POOR REPAIRING
ALSO To BLAME
Ruin of Tires Not Alto
gether Fault of Reckless
Driving, Says Booth.

Motorists who are tired Of being
lectured about the harm done TO tires
by careless driving will be glad TO
hear the blame for premature tire
ruin laid partly on other shoulders.
while It Is true that most Of the
tire injuries which come to our at
tention have been caused by careless
driving, they have usually been aggra-
waited by bad repairing" sassy D. c
Booth. manager Of Quick Tire Service,
Inc, 323 Texas street. distributors OF
United States tires.
a good repair man is as hard to
find as the proVerpial SnoWStOrm IN
July. He must know everything
about the complex structure OF tires
be interested enough TO study the par
ticular injured tires brought 10 him,
and careful in the work OF repairing
We have found that former work
ers in tire factories who have learned
all the processes make the best re-
pair men. They know tires as well as
the expert who designed them
The simplest form Of injury Is a
cut, but even this requires careful re-
pairing. First, the cut must be thor
oughly washed and trimmed Unless
this Is done. the sand works into the
tire and the friction wears away the
rubber and fabric When the hole has
been filled with rubber scraps, the tire
must be heated so that the patch is
welded in with the other structure
Otherwise the patch would come out
and leave cavity. Finally. the out
side patch must be trimmed. so that
the tire will run smoothly
The most important qualification
Of a repair man is the ability to judge
when a tire is so worn that the cost
Of repairing will not be justified by
the additional mileage obtained Our
men reject as beyond repair very few
OF the tires that come to them"

Valley Farmer Says FL
Paso Duck Hunters Have
Unique System.

1T sounded Ike the opening up Of
battle as we used to hear it across
the Rio Grande." said the ford gard
ner describing a platoon OF FL Paso
duck hunters he had seen In action.
7 came upon them unawares and al
first was ready 10 surrender. Then
I saw the assault was made on ducks
and felt better.
But say, those hunters had the
greatest system / ever saw. It was
team work that got results. They
were scattered over half an acre or
so, Q. C. Youngblood. Of the Oakland
company, Mr.. Parmalee, Mr.. Newton.
S. !. Burdiclz. r Y. Jones and several
others whose names I do not now re-
call Their plan was to get the ducks
started and after getting them com
pletely beElldered by cross fire Of
concealed forces. the reserve forces
cut loose and killed them. M Fonug-
blood seemed to be acting as supreme
observer After the advance forces
had emptied their guns. Mr. Young
blood signaled to the reserves that the
ducks were befuddled and then the
slaughter began. There ought to be
a law against shooting ducks after
they are befuddled. After the first
assault BY the advance guard those
ducks acted as II they had been to
Eintou."

Slight Difference In
Mechanism Often Makes
Big Sdping in EXPENSE

Owners Of Fords often have con-
siderable trouble with transmission
band Innings that can be avoided by
choosing the right kind OF article
when the stitches wear through,
states Roy Yonge. OF the Yonge Auto
supply company. The trouble is.
continued Mr.. Tonge, that the trans
mission band lining pulls very tight
and the turn is so short that the
stitches are soon worn out This is
also true OF fan belts Cork insert1
on the band lining or belt causes them
to catch much easier. wherefore IL is
not necessary to have them so tight
This means that they last many times
as long II Is a proposition well worth
Investigating before buying another
transmission band lining OF fan belt"

Campaign to Keep Roads

Mean Big Tire Snpine

Auto men generally and tire dealers
in particular do much towards teach
ing the owners OF cars to preserve
tires and save money. It IS the opin-
ion OF manager H W. Bauder. OF the
American Auto Supply company, that
more attention to the condition OF
roads and streets as concerns loose
articles dangerous to tires such as
glass, tacks, nails. scrap iron and the
Ike, would also be productive OF much
tire saving and repairing. This is a
phase in which all citizens must be in
terested. For while the streets OF e
Paso are remarkably clean. as a rule,
in some localities and on county roads
at times, considerable saving might be
made and much injury TO auto tires
avoided by removing and preventing
such distractions.

himself down TO the lightweight class

was forced to work more than ever

WHY GERMANY IS HATED

Seattle Times
 The wanton destruction injury of works of art by the German armies in Italy is characteristic
 Just characteristic the refusal Of Brltlsh troops train their guns the Turks defending Jerusalem, when bombardment of the enemy's posi- tions would have jeopardized buildings and places held in veneration by the Christian world.
 Jerusalem vital to the success of the Eng fish forces operating in Palestine Padua is to the armies vainly assailing the Italians on the Pave. Yet spared Jerusalem while the other wreaked vengeance upon Padua.
 This latter city, railroad center behind the Pave line has been raided three occasions by Teutonic planes Each bombing expedition has worked havoc among the famous monuments and churches or the historic city. Paintings and frescoes by Titan and other masters have been torn and scratched by the concussions Rose windows and Renaissance stained glass windows have been shivered to fragments The 5epuchre of St Anthony narrowly missed by one of the missiles.
 History is piling up tremendous score against these modern vandals, who do not hesitate to smash the most precious relics of ancient art in order to score a passing advantage in modern war. Genera ons after the present struggle has ended, will survey the havoc wrought by the invading Huns and will denounce both the race that caused 1t ana the men who directed that in it's hideous work.
 Germany always has wondered why it has failed colonzng nation; just as it now remarks, in ap parent amazement the fact that all humanity seems united against it in in spirit. Such incidents IS the bombardment of Padua, which exposed price less works to grave danger despite the fact that little or no military advantage resulted from the a'r plane raids, explain why mankind entertains a su preme contempt for modern Germany
 The contracting attitude assumed by the London troops while fighting around Jerusalem likewise ex plains the of the English colonial efforts and the support of peoples of varied nationalties resident in countries removed thousands Of miles from the little group of islands that forms the nuc eus of the British Empire
