LENGTHENS TIRES LIFE.
Coat of Liquid Rubber Also Lends
Attractive Appearance.

Painting the tires with a coating
of liquid rubber, in which whitening
has been added. not only gives the
shoes an attractive appearance. but
1t also helps to preserve them. es
pecially in the hot summer time
There are a number of tire painting
compounds on the market. and they
are intended to fill in small cuts and
scratches. as well as to add to the
appearance OF the shoe. In sealing
over cuts and bruises the preparation
further tends to keep moisture from
working itself into the fabric.
For the benefit of the motorist who
likes to do his own tinkering, in so
far as is possible. it might be added
that satisfactory compound 70"
coating both the inside and the out
side of the shoes can be made by
stirring five pounds of whitening into
a quart of gasoline, and after a thor
ough mixing has been effected, add
ing a quart of rubber cement. The
cold patch cement sold by almost
every tire company will do. This
latter is the rubber part of the mix
ture Once thoroughly mixed. the
compound is applied with a brush
like any other paint. and. due. to the
elasticity impaired by the rubber &C.
ment. the paint will not crack after
being applied to the shoe.

carbon. is slower of combustion when
cold and causes harder starting of a
motor. High gravity fuel gives a
more powerful. quicker blow at the
beginning of power stroke of piston.
but this power dies considerably be-
fore the end of the stroke. The fuel
of low gravity. although of not as
violent force at the beginning of
power stroke. continues more even
pressure for a longer proportion of
the stroke. With the proper carbu-
rotor adjustment, low gravity fuel is
better for slow or medium speeds. and
high gravity for higher speeds where
power is not the main requisite.

may be due to the following magnetic
troubles: \ short circuit, which may
exist unnoticed on low speed; loose

The Blue and the Khaki.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
There's a touch of pathos in the re-
port that the forthcoming gathering
of the G. A. r. in Columbus in Septem-
Der may be the last large gathering
the old vets will ever be able to hold.
iAge and the infirmities that come with
lit have made travelling and the taxing
Experiences of the gathering too much
for the men who wore the blue with
Grant, Sherman, Thomas and the 9TH
ers in the days Of 81. Each year death
takes a fearful toll of their numbers,
another large detachment is incapaci-
tated for travel and they are forced
by prudence to husband their little
store of strength. The vanishing line
of blue is the poetic designation the
!G. A. r. has had for many years and
| the line this year will be the smallest
! in nossible numbers of any of their
gatherings. -- ..-
But the gathering this year will
have features, none Of the preceding
encampments have been able to show.
While the old vets will lean heavily
on their STATS or rest in comfortable
seats and watch. their successors in
service will seize the banners and
| take up their battles. The doughboys
from the American expeditionary
force, back from France, will be in the
| line for their nrSt parade ana national
showing. To the boys who hail from
| France and Italy the old vets may
| feel safe in intrusting their banners.
They come from patriotic stock, they
have made their contribution in The
greatest of wars. they are heroic of
mind, vigorous of body. patriotic and
loyal and they will carry on" To the
khaki may safely be handed over the
glorious traditions Of the vanishing
line of blue. The old vets may gaze
on the doughboys and see the military
spirit of 81, see themselves, as it
were, with youth renewed and limbs
| once more strong, march to the music
of the day, when they went forth to
battle.

Recovering From War.
THE debris of the war cataclysm
that rocked civilization and catapult-
| ed prices to the highest plane ever
known. is steadily settling through
the influence of natural forces. The
process is orderly and certain. 1t is
not confined to this community or
to this nation. but is world wide. The
i existing plane of values is certain to
be lowered until it reaches proper
balance and will not be finally ac-
complished in month or year, but
will take many years.
THE people of every civilized ma
| ton will have their share of distre SIS
| in this process of readjustment-thos
Of the United States probably the
least of all. because our natural re-
sources are greatest of all.
The business situation is acute at
| this time, while the adjustment to the
shock of restricted credits applied by
the federal reserve banks and the eff
| feet Of the railroad strike are being
made. Within a few months this
extreme pressure will have been re-
moved, but the orderly process of
defation of war values will move
| steadily to an equilibrium.

shown lack of confidence. They have
worried and talked, instead of work

Happy Ascension Island.
I'm the Detroit News,

From the Detroit news.
The Island of Ascension, in the At
lantic, belonging to Great Britain, is
of volcanic formation. eight miles by
six in size, and has a population of
about $50. 1t was uninhabited until the
confinement of Napoleon at st. Helena,
when it was occupied by a small
British force. 1t is $50 miles north
of ST. Helena. Vast numbers of tur-
ties are found on the shores, and it
serves as a depot and watering place
for ships. .....-
Ascension is governed by a captain
appointed by the British admiralty
There is no private property in land,
no rents, no taxes and no use for
money. The hocks and herds are
public property. and the meat is is
sued as rations. So are the vegeta-
bles grown on the farms. When an
island fisherman makes a catch he
brings it to the guardroom, where it
is issued by the sergeant major. Prac-
tically the entire population are SAIL
ors, and they work at most of the
common trades. The muleteer is a
jack tar; so are the gardeners, the
grooms, the masons, carpenters and
plumbers. Even the island trapper,
who gets rewards for the tails Of rats,
lis a sailor.
The climate is wellnight perfect,
and anything can be grown.

CAN'T BE did"

The Republican party wants Con-
gress "to consider the most effective
means to end lynching." The most
effective means to end this evil is for
the Republican party to stop its
quadrennial debauch with negro del
egates and its continual pampering
of the negro in politics. The next
best means perhaps is the military
and this the Republican party cam
not be trusted to use without produc-
ing worse evils than it shppresses.
We in Kentucky know how Governor
Stanley prevented one lynching and
how Governor Morrow prevented
another, and the difference brought
unnecessary shame and sorrow up
on us.

Training Little Citizens


BY Carolyn Sherwin Bailey, author
Of "Tell Me Another Story" "What
to do for Uncle SAM" wonder
Stories, Etc"
Once upon time there was a boy
who wanted, oh, very much he want
ed, to buy a bag of new, smooth,
colored marbles. SO he went with
ten cents to the toy shop and hold
ing out his money said, "Ten cents
worth of marbles, if you please"
But the boy had only ten cents,
and he was very much surprised.
"whyq" he asked, care ten-cent bags
of marbles twenty-five cents"
In second the toy man could tel
him. "The trains that bring the stone
from the quarries are not running
he said. II must charge more fol-
what marbles have"
Now the boy wanted, oh, very
much he wanted, those marbles, Sc
what did he do but go to the engi-
neer of the train and ask him why
he was not running his engine.
In second the engineer could tel
him. "There is no coal being mined.
he said, "and how can run a freigh
train without coal for my engine9'
But the boy wanted, oh, very mucl
he wanted, new bag of marbles, 81
he went to the coal miner and asked
him why he was not at work.
At once the coal miner could tel
him. "The grocer asks so much TO
his eggs and flour" said the Goa

miner, 'that I am going to give up
mining and work at trade in which
I can earn more"
So the boy saw his bag Of marbles
fade farther and farther away, but
still he wanted it ever so much, be-
cause marbles and boys have been
together for years and years. SO,
what did the boy do but go to the
farmer and ask him why his eggs
and wheat cost 50 much.
In a few words, the farmer could
tell. 81 cannot get anyone to help
me-" he said. So the boy knew that
work was what was lacking and what
was making his marbles cost so
much. -
"Let me work for you," said the
boy. He was fine, strong boy and
he took off his coat and went to
work feeding the hens and gathering
eggs, packing them into crates and
taking them to the grocer He helped
with the grain harvesting, too, and
soon the grocer's shelves were so full
that he needed to sell food, and he
charged less for eggs and flour.
The coal miner really wanted to
keep TO his own trade and now he
could with the grocer's help, for food
was cheaper, and he had all he need
ed. You could hear the ring of his
pick all day long and coal began to
move to the freight yards. Then the
freight trains began to move, loaded
with all the necessary things of life
and things such as marbles for hap
piness and play.
So the 10y was able to buy his bag
| of marbles at last, and he also hac

UNLUCKY BILLY GREEN

used to think that Billy Green was
luckier than me.
He hasn't any mother watchin' over
him to see
If his neck an ears are dirty, an
there's no one seems to care
If his shoes are nice an shiny or he
ever combs his hair.
He's an orphan, so they tell me, an
with all l have to do,
l used to think that maybe I should
like to be one, too.
He wears the same old short-waist
an his shoes are full Of holes,
An they're bigger than they should
be, an they haven't any soles.
An his underwear's not fussy, like
the kind I have to wear,
He's got safety pins for buttons, an
when he goes anywhere
No one calls him in to wash him, oh
I've often wished to be
An orphan just like Billy with no one
to poster me.
But I'm glad Pm not an orphan, an
1 found it out today,
When Billy's leg got twisted in a
game we fellows play,
An hurt him something awful, an
nobody came to see,
AM he didn't have a mother who
wcnld take him on her knee
An fix Elm an kiss him, so I took him
in to mine.
An he said: "Ot., Bud, you're lIcky!
Amt your mother just divineg"
Now I'm never goin' to whimper when
my mother scrubs my neck
An scolds me just little cox my
clothing is a wreck;
I'll do just as she tells me, an III
stand for being clean
I don't want to be an orphan any
more like Billy Green.
Coz altho nobody scolds him when
his face is smeared with dirt,
He hasn't any mother he can go to
when he's hurt.

saved some of the wages that he
had received from the farmer. He
had found out a wonder, too; that
the way to get a thing one wants is
to work for it.
