There was only small crowd in the

collections slower Farmers are so
busy that they did not take the time

Ed. THE NEWS:
In some towns of Kentucky they
have tried to make a law against
such excessive oiling of streets, where
it stands in puddles, such as on the
streets of Paris, where hundreds Of
automobiles have to travel daily.
Besides being ruinous to tires and
paint Of autos, it causes dangerous
skidding I have no objection 70

oil was spread on in a more moderate

must select their plays from a great
err variety, and always take into
consideration the defense Of their
opponents in making such selec

Spectators liked the sequence
play, because Of the thrill that al.
ways goes with a surprise attack.
A great many coaches, however, are
dead against the set series OF plays.
According to a majority of the
coaches with whom I have talked,
their chief objection to the sequence
plays are:
First, they invariably disorgan
ize the team using them.
Second, they Invite too many pen
alties for off.side plays because OF
the hurried lineup,
Third, they often serve to wakep
up the opposing team, which Is not
to be desired.
Fourth, they often invite a heavy
gamble on a fourth down with a
couple OF yards to go, when a punt
is tho logical play.
Notrc Damo in the Army and

two eastern clevens because OF the
speed with which the plays were

Rockne eliminated the element o.

.USE OLD TIRES AS SPARE, SAYS
 SAVAGE BOOk

Extra tires, not in use on the car, should be kept in a cool, dark place. Extremes of either heat or cold cause an injurious chemical action in the rubber resulting in its premature de- terioration. It is well to further pro- tect extra tires by wrapping them with a strip of cloth.
 The latest Savage Tire service bull Ietin, from which tn. above is taken, advises that the casing carried as a spare should not be brand new but rather d tire that has been used some what. The absolutely new tire is a magnet tor tire thieves, but the- rarely steal a used casing, since spare tires are usually stolen for the pur- pose of re-selling.
 This Savage bulletin also gives some pointers on the care of spare inner tubes. They should be kept either in a special con.ainer, such IS can he purchased a [ any supply store, or else carried in the origina! box. In the latter case care should be taken that the tube is not permitted to move around in the box. else the edges will chafe and wear thin. The tube may be wrapped before being placed in the box or i' may be packed in tightly so that t cannot move. By no means should the tube be carried unprotect- ed in the tool box. nor should 1t he removed from its box and left ex- posed to the rays Of the sun. which will dry out the rubber. harden lt and destroy it's natural life and elasticity i Rubber deteriorates rapidly when subjected 10 heat or exposed to tha rays of the sun

 However, as everyone at present is not blessed with a Big Six Stude- baker, there are some of us that can not say as much about the comfort of driving this road in the good old days before it was paved.
