THE TIRE GUARANTEE

T HE pneumatic tire qua. 4ntee is
 A mournful attempt to satisfy people who object to buying new tires every time they run over beer bot. tie. This guarantee does not cost any thing until the man who owns it tries to collect a aew casing on the strength of a nine-inch blowout caused by driy- Ing over pickle jar. It then assumes threatening aspect, and has to be modified by paying the list price, with express both ways added.
 When a new tire is bought for cash, It is guaranteed against various forms of disease, any one of which may sap its vitality and cause it to pop open in some unexpected place. It is also understood that the owner is to prop 1t up occasionally with air. It is difficult for four-inch tire to carry $500 pounds of installment-plan automobile and seven robust passengers on 60| pounds of air. without giving way at some vital spot and spelling an entire evening for all concerned. If an ad- justment is not made at once, on thel basis of new casing and tube, thel local dealer will lose one of the best time customers in town.
 The tire guarantee does not protectl the man who allows the instdious sandI blister to crawl into the casing through q stone bruise and eat its way down to the demountable rim without inter- ference. There are two ways to treat the sand blister. One is to have It vul- canized by some leisdrely artisan, and the other is to open it up with jack knife and wait for the grand finale with tight grip on the steering wheel.
 Some tires are guaranteed longer than others. and will last for several years if not driven to excess. The best way to preserve tires is to drive slowly around the block once week and then put the car to sleep on stilts over night. When q catalogue house ire has been run 15000 miles withou;

 A number of Polish officers with whom the correspondent talked said they were forced to admit the French saved the day, but the weakness of their officers was explained by the fact that in former years Poles had not been permitted to hold commissions in the army. either in Russian, German or Austrian Poland, atsd that the time had been too short to develop a staff of highly trained officers.

 The best kind of tire guarantee is a mixture of plain mule sense along with the ability to dodge between the three -cornereG rocks which strew the highway.

Prompt Aid Said to Have Pre- vented Triumph of the BoI-

POLES SHORT 6F OFFICERS
Russian Army Superior as an Effec- tive Fighting Machine-Polish Off cers Admit That the French
 Saved the Day

PoSen, Poland-An official of the French military mission in Poland has told the Associated Press correspon- dent that the Polish army would have been conquered by the Bolshevik ar mics of Russia if the French had not supported the Poles. This, notwith- standing the fact that the Poles beat back the Russian drive on Warsaw.
 The French official based his state ment upon his belief that the Russian army was superior to the Polish army as an effective fighting machine. with the exception of the German-trained troops of Posen.
 The Frenchman said he believed the Russian organization has been, and still is, underestimated and because of this tendency to belittle the Russian armies the menace to Polands exist ence, if not to all western Europe, re- mains imminent and real.
 Russ Army Not Rabbie.
 The official said some Russian units were poorly equipped, but it was not true the army was "a barefoot rab- ble." He was convinced the majority of the Russian divisions were "well-or- ganized units of good fighting men, much better otficered than the Poles"
 The Poles had 25,000 officers, but only 5000 of them ever went to the front, although they were sorely need ed there he said. There was evidence that certain Polish companies had fought without officers, he asserted and that during the retreat these were without commanders.
 An American artillery officer who had spent a year in Russia and had been under fire at the Polish front told the correspondent he had seen the Poles "pIant their artillery in the most ridiculous places, on the exposed sides of hills and right in the open when they could have readily concealed it and made it effective"
 4 neutral aviator who had flown over the front several times when Dat ties" were said to be in progress, said what he saw of the fighting was tive armies keeping about three hours apart, the Poles retreating when the Russians advanced. and the Russians running when the Po'es turned and ad- vanced."

ounces. During the first six months
Of 1917 the total production amounted
