Two of the chief causes of tire trouble are overlooking and under imitation. All tires have a load limit. Constant slight or occasional neavy overloads shorten tire life, say the manufacturers of Revere tires.
 Proper imitation is as important as proper loads. Tires are not built to take the place of steel springs or of shock absorbers. Under-inflation results in an unnatural flexing of the layers of fabric, and this causes separation of the plies and carly destruction of the tire carcass. If easier riding is desired oversize tires may be used and such tires in addi- tion to furnishing extra resi'iency, give more traction on rear wheels and supply greater mileage. How ever, oversizing tires requires n re- adjustment of the speedometer, otherwise the recorded distance will be less than that actually travelled

Bulbul is a name given to vari- ous birds, especially those of a kind found in southern and southeastern Asia. But it was originally an Arabic Persian name for the Persian night ingale. These birds, much like the thrushes, are very small, and the plum age often very brilliant. They are seen in Persia, India, Palestine, and southward to South America. In In dia, the common bulbul, travelling in small companies, is seen visiting all gardens, plantations and so on, from Ceylon to Bengal. It often builds it's nest in verandas. Its song is "chir- ruping warble"

Can appendicitis be guarded against? Yes, by preventing intes- tinal infection. The intestinal anti septic, Adler-i-ka, acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel removing ALL foul, decaying matter which might start infection. EXCELLENT for gas on stomach or chronic con- stipation.

 He liked to write. He described himself as one "whO writes and grins, as if he thought he were very funny indeed" This was when he was well into his story. In starting & novel he was extremely slow. He could not hit upon names that satisfied him.. His most loved hero was TrOtheld, TrOtbury, COpperbOy and COpperstOne before he finally became COpperfleId. But once in his stride he seldom rewrOte, and he plunged ahead JOyOusIy.
 For every hour given to writing he set aside another for exercise. He de- scrfbes how he ~wa1lxed about the black streets of London 15 and 20 miles many a night when all the sober folks had gone to bed." As he walked, whether in London or Paris streets or along the kenttsh cliffs, he was planning his story. But he was not so absorbed as to be ObliviOus to the people he passed. Quaint and cOmmonpIace men and women fin city streets and country lanes flashed for a moment before his eyes and the next day were made i'm mortal fin his tales.

LIVER TWIST was born about W 70 miles from London, in the
 lying-in room of the almshouse. His mother, worn and exhausted from a long and painful journey on foot had been found unconscious in the road, and had been carried to the only place of refuge for such as she seemed to be. His name he owed to the in- venttve genius of the parish beadle, who remarked: "The last one was a 's'-Swubble I named him; the next one as comes will be Unwin, and I've got names ready made to the end of the alphabet, and all the way through 1t again, when we come to 'z'."
 The wronged and unhappy mother died without revealing her name, and the only proofs of the boys identity, a locket and ring, kept even at the price of starvation, were stolen from the corpse before 1t was cold by the old crOne who had been in attendance
 The orphans childhood, passed in cruel neglect and semi-starvation, was brought to an abrupt close by his own unparalleled act. Desperate through hunger he and his companions deter mined that some one of them shall se- cure for all an extra helping of the thin and watery gruel which Is their principal diet. The lot falls upon Ol- iver. Nine-year-old child though he was, he was reckless with misery" He rose from the table, and advancing to the workhouse-master, basin and spoon in hand, he said, "Please, sir, want some morei"
 Such unheard-of daring receives speedy treatment. The next morning bill, posted upon the gate, offers five pounds to anyone who will take Oliver Twist off the hands of the par ish.
 Then there follows brief stay as the apprentice of a cof1nmaker and undertaken, who, with an eye to the effect, promptly makes of the sad faced little waif a chief mourner' at the funerals of children and many were the processions which little Ol- fver headed, in a hat-band reaching down to his knees, to the admiration of all the mothers in the town"
 His master is, on the whole, we'll disposed toward him, but fight with bullying older apprentice brings him into unmerited disgrace and punish ment and he runs away.
 On the outskirts of London he l chances upon the fascinatingly droll Artful Dodger, pickpOcket and pupil of Fagin. The curious behavior of his new associates is only a game to the innocent boy, when Fagin places snuff boxes, jewelry, watches and handker- chiefs in his pockets, and then stands | looking in imaginary windows while Gin an unbelievably short timel every one of the things is taken from | him. The true meaning of it all burst upon the mortified Oliver when he is taken on an expedition and sees the "game" in full operation. Dazed and confused, he is the only one captured and taken before a magistrate. His l innocence Is established, but he faints in the court room, and is taken home by the remOrseful MT. BrOwnlow, the man whose pocket he was supposed to have picked. In his new friends house Oliver is nursed through a serious ill., ness, and better days seem to have daWned for him, when he again falls Chance happening, for the old crooh.
