1000 Miles Added to Life
Of Average Auto Tire

What would you pay to add 1000
miles to the life of each Of your
tires? This question came up re-
Gently in a great rubber factory in
Akron, Ohio.
Experts had found and proved by
exhaustive tests that a certain
change would add 1900 miles per
tire. But 1T involved the eIpendi-
ture of a fortune-s1. .33s,ooo. But
the change was made notwithstsnd-

Again and again such questions
have come up, according to Miller
tire men, and the decision has al

count even though they cost $4,000

Each morning. just before the
first bell rings, a bus stops in front
of the children's homes, picks them

classes are out, the bus takes them
back to their homes again.
The buses serve a double pur-
pose. They not only save the chill
dren from making the long firing
walks but they permit the substi-
tuition of one centralized school, as
good as any school in the towns or
cities, for several of the old one

WOOD HAS VARIED
CIVIL EXPERIENCE
TESTED AND PROVED IN HAN.
pLIko GREAT BUSINESS
PRoBlEMs.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.


From time to time people ask,
"What has been the administrative
and business experience Of Leonard
Wood7 What has been his experience
with men outside Of the army? What
does he know about conditions In the
and in our overseas possessions? Has
he any thorough knowledge of foreign
affairs and Of our foreign relations?"
The administrative qualities Of
Leonard Wood have been tested and
proved. No American living has been
tried more thoroughly than he In COM
plex fields Of constructive civil work,
administrative work of the highest
order which carried with it the neces-
sity for the exercise of keen businesG
acumen.
The republic of Cuba, built upon
f1rm democratic foundations. is mon-
ument to the administrative ability Of
Leonard Wood. In the Philippines Is
to be found another monument to his
craftsmanship.
Leonard Wood graduated in medi.
cine from Harvard University In 1884
and served for more than year In
one of the great hospitals. later to
take charge Of the charity depart
ments In section Of the city Of Bos-
ton where the poor lived.
Not long after the completion Of
Woods work In Boston he became an
assistant surgeon In the army, coming
into contact with the western plains
man, the miner, the people generally.
and giving much Of his time to the
work Of assisting the Indians and to
a study Of the problems of Irrigation
and reclamation.
Then for Leonard Wood there came
four years in California. He covered
the state many times in pursuance Of
his duties and extended his field ns
Occasion required into the states Of
the Northwest: Thep for two years he
was III service IN the South, having
headquarters in Georgia.
From the South Leonard Wood went
to the city OF Washington, where his
work brought him into daily contact
with Grover Cleveland. Then he had
the same intimate relations with Will
liam Mckinley and the men of his
time.
Then came the Spanish war and the
active campaign In Cuba as the COL
onel of the regiment Of rough riders
Of which Theodore Roosevelt was the
lieutenant colonel.
. At the close of the Spanish war
Leonard Woods supreme administra-
tive duties began. He was made the
governor Of the city Of Santiago and
q few weeks later Of the entire east
ern half Of Cuba. "'
Under Wood profiteering was abol-
ished, industry was built up. agricul-

der tribulations which arose from
the. fact that the people were i'm
poverished to the point Of starva-
tion and had been dying by thousands
for the lack Of the things which Wood
quickly provided.
Then there came the rehabilitation
