CARE AND ATTENTION
REQUIRED FOR TUBES
Owner Wants to Avoid lnconven-
ienCe of Changing on Road.
When Small Cracks Can Be Observed
in Rubber While Stretched. II Is
Indication That Tube Has
outIived Usefulness.

"How am / to know when an inner
tube is DONE is a question am ask
ed repeatedly" declares a tire dealer
1T is the natural inquiry of tire
user who has several repairs made on
his tubes and wishes to obtain the
utmost mileage from them, yet wants
to avoid the inconvenience of making
tire change on the road, due to tire
trouble.
"In these times when economy Is
the order of the day, tire user hold
Ing an old tube in his hand, can well
afford to ponder a minute before cast
ing it aside as through
ut is difficult sometimes to deter
mine just when a tube is unfit for
further service. However, por0sity in
tube usually indicates that it has
attained its three score and ten. In
this stage of use, very small cracks
can be observed in the rubber if it is
stretched and examined carefully
The next development is splitting
when the air pressure becomes too
great for the tube to bear.
'If the rubber in tube is live 1t

must be exercised in the vulcaniza
tion of the patch to the tube, that too
large a portion of the tube around
the patch is not cured. If portions of
the tube have been overcured in patch
ing operations, disaster is sure to fol-
low.
81 believe that the lack of proper
care of the tube is responsible for
most of the troubles tire users ex-
perience. The observance of few
precautions would help wonderfully to
eliminate these troubles.
"The absence of sufficient tale be

Much tube splitting is occasioned
by the slipping of the tube between

results in pinch The remedy is

FITTING NEW KEY TO SHAFT
Not Good Practice to Fit Larger Key
to Shaft in Which keyway Is
Badly Worn.

1t is not always good practice to fit
a larger key to a shaft in which the
keyway is badly worn and has been
cut to take the new key. The trouble
is that it is sometimes necessary to
remove so much metal that the shaft
is seriously weakened. Any welding
concern can fill in the old slot and
then cut a new keyway.

THREE INCH SHELL USED DURING WAR TO
 TRANSMIT MESSAGES

NEW YORK, June 21 (by Associated Press).-A hollow three-inch shell, fused to emit on striking a gas of smoke-like density by day, and lumin- .ous at night, and used to transmit mes- sages from division headquarters, to advanced or exposed positions, is an other wartime secret which has now been made public.
 This form of communication was first used by the Germans, and after. ward adopted by the allies. A sample of the shell-one that was captured from the enemy during the St. Mihiel drive-was brought home by Vice Admiral Gleaves on his return from France.
 According to Admiral Gleaves, the shell has range of about 1000 yards, and is self propelling. It's velocity was such as to require IA seconds to travel that distance, "slow enough, the admiral said, to enable an active man to dodge it, should he see or hear it coming. When 1t struck, it could be readily located by its smoke cloud by day, or it's light by night, picked up, a cap unscrewed and the message in side delivered to the officer for whom it was intended.

ALASKA MINER MAKESC0PPER FIND IN IDAHO

WALLACE Idaho, June 23.-Three sheep men with the nerve characteris- tic of plainsmen have put one over'' on the big mining men of Idaho by opening one of the biggest copper finds in Idaho. Some of the leading mining engineers and operators in the west look into the copper possibilities of the Heath district, forty miles north of Weiser and few miles from the western boundary line of Idaho in Washington county. The find was made by R. M. Straight, an Alaskan miner who knew that the Heath dis trict was highly mineralized. Instead of interesting mining capital, he found three ranchmen, Robert Stansf1eld, George Dinsley and J. B. Adrain, who were willing to take a tenderfoot's s chance and furnished the money
 The group of claims was named the I. X. L. and now crosscut 600 feet long shows some of the best porphyry copper deposits in the west.

LETTER FROM FRANCE , 7 MONTHS REACHING
 MAYOR OF PITTSBURGH

PITTSBURGH, June 21 (by Asso- ciated Press) ).-That a letter, address ed to the mayor of Pittsburgh, was re- turned to the sender marked "un- known" by local postal authorities, was brought to light recently when Mayor E. V. Babcock received a com muication from the, mayor of Nancy, France, after it had been delayed eight months.
 The letter, under date of October 8, 1918, was received in Pittsburgh few weeks later, but the postal clerk who handled the communication, stamped on the envelope the intelligence that Monsieur Le Maire, de la Villa de Pittsburgh, Etats Unis de- Amerique" could not be located in the directory. The letter was advertised, and finally returned to the Nancy executive, who appealed to the American embassy in Paris. He explained that he was ex- ceedingly anxious that the people of Pittsburgh read the words of appre- citation of the folk of Nancy for two flags presented to them in connection with the Bastile Day celebration here July IA last.
 Paris embassy officials enclosed the letter in another envelope, readiness ed it, and Mayor Babcock received the communication only few days ago.
