

Each "camion" has n picture as
signed to it, painted on both sides
and the tailboard. Persons who
cant well read number plate that

obscurcd with dust anyway, can
readily enough make out figure

underlying idea.

derful feature of the truck has been
its commercial adaptation.
at has been interesting to notice
rhe continuous increase in the number
OF trucks about the streets and on the
roads. and there is absolutely not n
shadow of doubt that when this war

come normal, the motor truck will be
probably one Of the most important
requisites of the worlds commerce.

The smallest recruit In the barracks
looked on him with contempt, and was
not slow to show 1t In many ways.
Lloyd was a good soldier, learned
quickly, obeyed every order promptly,
never groused at the hardest fatigues.
He was afraid to. He lived in deadly
zeal of the officers and "noncoms" over
him. They also despised him.
One morning about three months
after his enlistment Lloyd's company
was paraded, and the names picked out
for the mex draft TO France were read.
When his name was called. he did not

racks amid the sneers of the rest.
That night was an agony of misery

on the morrow the draft was to sail
for France, where he would see death
on all sides, and perhaps be killed him

channel, he would have jumped over
board to escape, but was afraid Of
drowning.
Arriving in France, he and the rest
were huddled into cattle cars. On the
side Of each appeared in white letters,
"Hommes 40, Chevaux g." After hours
of humping over the uneven French
roadbeds they arrived at the training
base of Rouen.
At this place they were put through
a weeks rigid training in trench war
fare. On the morning of the eighth
day they paraded at ten o'clock, and
were inspected and passed by General
H-,then were marched to the quar-
termaster's, to draw their gas helmets
and trench equipment.

booming. With knees shaking. Lloyd
asked the sergeant what the noise was,
and nearly dropped when the sergeant
replied In a somewhat bored tone:
"Oh. them's the guns up the line.

to a little dilapidated village, and the
sound of the guns grew louder. con-

UNDER STATES CONTROL
County Agents Favor Licensing of All
Operators as Protection for
Dairymen.

Recommendation that the legis-
lature provide licensing plan of
controlling operators of the Babcock
test in the creameries and condensa-
ries of the state were embodied in a
resolution adopted by the county
agents of Western Washington in
their recent conference at Puyallup
The text of the resolution is:
''Inasmuch as all milk in Western
Washington is sold on a butterfat
basis and such tests are made by the
recognized Babcock test, and the ac-
curacy of such test depends on the
accuracy of the glassware and the
competency of the operator.
Therefore. we believe that the
supervision of the test should be con-
trolled by the state and we recon-
mend that legislation be made which
will provide for the licensing OF all
operators of the Babcock test in COM
mercial milk and cream purchasing
plants. such license to be given on
the basis of the passage of an exami
nation under the direct supervision
of the dairy division of the state ex-
pertinent station.
I'VE further recommend that such
legislation should provide for the
state calihration and accurate testing
of all graduated glassware used in the
process OF Babcock determination of
the butterfat in milk and cream de-
livered to commercial milk purcnas-
ing plants, and, furthermore, that
only a licensed tester be permitted to

ceived by and pad for by such COM

REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS

Filings for state nominations,
which closed at Secretary of State l.

veloped the fact that the democrats
will make an aggressive fight in all
FIVE congressional districts: that SUI
