There was family council in the
Birdsong flat attended by Essie and
Jimmie and John Bascom and Mrs.
Finschreiber during which the ten.
ant below was asked to accept the
furniture Of the Birdsongs with the
exception of a few little trinkets
as a Christmas present from Little
Ma.
Mrs. Finschreiber shed tears and
accepted with the same whole-heart-

kissed Jimmie and watched them

repeated the story Of the rich young

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
Beatrice Fairfax
Don't Be Petty.
nEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX;
A year ago I went about
with a man for six months when
he suddenly stopped calling. A
short time ago I met him and we
made an appointment which he
did not keep, but wrote me
letter stating that he was sorry he
could not see me on that day,
but II I wanted to see him to write
him and we would make another
appointment. Do you think I
should write him or wait until I
hear from him. He knows / love
him dearly. and I think he is
taking advantage of that.
ANXIOUS.
nON'T be petty. The man wrote
asking you to make another APP
pointment. You say you care for
him, but you appear to value a
silly sort OF pride so high that you
won't show the give and take spirit
necessary to friendship, be 1t be-
tween man and woman or between
woman and woman.

ARMY TANKS BUILT ON
SKID CHAIN PRINCIPLE

The marvellous success OF the caterpil-
| lar type Of tractor. as used in the rari-
Gus kinds Of tanks" employed during
the Great War. was accomplished by
nothing more than a development OF the
familiar skid chain principle.
For many years expert engineers ana
inventors had struggled with the diff
cult mechanical problem OF constructing
a commercial vehicle that would lay its
own track. and thus enable 1t to secure
traction on soft ground, or other yield
Ing and slippery surfaces. But their ef-
forts were unsuccessful until the endless
belt principle, such as is used in tire
chains, was adopted. Thereafter. the
development OF the present day tank"
and other caterpillar tractors was rapid,
all Of which goes to prove that the skid
chain basic principle Is the best girer OF
traction now known to the automobile
world
when you put skid chains on your
bare tires you are giving them the bene-
fit OF this endless chain tractor princi-
pie, which was borrowed from them for
use in tanks" and you should invari-
ably employ them whenever the going
il the least bit uncertain from rain or
other natural causes. Skid-chains lay
their own track of safety from the dan
gecous skid. as we'll as give tenacious
grip that effectually prevents the use
less spinning OF wheels and consequent
wastage OF power. to say nothing OF the
great saving in tire wear caused by this
slippage.
Remove the endless belt from the IRE
sistable tank" and all It's traction is
gone; the powerful motors will be use
less on account Of the absence Of the
method BY which their power is trans
mltted into forward motion. And so II
Is with the motor car using bare tires
on slippery paving. The gripping con-
tact OF endless" skid-chatns must be
employed 10 furnish the rear wheels
with fraction. or even this extra power
will be wasted in useless and expensive
motion that gets the vehicle nowhere.
