PREACHER BECOMES
SKY PILOT N FACT

London. July 21.--There has been
talk. Of flying hearses and a short tim
ago clever London press agent man
aged to wedge into the news the al
legged fact that theatrical troupe was
to do the European Kerosene" circuit
via aeroplane; but here's the very lat
est. :,
The ministers one-horse shay has
given way to the tidy little aerial rum
about.
The Rev. A. w, w Little. vicar OF
Blackpool, has discovered he cannot
get around his parish fast enough by
auto. so today he chartered an aero
plane to take him from Blackpool to
Liverpool In order to be on time for
one of his preaching engagements.
The frst veritable sky pilot in
history declared after the trip that he
was welded to the idea of speeding
his ecclesiastical labors by aeroplane
and was going In for this sort of thing
regularly"

VALUE ATTACHED
TO AUTO ABSTRACTS

A real solution of the motor car
theft problem and reduction on
theft insurance rates of at least fifty
percent is the promise of the Auto
mobile Abstrac. and Title company.
| million dollar Detroit and Chicago
corporation which proposes to issue
abstracts OF title for automobiles.
No more feasible plan has been ad-
lvanced for the complete and absolute
elimination of the automobile thief. 1t
will be quite as impossible to steal
and sell motor car so protected as
II would be in the case Of real estate.
in fact the automobile abstact finds
an exact parallel in the abstract issued
for real estate--to prove ownership
and guarantee title.
, From the motorists point of view
the immediate and most important
results will be a material reduction in
theft rates which, in many parts of
the country are now prohibitive.
In addition, the abstract will serve
a number of other worthy purposes
such as providing informa ton of
mortgages, liens, and similar legal
claims which may exist against a. car.
The automobile abstract IL the big
gest thought in motor car protection
since the advent of the automobile
itself. 1t is the only logical, business
like manner in which five billions five
hundred and fifty millions OF motor
car wealth can be adequately pro-
tected.

SHOULD TEST TIRES
BEFORE PURCHASE

Before buying a tire" says r. B.
Bramwell, advertising manager of the
Michelin Tire company, every mo-
torist ought to put 1t to certain tests
to determine whether or not the tire
IL likely to give satisfaction"
One OF the most important of the
tests which Mr. BramweH recommends
Is to determine the thickness of the
tire tread. This is easily done, since
most tire dealers carry cross-sections
OF the various makes they have In
stock. All that the motorist need do
Ia to place ruler on the cross-section
and measure the tread thickness
II lis obvious that. all else being
equal. the tire with a thick. wide tread
will wear longer than the tire with a
smaller. lighter tread.
Mr.. Bramwell also points out that
Michelin Tires have long been famous
for their heavy. sturdy construction.
For instance. in this 34x4 Michelin Uni
versal Tread Non-Skid. the tread and
carcass OF the tire are one inch
thick. In other words. one-quarter Of
the thickness Of the entire tire is a
solid though flexible mass Of wear
resisting rubber and fabric
