In tubes is tremendous. A. standard

pure rubber and has strength of
between one and one and ore-half
tons per cross section inch. This
means that II the tube stock were

On an average It is possible to build

Ing. Inferior and wornout tubes
should be quickly discarded. The tube

When a tube fails to hold air it is
worthless.
AS general average in all services
1t has been found that pressure in a

a good tube is used will decrease about

ratio Is greatly exceeded, the tube

distance from the floor. Measure from
this string to the front and rear parts
Of the right front and rear tires. If
the distances are not equal, shift the
boxes or the steering wheel until they
are exactly. So. The string will then
be exactly parallel to the line Of the
wheels on that side.
. Then, with second pair of boxes
and string, do the same thing on the
left side, thereby obtaining another
line. When this is accomplished,
measure across from one line to the
other, making sure that these two are
equal distances from the wheels. Do
the same at the rear. If these two
measurements agree exactly, the wheels
are in alignment.-Popular Science

not let passion get the better of his judgment should realize that there is nothing to be gained through violence. A conference may lead to permanent peace.
 The British government is pre- pared to adopt more drastic meas ures should De Valera refuse to confer with the British premier and what would happen in distraught Ireland in that event is appalling to think about.
 Incidentally, with the British coal strike ended and the chances favor able for settling the Irish problem, Lloyd George has considerably strengthened his political position. If he should be able to reach an agreement with De Valera he would regain whatever prestige he has lost and reach new eminence as one of England's greatest premiers.

 that Congress shall express itself

Dur ing their wanderings up and down the course of the river they usually keep to what are known as bear Cor ridors," low tunnels through the brushwood along the fringe of the forest, some of which extend in al- most unbroken lines for three or four
 hundred miles. Several Of these Corridors" made by the bears. are reputed to be centuries old.
 During the short tropical summer the bears pass much of their tiIre among the groves of wild fruit and the haunts of their wild honey bees Mosquitoes in clouds torment tre4n, and the antics the poor bears are amusement than the rough-and -tum- ble play already described
 All bears before settling down in their berloga are given to roaming long distances in the search for a convenient spot. A retreat is pre- ferred that is ready for their recep
 tion, such as sandy cove near the river bank, or shelter offered by the shell hole" formed by an uproote1 tree. Lacking these, they will pro- ceed to make berloga for them selves, in the process of which they will collect and haul from a distance branches and brushwood with which to close the openings of their winter quarters, which are obliterated by the first fall of snow.
 The thawed patch above, however, which marks the breathing hole. gives them away should a party of hunters chance to pass the spot. The berloga does not consist merely Of a single cavity, but possesses a num- Der of smaller ones, branching off inside the main habitat. The bear, once aroused from sleep, makes his last stand in one of these reserve retreats and sells his coat dearly.

 O N authority on the prize ring
 N\ once said that any man of l7S z S pounds was big enough to fight all corners for the heavyweight championship. Bob Fitzsimmons never weighed as much nor did Tom Savers, the Englishman whom Heenan, the American fought for the heavyweight championship abroad Jim Mace, long tae best man in Eng land. was at his best at 175 pounos' and the gypsy fighter was tough mt to crack with or without gloves when he was past 50. While he was a clever boxer and hard hitter With each hand, it was his footwork which made him great.
 One of the best assets of the man of 175 pounds or thereabouts-Car- pentier. it Is said, will scale between ITO and 175-is stiffness. A fighter can have no more useful quality than abi. ty to escape the attacks of an adversary while at the same time maintaining position ip which ad- vantage may be taken of openings as they offer themselves.
 Between Dempsey and Carpenter there is difference of 20 pounds in favor of Dempsey, and the American is re ,koned the harder hitter. Car pentier, however. carries a punch whose effectiveness cannot be ques- toned. In the ring he is marvel of agility. What he has shown in his training at Manhasset is only sam ple of his skill in t.sis respect.
 E Dempsey is in position in which he must fight or lose caste. He can not hope to wal. for .he lighter man to carr,- the battle to him. The quick wit and nimble legs of the French idol may thus counterbalance the sledge hammer tactics of Dempsey.
 An interesting point has been raised by students of the prize ring who foresee a victory for Dempsey. They declare that the best of the worlds great pugilists have been of the dark type, citing as illustrations Mace, Sullivan and Dempsey to sup port their argument. Carpenter is blond. Thee have been few good fighters of that complexion. Joe Choynski was one of the best. Bot Fitzsimmons was red headed. Fight ing goes with that brand of hair as naturally as frecklcs. So the lank, champion may be eliminated from l consideration in our analysis of this alleged phenomenon.

Success of Steam Barge
rom the Mobile Register.

From the Mobile Register.
 The success of the barging business depends upon the Rind of service given. This is well recognized and efforts are made to change barglng methods which, since ancient times, have been slow and uncertain, ana which naturally could not compete with rail methods. Nowadays, the as-propelled barge is doing excel- lent work, as is shown by the arrivai of such a barge in Jersey City with the equivalent of S3 carloads of grain from Duluth, Minn., making the trip on water within the United States and in less than 13 running days, the average freight train time for like distance being 15 days. The freight costs were 42 per cent less than the rail rate. There is further saving, as the vessels machinery enables her to load in three hours and unload in six. which is faster than the unload ing of bulk grain. brought by rail.
 Now that the waterway carriers are competing successfully with the rail carriers. their performance indicates that there is practically no boundary or limit to the expansion of this form of service, for the waterways can accommodate very great traffic without danger of congestion. All that Is needed is more barges; and these will be supplied as the business demands increase.
 It should be added that the enlarge ment of the waterway service does not mean the crippling of the rail service by depriving it of patronage but the encouragement of industry and the increase of Industrial output that should make a greater amount of manufactured goods for the rail- roads to carry. Every new facility has had the effect of increasing hu- man activity and adding to the well being of the people. So, 1t should be expected that the waterway service, spnnlementing the rail service, that has proved inadequate in days of emergency. will be of equal benefit giving the country what it requires in the great work that has to be done for it's nroper development.

WHY cAL1FoRNIANs PROTEST

Vernon Kellogg, in the July Yale Re-
 view.
 One of the points in the problem of Japanese immigration, for exam pie. which is not sufficiently obvious to iaany of us, especially those of us not living on the Pacific coast, is the marked difference in the quality of two typcs, which are really differ ent biological strains, of the Jap anese arrivals in America. Tor many generations the sumurai class, in cluding the rulers and warriors of Japan, have closely inbred, leaving the rest of the people to d~yelop as great group with distinctly infe- rior hereditary endowment. Most of the, Japanese students, members of the' government missions, and sue cessful business men who come to America, and who are almost the only Japanese seen by Americans not the samurai class. But the great bulk of the Japanese immigrants ses tied in California and other Pacific ce ast states as laborers, servants and litt.s shopkeepers, are of the coolie class They are of the strain biolog- ically different from and distinctly inferior to the sumarai. It is against their coming in swarms, to live in comIuIt groups, racially and cultur- ally aiocf from the rest of the Amer ican population. that the Californiaas protest.
