Why does the Church grant dispen-
sation for pay?
The Church does not grant dispensa-
tons for pay. Dispensations are
granted for good and sufficient rea-
sons. If there be reason to grant a
dispensati6n the Church will grant it
even though the persons may not be
able to make the usual offering. The
Church imposes tax which is in the
nature of an aims and which does not
accrue to the benefit of any individ
ual but goes to some diocesan char
tiles.

Examine Castings
After a Puncture,
Say Tire Experts

Trouble and annoyance is saved
the motorist if he will examine his
casing after a puncture, before in
serting a new tube. A nail, frag-
ment of glass. or rough and broken
fabric surface, remaining over from
the first puncture, will often quickly
ruin a new tube.
After a careful inspection Of the
casing, the tube should be slightly
inflated before being inserted. in
order to prevent its being twisted
according to Miller tire and tube
experts. Where the tube is inserted
flat, there is danger that due to a
twisted condition, it will tear under
high air pressure.
Another good rule is never to
place the tube on the ground. A
porous condition is often a direct
result of the dirt and sand which
adheres to the tube which has been
laid on the road beside the car.
A fourth principle of tube conser-
walton is to lightly dust the inside
of the casing with soapstone or tale.
This prevents chatting and sticking
of tube and casing. Excessive use
of either tale or soapstone causes
tube blisters

As the far end of the bridge is

attention of the party, and in the
