The application. care, and usage OF
tires are necessary things to consider,
but it is essential to the best service
that the correct size and type of tire
be adopted in the first place. Car CON
struction, power, lateral and traction
strains upon the tires must be kept IN
rind when determining the diameter
and cross section of tire equipment, but
the weight of the car is probably the
Icost important factor. This can be
found almost everywhere by running the
front half Of the car On platform scales,
ana noting the result The weight car
ried ON each tire will be one-half the to-
tai. This operation can be performed in
the case of the rear wheels, and the
same thing holds true. The middle of
the wheelbase will be the weight dividing
point between the front and rear halves
of the car. The approach to the scales
should be level. If reasonable care is
exercised, the total of the two opera
tions, that is, the recorded weight of the
front and rear parts of the machine.
should be within 20 or 30 pounds Of the
weight Of the car, when all Of it is upon
the scales.
The weight and distribution of the car.
power, speed gear and other points are
considered by the car engineers and car
makers in determining the tire sizes nee
essary for equipment. 1t will be appre-
hended, however, that the treatment de-
manded by cars will vary on account Of
road conditions, drivers and other rea-
sons. Therefore it is reasonable to ex-
pect some trouble from the tires on

HORSE AND BUGGY

Print 1t as News; Applies
to Other Places.

When a Detroit newspaper recently
printed news item to the effect that
"a horse drawn vihicle was seen thls
afternoon on Woodland avenue Detroit
ers thot it rather clever and secretely
prided themselves on the ultra metro
politan atmosphere which it indicated had
come over their fair city. But as far
as an obituary to the faithful Guadru-
ped goes, the reporters observation
might have been equally true for less
metropolitan places than Detroit.
The Bisbee- Douglas Stage Line, for
instance, out in desert clad Arizona has
abandoned the time honored four hands
of horses in favor of high hpowered auto
busses which are just as much up to the
minute as the finest ears to be seen on
Detroit's famed bonleyards.

and mail In much less time and far
greater comfort, the ranchers and busi-
ness men Of today speed over the same
roads where once ratified the four-in
hand stage, slow, jolly and not at all
certain of reaching its destination.
Moreover, the cost of transportation
BY auto compares favorably with operat
ing expenses of the horse stage, and
there's no guess work ABOUT those fig

Bishop Douglas Auto Stage are thoro

Record on Tires.
On tires, for example, they have kept
accurate records, tried all kinds and fin
ally settled on the Fisk cord tire as
most serviceable under the rigors of
rapid cross country travel In the face
Of extraordinary severe road conditions
they have obtained mileages far in ex-
cess of expectati us. and their enthusi-
asm for Fisk cords is backed by figures
and photoerafs which they profoundly
show on occasion
So as matters 60, Detroit with its
paved boulevards is not so very differ
ent from Arizona: in SO far as being
up-to- date is concerned, for the great
southwest knows Just rs much about
high powered cars and appreciates cord
tires for the same reasons: and the
horse drawn vehicle is equally out of

WILLIAM RANKIN
HAS BIG RECORD
President of Large Advertising
Agency Did Much to Help
Win the War.

There is no more enthusiastic or sue
cessful advertising man thruout the Z.
s. A. than William II. Rankin, the pre-
sident of the VIM. II. Rankin Co., and
chairman of the newspapers division Of
the American association of advertising
agents.
The advertising organization that
bears his name is one of the biggest in
America; it has offices in Washington,
Chicago and New York and handles some
Of the biggest advertising campaigns.
The personality of its president per-
meates the organization. William Ran
kin's war record is one of which he may
be justly proud.
For the American war department his
organization wrote and illustrated the
Liberty Loan News and the Smileage
Advertiser, two newspapers published to
promote propaganda for the raising of
Liberty loans.
The Liberty Loan News was an eight
page newspaper which outlined an ad-
verusing campaign for the great loan
and attracted considerable attention.
The Smileage Advertiser was a L.
page newspaper which was sent out to
$4,000 newspapers thruout America, and
sc effective was it prepared that in few
days thousands Of kilograms and CORE

mats and plates to be sold to focal ad-
vertisers to support the Smileage cam

vide entertainment for the troops.

with which Mr.. Rankin was connected
was the American Red Cross campaign

TO GET PROPER IDLING

Owners Of cars containing small bore
six-cylinder engines sometimes complain
of the difficulty of obtaining proper i'd
ling. The owner usually assumes that
the carburetor is at fault. As a matter
Of fact the trouble is usually caused BY
the spark plug gaps being set too close
This causes the motor TO roll when i'd
ling with all the symptoms Of loading
By increasing the spark gaps and clean
ing the plugs, the trouble will be cured

Silk Stockings
Made From
Wood. Etc.

Syracuse, Aug. 25-"Silk" stock
;ngs made from wood fiber, sawdust,
sausage castings and wood -four
photograph records will be among
the exhibits of forest products that
will be made by the New York STATE
College of Forestry at the state fair
to be held in this city.
The forestry display is par. of a
campaign to educate the people to
the necessity of preventing waste of
the forest.areas of the state
The so-called silk" hose have the
appearance of real silk and are Of
the same texture. Officials say they
are much cheaper than the genuine
article.
The biggest revolution IN the use
of wood, perhaps. is to be found in
the substitution of sawdust for sat-
sage castings instead of the old type
produced as a by-product of the
slaughter house. The wood is con-
verified by chemical process into
viscose, making a good substitute,
it is said.
The merry photograph with its
endless music also comes in for at
tention of the college scientists. By
making a food -four and compress
ing it under enormous pressure the
wood is made into fitting instru-
ment in the process of turning saw
dust into music.
\ Other articles made from wood
are tanbark shingles mahuiac trred
fire. m tanbark after it has been use d
in tannery, and paper milk bottles
also made from wood. Paper bottles,
it is said, will greatly decrease the
need for glass bottles.

Heartbeats

Allah
Has deprived me
OF many a gift
The gifts we most desire
Beauty and grace
One goal of the, race
Were forgotten
As l came through
The skies.
No silver spoon
No ivy covered
Or humble COT
There never were cur
Upon my brow
To frame two eyes
OF midnight blue.
There was never
A lyrical note
In my throat
No Willoy Zines"
To sway with the grace
Of reed.
No heart that craved
For the mighty rich
Nor for the praise
OF the crowd.
My hands
And my sight
20 wrong on art
The dainty birch Neat
From under my pen
Resembles waving palm
And yet
My Creator
Remembered one thing
In His task
OF assembling me
One thing more precious
Than all the rest
That which has kept me
Alive for the fight
He gave me
One priceless talent
A keen hunger
For ever
A larger Life
To enjoy with people
To suffer with people
To reach their
Heights and depths
Is a special gift
From God.

WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

More than 5000 French women
have been woed and won by Amerl-
can soldiers within year, it is
estimated.
A state charter has been granted
for the First Womans bank Of
Tennessee, organized by five women
of GAINESVILLE, with capital of $751;
600.
A record hard to beat is that of
Mrs. Z. H. Miller, wife of farmer
of Verona, Tex, who put up 1900
cans OF fruit and vegetables this sea-
son.
Queen Helena of Italy is an
ardent amateur photographer and
possesses large collection of sanp-
shots of members of her family,
scenic views, and war pictures
taken with her own camera.
Even the dangerous calling of the
bull fighter has had its female fol-
lower. Johanna Maestrick was the
name of the young woman who won
renown as a matador. At an early
age she was taken to see bull fight
in Portugal. Her feminine suscepti-
bilities, far from revolving at the
spectacle, were aroused to keen
desire and determination to emulate
the prowess of the bull fighter. Al
ter course of training she made her
first appearance in the arena at
Oporto The trial proved that her
ability and skill were equal to her
courage, for she quickly laid out two
. ferocious bulls and rode off in tri-
umph amid thunders of applause.

Society

rIsS ESTHER THOMAS, who
M has just arrived from over
49, seas, says that the girls sta
toned at the canteen at Dion
claimed that Omaha won the war"
Miss Thomas explained the state
ment by saying that large number
OF Omaha boys went through Dion
and that of course they all boosted
Omaha. She was stationed at the
larger of the two canteens which
were located near one of the largest
railroad centsrs in France. APP
proximately nine-tenths of the A. +.
r. passed through Dion at some
time while they were overseas.
twenty-five workers were IN
charge OF the canteen. There were
also 81 servants who were mostly
Russian men and French women.
The Russians were prisoners OF war.
but were most willing to help in
every way and were very depend
able. Dormitories which cared for
600 men were a part of the canteen
as was the bath house which boosted
20 >howers. Miss Thomas says that
although she worked constantly she
may say with all sincerity that she
never spent a weary moment over
seas.
The day the peace was signed,
which was also her birthday, Miss
Thomas was in Paris. She spent
the afternoon at the Peshing
Stadium and says that it was the
most wonderful event she has ever
witnessed. When the winner went
out into the center of the stadium
everyone surged forward cheering
and the colors of all the allied ma
tons seemed to form huge banner
which waved at his triumph. Seven
airplanes then came swooping over
head, eircling lower and lower until
they made huge circle over the
stadium, and then swept off into the
blue sky.
The cAnteen was closed on June
s and as women workers were not
I allowed to return on transports at
that time. Miss Thomas was given
leave. She made several trips into
southern France, visiting Nice, Bel
gium, Verdun. Rheims and portions
Of the front.
Miss Thomas returned on the
transport Antigone She will teach
at Central High school during the

lance the trip cost only $23. The
major part of that amount was
spent between Chicago and New

posted as a reward if the trip was
successfully accomplished. The con-
ditions of her coast-to-coast trip
were that she was not to ride on a
railroad or to ask for rides on any
vehicle. She was not to accept
proffered rides unless asked a sec
ond time. She was to refuse food
unless she paid for it or worked for
it. She found everybody very kind
on the way, so in all she had only
