CAMPAIGN SOON
 BY TIRE MAKERS

| Washington, D. C., May 17-A ma.
 tion-wide campaign soon will be
 launched by tire manufacturers te educate automobile makers and deal CTS in the ecoonmic importance of equipping cars with tires of the prop CT size. At the same time an effort will be made to check the wasteful practice of carrying too many Spares" This movement was inspired by re- ports of the Commercial Economy Board to the effect that out of twenL ty-one cars examined in a test, only seven were equipped with tires of the size recommended by rubber manu- lecturers. M I.,l....
 Car makers rapidly are recognizing the principle that tire mileage is gov erned almost as much by the weight of unsprung parts that bear directly on the tire as by the total weight of the car.
 Tire manufacturers will endeavor to drive home to the makers and dis tributors of cars that the thing of first importance in the selection of tires in proportion to the weight of a loaded car; and second, size in pro- portion to the distribution of weight between sprung and unsprung parts. :, Since the report of the Conner 'cial Economy Board was made pub lie, several tire manufacturers are ad- vertising their castings as Oversize" The real pioneer in the production of oversize" tires is the Gates Rubber Company of Denver, Colo. The very nature of Gates Half-Sole Tires nec- essitates an oversize.
 Selection of tires in sizes recom- mended by manufacturers will reduce the number of spares necessary to carry on extended tours. This will be emphasized in the educational cam paign of the manufacturers

FIFTEEN MILLION PATRIOTS TAKE
 VICTORY BONDS

Fifteen million Americans bough Victory Liberty notes, according tt estimates received by the treasury from federal reserve banks. This compares with about 21,0O0,0OO pur chasers in the fourth loan, 17,OOO, 900 in the third, 9,4OO,0O in the sec. ond, and 100000 in the first.
 The treasury announced that the official total probably would not be known before May 26. The total as compiled still stood a, $3,S49, ,0OO, ,0O0, but late reports emphasized the ear Her indications that the loan had been heavily oversubscribed.
 Federal reserve district commit tees estimated the number of sub scriptions in their territories:
 Minneapolis, 100000; Chicago, l. 100000; Cleveland 1,56O,OO; Boston 940,0OO; Philadelphia 1,5O0OOO; San Francisco S00,00O; Kansas City 9O6,- 900.
 The other districts could not esti- mate accurately their subscribers, but based on the reduced totals, as com pared with the fourth loan, the re- maining five districts should produce enough individual subscribers to bring the total up to fifteen million.
 Twelfth District Lagging.
 Unofficial advices from the Atlan- ta, San Francisco and Dallas dis tricts, all of which had Jagged, in- dicated that although there was no large \0ver subscription, all probably reached their quotas.
 The Chicago district estimates it's total at more than $754,OOO,OOO, of which the city of Chicago subscribed $40, 100000 without the aid of it's banks.
 The latest figures from the Cleve- land district gave total of S47O,- 100000, about $2O,OOO,OOO in excess | of the quota. The Kansas City dis trict reported total of $155, 5,48O,15O, including Colorado $28,S7O,15O; Ne braska $26,1SOOOO; New Mexico $799,80O; part of Oklahoma $29,499,- O5O; Wyoming $4,2OO,6OO. | Atlanta estimated that every state in that district would reach it's quota,

CALIFORNIA IN 1889
New York Evening Post

The first account in England o1
 California was written by Alexande,
 James Forbes, an Englishman, who
 later became British vice-counsel in
 San Francisco, and was published in
 London in 1889. It is an interesting
 and rare work, for it exhibited to Eu-
 r6pean and American readers the
 great natural resources of California
 treated with some thoroughness the
 religious and political institutions of this portion of the Mexican republic, anl even spoke of the possibility of an Isthmian canal. As it's full title, "Cal- ifornia: A History of Upper and Lower California From Their First Discovery" shows it dealt with a DOT tion of the Pacific coast below the Colorado river as well as with what we now call California. '
 Forbes thought that the missions were not performing useful work in converting and educating the Indians. He entrusted the life of the converted savages, tied to small plots of land, A'AAS in oIuoitu, liltily CdDlnS, gwen to vice, dying of tuberculosis, their religion another name for debasing superstitution, with that of their un- converted brethern, finding health, happiness, and some very substantial virtues in their free, rugged existence.
 He had no praise for the Spanish system of government, which in 800 years had done almost nothing to de- velop the agriculture and commerce of one of the richest regions on the globe, and he wished that the British had obtained possession of it. |
 ."Any foreign power, disposed to take possession of California, could easily do soy' he says. Within ten years it was in the grasp of the Americans and being flooded with inn migrants. This volume has been re- printed by ThomaS c. Russell, of San Francisco, in beautiful limited edi- tion. It follows the original, page by page; the grosser errors in the orig inal have been corrected, and the poor typography has become fine typog- raphy; but care has been taken to present the book essentially as it first

DEVIL AND THE DEEP SEA

The source of this expressive but rather cryptical proverb is not easily determined. It is usually held to have connection with the miracle of the casting out of devils at Cadara and the rushing of the possessed swine into the waters. In Clark's Pareamiologia published in 1889, it is quoted as Between the devil and the Dead Sea- The meaning, of course, is that there is a choice only between two terrible alternatives, and the all fusion may be to some long-forgot- ten incident of legend or fiction.
