Compression Tubes maintain a uniform air
pressure as a result of the absence of seepage
of air and punctures. The greater resiliency
obtained by the tube lessons the shock and
wear to the castings from rocks and other OBJ
structons. The shock is largely absorbed
by the increased thck of the tube

Compression Tubes Prolong Life of the Casing e
Cause the Car To Ride Easier

The tread of the tube being thick and of soft
rubber forms a cushion on top of the air
which gives greater resiency to the tire. 1t
is a well known fact that the heating of tires
is created by friction, but Compression Tubes
are so constructed as to practically eliminate
this trouble.

COTTON MARKET.

Tho cotton market continued It's de-
ciining movement yesterday and sold
generally for less than the 20 cent level
in unsettled trading. Its tone was weak
from the opening. but the sessions lowest
prices were not seen until the last half
hour, when the decline reached a maxi
mum of virtually IS bale. or a cent a
pound In some options. There were
many bearish factors TO influence values.
Liverpool cables were poor. the National
Ginners Association estimated the total
ginned to November ! as 7.2s0, 900 bales,
many reports Of mill curtailment were
received, securities had a heavy tone and
the foreign exchange market was demon
allied. The last named indirectly caused
much of the pressure on the market,
which came from Southern. Japanese
and Wall Street interests.
The opening saw prices II to 40 points
down from Thursdays close. Business
was active at the start. In the first hour
the list dropped TO about Il cent pound
below Thursdays finals before rally
developed. Professional short covering
caused a moderate recovery in the early
part Of the second hour. but the reaction
attracted renewed bear hammer!ng. a
portion of which was probably new short
selling. Liquidation was heavy at times
II being apparent that longs were dis
appointed at the action Of all Wall Street
markets on the result of the election.
In the afternoon reports OF easier spot
markets accelerated the downturn. Liv-
erpool and local commission houses were
prominent sellers during the third and
fourth hours as well as near the close.
The last hour weakness carried Decem-
Der to 1880, off IS points. and January
to 1920. net sS points lower. Fall River
reported another quiet week and sales Of
not more than 10000 pieces Of prints
The market showed comparatively little
betterrnent at the close. Final bids were
60 to 90 points down on active options.
Local spot was quoted so lower at 2o.s5
cents.

Trading Relapses Into Inac-
tivity and Prices Move With
Irregularity Again.

The curb market yesterday again
lapsed into dulness and Irregular price
movements. which characterized the
sessions earlier In the week. The OPEN
ing was mixed and quiet but when
traders offered stocks lower there was
little demand. and during the remainder
Of the session sales were on a down :
ward scale. Losses generally were
szaalI. and in the late afternoon buying
orders reached the market for some In
dustrials, In which small advances were
recorded.
Oils generally closed near the day $
bottom levels on small transactions.
General Asphalt. Carib Syndicate and
Simms Petroleum displayed heavy
tone throughout the session. The Stand
ard Oil group was exceedingly quiet and
there was little change In prices. In the
industrials Automatic Fuel moved to a
new high, while Locomobile changed
hands at a new low record OF 4.
The metal division was mix~a. Eureka
Holly was In good demand. while Tono-
pah Divide fell below 1. Magma Cop

FUEL ECONOMY Urged
ON ALL AUTO OWNERS

The present situation in the motor
fuel field is such that all must bend
every effort to conserve gasoline in
every possible way, not only 9y OBJ
waiting actual waste, but by getting
the utmost ont of the gas that we do
use There is no shortage in most
sections of the country but there
may easily be one if we are not care
ful In our use of this now precious
fluid.
Economy, like charity, begins ct
home. If we can impress on the MIDI
vidual car owner the fact that every
fuel waste must be multiplied by
5 900 600 to arrive at the grand total,
he may see why the spoonful or so OF
gas he wastes per day Is really i'm
portant. If each of the 100000 car
owners in the country wastes half
Pint Of gasoline per week. the total
amounts to 500 600 gallons each week
or 26, 900, 900 gallons per annum That
is why each of us must do his lndl-
vidual best if we are to avoid a short
age Of motor fuel in the near future
The first point Of attack in the cam
paign to cut down fuel consumption
1 is the carburetor. 1t has been sara
4! that the average car owner runs his
! engine on q Iuel Ili8Adit fitaiAS S"AoN
as rich in gasoline as it needs to ne,
| in fact- the engine will give its best
work on a mixture as lean as possible
Practically all modern carburetors
have wide range of adjustment, Sc
that all the air needed may be got by
adjusting the instrument itself. 1t is
a very simple matter to set the carbu-
rotor for more and more air until the
mixture is too thin for operation and
then turn back until the engine IS run
ming smoothly again with maximum
air intake. This question of fuel mix
ture is very important one. since, II
American motorists habitually ran on
a mixture that was twice as rich as
need be. the consumption of gasoline
would be just time as great as the ac-
tual need. In the interest of patrlo-
tism. then. let every car owner make
sure that he is using a mixture just
as lean as is consistent with proper
! operation. Moreover, the engine may
actually run better on the leaner mix
ture, to say nothing of the reduction
of carbon deposits that will ensue.
Having adjusted the carhuretor to
supply the proper fuel mixture. the
entire fuel system ought to be gone
over. Dirt in the pipes, rust in the

MANY WHO DRIVE KNOW
LITTLE ABOUT SAFETY

A Plymouth Rock may or may not
have brain. we has never dlssected
the Uranium Of a Plymouth Rock. Our
suspicion Is that the speckled hen has
no brain If she had thinker, she
wouldn't dodge back in front of Q
speeding motor car after having once
made q safe getaway. She takes a
chance with her life because she does
not know that any ditch is a pretty
safe place for her while the road is the
route to ruin.
But the driver of a motor car DIFF
fers from a Plymouth ROCK hen in
that all human beings are supposed
10 have brains, and therefore are pre-
sumed to know better than to take
foolish chances with death.
There are, however mighty lot
Of fellows driving cars who appear
to know no more about the value Of
their lives and the risks Of the road
than a Plymouth Rock Hen. Their
whole philosophy of driving seems TO
he. Take a, chance. A car Is com
ing toward them. Another machine
inst ahead OF them is going slow. our
fake-a-chance driver doesn wait for
the csr from the opposite direction to
uass. No. he'd rather risk death on
the narrow country road, 50 he speeds
ahead and either slips luckily past
with only an inch or two to spare. or
nc forces somebody into the ditch.
That stunt is a favorite of the take
a-chance boy.
Another game this bird practices
is reflected in the growing list Of grade
crossing casualties. our take-a-
chance friend figures foolishly that
he can beat the fiier across. The flier
/ beats him. and the harmony of the

II doesn't pay, boysi On an aver
age this take-a-chance driving totals
up a saving in a lifetime Of something
like six minutes Only a fool would
trade his last breath for six minutes.

characteristic. But life and limb also
are worth little something.
