A mans religion, said Carlyle, is
the most important thing about him.
No life can mount higher than its
source. If its influence is salutary
and fine, its sources are always relig-
ious. Back of all great public work is
great heart-experience. No man can
be truly and permanently strong with
men who is not at peace with God and
drawing from Him his strength.
The devotion of our brother to this
church and to the religious interests
of his home were as evident to me as
his devotion to his country. Several

The Busy Hour
for
Teleph0ning

If we comprehend that residences
are ordering their groceries and sup
plies - that retailers are ordering
from the wholesalers, that freight de-
pots are notifying their consignees,
and professionals making their daily
appointments-at just the time we are
doing our own ordering, it must be-
tween nine and ten o'clock in the
morning.
If the cline is busy" when we call
at that time, it is also busy for 9TH
ers when we are using it, and the
whole situation might be relieved If
we called later in the day.
If the person persists in visiting
during the busy hours will have fine
consideration for others, she will do 1t
later in the day. She will not under
any circumstances talk over five min
utes. And she will use the telephone
on party lines for reasonable and ne
cessary purposes only.

| Government Test on
Tires Sharp and Severe

Though perhaps every motorist real
ICES how sturdy the construction of
serviceable auto tires must be to with
stand successfully all the varied strain
to which they are subiccted, 1t Is only
when one knows officially Of the Cruel
ling tests which the government ap-
piled in war time before approval that
thorough appreciation of their remark
able resistance is available.
We quote from a report of one of
the officers of the Motor Transport
Corps as to the nature of these tests:
"The road test was very severe, be-
ing over some of the worst roads in
Maryland with an exceptionally heavy
load Of merchandise.
"The chemical test was scientific, the
tire being put into tank of very
strong acids and salts and kept therein
for forty-eight hours. After the chem
ical test it was put through what is
means that the tire is put into an oven
and baked and the results showed
whether or not the rubber was properly
cured.
"The overseas test is the most inter
esting and severest of them all. The
tire is put on a spin wheel with an
inner tube with hundred pound air
pressure and spun around on sort of
cam shaft at terrific rate of speed,
hitting all kinds of broken metal and
glass, tacks and nails, and in fact sew
eral sorts of sharp edges that would
penetrate through the rubber and
fabric.
"All the above experiments required
a new pneumatic tire of each make for
each test, and the tires were bought
at different points throughout the
United States, so that the manufacture
ers would not get specially made tires
for tests"
One Of the newest tires on the mar
ket, the Brunswick, is reported to have
held the highest average in these rigor-

at 1903 Broadway. This is a station
conveyance for both passengers and
luggage. The train that must be

More individuals Now
Buying Cars, Says Noorhis

Increased individual buying power
on the part of the public is response
bic for the greatest spring demand for
motor cars in the history of the auto
mobile business, according to Charles
B. Noorhis. general sales manager of
the Nash Motors Company.
Dealers throughout the country re-
port an extremely high percentage of
sales for spring delivery in which no
other car is taken in trade says Mr..
Noorhis. This means. taking the coun-
try as a whole. that thousands of per
sons are choosing their first auto
mobile. The increase in buying power
is undoubtedly due to number of
things that developed during the eigh-
teen months preceding the signing of
the armjstice.
During that period the cost of liv-
ing was higher. but money was never
more plentiful. In s.e country dis

tricts farmers received good compen-
sation for wheat and other cereals.
In the large industrial centres work
was plentiful and wages higher than
in normal times. This condition. of
course, meant good business for mer-
chants both in small towns and in
large cities.
AT the same time there was a gen
eral tendency on the part of the pub
lie to avoid extravaganza. With con
ditions swinging back to normal and
with the relaxation that has come over
the country following the trying eirh-

that this increased individual buy-

about the limit hereabouts. The reason
for overestimating hills is that in
looking up grade the distance appears
to be much less than it is really; we
seem to see great rise in short
distance and of course conceive of a
steep grade. If the eye properly Judged
distance with height we would know
that perhaps it was but gentle slope.
Hills That Look Steep
When going down one grade and
about to start up another invariably
the one ahead seems to be very steep.
because here we have even greater
angle of observation. 1t is like esti-
mating the height of waves at sea. The
unaccustomed eye, when the ships bow
goes eyre the crest of wave, sees the
mast tops apparently on level with the
next wave and AZ once calls the wave
100 feet high, because it is compared
with the height of the mast. The angle
OF the mast was wholly neglected.
Sometimes when touring the motor
appears to be pulling fine on an appar-
entity steep hill, while at other times
the opposite is true and the motor la
bors on what we think a slight rise
The reason lies in the wrong estimate
In each case. The eye has led up to
jump at a conclusion by observing the
Srade AT wrong angle.
To test out my eye as to grades
have been measuring some of them re-
Gently, with the following result:
West Drive in Central Pavk, Just
below 10th Street, going north, Az
per cent; going south, 51a per cent.
Viaduct on l55th Street west of Cen
trail Bridge, is 5l2 per cent, while the
slight hill at the west end of the via
duct is 10 per cent.
The well-known Fort George hill, the
scene of so many hill-climbing tests,
is about II per cent
Probably one of the steepest hills in
the city is little stretch of 1S7th
Street from Broadway to Wadsworth
Avenue, where the grade is Is per cent.
In figuring the percentage of grade
1T should be remembered that 100 foot
rise in 100 feet horizontal distance
gives an angle of 45 degrees, but it is
100 per cent grade.
While we are likely to overestimate
grades care should be had that we do
not overestimate the pulling power of
the engine on grades. One should learn
to shift gears handly and then give
the engine a chance. 1t will tend for
longer life for the power plant. and the

To Spend a Billion
On Automobile Tires

American motorists will spend
more than 81 900, 100000 for automo-
bile and truck tires in 1919. This is
the estimate of the 3. F. Goodrich
Rubber Company, and Is based on
conservative average price to each
tire. This amount does not include
money expected to be expended for
inner tubes and repair materials,
which undoubtedly would swell the
total by several million dollars.
Before the year closes it Is con-
fidently expected that fully 7,300,o 900
motor vehicles will be in operation
In this country. Three-fourths of
the tires for this enormous number
of cars and trucks will be made In
Akron, Ohio.

quite swift enough for any one, con-

William P. Riggs, provides for the
distribution among horsemen of a to-
tai of $4,000, or an average of more
than $4,000 a day. There will be no
purse of smaller value than 1000 and
the better of the overnight races will

Pimlico will be marked by the inau-
gural running of a brand-new stake,
the $1,000 Pimlico cup. This race will
be handicap at two miles and a
quarter for horses three years old
and over and it will be the stiffest
test of speed and endurance that will
be offered in the east. The next long
est of eastern fiat races is the Sara
toga cup, gallop of one mile and
three quarters.
Beside the Pimlico cup the stakes
that will be decided in the course of
the November session of the Mary
land Jockey Club are: Pimlico Au-
tumn handicap, $1,000 added. three-year-
olds exclusively, one mile and quar-

twenty-flrst engagement between the
two teams. the first contest having
been staged in 1894. With just

ton of the lineup for the opener it
can be said that only two positions
appear at all certain. Rodgers at
fullback and Bailey at center appar--
emily have no opposition that threat
ems to test their strength, though
both have capable substitutes in
Brooke at fullback and Emsweller.
Grove and Rugh at center. Harrick,
Archer, Ice. McCue, Kay, Butts, Wei
mer, Mullan and Setron are guard
and tackle candidates, any one of
whom may be chosen for one of the
positions. as the coaches are making
the requirements of the guards equal
~ exacting as those for tackle. At
ends Mills. Hager, Martin and King
are still neck and neck with no de-
clsion in sight. At halfbacks Lents.
Hlte and Jones are unusually well
matched, and Lewis. Lytle and Neale
promise to run a dead heat at quar-
terback. with only the big games to

word that the stable of Morton l..
Schwartz will arrive early in the

Schwartz stable, which is being
trained by John Hastings, are the
mare Enfilade and the three-year-old
Audacious. Audacious, big son of
Star Shoot and Bold Girl, is the best
three-year-old that has developed in
the east this fall. Audacious. of
course, will be the Schwartz candidate
for the ten-thousand- dollar Maryland
handicap gallop of one mile and
quarter for three-year-olds exclusive
ly that will be run on October at
Laurel Park. And in the Maryland
handicap he will meet. perhaps, those
radoubtable champions, Purchase and
Sir Barton. Probably he will have
something of an advantage as regards
weight, but Mr.. Schwartz would be
willing to take one chance on Auda-
cious if he had to meet Purchase and
Sir Barton on even terms. He thinks
well of this colt.
