EXAMINE TIRES
BEFORETAK|NC
! LONG ROAD TRIP
Bruised Tires Should Be
Repaired Before Real
Trouble Comes-Fol-
lows Stone Bruise.

One of the most mysterious
things that happen to pneumatic
tires is the blowout that follows a
stone bruise, says the B. F. Good
rich Rubber company.
= ire may sometimes blow up"
while standing still. Likewise it
may give way while running over a
CLASSY smooth pavement. In either
case the owner curses the tire, its
maker and the man who sold it to
him.
Very few people who ride on
pneumatic tires understand their
qualities and limitations. Not one
person in a hundred takes into con-
sideration the terrific strain put
upon tires when travelling at high
speeds over ordinary roads. 1t is
hard to visulize the terrific impact
when a tire strikes 4 stone the size
Of an egg imbedded in the road
while going at speed\of IS miles
an hour.
At the time such a blow is struck
possibly only half a dozen threads
in one or two of the powerful plies
of fabric are broken. These loose
threads At once become a source of
trouble. The breaking of one layer
Of fabric permits the threads to
chafe each other, setting up an in
ternal friction that causes further
disintegration. The other plies soon
break down and the blowout comes,
Usually At = time when circum-
stances point to no apparent cause.
Tires should be inspected by a
good repair man periodically. A
bruised tire can be successfully re-
paired by removing the damaged
fabric and rubber and revulcanizing.
Motorists, themselves, should &C.
easionally examine the inside OF the
casing to see if the fabric is rup-
tured. This should always be done
before an extended trip.

Of the agreement made when the
bullets were falling thick and fast
at St. Mihiel.
1t was in September, 1918, when
Top Sergeant Joe Mulhare and Ser
geant Grey met in the height of bat
tie. Both were serving with Battery
c, 102nd regiment. They talked of
home while the dangers grew about
them, and said that if they ever
reached home they would meet and
have a "blow out" The agreement
was drawn this way:
Sunday, September IS, 1918, On
the Firing Line.--If alive, we will
meet in front of the transfer station
at Lawrence, Mass, in the good old

VILLA CUNNING
FUSED TO THWART
HIS PURSUERS
Method Almost Identical With
That Used by Covey Of
Quail to Escape the :
Hunter.

Juarez, Aug. l6-Francisco Villas
method Of evading pursuit by Mex
lean government troops is almost
identical with that used by q covey
Of quail to escape the hunter. Even
the detail of protecting coloring has
been applied by Villa for his men
always wearing brown cotton cloth
ing which blends with the desert
landscape and dust clouds through
which they travel in campaign.
Hunters know that the quail in
stinct directs it to scatter when dan
ger approaches, seek cover in the
nearby landscape. Villa and his
rebel bands do the same thing when
superior federal column ap-
prosches.
Often Villas band will number
1000 men under his chiefs, Angeles,
Lopez, Diaz and Garcia. They
make column which coils across
the plains like a giant snake and
leaves a great dust cloud in its wake.
But let General Castro's govern
ment troops approach with artillery,
machine guns and cavalry mounted
on former American army horses
and the column will break up into
little bands of 100 under petty chiefs,
will disappear in some mountain
canyons and go into hiding until the
federals pass.
Once the danger of attack is
ended, the column reassembles,
occupies some town in its path
and again disappears with its loot.
Villas men have been known to
hitch their horses to plows in the
fields of the irrigated districts and
be industriously blowing when the
federal scouts appeared. They have
learned various tricks of deception
during the years of evading the fed
erals and even drive a herd of
burros with them so they may trans
form themselves in to woodvenders
on occasion.
