AVERAGE MOTORIST IS
CARELESS ABOUT Tires

The average motorist is inclined to
pay entirely too little attention to his
tire equipment, in the opinion of l.. A,
Mention, local Fircstone dealer. This
is due, he thinks largely to the conf
dence inspired by the many refine-
ments of manufacture and tho higher
quality of the product generally in
recent years.
Every motorist should give his tires
the same frequent Inspection and at
tention which he gives to the rest of
the car says Mr. Mentcn. There
are many things to be considered in
this connection, In the first place the
selection of tires is often the cause ssf
subsequent difficulties. The correct
application of tires whether demount-
able or dntachahle or both-w whether
straight side or clincher- should also.
be studied.
Sometimes an inner tube is partly
ruined from deterioration before il
even gets out on the road. An un
necessary exposure to oil and greases,
the au-too-conmon overloading of
machine or tire, jamming on brakes,
disregard Of cuts and bruises-th
are only few of the mistakes of
which many of us are heedlessly
guilty"

MOTOR TRUCKS USEFUL.
FOR COAL CONVEYORS

Motor trucks are taxing the place of
expensive conveyor machinery in the
coal yard Of the St. Bernard Mining
Company, in Nashville, Tenn, nnd
are performing their regular functions
as trucks, as well.
To avoid the installation of costly
conveying machinery that would be
idle about eleven months in the year,
the St Bernard company built a coal
storage shed of unique design. Close
under the roof OF the structure are
three trestIes, connecting with high
ground in the rear; and this high
ground is reached by an inclined road
way leading from the yard level.
In practice, the company's four
White trucks, all of which are equip
ped with dumping bodies, are loaded
at the coal chutes in the yard and
run up the inclined roadway and out
upon the TRUSTEES in the shed. Then
their loads are dumped, dropping be-
tween the tracks OF the trestle and
the tracks are run back to the chutes
to repeat the operation. The shed.
(which holds $50 carloads of coal,
can be filled i'm less than 80 days.
When not engaged in filling the
storage shed, the trucks are busy with
the ordinary hauling work involved
in the retail coal business.

WHAT TO DO WHEN
STORAGE BATTERY Is
RUNNING LOW

The annoyance of having the stor-
age battery of ones car run down,
putting lights and starter out of COM
mission and damaging the battery
itself, can be avoided If the motorist
will give his battery the periodical
attention it demands Of he doesn't
at least he should be able to diagnose
his trouble when it occurs. Yet the
ounce of prevention is better, for
otherwise the life of the battery is
materially shortened.
'If your lights are dim, you may
be pretty sure your battery is running
down" said Mrs. Lloyd of the Pendle-
ton Prest.O-Lite service station yester-
day In answer to a question. Prob
amly the reason is that you have not
been running the engine enough to
keep the battery charged. Several
other things may happen. The gem
orator may not be charging. or there
may b. wire short -circuited. If the
battery has run down because the car
has been laid up or scarcely used, then
the remedy is TO run the engine ana
charge the battery that way. If run
ing the engine does not charge the
battery. then the service station man
should look for the trouble"
What ever the defect. is should be
found and repaired. Delay always re-
suits in damage 70 the battery ana
consequent expensive repair bills.
Every motorist should have a hy-
drometer: just for emergency for be
should depend on his service station

TOXIC TO HAVE MARKETS.


TOXIC. June 12.-Fifty more pub
lie markets to sell food and other ne
cessities will be established here and
in the suburbs by the Toxic prefec-
ture, so similar markets opened last
year to adjust the price of commodi-
ties having shown satisfactory re-
suits.
A general slum in prices of stocks
occurred today on the Toxic exchange.
The drop was most noticeable in the
cotton spinning companies. Prices of
rice and silk also declined. due, it is
believed, to the tightness of the money
market. For the past week prices of
various rice have had an average de-
cline of six percent.

MOLASSES MAY Be USED

Thirsty souls ana economists who
lharo been wondering what will become

went into the manufacture of rum, re-
marks writer in the current number

alcohol made from the latter. Com
tinuing, the writer sets forth:
American Motorists not long ago
called attent%on to the possibilities Of
tered by the use of alcohol as fuel for
internal-combusti engines. 4 few
years ago the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. through its archaeological
branch, made a series of elaborate
tests OF the relative value of gasoline
and alcohol as power producers. The
most important result of the investl-
gatlons are contained in the evidence
that well-designed Internal combustion
motors using alcohol or gasoline will
consume about an equal volume of
fuSl per unit OF power. The average
OF the mjnimum consumption values
give . like figure of $40 or pint per
hour per break horsepower from gaso-
line as well as for alcohol. In this
comparison it is OF decided interest
that the thermal value Of alcohol is
only 6-l0 that of gasoline-a fact
which explains the persistence of the
eNperimeRters better than anything
else
Heretofore the obstacles in the way
of universal adoption Of alcohol as
motor fuel lay in the difficulty of
finding a raw material that could be

WAR MADE ON HERoNs

HELENA. Mont. June 12.-The
state game warden is about to declare
war on herons in the Yellowstone
river. which are devouring fish at an
alarming rate. There is one island
alone at the mouth of Bridge creek
on which, it is estimated, 1000 of
these birds have made their nests.
They are said to eat many thousand
tons of fish month and will soon
strip the river and creek, 1t is feared.
The birds kill more fish than they
eat, sportsnen say, FOR their method
is to stab trout with their bills in the
rifles, and many escape only to die,

STORY OF OLD TUBE
RANKS WITH FISHIEST

An auto tire story which ranks with
the "fishiest'' fish stories ever told bur
which nevertheless is vUuched for by
reliable persons comes from San Fran
cisco as an aftermath of the automo-
bile show held there a short time ago.
At the show was exhibited a 1900
model Winton which was still capable
Of populsion under its own power in
spite Of the fact that it, was nearly ono
enough to vote The automobile
aroused considerable comment but not
nearly so much, however, as the own
org statontcnt that tho Diamond single
tube tire on the left front wheel was
part Of tho original equipment and had
never been dcflated.
The owner asserted, and brought
facts to prove his point, that the tire
still had the Cleveland air 10 it which
was pumped in it at the Wiuton fac
tory in 1900. During tho inte0vening
years the air had been held captive.
The valve stem was thickly covered
with rust and gave conclusie proof
that it had not been removed for
years
The other three tires on the car
we're of the same old single tube type
but were not of the original equip
ment. They had been put on several
years later. but for some reason failed
to show the enduring qualities of the
older tire.
G. 6. Waterman, the owner. bought
the car from Alexander Winton at
Cleveland In 1901 and it has been in
the possession Of his family ever
since. Mr.. Waterman is the Winion

TIRE BUILDERS KEEP

GETS DATA ON MILK COST
Department Of Agriculture Says Re.
placing Bottles 10 an lmpor.
tant Item.

Washington.-Replacing lost milk
bottles adds to the price Of milk paid
by city consumers, an investigation by
the department of agriculture has dis,
closed, although no attempt was made
to fix the amount added to consumers
bills for that reason.
The report says milk dealers "are
compelled to purchase IL bottles ev'
cry month for each bottle they have
filed daily during that period" and
continues:
1.-THE loss among small dealers Is
less than that sustained by the large
enterprises. The small dealers have
greater breakage than the large dis
tributors, but they are better able tt
check up on the return Of their bottles
and therefore do not lose so many In
that manner.
Breaking bottles, losing or using
them for other purposes, selling to
Junk dealers, or giving the bottles be-
longing to one dealer to another, adds
materially to the consumers bill and
IS an economic error which each GUS
toner can help to reduce by returning
every bottle In good condition"
