would have insured inspection Of all
camps.
Pledges Set Precedent
The definite written pledges which
the American commissioners obtained
from the German mcmbcrs as to the
rights OF war prisoners are regarded
by officials as the most advanced and
humane in diplomatic history. Among
the striking provisions are several
which appeared TO be directed at brutal
practices charged to German authori
ties IN the conduct Of certain camps
and which aroused violent protests in
Allied countries and the United States.
One Of the lSl articles touching on
this phase Of the camp situation saws:
Dogs shall not be used as guards in
the interior Of prison camps nor in
guarding working or exercise detach-
ments, unless they are in leash or Sc
curely muzzled. Cnmu2zled dogs shall
under no circumstances be used in
tracking down escaped prisoners Of

Food Ration Provided
AS to the treatment Of prisoners
generally standards for the lnainten-
ance of troops of each country were
set as those applying to CAMPS. The
agreement covered even the details as
to how barracks were to be furnished
and the amount OF food. calculated in
calorles, to be given the men daily in
accordance with the labor tnev we're
physically able to perform. Special
consideration was demanded for the
sick and wounded. Collective punish
ment growing out of the misconduct
Of individual prisoners was prohibited.
and in every respect the document i'm
posed regulations which were intended
to eliminate the prison camp horrors
charged against the Germans.

A set OF interesting figures has
just been complied by the Michelin
Tire Co.. showing the varying dia-
meters OF inner tubes Of the same
branded size The figures have
just been received by william
Nichols, Michelin dealer and pro-
prietor Of the Twentieth Century
garage.
Most motorists probably believe
that all inner tubes made for a
certain size OF tire are of the same
length and diameter, but this is not
the case.
or u leading makes Of inner
tubes recently measured in the
Michelin laboratories, no two were
alike in diameter, the difference
between the smallest and the
largest being as much as Is per-
cent.
The Michelin tube, it is said. has
a much larger diameter than the
average of other tubes. Michelin
tubes are made on circular cores 10
the exact shape and size Of the in
side Of the casing. Other tubes arc
made on straight cores and are
forced into circular shape by in
hatiOn inside the casing.
The Michelin Tire Co. offers to
send a report about tube measure
ments 10 the interested motorists.

MOTOR THIEVES
REPORTED BUSY
Government Urges Car Owners
to Use Every PreCautiOn
to Safeguard Cars.
BY LOUIS LUDLOW.

WASHINGTON. July 2s-Re-
ports received by government offices
indicate that there is greater ac-
tivity among motor car thieves in
various sections or the country than
ever before. An authority on the
subject said:
This IS the particular season OF
the year when car stealing is at it's
height and owners will do well TO
observe every precaution. II they
would display a small fraction Of
the ingenuity shown by the crooks
there would be a very material re-
duction OF the evil. It is practically
impossible 20 prevent stealing en-
tirely. but there is ~ gainsaying the
fact that drivers md owners care
lessness makes 1t altogether too
easy for even amateurs to success
fully engage in car stealing.
Altogether too few OF the cars
stolen are recovered. Figures for
some OF the larger cities for last
year are as follows: Boston. SIS
stolen and 607 recovered: Chicago.
2.s11 stolen and 1854 recovered:
Cincipnati. 34s stolen md POI re-
covered; Cleveland. 2.O76 stolen and
1.1S6 recovered: San Francisco, l.
192 stolen and 1852 recovered; De-
troit. 1,547 stolen and Lao re-
covered.
Cars Should BE Guarded.
Cars should never be left with
ont some locking device or thief
alarm set so that any attempt TO
steal the car will be Immediately
recognized by the police. Experience
also shows that IL is not sufficient
10 leave a boy in charge Of the car.
for the owners instructions to the
boy may be overheard by some one
who can pass himself off as the own
CT II he happens 10 be OF the same
build and description. Spare tires al
so should be locked, as so=e make
a speciality OF stealing these and
even tires in use. Two brand new
rear wheels OF a car, leaving II
standing on the rims in front OF a
lighted theater
Unfortunately all policemen are
not wise to the fact that a car
humping along with a spike locked
around the tire is an evidence that
the car is being stolen and others
are too easily convinced that the
owner has lost the key. One po-
liceman even helped a thief saw off
such a device. believing him TO be
the owner.
The foreign demand for cars is
being taken advantage Of by thieves
who are doing a very nice export

Stand Washing.

A cloth of plain weave shows soil
quickly, but if it is firmly woven 1t
stands rubbing well and the dirt Is
easily removed by washing. On the
other hand, loosely woven plain cloth
must not be rubbed hard and must be
carefully handled in drying so that
the threads will not be pulled out OF
place.
A twilled cloth does not show soil as
readily as plain, but it seems to hold
the dirt more tenaciously. Materials
of satin weaves do not stand friction
as well as those of plain weave.
Fancy, part gauze and part solid
goods of the so-called leno weave not
only stand very little friction, but
when washed must be carefully pulled
and stretched while drying to have the
goods keep its original shape and size.
Loosely woven materials of all kinds
have greater absorption powers than
the closely woven varieties; this means
less bluing for the loosely woven goods
These are suggestions made by home
economics experts in the department
of agriculture. f;

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.)
More hog-cholera serum was manu-.
featured last year than in any previous
year, despite decrease in the amount
OF hog cholera. The increased demand
for hog-cholera serum is ascribed tc
the greater value of hogs. with the
consequent greater loss when one dies,
and to the fact that hog raisers are be
coming more appreciative Of the value
of using serum manufactured under
federal supervision.
Department Of agriculture officials
warn hog raisers against the indis.
criminate use of medicines or proprie-
tary preparations other than serums,
as experience has shown that nothing
except serum, properly prepared and
administered, is effective. Medicines
other than serums, according to de-
partment officials, are worse than use
less, because they not only fail to cure
Or prevent disease, but allow the loss
Of the animals they are advertised to
save, thus taking money from the
farmer and meat from the nations
supply.
Antitoxins, serums, and other biolOg-
ical products for the treatment of do
nestle animals must be prepared in es.

issued by the secretary of agriculture
before they may be marketed legally
In interstate trade. Products of H.
censed establishments are prepared
under the supervision Of trained veter-
lnarians and their assistants of the
bureau OF animal industry Of the de-
partment. Sixty-eight veterinarians,
In addition to forty-one inspectors and
clerks, are now engaged in this work
| and are located in eleven states.
| Federal regulations require that all
animals used in the preparation or
testing of hog-cholera serum and
hog-cholera virus, both of which are
used in the treatment Of hogs in the
| prevention of hog cholera, be procured
1irect from farms and not transported
where they might be exposed to con-
| tagious diseases. AS an additional
| safeguard all animals must not only
be inspected by bureau veterinarians
at the time they are presented for adj
| mission to licensed establishments. but
Zach animal is carefully inspected at
the time of incubation as well as i'm
nediately before bleeding for the pro-
| 1uction of either virus or serum.
Veterinary biological products, after
