charity. This was a real shame in
times Of such frantic needs. He could
not do any of the honorable, pleasant
things that one can do with money.
He had to do many of the dishonor-
able, loathsome things one without
money must do.
In his desperation Bayard's thoughts
reverted to his original rescuer, his
father. He never appealed to the old
man in vain. Bayard had often prom
ised himself the delight of sending
home big check as subtraction
from his venerable debt. But it was
a promise easy to defer, in the face of
all the other temptations and oppor-
tunities. His father never pressed
him, never expected return Of the
money he had been investing in the
boy. For child is piece Of furni-

Daphne had watched Leila's little
scene with as much confusion as the
other two Kips. She felt a norrihi

an to woman, but no more than
healthy amount. for she liked Lem

Leila full need of applause for that.
What embitter Daphne was that
it had to be Leila and not herself that
saved her father, and that Leila hao

had not paid for herself-ornaments
gewgaws, gifts.
Leila had collected from life perhaps
three thousand dollars worth of jew.
els and Daphne had collected nifty
dollar check, framed-and that check
was in lieu of work. AS soon as she
remembered that check she ran up to
her room and took it down from the
wall, ripped Off the back Of the frame

Booklet Tells Story of
Pneumatic Truck Tires
Large Amount of Information
for Vehicle Operators in
L. S. Tire Pamphlet

Every scrap Of specific information
regarding the actual performances of
pneumatic truck tires is snatched up
eagerly by motor truck owners, who
realize that the success Of the big tires
will open up wide the field Of motor
truck usefulness.
In ffty-page book entitled "Facts
About Pneumatic Truck Tires" recent
ly issued by the United States Tire
Company, are set forth many facts
about truck tire development that deal
in a very definite way with the tire
problems Of the truck operators. The
opening article deals with the early
efforts of the company to make q sat
isfaetory pneumatic for trucks, which
resulted in 1911 in the manufacture of
the first pneumatic truck tire, and
finally in the perfection of the Nobby
Cord.
There is an array of statistics as to
actual performances of pneumatic
truck tires in every conceivable line Of
business, as we'll as information re
garding proper imitation and methods
of mounting and demounting the big
tires. The chief purpose of the book
is to show that at the same time that
they render sturdy service truck pneu-
MATES effect big economies for truck
owners along several distinct lines, IS
follows: Increasing speed, thus enlarg
ing hauling radius; reducing repair
charges resulting from vibration and
Jars; decrease in gasolene and OIL con-
sumption, elimination OF breakage Of
cargo, and lessenng of depreciation.

As they did two years ago when the

Dodge Brothers executive says:

"The problem OF the used car buyer

"Thc majority Of buyers of used cars

little or nothing of automobile me-
chanics. If they follow the usual GUS
tom Of buying the car 'as is after q
cursory inspection and short demon
stration, they may wake up in few

buying car 'as is There are so
many ways an interruptions dealer can
doctor up. and temporarily conceal
faults, that it is almost impossible to
tell the true condition without taking
down The entire machine.
Realizing this dependency of the
buyer, and also that regulations Of
both the dealer and the maker Of the
car depended so greatly on service the
used car gave after in service, Stude-
baker some time ago stopped selling
used cars as is. Every Stude baker
car they take in exchange for new

Tax on all Vehicles

Speaking generally, motor cars
are the only vehicles which are COM
PEELED to pay any tax for the use
of roads, while horsedrawn vehi-
cles escape entirely. Whether this
proportion of exemption is fair or
unfair, or should be increased, is
matter which the Legislature will
soon have to decide.
A great many difficulties, however,
will present themselves before any
serious alteration can take place.
Looking from the viewpoint Of road
destruction, the horsedrawn vehicle
is responsible for some damage, and
such taxation would only be entirely
just from the road makers and au-
tomobile users point Of view
