Tire DOnt's,

Don't overload your tires. A tire
will give out" sooner from overload
than from almost any other cause.
Don't underinf1ate. Underinhation
and overlooking account for fully 90
per cent OF all tire trouble.
Don't neglect small cuts. These
will often extend farther than you
think. Dirt and water get in, the
fabric rots, and a blowout follows.
Look over your tires from time to
time and repair small cTts.
Don't run in ruts, car tracks, or
against curbing. The side walls of a
tire are much thinner than the tread
and will not stand this kind of usage.
Don't start or stop suddenly or skid
around corners. The strain thus set
up in your tires is terrific.
Don't run on fiat tire. Better run
on the rim If only for a short distance.
Don't let oil, grease, or gasoline
remain on your tires. They all de-
stroy rubber. Wash only with pure
cold water and q little soap.
Don't keep a spare tire out OF use
too long. Change over occasionally
A tire lasts better in use than ex-
posed to the sun and rain on the run
ming board, or suspended at the rear.
Don't let your rims get rusty.
Common stove polish will keep them
in good condition.
Don't let the weight rest on a de-
fiated tire. Jack up the wheel or re-
move the tire.
Don't let your axles or rims become
bent. If your wheel doesn't turn free
and true, your tires will suffer. If
your wheels are not in line, remedy
the trouble; you are dragging your
tires. They will show a rapid and
one-sided wear not generally under
stood by motorists, and usually
blamed on the tire.

London Papers Criticize the
Plan of League of
Nations
SAY GERMANY SHOULD
NOT BE ADMITTED
The Nation Says the League Would
Make "a New and Stronger Despot-
ism Should Be No Alliance to En-
force Peace by Compulsion.

LONDON, March 1.-The British pub
lie, as evidenced by few well-considered
press criticisms upon what may be de-
scribed as the League Fight" in the
United States, is closely following the
American situation and drawing more or
less interesting conclusions. In Great
Britain, as in France, the situation Great,

tions prevailing in the United States,
whereby the President has TO defend his
attitude against a congress more or less
no actual counterpart At the same time,
the British press, evidently deriving its
cue from the American attitude, has been
stimulated to take issue with the trainers
of the peace covenant at the conference
Thus, The Nation of London is led to
criticize the present constitution of the
league as making ''the world not safe for
democracy, but for new and stronger
despotism." Various amendments to the
covenant are suggested and the alleged
admission of Germany to equality is de
clared to be a palpable flaw in the con.
