ploded.
"The facts OF the case are, that
puncture is often partially sealed
by the tread, so that air escapes
very slowly. 1t may be that nail
still imbedded in the tread, assists
in corking up the hole.
"a slow tube leak results and air
seeps through the fabric according
to Mr.. Hensley, of the Hensley-Er-
ickson Tire company. This air is
imprisoned between the tread and
fabric
Each revolution of the tire acts
like a force pump on this pocket
air. forcing 1t further and further
from under the tread towards the
side wall. Here 1t forms a blister,
similar tc q mud boil.
when the blister breaks, due to
excessive pressure, a ragged hole
is torn in the side wall rubber. Al
though the tear does not go through
the fabric, it will result in serious
damage to the casing if it is long
exposed to the road"

Automobile Has
Become Necessity

"There are over S,0O0O0O passen-
ger cars running about American
streets and roads, says Mr.. Shultz,
of the Shultz Stinson Motor Co.
"The income tax figures show
that only 4,,t25,115 people have in
comes as high as $1,000 per year. Do
twice as many people then own au-
tomobiles as can afford them?
Maybe, but let's look at it this
way. Business men going to work,
women going shopping and making
calls, salesmen, doctors and inspec-
tors making their rounds-all save
time, effort and money through the
use of their cars. Figures show that
the average car owner in America
has increased his income 56.7 per
cent through the use of his car. Do
you wonder then, that instead of
there being too many car owners,
there are all too few?
"The automobile is now the tool
OF business. 1t furnishes a quick,
dependable means of transportation

Prince Afraid
TO Ride In Car

Commander Thomas Hutchins,
American naval attache, and II. c.
Mcpherson, manager of Il. w. Fra
zar & Co. says dispatch, have
completed the round trip to Tung-
ling, the Ming Eastern Tombs, by
automobile and ii is believed that
this trip has been successfully made.
'In the old days when 1t was the
fashion to go out on horseback, the
trip took some three days one way,
at least two nights being spent on
the road. By automobile, in spite
of the sandy roads, the rivers that
had to be crossed by ferry, and the
many other difficulties encountered,
the entire trip was done in eight
hours, and without any mishaps of
any kind. A Dodge Brothers car
was used.
"The party left the Tsihyamen, or
East Gate at on Thursday morn
ing; 6:90 saw them at the Pie Ho,
and 9:15 at San Ho Hsien. This
was the place that was selected in
the days of pony travel as the stop
ping place on the first night, and
by automobile was reached in a scant
three hours and a quarter. The Sc
cond nights stopping place, Dichow,
was reached at 11:45 and at 2:15
the party rolled into the Eastern
Tombs and were met by the Manchu
princes bodyguard. The old-fash-
ioned troops, still carrying broad
swords, and some even bows and
arrows, were half terrified, half fas
cinated by the appearance Of the car.
THE old Manchu prince apparent
ly could not screw up his courage
to sufficient height to venture the
trip in the machine, that was offered
him. After preliminary courtesies,
he withdrew and thereafter sent in
his card. excusing himself. The
priest and his number two went,
however, and it was said that they
were scared out of their wits through
out the entire trip.
Little trouble was encountered
on the trip. The three rivers that

who can afford to get along without
