The petition from the cid soldiers ex-
presses a kindly feeling for the China-
man, who has been cook at the institu-
tion for 10 years, and suggests that he
be left at the home If he desires, while
new cook should be employed.
Attached to the petition is a press
clipping which quoes DIR. A. G. Seeley
as saying the Chinaman is not afflicted
with tuberculosis, but has asthmatic
bronchitis.

trict set out. - The commission also

 Quite often the motorist finds upon taking the emergency tube from its place in the car, so that he may use 1t in the tire. that the tube will not hold air. ShuffIin. about in the box or under the seat, the edge thnt the tube forms in folding 1t becomes worn to a thin- ness that they will not hold mir. To guard against this trouble packing your spare tubes the fol- lowing method should be used:
 Take out the inside valve mir check and roll the tube up so that nil the air Is out of it. Without unrolling again insert the valve inside and screw 1t down tight Then lay the tube out flat, fold it to convenient size for carrying.
 The next step is to wrap the tube in neat package in heavy wrapping paper, ma-.ng 1t secure with string or rubber bands.
 A tube so packed can he thrown under the seat and the knocsin. about in the box will only chafe the paper wrapping. Of course, 1t will be necessary to reyraD the tube when the paper has worn through.
 A spare tube packed so fnat it Is preserved intact often saves much time on the road in cnse Of the inevitable puncture.

 few uses for the motor car develop every day which indicate the utility of this modern wonder. Cattlemen are now using motor cars where they once used COW ponies and finding them a marked
 improvement One stockman uses his car to drive his herds to market during the hot weather. The car makes driving in the cool of night possible. He gets the herd started ahead of him and then fol- lows with headlights blazing and horn honking. Tn this way he gets the cattle to market in record time Light cars gre widely used on the range for many kinds of work where horses were formerly employed. They enable the COW men to get more work done thus increasing America's food supply This is but one of many reasons why the motor Is a necessity in this country.

MACK TRUCKS KEEP DOWN HAULING COST Speed, Strength and Econ cmy of Operation Factors in Combating High Cost
 of Other Labor

The contractors cost of everything has gone up-except the cost of hauling. That has come down.
 It is the modern motor truck that en- ables the up-to-date contractor to smile on at least one portion of his figures when he compares the total to what the entire job would have cost 10 or 12 years ago. He no longer dreads the day when the feed bills come due. And no more does he witness the narrowing sight of a big stableful of healthy horses eating their heads off" between jobs.

 Before going to war I was haunted by the fear that l might be afraid, but what would be worse-that I would show it. Now l know from experience that one is often afraid. Any soldier who asserts the contrary may not be liar but he certainly does not speak the truth Phys ical fear is too deeply rooted to be over coine by any amount of training; it re- mains, then, to train a man in spiritual pride, so that when he fears, nobody knows it. Cowardice is contagious. It has been said no battalion is braver than it's least brave member. Military courage is, therefore, form of unself- ishness; it is practiced that it may save weaker mems lives and uphold their hon. or The worst thing you can say of a man at the front Is, "FIe doesn't play the game That doesn't of necessity mean

 that he fails to do his duty; what it means is that he fails to do a little bit more than his duty.
 When a man plays the game, he does things which 1t requires braver man than himself to accomplish; he never knows when he's done: he acknowledges no limit to his cheerfulness and strength; whatever his rank, he holds his life less valuable than that of the humblest; he laughs at danger not because he does not dread it, but because he has learned that there are ailments more terrible and less curable than death.
 The men in the ranks taught me what ever l know about playing the game learned from their example In acknowI- edging this, I own up to the new equali- ty based on heroic values. which this war has established. The only man who counts tout there" is the man who is sufficiently self-effacing to show cour- age. The chaps who haven't done 1t ars the exceptions.

 When Hell Gate bridge was built it was Mack trucks that hauled the huge granite blocks for the piers. The same make of trucks hauled the dirt and rock from the excavation for the New York subway. Structural steel for hundreds of buildings has been brought to the work by Mack trucks.
 Mack trucks are made in capacities from one to seven and one-half tons. With trailers loads up to 15 tons may be hauled. The Southern Motor Truck company, 206 South Twenty-first street, will be pleased to send catalog and com plete information about Mack trucks.

A Necessity
From Milestones.

Good roads have long been 8 need. Today they are necessity. Instead of putting by road Improvements until the war is over, war needs make im- mediate road development the more ina perative. The country can produce plenty of food and supplies if we can but transport them where they are needed The motor car and the motor truck can do the work If the roads are put in shape and kept In shape. It is not too much to say that bad roads in America threaten the lives of our men on the fighting front. They must have munitions, food and equipment. and these must be taken to them over roads, here as well as abroad Do your part by boosting road improvement in your community. The time to start is now.

ment lying idle, is also a thing of the past.
 The modern motor truck eats only when it works It knows no idle times be- tween jobs for there is always a demand at a good figure for trucks that are capable of being on the job constantly
 The development of the motor truck in America dates back to 1S97-21 years ago. And if may be interesting to learn that the motor truck which today is perhaps most prominent in the equipment of con- tractors throughout the land was the first motor truck made in this country. It is the Mack truck.
 From the very beginning the makers of Mack trucks saw that the contracting field held great possibilities for the use of their produce. They appreciated fully that the use of motor trucks by contrac- tors required development of both the field and the product.
 So they set about to do two things: Demonstrate the low hauling costs that Mack trucks afforded, and develop Mack trucks for the various kinds of work.
 The result has been that Mack trucks have maintained the leadership and pres tige which was theirs naturally as pio- neers.

MACKS DO HARDEST HAULING

That more than 300 Mack trucks are in daily use is a worthy tribute to their efficiency. But the fact that the largest per cent of these 5000 Mack trucks are re- orders is indisputable evidence of their satisfactory service.
 There is no hauling job too hard for Mack trucks. They have never faltered

ISLANDERS TAKE
TRI-CITY TITLE
IN iowa BATTLE
Rock Island High School Basketball
Team Is Champion Of Three
Cities for Year.
DEFEAT DAVENPORT. IS TO II
Local Boys Show Real Teamwork in
Fight-No Individual Stars
Shine In Fast Scrap.
BY KEITH NELSON.

Tri-city champs These we're the
words that the Rock Island basket
ball team won from the Davenport
high school in the Davenport high
schools gym by the score of IS to II
last night.
Odds seemed to be against the Is
landers in the first half. They could
not make a basket. Both teams were
evenly matched throughout the game.
For the Davenport quintet Krasuski
and Captain Mackeever were the shin
ing lights. For Rock Island there
were no individual stars.
To prove that the game was one Of
the hardest that was ever played the
final score in the first half was to 4.
Davenport started the scoring in the
first few seconds OF play. Krasuski
made the first basket. Rock Island
made two points on foul shots. Dav-
export made one more foul
In the second half Krasuski again
started the scoring by making the only
field basket that Davenport got in the
last half Rock Island tied the score.
The Islanders came back and made
three field baskets and held the lead
for the rest Of the game. When the
final whistle blew Rock Island was in
the lead, Is to II.
Rock Island has won the honor Of
tri-city champions. The only team
that the Islanders are afraid of in the
district tournament is Galesburg
which the Islanders meet on the Rock
Island floor one week from today
Following is the box scores:
