Tt Was Catching.

A kindergarten teacher tells the fol-
lowing story of one of her little pupils.
The rules require that when child
reports illness in the family, the teach
er shall find out whether the Illness
is contagious or not, and when one Of
the little boys reported that his
mamma was sick" he was sent hone
to find out the nature of the Illness.
He soon returned with the informa-
ton: Mamma says it amt catch
ing"
THAT won't do" replied the teach
err. "You must go home and find out,
and then come and tell me just what
the matter is with your mamma. Pret-
ty soon the boy came back and said:
Teacher, it's all right. Mamma says
it's boy, and it amt catching"

Studebaker Owners In
Blizzard 'sDriveaway''
Nino Of Them Mako Journey
From Detroit Through
Bad Conditions

A remarkable feat Of nine Stude-
baker owners was in driving their cars
from Detroit to New York through tho
blizzard. And every one Of them,
Studebakers Of all types, open and
closed, came through with tenders un-
dented and bodies unscratched.
These nine New Workers., Stude-
baker owners, rathere than suffer the
delay necessitated by the present
determined to drive their cars home
and they did. The convoy left Detroit
on Thursday afternoon, February IL,
and arrived in New York on Monday
night, the, 10th.
During the most Of tho trip the mer-
curry hovcred around zero, but the
Studebakers ploughed right along. All
sorts of weather conditions prevailed
at different stages of the journey. In
some places the roads were partly
cleared, in others the cars had to break
their own trail through snow from six
inches to two feet deep.
While crossing the Alleghenies In
Pennsylvania the Studebakers struck
stretch of state road that had been
cleared by snow ploughs sufficiently
for two cars to run abreast. There
the snow was piled so high that 1t
overlapped the cars and formed q
sunken way which, together with the
slope of the mountains, allowed the
Studebakers to coast for fourteen
miles at rate Of speed Of from
twenty-five to thirty miles an hour.
The Studebaker owners had some
tale to tell when they reached New

How to Put on Chains
So as to Save Tire Wear

How do you apply your tire chains
This question Is perhaps more i'm
portant this winter than ever before
in history because of the unprece-
dented number Of motorists utilizing
their cars in the cold months and be-
cause Of the severity of the weather
says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Com
pany.
Dumping along In ice and dirt ruts
and pounding against the pavement
with chain equipped tires is necessity
from a safety and traction standpoint,
but you can quickly ruin a good set
Of tires by improper application Of
chains. Thousands Of tires will be un-
duly punished this winter because OF
carelessness.
Chains should be left loose enough
so that every time the wheel turns
the cross chains will not strike the
same spot in the tire. The rigid, tight
adjustment tears chunks of rubber
from the tire tread. The loose appiica-
tion distributes the chains blows over
section of the tire and does not con-
fine them to one spot.
It is a question Of wearing out either
your tires or the steel Of your chains.
Loose chains wear out the steel-tight
chains destroy the tire.
