TIRE FABRICS
STILL IMPROVE
Better Roads Built; Tires
Constructed to Withstand
Heavier Wear.

As the armor builder IS continually
increasing the repelling power Of his
armor as the penetrating power OF
huge shells becomes greater. so the
highways are increased in condition
to Withstand greater and heavier cars,
and at the same time the cars and
tires are soon constructed as to with
stand greater bumps and shocks.
The United States Tire company has
placed on the market q cord pneu-
matte tire in sizes large enough 70
carry the heaviest commercial loads
at speeds equaling those developed by
passenger automobiles, and with no
more damage to roads than is caused
by the highA- vehicles. Through this
achievement the truck maker can now
build a much lighter truck and the
total weight on the road is made up
Of a far greater percentage Of useful
load than heretofore. The race be-
tween tire builder and road builder
has been called off on account Of
United States pneumatic truck tires.

PREVENTION IS
PROPER REMEDY
Better Prevent a Car Being
Stolen Than to Depend
on Recovery.

People who permit their children
to play with matches and depend on
the fire department to extinguish the
blazes are no more careless than car
owners who fail to put a proper lock
on their cars but instead depend on
police and newspapers to recover
stolen cars"
This Is the opinion OF Charles A..
Barker, OF the Auditorium garage.
Cars are stolen here frequently, re-
painted. numbers changed and ap-
pearance altered" says Mr.. Barker.
The police are at a great disadvan-
tage in searching for the car. Often
the cars are taken across the Rio
Grande Up or down the river and hope
OF ever recovering It is at an end. Car
owners should not depend on recovery
but on a good lOck-that Is q stitch
in time"

Of the Gates Half Sole company last

in Mr. Hudson's eyes as he spoke. too.
You see he has built up a big trade in
half soles-or, to speak more cor
rectly. whole soles-and had not an
ticipated so much business that his
usual order OF tires would not take
care Of Il.
But that was exactly what hap
pened- kilograms were soon flying

and thanks to the promptness of ex-
press companies Mr.. Hudson now has

Part That Bears the
Brunt Must Receiue
Most Careful Attention

"A man may be able TO travel with
out gloves but when the soles Of his
shoes wear through and his feet come
into contact with the rocks, travel
comes to an end. The same is largely
true Of an auto. The top may be bit
worn and the curtains shabby and the
car run wei, but when the tires are
neglected. the trip comes to an end.
This IL the practical view OF Mrs NJ.
LeGross Johnson. manager OF the Uni
versal Tire company.
The remedy is the same in both
cases" says Mrs. Johnson-''have tires
mended in time. It is loss Of money
when either man or auto goes lame
and has 20 be out OF business for a

One does not recall much Of the
sermon. It was punctuated at inter-
Tais with those emphatic exclama-
ton points. One not accustomed to

resounding IT'S than to the labored,
homely awkward figures Of speech
falling from the preachers lips But
between times It was evident that
the others. those boys in khaki, lis
tened. All OF them sat there still

times the preacher had to pause,

Up the road as he hurried along
to the next piace-a dugout in the

the boys they know more about

ADDED VALUE TO
USED AUTO PARTS

Since crude rubber and steel has
been limited to manufacturers OF au-
tomobiles, repairing has to hear the
brunt OF the auto burden, instead OF
owners buying new cars and rolling
the old cars into the junk. This
means the additional use OF not only
the cars" says J. c. Byars, manager
Of Byars & company, but also the
continued use Of parts as long as they
are disable Because the government
encourages this we are buying. SELL
ing and exchanging used Ford parts in
part OF the war plan and part Of our
business"

CIRCUIT-RIDER IN FRANCE
The preacher stood at the center
Of the pit. He was q man Of fifty
or thereabouts-tall, spare, angular,
with grizzled hair and STOPPING
shoulders plain, awkward fellow
a man Of the people. Three gen
erations ago, any Sunday morning,
you might have seen one Of his
kind, riding his rounds in the back
woods region Of some Far Western
community, bent on carrying the
Gospel from one outlying congrega-
tion to another. This was what this
man was doing, too His type may
long have passed in America, but
In France that itinerant evangel, the
eircuit-rider, seems to have come
into his own again
{ This one had ridden far to-day.
He had come up from behind the
lines, making his way to the front
by railroad and army truck The
last few miles Of the journey he did
afoot, trudging with his pack and
bedding roll along a shell-swept road
unsafe for any vehicle. As it was,
sTery now and then a shell would
come trundIing over the crest Of the
hill nearby and fall with fat, clat-
tering crash IN the fields alongside.

seemed to think Of that The small
