The Pace That Kills.

In the life of an auto, just as
in human life, there is the pace
that kills. The motor or compo-
nent parts of an automobile should
no more be abused than an ami
NAL should. Societies for the pre-
vention Of cruelty to motor cars
are impracticable, but each auto
driver can be sort of a silent
partner in a broad national move
ment to take care of his auto.
Just across the street from
where / lived this winter was
man, who had pretty much of the
worlds good, l thought. He had
a cute simplicity bungalow, wife,
a kiddie and one of the low-priced
light-four touring cars. He has
had this car for four months and
1t looks as good today as when
first l saw it. He takes pride in
his possessions. He does not drive
with the pace that kills; that in
satiable desire to take every hill
on high, to pass every car in front,
to slam on the brakes, to cut the
corners fast and short, to over
load his car beyond capacity. He
watches his oil, his gas, his lubri-
cants, the air in his tires and fol-
lows more the pace that pleases
than the pGce that kills.
Every Sunday he spends the en-
tire morning going over his car,
washing it, greasing it and giving
the whole automobile the inspec-
tive once-oVer. He was so persis-
tent in his care of the little car
that it was almost amusing. But
it was comAendable. If more car
owners would pamper, rather
than punish their cars, how much
more enjoyment they would have
than at present, and how better
able would their machine be able
to meet the emergencies when they
did arise.

Expert Gives Tips
On How TO TeIIIf
Tube Is Worn Out

GLOW am l to know when an

7. Sebelle, manager of tube sales,
Goodyear Tire & Rubber company
of California.
'It is the natural inquiry of G
tire user who has had several re-
pairs made on his tubes and wishes
to obtain the utmost mileage from
them, yet wants to avoid the in
convenience of making tire
change on the road, due to tire
trouble.
"In these times when economy is
the order Of the day, a tire user
holding an old tube in his hand,
can well afford to ponder a min
ute before casting it aside as

determine just when a tube is uu-
fit for further use. However,
porosity in tube, usually indi
Gates that it has attained it's three
score and ten. In this stage Of
use, very small cracks can be OBJ
served in the rubber if it is
stretched and examined carefully.
The next development is splitting,
when the air pressure becomes too
great for the tube to bear.
"If the rubber in a tube is live
it may successfully bear as many
patches as beggar's coat. But
due care must be exercised in the
vulcanization of the patch to the
tube, that too large portion OF
the tube around the patch is not
cured.
81 believe that the lack of prop
er care of the tube is responsible
for most of the troubles tires users
experience. The observance of q
few precautions would help Won
derfully to eliminate these trou-
bles.
"The absence of sufficient tale
between casing and tube allows
generation of heat which vulcan
ICES the tube to the fabric of the
casing. Then if you attempt to
remove it, it tears.
Much tube splitting is occa-
stoned by the slipping of the tube
between the casing and the rim,
which soon results in pinch,
The remedy is careful applying.
1.-The protection of spare tubes
is a matter that many tires users
pass over too lightly Usually
spare tubes are carried loosely in
the tool box, where they come in
contact with grease, oil and tools.
"The grease and oil reduce the
quality of the rubber, while the
tools many times chafe the tubes
and render them unfit for use.
''It seems to me that the whole
problem of obtaining the greatest
tube mileage resolves itself into
the simple matter of exercising
proper care"

IF MOVING PICTURES should be
installed as part of the means of pub
lie school education, the school houses
of Delaware would have to be re-
built and enlarged, so that the men
and women of the rural districts
could be accommodated with seats as
visitors to the daily sessions of the
schools. Well, lets try the plan any
way-it will do one thing for the ben
eft of the schools-and that is, the
parents will learn quickly just how
poor the old school houses are, when
physical comfort in cold weather, or
personal convenience and comfort Of
the body is to be looked after. Then
again, probably the toilets of the av-
erage country school might be brought
with realizing sense of their awful
ness, to the parents of the children
who have to use them daily. Yes-lets
have the movies installed in every
school house in the land, as an aid |
to impress the children in their les
sons in the various studies, which they
reluctantly attempt to do now from
dry text books and with only moder-
ate intelligent assistance from instruc-
tors-in too many instances. Edison,
the great benefactor of the human
race, has recommended that moving
pictures be applied to and used in pub
lie school teaching; and, while it may
be radical to some folks, we believe
that it is practical and would be ben
efcial in eduacting the children. Mu-
sic has been recognized as benefit in ,
public school education-why not :
adopt the moving picture film? Then b,
it might be the. means of educating
he grown-ups to pay their school
axes with better grace-because they c
would be personally getting some
amusement and education out of the 7

GOOD INCUBATION HINTS

Follow the manufacturers d.

See that the incubator runs
steadily at the desired tempera-
ture before filling it with eggs.
Do not add fresh eggs to a tray
containing those which are un-

Turn the eggs twice daily aft
er the second and until the nine
teenth day. Turn them before
caring for the lamps. Cool them
once daily, according to the
weather, during this period.
Attend to the machine care
fully at regular hours.
Keep the lamp and wick clean.
Test the eggs on the seventh
and fourteenth days.
Do not open the machine aft

AS a rule cOwpeas should not be

if the vines are cat when most Of the
pods are full grown and a consider
able number of them are mature. At

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS of Delaware
are now facing period which must
be handled carefully for the best in
terests of the children who are to get
their education under new law which
was framed without deep considera-
tion, and which is to be supported
from the state treasury with the aid
of twenty-five cents tax upon real
estate in all parts of Delaware. The
budget as appropriated by the Legis-
lature is less by one-third of the bud
get submitted by the State Board of
Education, which was compiled from
the expenditures of the individual
school districts of the entire state for
the last school year. In Milford and
other towns, the appropriation for
maintenance of the schools, is about
half, of the estimated cost. In the
grammar schools where thirteen tea
chers are now employed, the budget
will not permit over eight teachers.
The other departments are hit in the
same ratio, and it will be a problem
for the local boards of education to |
solve without wrecking the schools.
The Milford Board of Education will
meet next Wednesday to consider the
question facing the schools and the
people of Milford. To conduct the
schools even on a restricted scale-it
will be necessary to have a special
tax levied for the districts composing
the schools of Milford This can only
be levied and collected by a referen-
dunn vote Of the taxables of this dis ;
trict at a special election held for ;
that purpose. AS the. matter stands
now-it will require about fifteen {
thousand dollars to be raised in addi- l
ton to what the legislature has pro-
vided, to maintain the public schools
after a severe restriction of all ex- I
Denditures has been made.

reversing the laws of time and man
ages to retain youthful appearance
with the vigor of youth, which he is
applying to make his weekly paper at

to the homes of residents of Della

migrated to other parts of the country.
The News was twenty years old last
week, and Jim" certainly must have
been sixty, but he will not confess to
anywhere near that record-and we
are prepared to believe him when he
says that he is only thirty in feelings
and activity. Jim" waited until late
in life to start the home building on
his own account, and only few years
ago he married lady of refinement
and mental helpmate. Since then
his newspaper has taken on a steady |

FINE SPEAKERS
AT ADVERTISING
CONVENTION

From the long list of live wire
advertising folks whose names
appear on the program as speakers
at the business sessions of the
Second Annual convention of the
New England Association of Adj
vertising clubs to be held in New
Haven October Is, Ia, and 18th,
one could easily compile a who's
who in Advertising; Blue Book
or Style Register in the advertis-
ing art. That so much of the ma
TONS most highly developed tai
ent, so many merchandising top
liners, have sent acceptance to
speak at this convention forcefully
indicates the real Importance they
attach to this gathering OF adver-
Using men, manufacturers and re-
tail merchants of New England.
This is a convention to stimulate
advertising. To accomplish that re-
suit is to stimulate business and in
that laudable enterprise every
business man should lend a willing
hand.
The New Haven Advertising
Association, if prominence of
speakers counts for anything and
it does in an affair of this kind,
has scored a smashing success in
this detail Of the convention ar
engagements. To briefly mention
the notable men whose names APP
pear on the speakers list is the
best evidence that can be given
that the convention will be worth
while to any one engaged in mer-
chanidsing any product.
There is Charles H. Bunting,
one of New England's foremost
advertising men. He is a member
of the Walter B. Snow Advertis-
ing Agency of Boston, Mass. Mr..
Bunting has just been added to
the list of speakers and his sub
ject will be "Wake up, New Eng
land" Mr.. Bunting will deal in
some bras-tack talk showing the
need for greater effort if New
England is to make good the claim
that it is holding its own in com
petition with other sections of the
country. He will use some lantern
slides and some sensational figures
to illustrate and give force to his
main point. His talk will be of UNI
told value to New England bust
ness interests and this one speech
alone will compensate for three
days spent at the convention.
But there are other real treats in
store for the members of the con-
vention.
Following are some of the other
distinguished men who are on the
speakers list and their subjects.
