WATCH THE CURB

Here is a little story-a true one
about professor in science at Yale
and his first automobile, a handsome
sedan equipped with everything
fancy, including a set OF cord tires.
The professor had lot OF fun
learning to drive, and got by without
a penny expense until. after 700
miles travel he found that the front
tire on the right side OF the car was
going to pieces. He took the worn
tire OFF and replaced 1t with a new
shoe, only to find that II broke down
in the same way in less than a thou
sand miles. Then he talked 1t over
with the tire dealer. who promptly
asked him whether in driving up to
"a curb he was in the habit OF letting
the tire Craze along the curb. Re-
ceiving an affirmative answer the
tire man explained that such treat
ment would ruin any tire.
Every time driver allows his
tire to scrape along a curb, he
scrapes several dollars in wear OF
the tire" says the United States Tire
Company. THE grinding causes the
rubber covering to break away from
the carcass and at times does harm
to the carcass ITSELF"

OUR RED CROSS NURSE

We realize the importance o
health and sickness as factors in tn
welfare of our nation as never be
fore.
Every year three out of each on
hundred people in the United State
are victims of serious sickness.
One out of every ten dies of tuber
culosis in the prime Of life.
One out of every eight babies dies
under one year of age with conta.
gious disease besides countless mum.
bers who suffer permanent injury.
Fourteen out of every one hun
dred babies die under one year of
age because Of the ignorance of
mothers.
Half of these deaths could have
been prevented If the knowledge and
resources we now possess were util-
lied. 1t is estimated that if illness
in the United States could be re-
duced one third nearly five hundred
thousand people could be saved each
year.
Sickness is a. radiatiug center of
