AUTOMOBILE TIRES

"The grand jury criticised Jerry Gwin
 for spending $l.59l for pneumatic tires,
 saying this was wasted. as the tires did
 not last for one month. The facts are
 these; The front tires were adjusted
 after they had been used for one month,
 but not at the expense of the county.
 The foreman of this camp had positive
 instructions to keep the exact number of
 miles that the truck travelled. also the
 number of gallons of gasoline used anl to give a report comparing the cost Of operation of this one truck on pneumatic tires against four other trucks operating from the same camp on solid tires. The report shows that the truck operating on pneumatic tires is doing 2o per cent more work than the trucks operating on solid tires and is saving more than B per cent of gasoline. Taking the average life of solid and pneumatic tires to be 6.ooO miles, and as we are renting trucks for sS0 per day, the approximate saving
 on the pneumatic tires is from q to $lu
 per day on this truck. In the life of the tires, which would be approximately lU
 days. you would save about SS50 The pneumatic tires cost about sl.l50 and the solid tires about $450. a saving on solid
 tires of $7Oo. You can readily see that

LLOYD GEORGES RUSS
SOLUTION WALL0PED
BY ENGLISH PAPERS
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, I JAN 19.-The Times,
which ascribes the decision to reopen
trade relations with soviet Russia en-
tirely to Premier Lloyd George, at
tacks him severely and says:
"The statement that this decision
leaves unchanged the attitude of the
allies toward the Bolshevik govern
ment is regarded as palpable and
insolent untruth." r-
The Times further contends that
Lenine and his colleagues will GER
tainly seize whatever goods are con-
signed to cooperative societies and
expresses the opinion that "Mr. Lloyd
Georges regard for home politics and
advanced laborities had more to do
with the decision than the sound
views of national advantage and nat
ional honor"
The Chronicle, which is a firm sup
porter of the premier, attributes the
decision, to the supreme council at
Paris, and says:
"The pretense that the council is
dealing only with the cooperative
societies and not the soviet govern.
ment is camouflage."
WARSAW, Jan. 19-Terms for con
cluding peace with the Bolsheviki
have been fixed by the Ukranian gov.
ernment, according to Lemberg news
papers. They include recognition OF
the independence of the Ukrainian
peoples republic, exchange of pro
ducts between Ukraine and Russia
complete neutrality of Ukraine and
the withdrawal of all soviet forces
from the territory Of that republic and
recognition Of the Ukrainian. govern
ment with M. Magopa as premier
In exchange the communist party
