VIGILANCE Will
SAVE CAR TIRES
Driver Should Realize Proper
Care Is important to Secure
Maximum Service.
GO EASY OVER ROUGH ROADS
Make Careful Examination at Least
Once Every Week and Seal Up
Small Holes With Cement
Avoid Wet Crushed Stones.

Tires are really wonderful pieces of
work. 1t is remarkable that they
stand up as well as they do when
you consider the car weight, speed
and rough roads encountered. Yet
The average driver is apt to say that
tires make him tired-especially after
ne has to invest in one or more. He
should realize their good qualities and
not think they should stand any
amount of abuse and still give maxi
mum service Having learned this
proper respect. the next thing is a
proper care through their heightened
career.
To keep down the cost per mile
there are some things the owner must
10. The manufacturers of most tires
.ssue pamphlet telling how the tire
Is made and how to take care Of it.
Get it and read carefully and follow
the advice given.
Look After Small Cuts.
But, despite your care, there will be
cuts in the rubber tread. Go over the
Tres regularly once week or oftener
and look for these cuts. Small ones
should be sealed with cement before
they get big. Larger cuts may need
he putty-like repair material to be
had Of the supply dealer or may need
vulcanizing. But it should be at
tended to at once. Water will get into
the fabric and 1t rots in amazingly
short time, and then vulcanizing does
no good, for the strength of the fabric
is gone. Sand works in as well as
water and makes "blisters' alongside
the tread.
Pressure on tires should be kept
at the figure given by the manufacture
er, not by guessing, but by gauge,
the same as those in use. A car sys-
tematically overloaded will wear out
tires faster; procure oversize tires to
correct this evil
Grease softens rubber. Keep the
tires free.
Fast driving heats the tires, with
faster wear, besides magnifying the
bumps and giving side swing which
grlnds the tires over the road.
If the front wheels are out of
alignment it also grinds off the
tHead.:
A harsh clutch does the same thing
in starting abruptly, and brakes APP
piled too rapidly also slide the
wheels.
Brakes unevenly adjusted cause
one tire to slide and grind.
Whirling around corners sometimes
makes all four tires slide, even when
there is no bad skid.
Here Is Good Tip.
On a wet day avoid roads where
crushed stone has been newly applied.
Rubber workers In all the vulcanizing
shops wet the knives with which they
cut the rubber. Wet stones with
sharp corners slice tire like
knife.
Inner tubes puncture, but may be
patched easily with the handy kits
sold in tire stores, and there are
handy vulcanizing outfits for larger
cuts which may be carried in the car.
BlOwouts should be taken to the vul-
canizer. New methods enable the
expert to do wonders with tubes we
used to throw away.
The manufacturer tries to show you
how to save tire cost, and along with
this the fellow who follows his advice
generally has less road troubles with
tires than he who neglects them per
sistently.

WAsTEFUL DRIPPINGs OF OIL
Leaks From Cap Screws Make Fright
fully Messy Engine and Should
Be Attended to.

Oil drips frequently come from the
cap screws being loose on the crank
case, from the bearings, from the
plungers or tappets above the cam
shaft. In addition to being wasteful,
drips of this kind make frightfully
messy engine and should be attended
to promptly. In some cases where
oil drips from the bearings the fan
picks it up and scatters 1t ever the

REFUGEES FROM RUSSIAN

the Associated Press. 1.-The 5000
refugees from the recent Krpn-
stadt revolution In Russia who are
quartered In Finnish concentration
camps here and at Ino have just
given a striking example of boil
shevik discipline.
The refugees are being fed by
American Red Cross officers. The
other day, one Of them was caught
by his fellows in the act of steal
ing a larger share of food than
was due him.
The others formed q committee,
tried the man, found him guilty
of stealing food. and then ap-
peared before a Red Cross officer.

Informed that this was Finland,
and not bolshevik Russia, the COM
mittee was momentarlly disap-
pointed.
"But he must be punished" they
insisted.
"All right" said the officer, "but
no shooting goes here"
The committee then made the
thief strip, although the weather
was bitterly cold, formed a long
line in the woods. including about
$50 men, and made the guilty man
run naked 100 times from one end
of the line to the other, shouting

Discipline in these refugee camps
has been excellently maintained
through orders of Stephen Petri-
chenko, the 29-year-old sailor who
was president of Kronstadt and the
leader of the revolt. Yet the Fin
nish authorities are much worried
over their presence in Finland. The
kronstadt men, which opposed the
communists, are a bit too radical
In their views to suit the Finnish
authorities, who have had red
problem at home for long time.
This. and the fear that the
American Red Cross cannot con-
tinue to feed them indefinitely
has caused Finland to consider va
rious means of getting rid of these
5000 and the $4,000 other Rus
sian refugees who ara In the coun.

have the league OF nations take

a diet containing large quantity
of fats, found it so rich that they
were i'll and their dict had to be

1t was emphasized officially,
however, that the chief question
was not whether the proposals as
such were acceptable to the allies,
but whether they could be regard
ed as the basis for renewed discus
sions from which satisfactory
rterms might eventuate.
Administration officers still
maintained silence as to the reply
that would be made to Germany
but 1t was learned that none had
been prepared tonight Secretary
Hughes had not yet heard from
Italy and Japan, whose ENJOYS he
received Tuesday after the German
proposals had arrived. Whether
a reply will be delayed until WORD
comes from Rome and Toxic re-
mains to be developed.
Since the German offer is to be
considered by the supreme council
Saturday there were some sugges-
tions that the American reply
might be held up pending further
decision by the premiers. While
admittedly without official infor-
nation, others believed that to-
days messages had been of such
a nature as to enable the American
government to proceed with the
next step in the exchanges with
Berlin.
Statements today by Premiers
Lloyd George of Great Britain and
BRAND of France, that the German
offer was unacceptable. were re-
ceived by officials with manifest
interest. Comment, however, as
well as the semi-official announce
ment at Berlin that Germany was
prepared to modify its proposals If
requested to do so by the United
States, WAS refused.
President Harding Is to return
early tomorrow from Hampton
Roads and it is expected that Sec
retary Hughes will acquaint him
carly in the day with the nature of

dent had called an international
disarmament conference. Seeing
the tangle over time for debate
the amendment was put to vote
and defeated.
The clash of the day was pre-.
cipitated by Representative Byrnes
democrat, South Carolina, who
sought to ascertain the real cause
of postponing hearings by the for
eign affairs committee on a dis
armament resolution and at which
Secretary Hughes had been invited
to outline the views of the Harding
administrator Mr. Byrnes did moi
get very far with his inquiry.
Representatives Differ.
The subject was brought ur
again, however, by Representative
Flood, Virginia, ranking democrat
on the committee. who took excep'
tion to the statement Of Represen'
tative Mondell. Wyoming, republi'
can leader, that the house was
willing to trust the committee In
all matters affecting foreign pol
icy.
Mr.. Flood declared the republi-
can leadership did not trust it last
session when it failed to permit
consideration of the Brooks disar'
mament resolution, reported out by
the committee.
After the discussion the mem
-bers still were unadvised as to why
the committee had delayed hear
ings.
The hope was expressed by Mr.
Mondell that conference of the
nations would be called before the
close of congress.
