Passing a modern home in the city,
set on high ground with shade and
every comfort, a woman remarked,
Why do people leave a comfortable
place like that TO spend nights in the
cubby holes called rooms at most re-
sort hotels?"
She is an elderly woman to whom
comfort and convenience appeal more
than change. Perhaps she had lost
much Of tine youthful viewpoint Young
folks look at vacation trips and camp
ing and all of that differently from
their elders, but even so there Is good,

remark.

the back yard arch over to form COM

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Joseph John Quincy,
is IT YOURSf
JULY 2, 1888.

There are many charming stories
about the early Quakers In England.
and some of the best are about the
famous Quincy family. In the time
OF william the Conauerer. the FIRST
Gurney came TO England and re-
ceived large grants Of land around
Norwich. which became a sort Of
headquarters for the family. The
majority became Quaxers. and as all
Of them were wealthy, they were
noted for their great charities and
philanthropies.
Jeseph John Quincy was born near
Norwich. the tenth child Of the fam-
lily. HIS father was a banker His
mother died when he was young and
his sisters brought hinr up, One of
the sisters was the famous Eliza
beth Fry whose memery Is 50 be-
loved by all Friends. Between these
two there was alwoys the. greatest
affection. Joseph helped Masy Fry In
all her reforms, Because OF his re-
liSion, ne was not admitted to Ok
ford. but received an equally good
education from private tutors. When
he was thirty he felt he should be-
come a minister. and he devoted
himself from that time on TO preach
ing and featuring. He talked prison
reforms. slave emancipation. and
free trade. He visited the United
States and was honored by every one
from the president, who heard him
talk, down TO the poorest citizen
! he became q devoted t-.en. q the
great Henry Clay. A seat In the Eng
iish parliament was offered him, bun
he refused. feeling he could do more
widespread good by his lecturing.

EIGHTY CENT ICE CRIME.
TSioux City Journal

Eighty cent ice Is a crime and IL the
high prices prevail turnout the sum-
mer, the city should take steps to es-
tablish municipal plant. in the opin-
ion, OF Councilman Henry Michelstet-
ter.
The publicly owned plant has pro-
ven successful in Omaha and other
cities" said Mr.. Michelstetter.
'-TAis idea OF penalizing a man be-
cause he pays cash for ice is unfair;
Many consumers have found that the
safest way 70 avoid mistakes is TO pay
the iceman each day. When coupons
are taken there is danger OF Il mis-
understanding as to whether they have
been paid or not"
City officials estimate that the aver
age family uses at least 200 pounds OF
ice a week, which total SI.59 in cash or
sl.40 by the coupon route. An ice bill
Of between Sc and 81 month In pro-
hibitiye TO many families. II is believed.
The ice men attribute the increase
from 50 TO so cents since last year to
the fact that the mild weather result
ed in n very poor ice crop. Ice that
is manufactured or shipped IN is very
expvusaaTTe because "a .,shc- conditions

larger than that on other commodi-

IF LINN COULD VOTE AGAIN.
tCedar Rapids Republican,

lCedar Rapids Republican,
II the good roads question were TO
be voted on in Linn county tomorrow.
there would be a stili more decided
majority IN favor Of the hard paving.
There has been a decided change OF
opinion among farmers who were at
first opposed to it. One of them con-
fessed the other day that he had not
only voted against il, but had advised
against II, and he believed that he had
Influenced many Of his,neig hbors. But
/ wouldn't do il again" he added sig
nificantiy. Now / would go out Of my
way to vote for It and 10 get others 20
vote for it,.
He said that most farmers had not
placed themselves into touch with the
actual law. When they do so they
are convinced that il Is good law
and best of all II is good Law for the
farmers for they get the roads I'M
proved in front of their lands Tor
twenty five cents on the dollar in cost
and the folks In the cities pay more
than their share Of the rest.
Yes, that is the truth OF 1t from the
farmers standpoint and how 1t is pos
sible for any man who OWNS land anc
who knows what mud Is TO oppose
such a law is more than many Of uA
can make out But they are not OPP
posed to II in the county. we have
ALWAYS insisted. they ara not opposed

TO all of US and 10 them most OF all
The only farmers who have a right

abut on such roads so to - improved

The passenger automobile has al
ways been looked upon as the syn
onym for comfort and ease Of rid
ing. To the motor truck, on the 9TH
sr hand, has always been attributed
hard steering and bone-breaking rid
ing qualities. The reason is not diff
6cult to find. The pneumatic tire has
made possible passenger car devel-
opment to the point where sustained
speeds of 80 to 50 miles are COM
mon, with no succeeding discomfort
TO the occupants and no injury to
the motor and running gear. Air is
still the cheapest and most effective
shock absorbing medium. This is be-
cause Of its compressibility, which
will allow great variations in the
size of the container in which the
same quality Of air may be stored.
A pneumatic tire is none other
than a tight air container, and If the
volume of this container is reduced
BY reason of increased outside pres
sure due to contact with a large
stone, rut, or other inequality in the
road, no other effect is produced
than 4 temporary increase in the
pressure of the air; whereas, with a
tire composed of solid rubber, the
same stone or other inequality in the
road would make A smaller dent" in
the rubber, because this medium is
only slightly compressible, and
whatever shock absorbing qualities
Il may possess In itself are due to its
Feplaceability or flowing" qualities.
Manufacturing difficulties encoun-
tered in the production of large-sized
pneumatic tires, coupled with the
high cost OF such fabrication, have,
until recently, resulted in a we'll de-
fined size limit, above which 1t was
deemed impractical to produce them.
Inasmuch aa the carrying capacity Of
pneumatic tire is directly depend
emit upon its air volume, the diameter
of the cross section, or air-contain-
ing space, constitutes the factor de-
termining the size of truck upon
which such tire may be used. Con-
sequently, with a tire manufacturing
limit of FIVE and half or six inches
for this dimension, the motor truck
OF two tons capacity has represented |
the maximum commercial use OF
pneumatic tires.
Overwork Necessary.
With the increase in efficiency and |
delivery speed created by war de-
mands it has been found necessary
to over-work many of our motor |
truck fleets. The speed of three or
five-ton truck is normally restricted
approximately to IL and 10 miles per
hour respectively but it is an easy
matter for engine designers to in
crease the power developed and to |

Toys yet produced could long post

concentrated and severe punishment.
With such restrictions in the war
activities of motor trucks placed
squarely before the tire manufac-
turers, means were found to over
come the difficulty, and the result
has been the development Of pneu-
matte tires for commercial car pur-
poses which, although still more or
less in the experimental stage, have
demonstrated the practicability of
driving FIVE and even seven-ton
trucks, fully loaded, at speeds which
would put to shame the best efforts
of q touring car of a few years ago
In order to test such tires thorough
ly and to demonstrate their practic-
ability under certain conditions, an
express service between Boston and
Akron has been maintained for over
year. Seven three and five-ton
trucks comprised the feet, and by
the use Of pneumatic tires the rum
ming time for the round trip of
1900 miles was reduced from two
weeks to four and a half days-and
this with no greater resulting dam
age to cargo or physical condition
of the crew that would be expected
from the ordinary 12-mile-an-hour
pace of the solid tire-equipped truck.
Across Continent.
Recently a more severe expert
mental trip was made with two
trucks Of the same feet across the
continent from Boston to San Fran
cisco and return by way of Los An
geles and the Santa Fe trail. This
trip was successful in every respect
and demonstrated that q fully load
ed fve-ton truck could be expected
to negotiate roads or trails open to
the average touring car. The total
distance covered was $3.50 miles,
and the average speed maintained
during the running time was 144
miles an hour. When it is realized
that much of this route traversed
deep sand and mud, and that a por-
ton was negotiated during the wet
season when many touring cars
were held up by the imagined inl-
possibility Of the road, it will be
seen that the average speed on the
