Tires Carefully
Handled Live to
Snappy, Ripe Age
Glen Evans Mason Chief
Urges Owners to Use
Some Care.

When tires are cared for properly
they last a great deal longer than
when they are banged around, and
the car owner feels the difference in
smaller repair bills and tire bills.
Turning corners with a jerk, slam
ming into curbs and skidding around
corners all wear out tires faster than
they should.
BE careful in your driving and
you will be surprised how long your
tires last" says Glen Evans, dis
tributor of Mason tires.
"Of course, you have heard lot
about tire care, but few of US prac-
tice it on our own equipment. We
are all willing to read about it, but
that ends the case.
TRY being careful and you will be
surprised at reduction in your tire
bills"

Try This to Pull

When a car is embedded in mud or

means of bit of plank and some
stout rope. Wrap the rope around the
end of the plank in a slipknot and
the other end around spoke of the

be used by passing it around tree

A stout stick, the jack handle for
instance, is inserted between the two
strands of the rope and twisted.

Water in Radiator
Often Boils Quickly

1t seems rather anomalous that
overheating is one of the troubles
that often occur in very cold weather
Sometimes this is caused by the use
of an anti-freeze solution having a
boiling point below that of clear
water. More often when car is run
with nothing but water in the radia-
tor some part of the water system
freezes enough to obstruct the pas
sage of the water, with the result
that boiling quickly takes place.

The automotive industry is on a
sounder basis now than ever before
in its history. The factories are work
ing on a narrower margin of profit
than ever before and selling at prices
that are fair.
The industry is here to stay, and in
spite of attacks from many sources,
it will be maintained. 1t is now the
second largest industry in the coun-

Overla1lds Blaze
Trails on Famous
Roadto Maladalav

Fresh from the hold of the steamer
that carried them overseas, two new
Overland cars, part of the first con-
signment of the new cars to reach
the shores of India, blazed the trail
over the road to Mandalay," made
famous in Rudyard Kipling's verse.
The two cars, new and unseasoned,
successfully negotiated the 5OO-mile
run from Rangoon to Mandalay over
roads that had never been travelled
before by a motor car.
The trip was made by Major R. w.
II. Marris, representative of the John
N. WHY'S Export corporation, and
T. M. Van Wyck, Rangoon news
paper man. 1t rivaled in severity
many of the tests to which the Over
land has been subjected in the United
States.
The trip consumed 43 hours. In
cluded on the 500-mile run were five
hours of continuous 1ow-gear work
when the cars plowed through 18
inches Of sand.

TRUE oPossUM STORY.

nm going to tell you the true opos-
sum story" said Mother OpOssum TO
her little ones. They had been keep
ing so safe and had been growing 50
fine and strong in Mother OpOssum's
warm pouch but now she thought it
was time they should see the world.
ut has been told so incorrectly so
many times" said Mother Opossum.
"What does Incorrectly meanY
asked the little opossums There were
seven of them and Mother Opossum
was very proud Of them, for at first
they had been little balls Of almost
nothingess without any fur and with
out any real shapes But they had
grown beautifully. They had learned
how to use their little toes as hands
and to hang on to their mother as she
carried them about when she was mar
keting or doing whatever she had to
do about the countryside.
Their home was really i'm the hollow
Of tree near some marshy ground.
For they love the water and like to
live near It,
They had fine vegetables growing
not far away and IN the daytime they
stayed very quiet and hidden in their
homes while at night they went forth
to get what they wanted and what they
found
They-lived in the south where il was
warm for they did not like the cold
weather.
"Now our family" said Mother
Opossum "is known as the Virginia

opossum family. We have long, thin
toes and when we walk over the
marshy ground or where it is muddy II
is very easy to know which trail is
ours.
'We have coarse hair except on our
tail and ears. Our shouts aren't very
beautiful They look too much like
those of the pig family, but, of course,
we cannot be perfect in every way.
ave aren't too fussy about our food
for we eat meat as well as vegetables,
and that is good way to be. Pussy
eaters are very difficult to get along
with; they are always complaining
and wanting something they don't see.
"But 1t is not of our tastes in food
of which l want to tell you" Mother
Opossum continued. 81 want to tell
you the truth about the opossum fam
lily. or in other words, a true opossum
story.
For years and years and years our
chief trick, If you want to call it that,
was to play that we were no longer
alive when an enemy came around.
1T was our little way of protecting
ourselves and ii has been done by all
opossums for as long as there have
been OpOSsums.

wisest thing to do was to appear life
