WEST PRIMED TO

By SANDY McNIBLICK

You can really say that an Fastener
has won the amateur golf champion
ship of these United States for the last
seven years unless YOU count s. David
son Herron's victory in 1919.
Heron was Pittsburgher, however,
and now he's a Chicagoan, to make it
unanimous. Francis Ouimet won the
amateur in 1914. which is the last time
an Atlantic Coaster has stepped in.
This year il looks to be close to GER

Dis the title now, n Chicagoan, and
IL he falls down the West is confident
that somebody from that district out
there will Sub" for him.
There are many things that make this
reasonable. In the first place the play
will be at st. Louis, long way from
home for the Fasteners. and it is rea-
sonable to suppose that the invaders
will be- greatly outnumbered by the
home talent. The course itself Is said
not to differ essentially from the East.

OVERLOAD WILL
DESTROY TIRES
SpreckIes Savage" Tire
Co. Offers Suggestions

Overlooking tires causes the same
general damage AZ does undsr-infla-
ton. Overloaded tires bruise and
jab more readily. Also they are
more apt TO rim-cut and puncture.
SO states a recent bulletin from the
service department of the spreckeis
"Sava-o~ Tire Co.
When used under proper cordi-
tions--that IL. properly inflated and
not overioaded-a correctly con
structed tire retains Its normal
shape and the shocks and strains
incident to travel over the road are
evenly distributed thruout every
portion OF the carcass. However.
when thru overlooking or under-in-
flation. the tire is forced out OF It's
natural shape. certain parts Of the
tire are unduiy strained to such an
extent that deterioration. separation
% the fabric. and premature break
ing down OF the carcass OF the tire
frequently results.
Many cars are often taxed beyond
the loads for which they are In
tended. In such cases an oversize
tire offers the correct solution for
this problem. An oversize tire may
care for the extra load and prevent
the undue strain.

Auto Buyers Are Demanding
Endurance, Not Swiftness

The motoring public is educating
itself into body of comfort and
service seekers. Less and less do
automobile dealers set demands Tor
speed and power. insted there
comes an increased call for endur-
ance. ease and comfort.
Al n recent census OF automobile
owners throughout the country. the
American Automobile Association
found that most OF the automobile
purchasers today demand endurance
above all requisites In a car. There
fore. manufacturers have directed
their efforts toward more efficient
engines. sturdter chassis and. most
important of all. good service.
For endurance. power and speed
have been sacrificed TO large ex'
tent. Fourcylinder cars have never
been as popular as they are today.
Out OF some 100 car models
manufactured today. los have six
cylinder engines and more than 80
have four cylinders. But there are

Ease and comfort. IN riding have
been the aim OF engineers who are
concentrating on spring and chassis
designs.
The arrival OF the enclosed car
has been another step toward max.
ing driving as comfortable for the
motorist as possible. IL has meant
less speed and greater strain on the
engine. but It's rapid growth In
popularity proves the decline In tho

TO TlFLlS CUT
Wireless Silent; Railroad
Bridges Blown Up and
Wires Are Cut.

Constantinoplc. Feb. 20.-Tifis,
capitol of Georgia. which fell into the
hands of Bolshcviki forces last week,
is apparently cut off from communi-
ction with the outside world. The
city's wireless is silent. and railway
and telegraph lines to Batum have
been cut by the blowing up of bridges.
The Georgian authorities are making
belated attempts to mobilize then
forces and are requisitioning supplies.
On paper the Georgian army has a
possible strength of 200, 900 men, be-
sides the regular army of 10000.
The great stores of foreign goods in
Tifis make it the richest prize that
has fallen into the hands Of the Bol-
sheviki for a long time past. Italians
are said to be the heaviest losers in
goods in the fall of the city. The
most remarkable feature Of the seiz-
ure of Tifis was the s~uddenness of the
assault of the Soviet forces. which
caught the allied representatives by
surprise.
One of the objects of the reported
plan of the Bolsheviki eventually to
obtain possession Of Batum. on the
Black Sea-. is to use the port as an
export outlet for the Baku oil field.
1t is also declared hat the Moscow
government ordered the seizure of the
Georgian republic at his time in or
der to embarrass the Near East con-
ference. which Is to begin its sessions
in London Tuesday. and also to
strengthen the Soviet forces by re-
cruiting militia.l
