Once a long, long time ago, in far-off
land there was forest in which there
lived SOME strange little men, hall dwarf
and half COLLINS.
This forest in which they lived was
called the Enchanted Forest, for no
traveller who chanced to enter here ever
was seen again. and what his fate was no
one could tell.
The goblin-dwarfs were never known
to leave the forest, and no one had seen
them only from a distance when they were
humping and dancing about at night,
and then the one who chanced to behold
these strange creatures did not stop to
take second look, but ran as fast as his
legs could carry him away from the En-
chanted Forest, lest the power OF the
goblin dwarfs reached him and drew MN
into the mysterious place,

DON'T .UNDERINFLATE
TIRES IN WINTER

Winter invariably brings inquiries
to local tire dealers on the question
of opinion seems to be that more air
is required during cold weather. This
theory has been exploded by an ex-
haustive test conducted by The B. F.
Goodrich Rubber Company.
Many motorists believe that cer-
tain amount of air should be let out
of tires in warm weather to make up
for the increased air pressure caused
by the heat, and that a corresponding
amount of air should be pumped into
tires in cooler weather.
A 34x4 tire, to which makers pre-
scribe a seventy-pound pressure, was
used for the test. Air at various tenn
peratures was pumped into the tire
and the tire run at excessive speed
pnder severe road conditions. The
changes in pressure were found to be
negligible. Goodrich recommends ar
even pressure the year round with adj
herance to the pressure designated
for the various sizes of tires.
Frequent observations conducted
by experts of the company have dem
onstrated that the vast majority Of
motorists keep their tires underin
fiated. Even if hot weather makes ;
slight difference in pressure it woult
be policy to risk it rather than takt
the chance of having the tire under
f1ated. Of the two evils the latter il
far more universal and destructive.
In this condition, it is well. to re
member that air pressure is just a
apt to increase in cold weather as il
hot. This comes about by the fric
tion of the tire against the roa'
where the going is rough. Yet tn
motorist never thinks of letting ou
air in the winter. A safe rule is t
keep standard pressure.

Early in the participation of the
United States in the world war, the
American Red Cross perceived the
value of mobilizing the school children
of the country and the Junior Red
Cross was organized. Before the war
ended nine million children were en-
rolled and helped in the war fund
and membership campaigns, in chap
ter production of relief supplies and
manufacturing furniture for the ref
ugees whose homes and household
goods were destroyed.
Children everywhere in the Bnitetl
States responded to the call to serv-
ice sounded by President Wilson as
head of the American Red Cross.
