TUBE PACKING

Apt to Get Box Worn Un,
less Wrapped in Cloth
Or Kept in Cases.

Box worn" means about the same
thing in auto inner tubes as shop
worn" means in clothes. Both are
damaged goods.
When an inner tube leaves a rub
Der factory it is ordinarily packed
in Waxed paper and placed in a box

paper packing which is so essential
to insure its resiliency and elastic
ity-in other words. its live quality
is not intended to be the packing
which will protect the tube care
lessly thrown in the tool box Of a
car.
Here the constant jolting and
swerving Of the car causes the loose
ly-packed tube to chafe against the
sides of the box, according to the
Miller Tire Repair School, at Akron
Ohio. AS a result. the tube chafes
through at the folds. If it is a re-
paired tube, loosely thrown into the
box, it ordinarily lacks even the
protection of the box against cut
ting on the sharp edges Of the tools
A motorist will always find in the
roadside emergency. that his tubes
are in the same serviceable cOndl
tion as when he placed them in the
car il he will carefully wrap them
in soft cloth or paper so that they
cannot slide around in the wrapping
Better even than this, however, Is
the purchase of a tube bag. 1t Is

Senate Still Holding Up

which has endeavored to handicap a President in the formation of his own off, ficial family, the cabinet. When A. Mitchell Palmer was nominated to be At torney General the republicans, on mo- tion of Senator Frelinhuysen, whose mas 9 betrays his German descent, proceeded to investigate the record of Mir. Paltner when he served the country as GUS todian of alien property. In that serv- ice, incidentally, MT. Palmer seized Ger man owned property in the United States valued at $7O0,000.0O0, to the surrender of which Germany agreed when signing the Versailles treaty, and to the return ot which the republican majority would agree in formulating a separate peace with the defeated power.
 Not satisfied with it's efforts in respect to the Palmer confirmation, the repub- licans again busted themselves when Bainbridge Colby was appointed Seer etary of State. His nomination was con- sidered from February 25 to March 22. because of some rumors that some mys- terious individual had whispered into the ear of a certain unnamed republican sen- ator.

Berlin, Aug. 6.-(By MaiD While
many industrial chieftains predict
calamitous results from the Spa
coal agreement, especially in the
coming winter the agreement is
bringing Germany certain blessings
in disguise.
First, II has stimulated the nation
to water power development.
Second it has shown industrial
leaders the need of unified effort
and has forced development Of a
plan of dividing the nation into
economic districts" for economic
use of water gas and electricity.
Third, it has stimulated national
unity more than any event since the
war, and is helping give the separa-
tist movement in south Germany a
serious black eye.
Development of waterpower. par
ticularly in South Germany is no
new thought. Keen engineers have
been studying this problem for a
long time, and have previously taken
steps toward utilizing water as a
supplement to other power.
But, with signing of the coal agree
ment in Spa, the nation came face
to face with the problem-m
power with less coal. 1t realized that
it was going to have shorter coal
rations this winter than before.
Hence, the idea of water power de
velopment
The Observation-Disclosures body
OF the brainiest business and indus
trial leaders in Germany sitting
soon after Spa, had before it a reso-
luton which said;
For relief of the emergency stu.
alton created by coal deliveries to
the Ausland. the government will
Immediately take steps for building
up water power as fast as possible
and in the best possible manner es-
pecially in South Germany"
A companion resolution called for
creation OF committe of experts
whose duty it would be to draw the
lines for division of the nation in
to economic units. In these subdi-
visinos, unified system of power,
water, gas, electricity supply would
be worked out.
AS for the third point-stimulation
Of national unity Of spirit-it can
be said that the north and the
south are realizing that they must
pull together ii they are to avoid
foreign occupation of the Ruhr and
