COSTLY MOTOR ERROR.
Of Trucks on Poorly In
dated Tires a Mistake.

One of ths costliest errors made
by motor truck drivers is the care
Less loading Of trucks on tires that
are not properly inflated This reck-
less practice, like the Overlooking Of
tires, causes rapid deterioration of
equipment, Eventually it means
actual cash out of the pocket of the
truck owner or operator
Engineers have made a study OF
the damage resulting from these
common acts of negligence and the
reports of their findings are aiding
tire companies and truck maRufac-
tureFs to fight the evil. !,
The average truck operator or fleet
operator will ge the limit in devising
means of reducing his operating costs
to a minimum. He will purchase
good tires fer his trucks to obtain
the most service and mileage for his
money, but it doesn't occur to him
to give orders against the mistreat-
ment Of his tire equipment.

For the first time probably in the
history of the state. the House of as
sembly held a short executive session
last night to decide what course it
should follow on certain measures.
The question was debated outside by
newspaper men and others present
whether the House has the right to
hold executive sessions. since the
constitution expressly says that the
senate shall only do so to act upon
nominations made by the governor.
II was contended that the House is
commonly known as "the peoples

be excluded from it's sessions.
Several housing bills failed in the
