Scrape Your Finger Nails
In Soap Before Working

I'm these days Of unasha med pro-
fiteering," says American Motorist.
"the average automobile owner at
tends to many minor repairs and ad-
justments that in other and better
days were entrusted to the garage
or the repair shop. Automobile
work is dirty and a gloved hand
makes a poor job OF turning small
screws and handling tools with ac-
curancy and dispatch. Likewise.
when one toys with transmission
grease a liberal quantity of the ma
terial finds lodgment under the finger
nails with the result that they re-
main in mourning for some time
So the next time you are tempted
to tighten up that wobbly rear wheel
or at work about the rear axle hous-
ing. scrape your finger nails over a
cake Of soap. The soap remains un-
der the finger nails during the work
and not only prevents dirt from en-
tering but assisting during the later
washing operation"

Companies Teach Tire Care.

Most automobile tires are ruined
either by abuse, negligence or ig-
norance, so manufacturers are
spending much time and money TO
educate motorists to the care OF
tires. Under-infiation. sudden brak-
ing. and striking against curbs re-
duce mileage, as well as the un-
avoidable conditions OF rough and
rutty roads.
To educate customers how to get
maximum service from tires. manu-
facturers are conducting extensive
advertising campaigns and publish
ing booklets calling attention to
facts of which the average motor
ist Is ignorant Foremost among
these industrial concerns is the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. OF Akron, which is distribut-
ing through its dealers and service
stations timely conservation buIie-
tins that contain facts pertinent to
greater mileage.

United States Tire Company.
Pneumatic tires have certain very
definite advantages over solids. II is
just as desirable TO have all trucks
operate on pneumatic tires as Il u
to have all passenger cars operate
on pneumatics. The invention OF tho
Pneumatic tire was one Of the great
est steps forward in the development
Of the passenger car, and the pneU-
matte tire for trucks is as great =

trucks. There Is no doubt that ulti-

also because proper steps had not
been taken to identify the person
claiming the machine.
For the garage proprietors it was
contended that they had not been
negligent and that notices were
posted in the garage disclaiming
any liability for theft. The physi-
clan won a complete victory by
the decision in the case. which was
for the difference between the
value OF the automobile and ex-
penses incurred by the physician
in its recovery. and the proceeds of
the sale. which amounted to sI,s1S.

automobile is becoming the means

California has made a decided
jump during 1919 and by doing
so has landed in third place with
her half million cars. In 1918 and
1917 she stood sixth. in 1916 she
was fifth. and in 1915 fourth in the
number of cars owned. She now
has a car for each six of her
people.
The industrial States, like Mas
sachusetts, New York, Rhode ISL
and, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. average about one car
to every sixteen persons. In the
South. where such things as poor
roads and per low capita wealth
are vital factors, we find quite nat
urally the fewest cars relatively.
Take Louisiana, for example, with
its one car to thirty-seven persons
and Mississippi with one car to
forty persons. They need roads
and they need cars to help them
bring up the wealth per capita.
- Our 10000 cars are more than
seven times as many as there are

1t is the desire Of Government to
establish and maintain in the Vir-
gin Islands a training school for
incorrigible girls. At present such
a school on a small scale exists in
St, Jan and it is also planned to en-
large this school for boys. The
question Of finance is also an i'm

it is con- that Protestant Cay
and the bulldl..g thereon could tenn
