point to the matter, and that is the doubt whether or net the convention will dare use the old steam roller tactics again. In the first place there is no incentive to force the nomina- tion of any man such as existed in 1912, when federal office holders were under theobligation of paying back President Taft for their ap- pointments. Neither Gen. Wood nor Senator Johnson has such claim on the loyalty of his followers as would cause him to court another split and another certain defeat.
 As it stands Senator Johnson has the short end of compromise, but the long end has rot the same value that it had when the republican party either had to accept or repudiatc a national administration of its own political faith.

Unique Ways of
 Getting Houses

Des Moincs, Ia.. May 5.-House- hunters of ingenuity have devised several interesting and successful methods of discovering houses and apartments for rent here.
 One recently successful advertise nent appeared under large heading of one word: Help" It stated that "a sweet, year-old baby needs a hon,e," and added "of course, hel parents must go with her." Anotn- CT househunter who saw this adver- tisement told the baby's father about cottage he had just inspected which was too small for himself. The father arrived there first and rented the place
 Most of the schemes are directed toward getting to the vacant place ahead Of anyone else. Moving var drivers are stopped frequently ta discover where their loads of furni. ture came from. Even divorce no tices and death notices have beer successfully followed up by few houschunters.

Increase in Tire Service.

Of all the improvements which have been made in the design and manufacture of motor cars and their accessories, none is so marked as the increase in tire service. Tires which a few years ago were expected to blowout at $500 miles will now run three or four times that distance without difficulty. The spare tire equipment of the tourist of a few years ago almost equalled in weight and bulk that of the body of his car; nowadays one or two shoes and three or four spare tubes are considered ample or even the most extended trip Much of this is due to marked im- provements in tire manufacture and design.
 The full value of this remarkable improvement in tire service, however cannot be obtained without the intel ligent cooperation of the driver him self. He must still adhere to the strongly emphasized don'ts of the tire manufacturers. None of these rules are arbitrary, and if he will but realize why such restrictions and ad monitions are imposed upon him he can easily save hundreds of dollars in tire bills during the next few years.-H. w. Slauson in Leslies'.

Exhibition Ships tO Show American
 Wares Abroad

Louisville, Ky, May 6.-Amerlcah ranufacturers and commercial or ganizations are being urged to adopt the idea of the British and Japanese and send exhibition ships abroad to display American goods in foreign ports. The idea has been propcsed to the American business men oy IT. G. Mclean, assistant foreign tra1- fife manager of the Southern Railway system, who has headquarters hefe' MT. Mclean has suggested that shlp- ping boaord vessels be fitted out as exhibition ships to carry Amerlcah an products to new markets and thus meet the competition of the BrItisn and Japanese manufacturers
 Mir. McClean has called the atten- ton of various commercial organlEe:-- tions to the fact that Japan as well Great Britain has adopted this plan in her race for the worlds trade and that Japanese ships will be sent around the world carrying exhibits of Japanese manufactured goods These vessels will be operated by a co-operative organization embracing a alrge number Of Japanese manufac- turers.
 MT. Mclean, who also is regarded among railroad men as an authority en international trade, points out an- other feature in this connection which he regards of great import ance. British and Japanese manufac- turers, he asserts, through the CO., operation of labor leaders Tn thetr countries have persuaded labor thai "strikeless production" on their part with "strikes against production III the United States would soon enable those countries to capture German trade markets aggregating nearly s6 ,oOO, 100000 nnually with conse- cuent addition of s3,000, 100000 in wages paid British and Japanese workmen.
 MT Mclean says that intensive pro- duction both in Great Britain and Ja- pan has enabled those countries not only to provide ample stocks for do- mestic consumption but also for ex- port in competition with American products in forengn markets.

When the American steamship Fly annis, with cargo of dynamite and sulpphuric acid aboard. recently ar rived here from New York bound to South Africa, 1t was found the acid was leaking badly and that 1t was impossible, owing to some defect in the engines, to get up steam to move the vessel from too close proximity to the shore.
