Tube Bags Preserve
ResiIiency of Rubber

Inner tubes are usually packed in
the factory in wax paper. This
paper will preserve the resiliency
and elasticity of the rubber, but IL
won't protect 1t when thrown care
lessiy into the tool box of a car
The jolting Of the car causes the
tube to chafe against the box and
thrusts 1t against the sharp edges
Of the tools.
The tube that Is always ready for
the roadside emergency is the one
that Is wrapped in cloth or paper,
or better yet encased In an mex
pensive tube bag.

ALLEGE BANK WASN'T ROBBED
Insurance Company Fights Payment
to Wichita Institution

Wichita, Oct. 14.--An answer
which served to deny that the Stock
yards State Bank had been robbed
was filed by the Kansas Casualty and
Surety Company in reply to the
banks suit for $12,250, alleged to
have been lost at the reported rob-
berry at the bank May 10. The an
swer, which is unusually short, denies
each allegation of the banks suit.
The bank alleged the robbery had
occurred, and the casualty company's
answer includes this allegation in the
sweeping denial. 1t demands judg-
ment against the bank for costs and
also asks that the plaintiffs petition
be denied.
The reported robbery occurred
about 1850 o'clock Of the morning Of
May 10 when Finlay Ross, Jr., cash
Ter, opened the bank. The bandits
exhibited no gun, but kept his right
hand in his coat pocket and raised it
toward Ross. In full
view Of the plate glass window the
robber sorted out the packages Of bills
Of larger denominations and stuffed
them into his pockets. The suit over
the insurance probably will come to
trial In the January term OF court.
