Speed and Tire Wear.

One OF the most expert tire men
IN inc country recently called the
attention OF motor car owners to
the manner In which tire wear in
creases with speed. The faster a
tire travels, the more heat it gen
crates internally. Normal speed
does not Increase the internal heat
to dangerous degree. but excess
speed Will not only raise the heat
above the danger point. but may
actually cause further vulcaniza tisn
to take place. Thiss heat not only
dries out the friction gum between
the piles of fabsic. but the very
fabric itself, lowering the elasticity
of the tire, decreasing its resiliency
and weakening the tire sd that IL
will blow out early.

for a motor car is claimed by John

cara model G Franklin-was pur-
chased on June ~, 1910, and has
been in constant use ever since.
II has been driven approximately
15o. 900 miles. yet IL has never been
in a service station for repairs OF
any kind.
The total amount Of money spent
on parts has aggregated only SIS

these parts were installed by the
owner himself. The car. affection
ately dubbed "Old Betsy" still has
its original top. which is still in a

WHEN Grover Cleveland. great
w Democratic president or the
United States, uttered these WORDS ne
gave promise for the present ano
for the future. He said we sha"
teach" He did teach and he contin-
ued 10 teach the Americanism In which
ne was so fervid believer. Since MS
day It has been taught. and under
Providence Americans will continue 10
teach it until the end of time.
The Americanism upon which Cleve-
land was dwelling was that and Is that
which was confided, as he puts IL, as
heritage from the American genera
tons OF the past unto the generation
of the present in which he lived. Cleve-
land knew, as all reading and thinK-
ing men knew and know, that the
heritage of true liberty, which is the
heritage of true Americanism, came
down from the Fathers, and mat 10
It's essence IL was the same In the
speakers day that IL was in the day
when 1t first found voice. IL Is the
same today.
Americanism has been given into
the patriotic keeping and loving care
of the people. Cleveland puts this IN
another way, hut IL means the same
thing. He speaks Of the heritage hav-
ing been committed into the keeping
of true Americanism, therefore IL Is
that true Americanism Is in the keep
ing OF itself and of its fellowship on
believers. good many other isns
have been called by unthnking men
Americanisms. Mems thoughts on
what constitute true Americanism may
/ differ, but in the end they come togeth-
or in the one thought, that the essen
tial Americanism is that which keeps
this country what the Fathers intended
II 70 be--a place OF law, order and lib
erty
The necessity for teaching that this
heritage Of liberty Of ours has beer
confided 10 us from generation 10 gen
Grafton and that IL is as precious no"
as ever. seemingly, but perhaps oni.
seemingly, is sharper today than
has been in many years. There have

despaired OF liberty. There are al
