Haste in replacing punctured or blown out tubes is responsible for much extravaganza in tire upkeep. The most common mistake is pinch ing the tube. Often the tube Is in- serted in an uneven or twisted man ner. This causes it to overlap and wrinkle, with the result that in 8 short time it will cut through where it has been overlapped and leak. The same troubles comes when new tubes buckle from an thrush of air. New tubes should be partly inflated and applied carefully.

WHERE NOT TO BUILD GARAGE

FHTI1 I1IIc
 Many persons, in building an auto or buggy house, seem to have ID other place to build the house than a few yards from a barnyard or sta ble, not realizing that the fumes of au,mounia arising from manure are ir injurious to the fine finish of an au- tcm obile or buggy.

Bang! You hear this sharp sig nal of tire blowout often at this season of the year on country roads When traffic is heavy it's some times as difficult to find a vacant space for repairs at the roadside as it is to "spot" a parking space or the city streets. In the early sum mer tires that have been mistreated during the winter months develop structural weaknesses and the first long trip usually causes them tp pop A spare tire is wise pre- caution.
 Our weekly don't: Don't neg lect to adjust your spark pluts points at least once every three months. In most auto engines spark plugs work best when the points are about one-thirty- second inch apart It is not advisable to guess at this distance. Just whittle down a small piece of hard wood until it is at exactly the required thick ness. A missing cylinder can often be cured by properly adjusting the spark plug points.

ON TREATY MAKERS

President Harding and Secretary of
State Hughes were showered with con-
gratulations at the Cabinet meeting
yesterday on the success of their
leadership in the international con-
ference, which already has produced
the four party treaty to stabilize peace
IN the Pacific and the agreement on
reduction and Limitation of naval
ornaments.
Mr.. Harding is particularly pleased
with the favorable reception of the
rour-power treaty. He is amused by
the suggestion that the pact binds the
united states to go to war in the
same way as Article 10 of the league
OF nations covenant would have done
There is nothing in the treaty re-
quiring the United States to enter into
any armed activity in response to a
decision Of the other three powers, the
President pointed on to visitors.

could determine the time that death
had occurred. On each instance, he
stated that he could not, and that

do so.
Similar testimony was given by
DR.. w. l.. Brent, of Colonial Beach
who was summoned to the Eastlake
home. and who conducted an exam

Dahlgren on the morning of the
murder, testified that Eastlake, on
that morning was unusually tidiIy
clad, so much SO that he jokingly
asked him. where was the we'd

This strengthened the prosecu-
tion's contention that Eastlake had
changed his clothing prior to his
leaving the house. Robey also testi.
fed that Eastlakc did not show emo
ton when informed that his wife
had been murdered.
Finds Bloody Revolver.
Thomas Howe. OF Colonial Beach,
testified he found bloodstained re-
volver under the clubhouse adjOin-
ing the Eastlake home. the place
where Miss Knox claims she spent
the night previous to the tragedy.
The revolver. IS caliber one
was found as the result of the con-
dition of bushes surrounding the

cured it. his hand was covered with
blood. On the handle Of the re,ol-

cred, and the first time that a def
mite naval ratio as affecting them
was mentioned was when the ratio
for the Big Three" was completed.
The French take the position that
their national honor does not per-
nit them to accept any fixing Of
naval ratio strength, or indeed any
thing else, excepting at the hands
of their own delegation and their
own government. There has been
an exchange of cablegrams between
Washington and Paris ever since
yesterday morning, presumably
dealing with the naval ratio, and
it generally is believed that the
delegation here is acting under the
direct instructions of Premier
BRAND.
Would Upset Finance World.
Whether there is hidden behind the
present insistence a desire to gain
something not yet mentioned is hard
to say. OF course France has been
explaining that she should be allotted
more submarines than Japan and it
is entirely within the bounds of pos
sibility that there will be an UNDER
standing on this subject before the
capital ship question finally is agreed
to.
1t now is certain that there will
be no plenary session of the con-
ference before some time next week.
1t also is likely that the hopes of
some of the delegates that all of the
larger problems would have been COM
pletely disposed of by Christmas
connot be realized. Officials of the
conference Were in no way alarmed
over yesterdays developments. 1t
was one of those unexpected hap
penings that must be expected and
does not mean that the work of the
last five weeks has gone for naught.
In this connection it was pointed
out that the French demands, if
granted, would demoralize the world
of finance. Vessels of the type that
France desires to build would cost
at least forty million dollars apiece.
And Americans familiar with the sub
ject had no hesitancy in declaring
last night that they did not see
where France could expect to get the
money that would be needed to carry
on even part of the program that
had been suggested.

called the Zion police. who arrested
her.
