 The slope of the road causes the right rear tire to carry more weight than the left rear tire. Thus the right rear wears the faster of the two. The right front also will wear more rapidly than the left front, for the same reason.
 However. as the left rear wheel receives 6 driving pull while the right front does not it will wear the faster of the two. Under average conditions the right rear tire wears out first and the left from last

RELATIVE TIRE WEAR

From Motor Life.
 The fact that tires on the right -hand sde of a car wear out faster in propor ton than those on the left-hand side often puzzles motorists. The popular sup position that this wear is caused by turn ing many corners to the right is in- correct The fact is that the increased wear is actually caused by the pitch of the road, which throws more of the car on the right side than on the left

the immortals, who always will be revered and
honored by their country.
But we can add nightly to the welfare of
thousands of disabled men who are the physical
wrecks of sound specimens of manhood that a
few years ago left home and fireside to fight for
great principle. Our sense of justice and graft
tude ought to be shamed every time we hear of
the dilatory tactics that attend the granting of
compensation and medical relief for these men,
our brothers and sons. Physically unfit to do a
full days work, sometimes too weak to walk,
thousands of them are hoping that the American
sense of fair play will soon assert itself in ire
mendous might to demand that their cases re-
ceive attention at once.
What good does it do to pay honor to the
dead when, in superlative negligence, we permit
the living heroes to suffer for want of medical
attention and sometimes for the ordinary neces-
sites of life? Certainly patriotism is more than
a reverent respect for the dead. Real patriotism
embraces the living, and proves by deeds that
the nation requites splendidy and effectively the
men who fought and bled for it. These men
have claims on our patriotism which we cannot
overlook and ignore.
A disabled veteran who grows weary of wait
ing for relief is an indictment of our sloth and
negligence. We have permitted month after
month to slip by without changing methods that
make for such conditions. Let us honor the dead
by making happy the living. Certainly no
unknown" soldier would care to be buried with
military pomp and splendor in our national GENE
terry if he knew that, while the ceremonies were
being conducted in his honor, thousands of his
fellow soldiers, men who fought as valiantly as
he did but who escaped DEATH are being shame
fully neglected by the republic.

Honor the Living Soldier

No one will find fault with the suggestion of
Gen. Pershing that the body of soldier buried
as unknown" shall be brought from France for
intermentain the national cemetery as mark of
honor to those who served as privates; and yet
almost all of us would be intensely gratified to
know that the government had set agoing the
machinery whereby the disabled living soldier
would receive not only justice but more than that
for his services
The unknown" soldier whose body will be
returned to this country has no need of new
honor, neither have the thousands who lie en-
tombed in France with markers establishing
their identity. But the thousands of soldiers
who are suffering from disability caused by the
bullet and bayonet of the enemy, by the poison
Gus gas which they inhaled, the infir1nties
which followed their training in the camps at
home-heroes who are living lives of privation
and discomfiture-have need of the nations at
tention.
We can add little to the glory which the
heroes who died in France earned for themselves
and their republic. We cannot detract from the
immortal fame which they won for themselves
and for American arms. They are listed among
