castings of tires have been made up
of combination of woven canvas fab
ric and hard rubber. During the
past five years there has come onto
the market a new type of casing
known as the cord" tire, which is
rapidly gaining favor with motorists,
as they claim 1t is longer lived than
is the canvas fabric casing. In this
new tire, instead of using a woven
canvas fabric as a foundation, there
Is used series of strong cotton cords
or string. The claim is that these
cords will not break as readily under
the varying strains of country road
usage as Will the woven fabric. II

Hauling farm produce to market in
motortrucks represents one means of
the successful solution of the "short
haul" one of the most difficult prob
lens which confronts the transporta-
ton expert.
The failure of railroads to keep
pace with the expansion of the short
haul business; the development of the
producing areas adjoining the larger
cities in proportion to the production
demands asked of them; and the up
building of the motortruck manufac-
turing activities, as well as the re-
cent war emergency crisis, have popu-
larized this method of moving farm

Death Rate Jumped.
AS cancer is most prevalent in per-
sons over the military age. the proper
tion of deaths from this cause natur-
ally jumped, where the proportion Of
men of younger ages was reduced.
In this country, likewise. the records
were found to show that cancer was
most prevalent In Vermont and least
so In Utah and Montana, but this was
explained as being due to the fact
that large percentage of the youth

larger proportion of the population In
the western states was composed Of
newcomers, generally young men and
women.
Among countries, cancer mortality
was greater In Switzerland. and was
highest generally where the highest

supposes this to be due. not to any

that cancer Is less cften diagnosed

SAFETY FIRST

First, assume that you must
look out for yourself and the
other fellow, too. Don't rely
wholly on the other fellow do
ing the right thing. and you'll
be on your guard If he does the
wrong thing, and ready for the
emergency.
Do not cut the corners in turn
ing, but keep well to your side
of the street and look both ways
before you make the turn.
Put out a hand as a guide to
the car following or approach
ing.
In passing slower moving
vehicle, pass 1t on your left, but
in passing a street car always
keep to the right.
Do not follow another vehicle
too closely. 1t might stop sud-
denly.
Dim your lights when ap-
proacf,ing another auto on the
road.
Use common sense at all times
and you'll save trouble for your

ADVICE ON BUYING TRUCK.

There are several sources of
information which may be
helpful to the man contemplate
ing the purchase of a motor
truck.
Previous personal experience
of the operator is exceedingly
valuable. Experiences of other
operators may often be secured
for the asking. Motortruck man
ufacturers will be glad to fur
nish prospective purchasers with
such information of this nature
as may be available. Data Sc
cured from truck manufactur-
ers very often do not indicate
the conditions under which the
figures were secured.
Information thus offered is
usually an honest attempt to aid
buyers, but almost invariably
there is too much generalization
to make such figures a very val
liable basis of estimation.
many cost statements Issued
by truck companies do not take
into consideration the varying
classes of highways over which
trucks run, variations in the
load, total monthly or yearly
mileage and other important
factors.
A bulletin recently issued by
the United States department of
agriculture's bureau of markets,

Districts" will aid the prospec-
tive operator. 1t will be sent

Manufacturers of automobile tires

to replace the old wornout and dam
aged ones is one of the chiefest
sources of expense in the ownership
and operation of an automobile. Even
with the lighter weight cars the tire
cost per mile of travel is equal to, II
not greater, than the cost of fuel and
