MORE ATTENTION TO TIRES,
{ ADVICE OF MANUFACTURER
Bills Can Be Cut Almost in Half by Careful
Driving and Good Common Sense.

OF course. tire makers are in the
business Of making and selling as
many tires as possible. but President
John NJ. Mcguire of the Midwest
Rubber Association is constantly en-
Joining upon manufacturers the neces-
sity OF unselfish cooperation with con-
sumers in the matter Of service for
concerned. He therefore has had pre-
pared by the service department of
his own company, the Portage Rub
Der Company. some expert advice to
tire users.
An automobile owner soon gets into
the habit Of looking into his gasoline
tank, or at his oil gauge, to see il he
needs gas or oil. but gives very little
thought to his tires.
Tires are all built on a core to give
them a certain shape, and This shape
can always be maintained with the
proper amount of air. When tires
are not properly inflated they bulge
instead Of being rounded. This buIg-
fug throws the strain on one place in
stead Of distributing IL. all over the
tire. The result Is a hingfng action,
which creates heat or friction, even
tually causing the layers of fabric
to loosen from one another and a
blowout" is the result.
Tire manufacturers have compiled
some very interesting figures regard
ing tires. which have become un-
serViceable prematurely. One manu-
facturer states the loss OF tires, ruined
before they become worn out-through
carelessness on the part OF owners
amounts to 800. .OOO. 900 annually. which
loss could almost be entirely eliminat-
ed. Another manufacturer makes a
statement that one out Of every three
tires used are on wheels out OF align
ment. or on wheels which are wobbly-
causing the tread to wear down quick
iy due to unnatural causes. Still an
other states that 80 per cent of tires
which do not give complete satisfac-
ton to their owners are due to the

or course. the car didn't cost its
owner that much, but that was the
amount brought in by the car.
1t happened this way. The Saliva
tion Army in Seattle started to raise
funds to build a home for frIendless
girls.
Among the first to offer assistance
was the Seattle Lodge Of Elks, No
90. And as is always the case with
the antlered brethren. what they do
they do with a vim.
They bought the Liberty Sport
model outright and then sold tickets
on IL.
Slightly more than 10000 tickets
were disposed Of at 81 each. making
$4,000. which the Liberty car
brought to the Elks and which was
gratefully received by the Salvation
Army.

SAYS AUTOS CAN
CUT LIVING COST
Transportation Solution to
Problem, States Manu-
facturer.

"of every dollar paid by the av-
erage consumer for meat milk, bread
and potatoes. only e cents goes to
the producer" says the Illinois Agr1-
cultural Association In reporting the
findings Of a recent investigation.
The cause OF this increasing differ
ence between the price to the farmer
sne cost to the consumer. according
to r. E. Fulton, vice president of the
International Motor Company. lies
chiefly in the concentration Of popu-
lation in large cities and the result
ing segregation of the farmer Mr..
Fulton suggests the improvement OF
highways, which will encourage the
use OF motor trucks and bring the
farmer nearer TO his market. as the
only logical remedy.
Years ago." he says, when the
farmer drove 10 town with his load
OF eggs. they cost less than 10 cents
dozen and the cons amer received
them fresh from the farm. Now the
growth of the cities has pushed him
N-~o bhC
kets, with the result that he must
chip them to the city by rail. where
they are put in cold storage and de-
livered TO the consumer months later
at q price that has already passed
the S0-cent mark.
"Of course. monetary imitation has
had a great deal to do with the ir-
creased price. but there is no reason
why this difference between the price
paid to the farmer and that paid
by the consumer cannot be diminished
by the improvement of highways and
use OF motor trucks to bring the
farmer back to his old proximity to
the market.
Legislation that discourages the
farmer in his efforts, whether II be
insufficient appropriations for high
ways or any determination against
the motor truck. is contrary to the
best interests of the people for whom
lie Is the source OF livelihood"

fact that the owners do not carry sui

Give as much attention to your tires
as you would any other part Of your
car. We should all realize that tires
bear the brunt of all driving. are sub
ject to bumps and bruises. glass cuts,

Your tire bills can be cut almost in

the proper pressure at all times, and
by using good, common sense.

Battery Filler.

Many car owners have suffered the
annoyance OF trying to pour distilled
water into their storage batteries and
having much of II slop over. Here is
a little device that makes this op-
Grafton accurate and easy. Drill a
hole in the cork that fits an ap-
rropriately sized bottle. Into this hoe
thrust quill or glass tube Next
drill small hole in the neck OF the
bottle, just about where 1t swells out
into the body. The flow OF water
can be regulated by covering and un-
covering this hole. which admits air
to the bottle.

When rattles develop in the hand

have the brake refined and drawn up
tight II it is not possible to do this
at the moment it is possible to help
matters by the use of small coil
springs, hooked in such a way as to
take up the play. The springs should
be light, so that they will not cause

port the weight and hold down the
hand which has been jumping and

We who sit aside and devise human

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT

We observe that Lieutenant Won Hau-
sen, the German aviator who claims to
be the flier who sent Quentin Roosevelt
to his death, has been badly injured while
he was testing planes preparatory to sur
rendering them to the Americans in ac-
cordance with the terms Of the armistice
and his injuries may prove fatal. Van
Hansen gave Lieutenant Roosevelt cred
it for great bravery, but said that the
young American airmen lacked expert
ence. But there is an element of luck in
a great many encounters in the air, and
Lieutenant Roosevelt was known to be a
skilled as well as daring aviator. So it
is very probable that he did not lose in
the encounter with Won Hansen on ac-
count of lack of experience, but by rea-
son of some mishap, the nature of which
we shall never know. 1t will be remem-
bered that he went into training in Can
ada as soon as the war broke out, and
that he finished his course under capable
instructors before he joined the An1eri-
can overseas forces. This shoulc ettec-
tually dispose of Won Hausen's claim
that his adversary lacked experience.
However, Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt met a
glorious death on the battlefield while in
the service OF his country. He will be re-
membered by his countrymen and his
grave wll be kept green y the grateful
citizens of France, while the name of the
man who claims to have sent him to his
death will soon forgotten.--Salt Lake

of advancement and fame, for these
things pass; but it is fsomething in the
nature of men with single purpose,
something for which there is no material
price and for which men march away to
death without question. 4. x
The nation lives on. And thus it will
hive on so long as men do not hesitate in
their service. The lesson is Of unity. The
United States must be first in the minds
! of men; and let him pause and gravely
reflect who proposes an iniquity often
sive to the nation. Freedom of utterance
is not the convenient robe of exotic and
sinister conspirings against pure Ameri-
canism. Hospitality is not the open Sc
same OF vengeful malcontents who seek
here fertile field for the seeds of Ii
cense. The crosses that stand row upon
row in Flanders fields are not targets
for the mud of violent men drunk on the
harsh liquor Of savagery. d
Fear not for their deeds are not gray
en- on the stones that mark their last
rest; written in the sands the epitaph
would be as enduring as against the per-
feet tribute, each for his own dear mem
Dry, paid in the minds Of men and twined
in and about the lives of our people for
ever. This is their headstone; not the
brief symbol of death in far land but
love Of America, to see this land glad in
the sight of heaven and moving ever on
ward in the honesty of mankind; cher
ishing its dead who walked freely to
death, an dever prepared to render that
same unflinching service in the Just
cause.
-Fo rthat we understand these things
in the light of your service, sleep well,
thou faithful. 49,.

THE RESPONSIBILITY

A year ago Senator Chamberlain, a
Democrat, said in speech that every
bureau of the war department, charged
with responsibility for the lives of Amer
lean soldiers, was governed by ineffi-
cheney.
President Wilson disliked this charac-
terization of war department activities
by senator of his own party that he Is

Ia severe rebuke to man who had pro-
minently and usefully proved his intelh-
Aence and his patriotism and who na~ :.
comprehension of military problems.
Chamberlain suffered under this re-
Duke, but he has been able, after the sue
cessful termination of fighting, to say in
the senate that he was right, that ne mas
been proved right, and that the ineffi-
cheney, having taken its toll Of life in war
is about to impose its consequences upon
soldiers in peace, upon wounded, disabl-
ed, jobless, unpaid soldiers, and upon sol
diers remaining in the service.
What Mr.. Chamberlain said year ago
was true. We successfully contributed
to the winning of the war in spite of in
efficiency. We put in France the neces-
sary troops. We put them there at the
necessary time. They furnished the need
