Since IL IS up TO everybody TO as

cessory dealers have agreed 10 do

evening and on Sundays, IL becomes
necessary for every car owner 10 pro-
vide himself with the necessary tools
and repair materials so that he VIII
be prepared for any accident that may
occur while he IS on the road
"One OF the most damaging things
a car owner can do Is TO run on
flat tire" states Henry W Bauder,
OF the American Auto supply COM
Dany- The casing and tube viii be
ruined thereby in many cases and
badly damaged as 2 rule. tt is there
fore wei for the autOist TO have the
following extra articles in his kit:
Jack. pump. screw driver. extra spark
plug. pieces OF light Globe tape. ex-
ira tube. blowout patch. radiator &C.
ment and tube repairing outfit. These
articles viii save a lot OF trouble
and wastage- I have known many
trips to be made on fiat tires through
lack Of these articles and depending
always on good luck.
Every repair man who IS thor

Of retreading and repair work viii

said, when interviewed by a Herald
reporter, that the owners and users
Of motor trucks have not kept pace
with the manufacturers in obtaining
the highest point OF efficiency in
operating their units.
Manufacturers and wholesale deal

clerks in the science Of transportation
There may have been a time when
corn was 60 cents per bushel and
hay S12 per ton that but little notice
was taken as TO how long the old team
Of mules pounded away at the flies
at the back shipping door, while the
shipping clerk 'swatted' them inside,
but that time IS IN the distant past"
he said.
1T has not been long since con-

An additional investment OF from

GIVE ATTENTION
To TRUCK TIRES
Tires on Trucks Require as
Careful Treatment as

The average business man under

not overloaded. etc, but has a wrong
idea relative TO truck tires-it ap-
parentIy being the general opinion
that they are either very rotten
naturally or so very good that they
require absolutely no attention at all
This idea is too prevalent and as
result the cost OF shoeing trucks IS
greatly in excess Of what it should be-
The following suggestions II fol-
lowed will result in a considerable
saving to the truck owner.
If tires are continued in use after
being worn down thin, the owner
is not practicing economy as he 50
often believes. but on the contrary IS
subjecting himself to greater ex-
pense-not to the tire itself, DuL 10
the truck itself
The solid tire Is not built today
which viii not be ruined by driving
in street car tracks. Such careless
ness and Indifference will soon cut
away the tires width, leaving the
truck without, part OF the cushion
ing effect, or with tires understood
to such an extent that the remaining
part OF the rubber goes TO pieces very
fast
Avoid overlooking, as Il viii cause
more unsatisfactory solid tire service
than any other cause. All four tires
can be ruined at one time by over
loading the truck with too great
load. If a piece Of rubber is stretched
within its elastic limits it viii return
to its original shape and condition
but If stretched beyond that point II
will never come back The same prin-
chile holds for truck tires Overload
ing comnresses the tire beyond its
limit. with breaks It down and ruins
its life
Speeding should be avoided also. as
when a tire strikes some obstruction
it undergoes the same effect as u
5oas when overloaded. and too. the
truck Is very apt to skid. which tears
the tires loose At the base and causes
excessive wear Of the rubber

FL Paso Gets Trade
In Vulcanizing Work
From Wide Territoru

That the reputation Of FL Paso vul-
canizers is recognized as second TO
none throughout the broad territory
tributary to Fl PasO, is proven by the
records OF the e PasO VulcanizinE
works. Manager Don Finley finds
from examination Of his books that
during the month Of August the COM
pany has made los shipments OF re-
paired and vulcanized tires to various
points in western Texas. New Mexico,
Arizona and other points.
As these shipments have averaged
from one to eight tires each. prob
ably averaging four tires. 1t may
readily be seen that an enormous
trade has been built up by local re-
pairmen. Mr.. Finley states that tires
received from mining companies are
usually cared for in time while tires
in the city are many times worn much
too long before attention is given
them in the matter OF repairs.

T Tres Are Being Used
To the Limit around Ell
Paso. Saus Ambrose

There may be a wastage Of tires
because OF the lack OF care in some
cases but as far as wearing them out
is concerned. the job couldn't be done
much better than IL is at present
states manager J. ". Ambrose. of the
Borderland Vulcanizing works.
However" continues Mr.. Ambrose.
sit is not always real economy TO use
u a tire so closely. At times we
must tell the tire owner that he has
come too late. The tire is past re-
pairing whereas II the tire had re-
ceived attention three weeks or a
month sooner Il would have been q
considerable saving TO the owner"
1t is the belief OF Mr.. Ambrose that
the general efficiency Of tires and the
saving accomplished will be greater
II owners keep closer watch on their
tires and repair before they are too
far gone.

CROSSES

Each life must have its crosses,
And soldier gets his share.
From trip across the ocean
To the envied Croix de Guerre.
There are crosses by the Censor,
Far too many. so it seems;
There are crosses in the letters
From the grille of mis- dreams.
There's a cross worn by heroes
Who have faced a storm of lead;
There's a cross when he is wounded
There's a cross when he is dead.
There's an iron cross awarded
For murder and for rape;
It's the emblem of the devil,
It's the cross of sin and hate
There's the little cross of Mercy
That very few may own;
For a soldier it is second
To the cross of God alone.
It's cross that's worn by women
When we see it we believe
We can recognize an angel
BY the Red Cross on her sleeve.

of other red blooded Americans at

The machine gunner has one of the
most perilous jobs in the army, for
one man left alive behind one of the

might easily break up Hun attack.
