THE NEWSPAPERS.

The newspaper is to-day the most
potent element in civilization. Its
audience is practically unlimited. 1t
reaches every class of people. 1t
penetrates to every hut and howell on
the farthest confines of human soci-
ETY.. The schools have an influence
and gather the children of the high
and low. But after schools are out
grown, teachers forgotten, and books
mouldy and dusty, the newspaper is
still a constant companion.
No public speaker, be he preacher
or political orator, can draw an au-
dience of one-tenth that which
greets the average newspaper of to-
day, and thus the tone of the press
becomes a matter of vital importance
to the welfare of the community
The influence is widespread and is
also lasting. Therefore, we say
study the contents of the paper you
are taking and if it contains that
which tends to lower the scale OF
morality and humanity and not tt
the elevation of that which is good
and right, better off are you by faI
without it.

HAVE YOU RECORD OF
 TIRE SERIAL NUMBER

Do you know that every tire or your car has serial number?" If so, have you record of this number
 Mine times out of ten the motorist who reports the theft of an automo- bile tire to the police is unable to tell the serial number of his tire, accord, ing to George Verkamp, manager of the BabLitt garage, local Diamond tire dealer. "This number is the only positive means of identification for the authorities. Telling the brand of the castings, describing its appearance ol telling of it's mileage record is of little or no consequence.
 Most of the large manufacturers of tires place serial numbers on each tire. Through these numbers can be traced not only the material in the tire, when the tire was made, but on what machine and what workmen han dled them.
 "It would be an easy matter for the thief to chisel off the serial number but in so doing he would decrease the value of the tire 75 per cent. Basis for adjustments are available only on tires with serial numbers. Thus, the importance of a record of the tire s number is obvious. Stealing tires without numbers would be profitless undertaking for tire burglars.
 Police officials in many cities state that the identification of one tire very often leads to the recovery of scores of others. Not only are tires but stolen automobiles as well recovered by tracing tire serial numbers.
 "In Chicago last year over $2,000,- 900 worth of tires were stolen and not recovered. The percentage of tires recovered would be swelled amazingly in the United States if au- tomobilists would make record of tire numbers. Hundreds of stolen cars would be reclaimed, also scores of auto thieves apprehended.
 Every month thousands of stolen tires are recovered by the police de- partments of large cities, but are dis posed of as so much junk at custo. dian's sale. If the police were noti- fled of the serial numbers of stolen tires many of these would be placed back into the hands of their owners.
 "As a protection to car owners Diamond tire dealers keep an accu- rate history of every tire sold. This is done in Sales Record Book The name of the purchaser, the date of sale, style of tire, size and the fac tory serial number are all recorded Should Diamond tire user have his car stolen, he can assist in it's re- covery by learning the tire serial num- ber from the dealer and giving this information"

CHINESE
 HAS A NOVEL TRIP

There was pretty custom among some of the ancients when promi- nent citizen died, to send his valet along with him to the road to Para disc, and it was oftentimes necessary to resort to extreme methods to insure this company for the departed. But in the territory of the China -Ameri- can Trading Co.,, Ford dealers in Tien- tsin, China, they have discovered a much better aid to the deceased over the rough places on the trip to the Promised Land."
 It is custom of the Chinese to burn various kinds of effigies at the funeral ceremonies of the rich, the more wealthy the departed the more elaborate the figures burned over his grave. These effigies represent every manner of thing such as human fig ures, horses, sedan chairs, tables loaded with money, etc. The figures usually conform to some of these stereotyped fashions, but at the funer- al of a MT. Lii, who died short time ago in Tientsin, and who was very wealthy man, the bereaved family out did themselves and made an imitation of the deceased gentleman's Ford car to be burned at his grave.
 This Ford effigy was made entirely of strong Chinese paper stretched on bamboo and reed frames. The car was complete in every detail. the ped als accurately placed, and all made of paper and bamboo. The interior of the car was also accurate in detail, being carefully upholstered in paper. The effigy of the driver as shown in the photograph, was work of art. The car was carried about three miles through crowded streets to the grave. side where a match was applied and it was consumed in few minutes.
 This is the first time a motor car has been burned at the grave of a Chinese, and there is every reason to believe that the deceased went up "On High"
