air-flled space that communicates di-
rectly with the inner tube by way Of
the valve. Tubes running through the
two disks increase the surface that il
exposed to the air.
AT every revolution Of the wheel the
weight of the car rests for an instant
upon the point at which the valve is
attached. This congresses the tire at
this point and drives some of the hot
air from the inner tube into the cool
air space in the body Of the wheel.
AS the wheel revolyes and the pres
sure is taken off this point, the cool
air flows back into the inner tube.
This, according to the inventor, pro-
duces constant circulation of air and
keeps the tires and tubes cool.

Making Temporary Repair on
Broken Valve on Highway Is
Quite important.
Piece OF TIN FOR WASHER
Soft Cedar Stick May Be Used for
Measuring Gasoline in Tank--Tire
Should Be Retreaded When
Worn--Other Points.

Nowadays and nowanights when
automobiles glide along city streets
and country roads at speed far in
excess of that ordained by municipal
bylaws, one sometimes wonders If the
children of the next generation will
know what horses look like or at best
will know them only through the
medium of the pictures of Rosa Bon
heur and other artists.
But fifteen years ago horse was
almost as necessary to an automobile
as was gasoline. So many were the
times when the machine persisted in
landing itself in ditch or became
stalled In ditch or, seeming without

ter Of the road, that 1t was never safe
10 get very far away from first aid.
Even now eatastrophes happen some
tipes though not so often as for
ERrly.
Humiliation Avoided.
Some simple bit Of ingenuity has
saved many an automobile the hui
initiation of being towed to a place
where permanent repair or replace
ment could be made. One very useful
wrinkle is temporary repair on
broken valve. IF valve spring
breaks, remove the pieces and find in
the tool box washer that will slip
over the valve stem. Replace the
broken spring with the washer be-
tween the two parts, and the spring
will work as well as ever.
Care should be taken that the wash
er is of such diametergboth inside ana
outside that the broken spring ends
cannot work into the hole or outside
of the washer. If the spring Is
light one, such as the spring OF an
automatic inlet valve, and no washer
can be found in the tool box, 1t is pos
sible to hack one out of bit of tin.
If a screw is lost from place
where it serves the function only or
plug, being subjected to no stress,
a wooden plug will always answer the
purpose.
For measuring the depth of gasoline
In the tank, presuming that no gaso-
line gauge is fitted, keep clean STICK
in the top Of the tank, under the seat
cushion. A soft cedar stick shows the
height of the gasoline well. Don't
pick up a stick and poke 1t into the
tank without making sure that 1t is
clean, or there may be mysterious car
buretor trouble later on-perhaps
after the stick has been entirely for
gotten.
Care of Tires.
A tire should not be used after the
rubber tread has nearly been worn
through. Have 1t retreaded and 1t
will be good for much more service.
If the canvas is destroyed, however,
the shoe is permanently ruined.
Missed explosions are not infre-
quently caused by the points OF the
spark plugs being too far apart. Ut
dinarily the points should be about
one thirty-second of an inch apart. IL
Is true that 1t they are fufthef apais

Liberty Bonds.

We bought our bonds in time
OF stress to help our Uncle Sam1
tight; war being done, we say,
We guess We'll say to all our
bonds, Good night We need
the coin for gasoline, for suits
OF clothes and shoes and lids, for
playing on the slot machine and
buying fireworks for the kids"
Folks are so anxious to unload
their precious bonds, they scarce
can wait they want to scorch
along the road that takes them
to the poorhouse gate. And SO
the price of bonds is down. to
figures low I've seen them skid.
and gents are hawking them in
town, and asking us to make a
bid. The wise man buys in all
he can, he'd rather have those
bonds than wheat; the seller is
an also ran who'll never live on
Easy street. A little while and
men will wish to buy the bonds
to have and hold, and owners
will remark, "Odsfsh! THEY'RE
worth more now than minted
gold" How foolish are the
sons of men, how fatuous, so
help me John! If they have
fourteen bonds or ten, they're
frantic till said bonds are gone.
They care not for the rainy day
the day they're living is
serene. and SO they throw their
bonds away, that they may burn
more gasoline. All heedlessly
they whoop along, and put a
mortgage on their coops, and
sell their thrift stamps for a
song, that they may gayly loop
the loops. WALT MASON.
