WHEN YOU
ARE STUCK
IN THE MUD

4 resourceful motorist whose car has
been stuck in the mud does not always
have to fall back on pair Of mules TO
get free For such an emergency the
United States Tire Company offer some
suggestions that have proved valuable
The first calls having stored away
somewhere i'm the car stack Of old
newspapers. When the car gets stuck
and the wheels refuse to take hold feed
in some Of the old papers between the
tires and the mud. Usually only few
viii have to he worked in before the
wheels will begin TO grip and the car
start forward. This method of hand
ling a difficult situation is so simple
and so uniformly successful. that every
motorist should know of it and carry a
pile Of old newspapers. unless he is
equipped with some other apparatus for
such contingency.
Here is the other method suggested
by the United States Tire Companv.
Put the car in low. and if you cannot
feed the gas with your foot evenly. so
that the wheels viii revolve slowly. nut
Your emergency brake ON. Do not nut
1t on so that the wheels will not reyolve
a. all. but tightly enough to keep them
from revolving rapidly With the
wheels turning slowly. the maximum
pull is delivered to them by having the
car in low gear. and so long as they
turn slowly they can get tie benefit of
the tremendous power.
It is not always wise 10 MI the hole
with stones or bricks. for their rough
edges are hard on tires. Small branches
Of trees are better as they offer a slight
push that will not much more than
move baby buggy will furnish just
the added amount Of power necessary
to get the car going.

ne is not worrying over the selection or
q referee for thc Willard Damps,y bout
a. Toledo July 4 ami / doubt If the fans
have given much consideration 10 thus.
but il is a question that should have
lot OF thought before Ii referee is named.
It IS doubtful III there has ever h@cn
q match for the heavyweight champion
ship where a referee has had as great
responsibillty That may Sound odd to
some. hut just think 1t over. Here is
bout scheduled for but twelve rounds
and the worlds title is at stake. There
is 10 b. a referee and decision which
means that If the bout goes the limit he
must name a winner or call the match a
draw after having seen the men in ac-
ton SO minutes.
Now that may not sound like n tough
fob. but I believe it IS a lot tougher
than it would be to name winner in
20 or 25-round bout where the referee
has bad a chance TO see the men in ac-
tion sixty or ssventy-five minutes.
Any ordinary referee would be per
fectly satisfactory If there should be a
Knockout. but In a short bout the
chances OF a knockout are much less
there is Just that much more chance
that the referee will have TO name the
winner.
Then too. remember that IT will be a
tough Job for q referee If the bout
should go the limit with Dempsey. but
a slight shade in the lead. for II is a
pretty big proposition to have TO give
a verdict against the champion and ta.le
his title away from him
