"GUM BLOW-OUTS" AND ITS CAUSE

The motorist stops his car and dis gustedly gets out to examine the blowout. To his amazement the tire has not gone flat and the tread is still intact. Technically this trouble is known as gum blowout" Pocketed air in the side wall, caused by an obstructed puncture, simply reached the bursting point and ex- ploded.
 The facts of the case are, that a puncture is often partially sealed by the tread, so that air escapes very . slowly. It may be that a nail, still imbedded in the tread, assists in corking up the hole.
 A slow tube leak results and air seeps through the fabric. This air is imprisoned between the tread and fabric.
 Each revolution of the tire acts like a force pump on this pocket ed air, forcing it further and further from under the tread towards the side wall. Here it forms a blister similar to a mud boil.
 = When the blister breaks, due to ex- cessive pressure, a ragged hole is torn in the side wall rubber. Although the tear does not go through the fabric it will result in serious dam age to the carcass if it is long ex- posed to the road
 When a blisterss is noticed on the side wall, take the casing to a tire surgeon without delay.

Story Of Harding's Life

Warren G. Harding, United
States senator from Ohio. was born
on his grandfather's farm, where his
father then resided, just outside the
village of Blooming Grove, Morrow
county, O., November 2. 1865. He
was the eldest of eight children.
He is the son of DR.. George T.
Harding, who at the time of War
ren's birth was the village doctor.
In those days no night was too
dark, no journey too long over al
most impossible roads for him to
go to alleviate the suffering of some
patient.
The Hardings were of colonial
stock. coming originally from Scot
land, settling in Connecticut, re-
moving later to the Wyoming val
ley, Pennsylvania, where some of
them were massacred. Others
fought in the Revolutionary war.
Warren's mother. Phoebe Dicker-
son, was descended from an old
time Holland Dutch family and thus
was blended the blood of the Hol-
land Dutch with that of the hardy
Scotch.
The country roundabout where
the Hardings located was mostly
woodland. His grandfather owned
small tract of land and was
neither better or worse off than his
neighbors. They were all engaged
in cutting away the timber and
transforming primitive forest into
cultivated farms. And in those days
every child was expected to con-
tribute his share of toll in overcom-
ing the obstacles of nature in the
transforming process.
Acquired Habit of Industry.
AS Warren grew up he learned to
fell trees, chop wood, split rails,
plant and hoe corn and do all the
things incident to farm life. Those
were the days when farm 1abors
were performed by hand. In this
way young Harding acquired the
habit of industry.
However, it was not all toll for
young Harding He attended the vii
lage school until Ia when he entered
Ohio General college at iberia,
! from which he was graduated. Dur

RAILROAD MANS
Wife ADMITS SHE.
WAS IN DEATH CAR
Mrs. Helen SWanbaCk, 1905
South TWenty-Third Street,
Gives Version of Fatal
Auto Accident.

Mrs. Helen Swanback, 1905 South
Twenty-third street, was identified
Saturday as the woman who was
slightly hurt in the automobile
wreck which resulted in the death of
B. F. Hutchins, Omaha real estate
man, Friday morning.
Corrected details of the fatal acci-
dent were given by Mrs. Swanback,
who admitted she was Hutchins'
companion in the car which turned
over on the road three miles east of
Fremont. ...
The reports from Fremont that the
accident was the fatal elimination cf
night ride were denied by Mrs.
Swanback. She declared she and
Hutchins left Omaha at 5 a. m. Fri
day. The accident happened at $50
she said.
Riding in Back Seat.
II was riding in the lack seat"
said Mrs. Swanback. "Had | been
riding in the front seat with Mr..
Hutchins l, too, would have been
killed"
Hutchins was alone in the front
seat of the car, she said. She said
she made the engagement to take a
ride with Hutchins the day before.
No one else was in the car, she said
She said, that Hutchins had been
an Acquaintance of the family for
eight or nine years and that he was
a friend of both hetself and her
husband, George Swanback. a
switchman for the Union Stock
Yards company. =

"Mr. Hutchins was not merely
personal friend of mine" she said
"Ee also was an old friend of my
husband and has been a. the house
many times" 81
Mrs. Swamback characterized as
untrue report from Fremont that
she said "she shouldn't have been
in the car" and "that her husband
would never find it out" :.

ator rushed down to the press room.
His trained eye soon located the
trouble and it was not long before
the edition was again on its way.
This mastery of detail was an
early trait of the senator and has
followed him throughout his career.
"Star" Was His Idol.
But to return to the Star. This
was the senator's idol. 1t was the
pet of his youth and the pride of his
manhood. When he was 19, having
completed his college course, his
father, DR.. Harding, seeking a wider
field, removed to Marion, O., the
county seat of an adjoining county.
where he still resides, and despite
his 70 years, is in active practice of
his profession.
The Star was a struggling daily
in a backward county seat of 1000
inhabitants. Young Harding wanted
to own it, however, Notwithstanding
the fact that it was difficult to tell
whether it was an asset or a liability.
His father having faith in the young
man and wishing to crafty his SUI
preme desire lent his credit in as
sisting in taking the plant over
the consideration being the assump-
ton of its indebtedness. The county
was democratic and this paper was
not even the official. organ of the
minority party.
With youthful enthusiasm and the
inspiration of a young man who has
his foot on the first rung of the
ladder of his ambition, he bent his
energies to the task of making the
Star power in the community.
He lived with it by day and
dreamed of it by night. Thorny was
the road and the greater share Of the
time the Golfers OF the treasury were
depleted to the point of bank
ruptcy.
The story of how il grew and ex.
panded, ultimately taking over its
competitor, is too long to be written
here. II was the old story of devo-
ton, energy, resourcefulness and
determination.

minutes after Senator Harding had
been nominated, the suffragists from
their headquarters across the street
were issuing statements announcing
that they proposed to center their
demands for action on the constitu-
tional amendment upon the nominee.
Harding Gaining.
Senator Warren G. Harding of
Ohio was riding the top wave to-
ward the presidential nomination
when the convention late today
took two-hour recess. During that
time the Wood and other forces
were working frantically to check
the Harding compromise move
ment.
Wood and Lowden managers con-
ferred on the question of pooling
their forces to check the drift to
Harding and force recess in the
balloting until Monday.
At the moment of recessing the
Harding tide was rising fast and
running from all directions. 1t had
climbed up to 1887 votes, and
what appeared to be a stampede to
Harding from various state delega-
tons was being held in check by the
leaders, who wanted a recess for
conferences.
Beginning with last nights confer
ences of convention leaders who felt
some man must be found to break
the deadlock in which the votes for
Wood, Lowden and Johnson were
holding the convention, the drift
toward Harding began running
strong and when the convention as
sembled today it was forecast that
a break to the Ohioan would come
soon after the opening.
Wyoming for Harding.
Beginning with 70 votes on the
first ballot-the fifth of the conven-
tion-the Harding accessions came
along in small gains from the field
until Wyoming was reached and cast
all six votes for him. Immediately

ing his college course he was editor
of the college paper where he first
displayed nose for news" Like all
boys of that day he was obliged to
work during vacations to pay for his
tuition. He cut corn, was an amateur
painter and drove a team in the
grading of the T. & O. c. railroad
which was being constructed
through that community.
AT II he was teaching school and
footing horn" in the village brass
band.
One of his fellow musicians, who
is now at the head Of a great manu-
featuring plant and who has since sat
with him on various boards of di-
rectors, recounts that the band once
took third prize in a tournament.
Learned Secrets of Printing.
At odd times Harding worked in
the little printing office in the village
nearby. He became first-class COM
positor and interested himself in
the mechanism of the entire plant.
When linotypes were introduced he
mastered the keyboard so that he
finally mastered the intimate work
ings of newspaper office from the
editorial room to the press room.
A friend recalls an incident which
illustrates the human" side of
Harding's character.
Entering the office of the Star,
one New Years morning he found
the senator making up the form and
performing all the duties of the fore
man who was busy elsewhere.
Whats the idea% inquired the
friend.
well, you see," responded the
senator, "this is a holiday, and we
want to go to press early so that
the men may get home and pass the
day with their families, so Pm lend
ing helping hand"
When the forms were made up
and the paper went to press the SEN
ator and his friend adjourned to the
editorial room for a chat. Suddenly
the rumbling of the press ceased.
The inevitable which always haunts
a newspaper office in the rush hour
or on a holiday, had happened.
Springing from his chair the SEN
