COTTON FABRIC FOUNDATION
 OF ALL TIRES

Cotton fabric is the foundation upon which an automobile tire is built. It is used to give stability and strength. There are two we'll known classes of tires-the square woven fabric and the cord tire.
 In the square-woven fabric tire the threads in each ply run in both di- rections, alternating over and under the cord tire, the threads or cords in each ply run parallel with the ex- ception of a few small cross threads, used simply to hold the cords togeth- CT while they are being impregnated with the rubber compound
 The life of a tire would be greatly increased if internal friction could be eliminated. The internal friction caused by intermittent distortion of the tire in use is the result of the friction of the threads upon each oth- CT and the strains and stresses set up in the rubber compound. Natuf- ally the fabric which gives the least room for internal friction will give the longest life to the tire.
 Since square-woven fabric cannot be thoroughly impregnated with rubber at the points where the threads cross, heXing at these points will cause a saving action and gen. erating of internal heat It has been demonstrated very clearly by experiment, according to the United States Tire company, that. when the temperature resulting from internal heat reaches 230 degrees, vulcanized rubber ceases to function as an ad- hesive compound, crumbles into min ute particles which fail to resume their original condition, causing the compound to lose it's function in the tire. This causes separation, weak ness and finally a blowout. It may be interesting to know that 265 de- greeS is not an uncommon temper ature reached in a tire when driven at hiCh SnPPd the Tnad- this is particularly true of large truck tires.
 In the case of cord tires, each thread is embedded in the rubber compound and the internal friction is reduced to a minimum. A brief summary of the advantages derived from the use of cord tires would in c1ude easier riding, due to greater resiliency; saving of gasoline and oil; saving of machinery, and more miles per dollar.

SCHOOLS HAVE
 "BL0CK SYSTEM"

Hartford, Sept 24--Schools in some sections of the state have decided upon 'block system to help re- duce the number of accidents to chil- dren in city streets, By this meth cd, children are being taught not to cross a street when there is an au- tomobile in the block.
 Accidents to children do not hap pen, according to state authorities, when the children are attentive, but always when their minds are distract ed by something else. so that the main object in the "block system" plan is to stimulate general watch fitness. If this can be accomplish ed, it is believed that the number of pupils killed on their way home from school will be greatly diminished.
 This particular effort of Safety of the fact that approximately 3 per cent. of all persons killed by au- tomobiles are children under IS years old. At the same time various auto mobile organizations of the state are cooperating with the Motor Vehicle pressing on drivers the need of ex- treme care when passing through sections where children are at play. The National Saafety Council cau- tionS drivers to assume that every child on or near the street is going to dash suddenly in front of their cars. For the reason that drivers cannot tell by looking at a child what it is going to do. the drivers are ad- vised to drive slowly and have abSo- lute control of their cars.
 Records show that in nine cases out of ten, in fatal accidents where a pe- destrian is killed. he comes into the something. This is almost always the case with children.

 EDUCATION IS GREAT NEED

created in Illinois.
 To use her own expression. Miss Abbott "came up from the ranks to her present position.
 She learned early in her welfare work that to accomplish the most good welfare work must be started with children So in 1917 she came to Washington as director of the Child Labor Division of the Chil- dren's Bureau of the Department of Labor.
 Champion of Children
 This division administered the first Federal child labor law, and Miss Alp bolt was, from the beginning, respon- sible for the formation and develop ment of it's policies.
 Feeling that she ought to get into work more closely allied with the war, Miss Abbott transferred her abfl- fties to the War Labor Policies Board and rendered able, efficient service until the war closed
 And there's the story" she con- c1uded.
 That was not quite the end, for a few dags ago President Harding se- lected her from a. horde of applicants to head the ChHdren's Bureau, in which she has labored so diligently as a divisional chief. The position pays S5,oO0 9. year and is one of the most eagerly sought positions in Washington.
 SIe mas entered upon heT new du- ties with a vigor and close application to duty that set hard example for her associates.
 It was sweltering late September afternoon when the question was pro- pounded to her of what is the crying need of the American child. Outside thousands of government clerks were hurrying down the heat-waved streets, their day finished But Miss Abbott stuck grinly to her desk, per- spring. it is true, but sticking She keeps no union hours
 Education is the keystone" she said simply 'eThat is our principal aim. You see, our funds and our personnel are too limited to do direct contact work.so we must content our selves with preaching, teaching and instructing.

York lodge visitors but not Valley of Mexico lodge visitors while the situa- tion in Ohio, Masons say, was exactly reversed. nize either York or the Valley of Mexico lodges, and a few other states took a similar stand, but numerous states recognized one or the other branches of Masonry in Mexico, ere ating situation that was bewiId ering at times
 Favorable to Mexico Lodge
 Steps to have commission of Ma were first taken by Mexico City Lodge No.35, of the Valley of Mexico branch of the order. This lodge was formed by Americans who had reached the conclusion that the laws of Masonry required that the Grand Lodge of a country should be national organi- zation, with full national Jurisdiction
 The coming of the commission was also welcomed by prominent members of the York branch
 In the commission sent to study conditions in Masonry here are Grand Master Andrew L. RandeH, of Texas; |; Past Grand Master Albert Adams, of California, and Past Grand Masters A A Ross, Sam P. Cochran and w. M Fly of Texas With the party were Grand Master Bain, of Louisiana. R. W. Humphreys. of the Texas Grand Lodge, and other noted members of the order.
 The commission began it's work inn mediately after arriving here- Repre- sentatives of the York Grand Lodge and the Grand Lodge of the Valley of Mexico were heard, and a careful ef- fort was made to ascertain the causes of the conditions which brought about division in Masonry in Mexico.
 No announcement has been made by members of the commission as to the conclusions reached, but it is said that they have left the conviction here that they will report in favor of uniting the Masons in Mexico under the Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the Valley of Mexico.

MASONIC ORDER DISRUPTED IN
 MEXICO TEMPORARILY, PROPOSE
 MERCER OF LODGES AS SOLUTION
Confusion Over Jurisdiction Rights of Two Lodges Re sulting From General Unrest in Mexico Believed
 Settled by American Commission.

Mexico City, Sept 24-Ieadfng Ma sons in Mexico say that the confer ence here btween Mexican and Ameri- can members of the order has result ed in an understanding through which the gulf between Masonry in the two countries will soon be bridged
 The difficulties began ten years ago and grew out of the confusion brought about by the revolutions. The tangle brought forward many compii- cated questions of Jurisdiction, as the Masons in Mexico had become divided into two groups. one supporting the York Grand Lodge and the other the Grand Lodge of the Valley of Mexico In the York jurisdiction were chiefly Americans, who had been puzzled as to where to cast anchor during Mexi- CO.'S days of unrest In the Valley of Mexico jurisdiction were chiefly Mex jeans, who held that under the laws of Masonry grand jurisdiction in each couitry should be national and free from encroachment.
 This contention has received the support of influential Americans in Mexico and, it is said, will receive the endorsement of the commission of American Masons in a report which will be made on it's return to the United States.
 Plan Merger of Lodges
 If the plan is carried out as report ed, the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of the Valley of Mexico will be recognized by the Masonic Order in the United States, and the York lodges will accept this decision This will mean the merging of the York Grand Lodge with the Grand Lodge of the Valley of Mexico and the com plete union of Masonry in this coun- try, all lodges being under Mexican jurisdiction
 A solution of present riddles will relieve Masons in Mexico of many em- barrassments when they visit the United States. In the past prominent Masons would be received by their brethren in some states and not in others As an example, MaSons in Indiana would welcome as brethren

KOOSIER DOCTOR
 PROBES SICK WINDS

Honolulu, T. H., Sept. 24.-The eff fleet of storms and other atmospheric disturbances upon the climate. the health, minds and activities of the peoples of the Pacific and upon agri- culture and industry is being studied here by Dr. Stephen s. Visher, asso- ciate professor of geography at the University of Indiana, who received the Bishop Museum Fellowship from Yale University this year.
 'HThe effect of storms upon ships at sea has been studied extensively. but little thought has been given to the influence of storms upon the health, minds and activities of people in the storm-swept regions" he said in ex- plaining his work ITO this subject I will devote at least a year of study in the Pacific islands, gathering to- gether all the known data, which, with my own observations will be published
 The Kona winds, the most severe which reach Hawaii, will be observ- ed very closely by Dr. Visher, he said. come the trade winds, we have a cane, strike the southern part of the island of Oohu, known as the kona district, and, according to Hawaiian tradition bring sickness upon the ln- habitants.
 '-The Kona wind results from a diff ference in inteisity, in low air press ure areas,'' Dr. 4Visher explained. "If this wind is strong enough to over ocme the trade winds. we have a strong southerly wind, sometimes called the sick wind because it is hot and depressing. These winds travel from 50 to 100 miles an hour in this region but their velocity be- comes much greater near China and the Indies.''
 Dr. Visher will spend several months in the FI.t Islands, studying the winds there and then will pro- ceed to the Tongan and Samoan 1s- lands, returning to Honolulu to as- semble and complete his data for notification
