for the plaintiff the two sons of
Georges who lives on a farm adjOn-
ing that of Raetz, climbed into the
cellar of Mr.. Raetz's house after

WOMEN SOLVE
MYSTERIES OF
AUTOMOBILES
Display Surprising knowledge of
Cars Inner Works at Can
adian Exposition.

That women have come to possess
more than a casual knowledge of motor
car mechanics was demonstrated recently
at the Canadian national exhibition in
Toronto, Canada
Speaking of the industrial progress of
that country as evidenced by the exhibits
of various manufacturers and the adj
vance Of education, the Hamilton Herald
states:
There has been progress, not only
among Canadian manufacturers of auto
mobiles, but also among the people. For.
instance, it was noted at the Overland
display where new model tthe Over
land a was introduced, that thousands
of women as well as men inspected the
chassis with very apparent knowledge
Of motor car mechanics. A few years
ago not one woman in a thousand knew
what clutch was for.
The Canadian national exhibition
proved woman's capacity for mastering
the theory of automobile technique.
The exhibition, 5of which T. A. Rus
sell. president of WHY'S Overland, Ltd,
was the executive head, is described as
being the most notable event of its kind
Canada ever has witnessed.
In addition to the industrial exhibit.
a feature of which was the new Over
land 4, now being built entirely in the
plant of WHY'S Overland, Ltd. IN West
Toronto, there was an extensive ex-
hibit of war memorials which attracted
widespread attention.
So great was the attendance at this
years exposition that the directors OF
the affair are considering the adVlsabil-
ity of extending the present properties
where the annual event is held.

that such tires are new and unused.
They have also by the use Of the name
adopted for their firm. attempted to use
the reputation acquired by the Goodyear

out that the name adopted so nearly

Save Tire Implements

At a motor car service station on a
highway leading out Of large Eastern
town, the manager was constantly losing
his small tire pressure gauges, which
were Appropriated by motorists who stop
ped to initiate their tires. To make it
difficult for tourist to slip the gauge
into his pocket. the owner equipped his
air line with large model gauge with a

taken away. He chose a large diameter
pressure gauge, Of the type used on
boilers or air compressers, and screwed
it to a flat block which was furnished

Barney Oldfield-I am experiencing a
great deal of displeasure and annoyance
through pinched tubes. | buy standard
shoes as also tubes, but of late | have
had numerous instances of tire going
down and upon examination, find the
tube was pinched. | have all changes
made in the garage and / am beginning
to incline to the opinion that there is
some neglect Of propert precaution in
placing tube in shoe. Would the strip
that comes with most shoes to protect
the tube have any effect in causing this
break or could it be caused by not put
ting a sufficient amount, or no amount
of talcum.-C. w. w
These pinched tubes are a result Of
improper mounting Of tires. Either the
tire tools are not properly handled or
the flap is put in wrong. The flap can
pinch the tube.
