so pleased that he becomes a perma-
nent customer. If the tires wear less
than the allotted miles there is apt to
be controversy and dissatisfaction in
the necessary settlement, which makes
the customer VOW that the next time
he buys tires it will be from another
concern.
If the owner through carclessness
can't bring about complete destruction
within the prescribed mileage limit
and the tires go bad when run much
farther, he is disappointed that his
troubles came outside the guaranteed
limit and straightway decides to try
another brand. So while the misuse
OF tires creates demand for more of
them. the makers still encourage their
customers to apply common sense to
the care Of this important part Of an
automobile: No tire Is good enough
Indifference or neglect, and folks who
make tires want their products to
score 100 per cent.
Use Pressure Gauge
One can guess at the imitation in the
price of tires, if there is any, and yet
be helpless to remedy the causes. But
no one need to guess at the imitation
of the air In his tires. A pressure gauge
has been invented to take the guess
work out Of this imitation problem. A
person may think that kick at tire
or pound on it with monkey wrench
is good enough test, but it certainly
isn't accurate.
Sunday morning, just before start
ing with the family to attend divine
worship, is said to be the best time
for using the pressure gauge. If there
are twenty pounds of air to every inch
of tire diameter the owner can hope
for day Of rest free from tire trou-
bles. If not, he will have just enough
time to add the desired amount of air
while friend wife is putting the finish
ing touches on her Sunday-go-to-meet-
ing gown. It pays big to give the tires
proper nourishment. It means fewer
punctures and consequent expensive
operations and longer life Of the tires.

touring bureau of the American Auto

through Brcnx Park and along Pelham

passes through Mamaroneck, Rye and

il now very much less than when the
doughty old generals exploit in the

glimpses Of the nearby waterfront in
going through Cos Cob, Mianus and
Stamford.
Leaving the shore line at Noroton
by turning north, one begins almost at

try to the pleasant, slightly village of
New Canaan. This place is said to
have been the rendezvous of patriotic
Americans from Norwalk when the
latter WAS beseiged by the British dur

uous features now are the several fine
estates, which have either been erected
new or remodeled from substantial
old-hmes farmhouses.
On the way up beyond New Canaan
to Ridzefield, the route cuts across a
very small corner of New York State
caused by sharp projection of Vest
chester County eastward, out of line
with the remainder of the interstate
boundary. No doubt a bit of interest

Table That Shows Sizes
Of Tires for Trucks

Tho following table summarizes tho
proper size and style of tire to be
recommended for use on trucks Of
various capacities. The tire sizes
listed approximate those prescribed as
original factory equipment for trucks
OF the respective capacities by truck
manufacturers. The listed sizes also
conform to the load carrying REQUIRE
ments of the different capacity trucks.
In using this table the nature of the
work the truck is to perform is the
factor that should determine for the
user the proper tire to be used, If
more than one tire is listed for the
same capacity truck. Preceding classi
fications of truck uses should be
utilized in determining this factor.
1t must be borne in mind that the
classifications respecting industrial
uses Of truck tires given are very
general. Under present conditions Of
roads, truck design, traffic and load
ments cannot be laid down without
the knowledge of conditions under
which the vehicle will operate. Pneu-
matte tired trucks can be linked up
with solid tired trucks in the same
business, and by the intelligent use Of
both classes of equipment the trans-
portation work as a whole speeded up.

Bazaar Store Moves
Into New Building
Home Furniture Company Plans to
Move About March 18th, Maffett

The new Bowen Block on the cor
ner of Central and Main streets was
occupied Friday by the first of the
four concerns who are to make their
homes there. The Bazaar Store. OF
which R. |. Maffett, J. C. Holder and
Mark Mathis are owners and propri-
etors, started moving its stock OF
goods and fixtures Friday and this
morning had been completely trans
ferred from the old Grant Street To-
cation to the new Central Avenue
home.
The Bazaar's new home is six feet
wider and thirty feet longer than the
old place. 1t has two of the largest
show windows in town, which will be
kept in metropolitan appearance by
Mr.. Holder. The big room is well
lighted and ventilated and makes a
very attractive appearance.
The second floor of the building
over the Bazaar Store will be used as
stock room for the present. The
management plans to open millinery
and ladies' ready-to-wear department
there some time this year, probably
not before Fall.
Mr.. r. I. Maffett, manager of the
Home Furniture Comply, stated that
his new quarters would probably be
ready for occupancy about March IS.
When the Home Furniture Company
moves out of its Grant street store,

street fronts and the store room in
the old Post Office building.

CONSOLIDATION OF
SCHOOLS APPROVED
Ashton Meeting Votes Appoint
ment Of Committees
EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER
Committees From Five Schools
Will Arrange Details -

Plans for the consolidation of Hort
on, Eureka, Dorminey, and Evergreen
Schools in the Eastern Half of BenHil
County, with the Ashton School were
heartily endorsed by patrons of thu
five schools affected at massmeetinf
at Ashton Friday afternoon.
The mass meeting voted to author
ize the board of education to appoint
committee from each of the five
schools to arrange it so that the pupil.
of all five schools could begin attend
ing the Ashton school at the opening
of the. 1922 term next September
The personnel of the five committees
has not been announced by the board
OF education yet but will be published
In the Leader Enterprise when the
committees are selected.
All five committees will meet to-
gether merit month to discuss the de-
tails of the consolidation plan and to
prepare to take all steps necessary to
merge the five schools into one
big school that will be as good as any
big city institution.
By merging the four small schools
with Ashton, the county will be eligi-
bic to receive $500 per year from the
State which it has not been receiving
and will also be eligible to receive be-
tween 500 and $1,000 from the Uni
ted States government to apply on the
salary of an eXprt to teach practical
agriculture. The County will save the
cost of keeping up the four separate
school plants which are to be abolish
ed, The four teachers who formerly
taught the small schools will be trans
ferred to the Ashton school, increas-
ing the staff there to nine.
The additional cost to the county OF
getting a Class A school will be for
three motor trucks to transport the
children in outlying districts to and
from Ashton school.

Friday were Aldine Pound, state high
school supervisor; J. E. Turner, treas
