The well-being Of SO per cent of q
motorists tire investment depends
upon IA per cent-the relation Of cas-
ing to tube costs. A great part Of tire
trouble Is the direct result Of under
imitation, with the inner tube the Of

neither knows the name of his tubes
nor the length of their service.
Cheap and unbranded tubes handi-
cap any casing. The best is at the
mercy Of q poor tube. The difference
10 tubes is tremendous. A standard
make inner tube Is built of almost
pure rubber and has a strength of
between n and one and One-half
tons per cross section inch. This
means that IL the tube stock were
built up to a square test piece one
inch thick and n inch wide, il would

10 5000 pounds. Inferior tubes do not
have this strength and are highly COM
pounded.
Life Usually Long as Casing.
On an average 1t is possible to build
life into an inner tube only equal to
that of the casing. 1t is false econ
omy TO use an old tube In a new cas-
ing. Inferior and wornout tubes
should be quickly discarded. The tube

when a tube fails to hold air it is
worthless.
As a general average In all services
1t has beer found that pressure in a
tire properly taken care of and when
a good tube is used will decrease about
five pounds In two weeks. When this
ratio Is greatly exceeded, the tube
should be examined without delay be-
fore the life of the tire is sapped.
Valve Cap Should Be Tight.
1t Is well to remember that the can

Washington. - Railroad employees,
should they strike. will find public
sentiment overwhelmingly against
them. The country, nov struggling to
get back on its feet, Is in no mood to
tolerate a strike which would cause
general paralysis of business and gen
eral unemployment. Reports from every
section Of the country Indicate that
the railroad workers will command no
public sympathy. The public resents
q strike threat.
Official Washington is determined
that, strike or no strike, there must
be a reduction In freight rates which
have worked such a handicap to in
dustry and agriculture. The railroads
already have made some reductions,
but more must cOme. The admins
tration is determined on that point.
The recent unemployment conference
held freight reductions essential to
prosperity. If present wartime wages,
higher than those of any other calling,
will justify freight reductions, all well
and good. But if operating costs must
be further reduced to admit of freight
reductions, then they must come down,
strike or no strike. The public is
strong In its demand for lower trans.
portatiOn costs.
THE simple fact in regards to such
a strike as is proposed is that it is as
intolerable as ii ought to be unthink-
able" comments the Albany, y. Y,
Press.
The Hartford, Conn, COurant, doubt
ing If the strike threat will be carried
out, credits the leaders with too much
intelligence to attempt ii ut this criti-
cal time when the inequitable nature
of the present railroad wage scale is
81 generally recognized, when business
is poor, when the roads are SO near
bankruptcy, when thousands of men
are seeking work, and when the public
is not in a mood for delay TO the hoped
for revival of industry"
without sympathy and support of
the nation, the railroad workers can
not count ON winning the strike" de-
eiuA's NV D'Albll rltt IlfNN.
The New York Times says that at
any time the complete tying up of the
railroad system would be AN outrage
and that under present circumstances
1t would be Il crime" 1t points out
that at Il time when unemployed men
are the subject of national concern,
2,OOO,OOO employed men proposed TO
quit their jobs and cause unemploy-
ment of tens of millions of men anx-
ious TO have work.

is IA deflation of both wages and

this string to the front and rear parts
of the right front and rear tires. If
the distances are o equal. shift the
boxes or the steering wheel until they
are exactly so. The string will then
be exactly parallel to the line Of the
wheels on that side.
Then, with a second pair OF boxes
and a string, do the same thing on the
left side, thereby obtaining another
line. When this is accomplished,
measure across from one line to the
other, making sure that these two are
equal distances from the wheels. Do
the same at the rear. II these two
measurements agree exactly, the wheels
are In alignment.-Popular Science
