"STONE BRUISES"

One of the most mysterious things that happens to pneumatic tires is the blowout that follows a stone bruise.
 A tire may sometimes "blow up' may give way while running over a glassy-smooth pavement. In either case, the owner curses the tire, it's maker and the man who sold it to him.
 Very few people who ride on pneu- mate tires understand their qualities and limitations. Not one person in a hundred takes into consideration the terrific strain put upon tires when travelling at high speed over ordinary roads. It is hard to visualize the tir- rife impact when a tire strikes a stone the size of an egg imbedded in the road while going at a speed of thirty-five miles an hour.
 At the time such blow is struck possibly only half a dozen threads in one or two of the powerful plies of fabric are broken. These loose threads at once become source of trouble. The breaking of one layer of fabric permits the threads to chafe each other, setting up an internal friction that causes further disintegration. The other plies soon break down and the blowout comes, usually at time when circumstances point to no ap- parent cause.
 
 On the Inside of the tire shown in this>illustration, you will notice large break in the fabric, This re- suited from an accident, the wheel passing over a stone about the size of two fists, causing the injury shown without leaving the slightest mark or indentation on the outside of the case.
 In tire subjected to this abnor- nal strain, the fabric is bound to give way, but it does not necessarily follow that the outer cover will be marred especially if the object is smooth and blunt. To better explain the point, if a. tire under pressure should receive a hard blow from a sledge hammer, the fabric would break in this manner without leav- ing the slightest mark or indenta- ton on the outside of the case.
 For your own curoisity take a piece of heavy rubber and, with a hammer, see how difficult it is to make an indentation in it. Some- times tire may be run weeks after the fabric is broken from the bruise before the blowout occurs. It has even happened in garage, with the car standing still. Sometimes the break will only exist in a few of the plies of fabric, which will pinch the inner tube, allowing the tire to deflate gradually.
 Tires should be inspected by a good repair man periodically. A bruised tire can be successfully re- paired by removing the damaged fla brio and rubber, and vulcanizing. Motorists themselves should occa- sionally examine the inside of the easing and see if the fabric is rup- tured. This should always be done before an extended trip.

WARLOAN WORK
SPEEDED Up BY
new DIRECTOR

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8 (by Asso-
ciated Press ALI the war financing
organizations of the Twelfth Federal
Reserve district have just been con-
solidated by Governor John U. Cal
kins of the San Francisco Federal
Reserve Bank into the war loan Or
ganization of the Twelfth Federal Re
serve district, with Robert E. Smith,
president of the Title and Trust Com
panv of Portland, as director, and
G. A. Farnsworth, Twelfth District
Liberty Loan Publicity Manager, as
associate director.
The War Loan organization will
direct the closing up of the business
of the Liberty Loan organization and
also look after the sales of certificates
of Indebtedness and war savings GER
tifcates and stamps. Particular at
tention will be given to the sale OF
the new Treasury savings certificates
Just issued by the u. S. Treasury De-
partment. They are in denomina-
tons of $500 and $1,000, and the in
terest is compounded quarterly as
with the War Savings stamps.
Director Smith made spectacular
distribution of the Treasurery say
ings Certificates throughout the
Twelfth district. On receipt of the
first million dollars worth Of the new
securities in San Francisco by Gov
ernor Calkins he turned them over
to Smith for dispatch to the direc-
tors in the several states and terri
tories in the district.
Hurrying from the Federal Reserve
Bank by auto and ferry to the aero
plane field back of Berkeley, Smith
hoped into the passengers seat in

Along the silent gallery
And up the empty floors
Dim figures move from desk to desk
And vanish through the doors.
And phantoms in the buckled shoes
And queues of long ago
Touch heads in confidential groups
Or hurry to and fro.
No busy pages pass in haste,
No gavel sharply raps,
No oratory shakes the dome
With verbal thunderclaps.
No bills are nodded into laws
Or eloquently spurned,
NO long debates are lost or won,
For Congress has adjourned.

To see if Freedoms bodyguard

SEEDS

George +. Burba in the Columbus
Dispatch
If we knew something about seeds,
and the germ of life therein, we
would know a great deal more about
Nature than we de. For the truth
is nobody SCENE to know anything
about seeds. except that they contain
a germ of life that reproduces the
kind of plant the seeds grew upon:
Under the microscope the germs all
look alike-that of the big oak tree,
that of the tender trailing vine.
There is no way of knowing one
germ Of life from another except by
the overcoat it wears.
The cocoanut is the seed of the
cocoa tree and the grain of corn is
the seed of the plant we call corn.
But the germ life in the cocoanut
is very small affair, as is the germ
in the grain of corn. The over
coat" is the kernel of corn, as is
the big rough thing we call the CO.
coanut, and both seem intended only
to protect the germ and furnish food
for it when it sprouts.
Some seed are so small they can
hardly be seen. But, however small
they may be, each has within it the
spark of life that reproduces plant
eNdCllN 1lht tilS OllC II 3 CIV bPcii'
Seeds behave themselves in diff
ferent ways. That is to say, there
are some seeds whose germs will
remain alive indefinitely, unless the
seed is planted in the soil, and others
whose germs die within a year if
the seed is not planted.
Then there are seeds that come
up only the second year after they
are matured. This is the case with
the cookie burr-a sticky sort of
seed that fastens itself into your
clothing as you tramp through the
fields. There are two germs of
cookie burr. One of them comes
up the spring following the sum-
mer it ripens; the other germ lies
in the ground for still another year,
coming up the second spring. Thus
if you were to prevent any cookie
burrs from growing this summer
il there were not a single cookie burr
come to maturity this year next
year the germs that prefer to lie
in the earth two years would spring
up and we should have a fine crop
of cookie burrs.

slums which are one manifestation
thereof?
One question Immediately arises
with regard to this second consider
alton, and that is transportation,
TO make decentralization possible,
transportation must be quick, regu-
lar, reliable and cheap. As a matter
OF fact, 1t comes in the end to the
question of five-cent fare. In Bos-
ton and many other localities we are
confronted with a situation which
works absolutely against this funda-
mental necessity of decentralization.
The situation in Boston at the pres
ent moment is one which is working
in the opposite direction through a
progressive increase in fares on
steam and electric railways. We be-
gan at five cents and remained there
for many years. We then went on
to seven cents, have recently ad-
vanced to eight cents, and there is
now veiled threat that before Ions
the minimum fare will be ten cents.
II believe that every one inter
ested in the question of decent hous-
ing and in building up decent citi-
Zenship, should set his face against
this scheme of doubling the fares OF
our street railway service. In sane
tioning this increase in rates, Bos-
ton places itself absolutely out of
line with the most progressive COM
munities in Europe. In England,
France, Belgium, and l think Ger
many, the tendency has been and is
now in the other direction-that is.
toward reducing fares instead of in
creasing them. In Brussels, for ex-
ample, | am told that many work
ing people live twenty miles outside
the city because they can obtain sea-
son tickets enabling them to come
in to their work in the morning and
go out at night on certain specified
trains, the total cost per week being
twenty cents, or less than two cents
per trip."

Nations Scramble For Arctic

Spitzbergen for centuries was a
poor relation of civilized countries,
none of them thinking it worth
claiming, but the discovery of i'm
mense deposits of coal has caused
Germany, Great Britain, Russia and
Scandinavia to scramble for owner
ship. The Peace Conference or the
League of Nations will have to ad-
just the claims.
An American firm had begun in
1914 to develop the field. But Spitz-
bergen is no mans land and has no
law. So no man was bound to re-
spect the holdings or doings of any
other man. An international tribun-
al met before the war to adjust the
situation, but the war ended its
work. Germany and Russia. though
neither had any rights in Spitzber-
gen, divided control OF it in the treaty
of Brest-Litovsk. and England sent
a naval expedition. Denmark and
Sweden asserted tentative claims and
Norway alleged that it had discover
ed the Arctic archipelago in 1900
and ought to own 1t.
Peace brought the Spitzbergen
controversy to light again. The Paris
conference probably will settle the
matter once for all.-From the Spo-
kane Spokesman Review.

MAKE THEM WELCOME

A LII the returning soldiers

ought to be kept constantly in mind
by our people, to the end that the
demonstration may be worthy the
men who have rallied to the coIors
and acquitted themselves with
great honor.
So far as possible there ought to
be union of effort in this homecom-
ing reception and parade, but the
uniting of the forces of the home
folks need not interfere in any way
with proper receptions of consid-
erable units which may arrive from
time to time before the Fourth of
July.
