EASY TO REPAIR
TIRES ON ROAD

The development of materials which
make the repairing operation a very
simple matter has eliminated most
of the discomfort of making an emer-
gency tire repair on the road. About
all a motorist need carry in his tool
box for the tire troubles is a cold
patch kit for inner tube repairs, some
blow out patches for repairs to casing
some tire tape and a heal-a-cut out
fit for filling up bad cuts in the sur
face of the casing.
With cold patch kit, says bulletin
of the United States Tire Company
an inner tube can be permanently re-
paired in few minutes with the
big saving in time ami bother, as
every one knows who has vulcanized
a patch to a. tube. The cold patch kit
consists of small tin can contain
ing a metal buffer for roughening the
surface of the tube around the hole or
slit, tube Cf cement and a sheet of
rubber.
All that driver can hope to do,
when casing blows out and he has
no spare, is to make a temporary re-
pal that will" enable him to finish his
journey. He will find his best friend
for this purpose in never-creep blow
out patch. On each side is a flap that
can be locked between the bead and
the rim to keep the patch from creep
ing away from the injured spot.
Tire ttpe ought always to form part
of a cars emergency equipment be-
cause of the many ways in which it
is useful in case of trouble. The
fourth necessary item, heal-a-cut, is
soft tire dough which is used to fill
up cuts in the surface of the easing.
If used it will prolong the life of cas-
ings that have suffered bad cuts.

location of the first institution before
his departure. Choice of localities, he
added, would be made upon approval
of the president.

In it's race across the desert sands
the water undermined the state high
way in a dozen places, cutting back
under the pavement for three or four
feet on both sides and making the
highway hazardous for heavy traffic.
The tracks of the San Diego & Ari-
zona railroad suffered similar fate
and as result the rails and ties are
in number of places hanging in mid
air with the earth washed out to a
depth of more than ten feet below the
original level of the tracks. Two work
trains were sent to the area yesterday
and large crews of men were kept at
work all night and all day today try
ing to repair the damage, but they
made but little headway, because of
the large amount of work which must
be done before trains can again be run
over the tracks. .N.'.@
No estimate Of the length of time
required for repairing the tracks suf-
ficlently to permit of passage of the
trains had been completed by the en-
gineers this afterno\l, but it is said
at the local ticket office that it will
be at least two days before the tracks
can be rebuilt enough to allow trains
to cross. Passengers from the east
bound train were brought to this city
by automobile yesterday ..ed the SER
vice has been temporarily suspended.
At noon today the water had run
off most of the high land between
Salt Creek and DiXieland, but the
lower areas were still under water
varying in depth from six inches to
about three feet More than a mile of
the state highway is still under water
east of theDixieland bridge, but the
edge of the pavement has been marked
with stakes and automobiles can ne
gotiate the stretch at slow speed.
Last night many machines ran off
the pavement and had to be 6Llled
back by big truck. A few also went
off today while passing other vehicles
owing to the drivers trying to crowd
too close to the edge OF the pavement
The water began receding about
most of it, but today the recession is
much slower and it is the opinion OF
many that the water will stand for
several days on large part of the
inundated land. Much Of the water is
being held on the land by railroad
embankments and lateral canal which
Joins the west side main canal north
west of the flooded area, making il
possible for only the high lands to be
drained into Salt Creek. la. =.
Preparations were begun today fol
repairing the Westside main cana
which supplies water to No. s, and No
II, and until the ditch is rebuilt the
entire area supplied by No. will be
without water. 1t is estimated today
that it may be two weeks, or possible 9
longer time, before the ditch can bt
rebuilt. The ditch banks were entirely
washed away in some places and th'

COUNTRY BANKS
To Be FEATURE
NATIONAL MEET
Tentative Plan for Handling of
Farm Loans by Existing In
stitutiOns is Suggested.

The subject Of Country Banks and
Farm Finance" will be a feature of
the program of the state bank divi-
sion of the American Bankers asso-
citation at the Laos Angeles conven-
ton.
There is no disposition on the part
of state bankers to criticize the fed
eral farm loan system, but the idea
has been suggested that the scheme
would have been more successful if
it had utilized existing banks author
lied to take farm mortgages, rather
than create new local loan associations
The idea has also been expressed
that some central institution might
be created by private capital that
would re-discount farm mortgages for
local banks and issue dehentures on
the basis of such collateral. Such a
plan would be in accordance with
the method under which federal re-
serve banks rediscount commercial
paper for members.
Plans for the program of the ma
tional bank division are being whip
ped into shape and a preliminary an
nouncement will be made probably
next week, according to Deputy Man
ager f. E. Mountjoy, who was in New
York last week.
Additional reports from secretaries
Of the state banking associations
ahow that the attendance at Los An
geles Oct. TO 7 will probably be
from 5000 to 4C@0. Delegates are
urged again to let H. F. Stewart
chairman of the Los Angeles hotel
committee what reservations they
want as soon as possible.
Clay H. Hollister, president of the
olG National bark of Grand Rapids
Mich, will address the clearing house
section at the Los Angeles convention
on "The Clearing House, Factor in
American Commerce at Home and
Abroad" Mr. Hollister has just re-
turned from an extensive trip abroad
where he made a very through study
Of conditions.
Announcement of the annual meet
ing of the savings bank division o:
the American Bankers association, in
connection with the annual conven-
ton of the parent organization in Los
Angeles, shows that the following
subjects will be discussed:
Savings bank advertising. real es-
tate mortgage investments, savings
fund legislation, school savings bank
ing, public economy, practical indus
trial savings systems, and the pro-
posed changes in the United States
postal savings system.

When the flood was at its peak last
night the water was only few feet
from the roadway across the Salt
Creek bridge and it was washing over
the top of the Dixieland bridge. Fear
ing that the Salt Creek structure
would 60 out and that someone would
drive into the chasm Under Sheriff
Harry Barker and other officers from
the sheriff's office spent most of the
night in the vincinity to guard the
bridge and render any assistance to
flood sufferers who might be neces-
sary.
All of those who We're caught by
the flood succeeded IN reaching high
er ground unassisted with one ex-
ception. A woman and child were
marooned on, top of a haystacN all
night and until about 10 o'clock this
morning according to report receiv-
ed in this city. One report made to
Under Sheriff Barker this morning
w.s to the effect that about twentj
women and children were still III the
flooded area where they were ma
rooned on the tops of buildings and
hay stacks without food. He made a
hurried trip to the flood area and
found the report to be untrue.
Many of the farm houses were
flooded to a depth of three feet or
more and one of the buildings is said
to have been carried about half a
mile by the water. Although the
water washed away but little OF the
growing crops it is said that they
will all be ruined because of the en-
cess of water which has covered them
for more than "a hours. M. B. Bob"
Davis will be amCng the heaviest IN
dividual losers. his 220 acres of maize
being inundated and ruined. Many
others suffered the same fate as
Davis. Many tons of hay We're des-
troyed by the water and a large quan-
tity of milo maize which had been
headed and was ready for threshing
was spoiled by the water. Cotton also
was damaged. but it is believed that
the loss on this crop will be compar"
atively light as compared with other

BURIAL SERVICE
SENT BY WIRELESS
(By Associated Press)


LIVERPOOL, Aug. 24-During a re-
cent voyage Of the Carmania from
America, a request was received in
the ships wireless room from another
vessel asking for the transmission to
her by. wireless of the words of the
burial service.
The reason for this unusual request
was that fireman on board the Can
adian Government steamer, Canadian
Trapper, had been taken i'll on the voy-
age and had died and the captain dis
covered that there was no copy of
the Prayer Book on board.

When ZR-2 started out on her trial
trip from Howden on Tuesday she had
on board Commander Louis Maxfield,
United States Navy, who had been
designated to bring the airship from
England to the United States; Brig
adler General S. Maitland, British air
marshall; Col. R. Campbell, who sup
ervised the designing of the dirigible
five other American officers, seven
engineers and four riggers, in add-
ton to the regular British cew.s The
ZR-2 was the largest airship ever
built
A London dispatch of last Sunday
quoted the Observer, as saying that
during the first trials of the airship
the tendency of the giant dirigible to
hump developed and an inspection re-
vealed that certain girders had bent
and lattice work has buckled under
the strain. Remedial measures were
taken, the newspaper said, and the
damage rectified as far as possible.
The purchase price of the dirigible
was $2,000,000. This it is assumed
was to become effective after the air
craft had complied her trials and de-
| livery was accepted by the American
authorities. The monetary loss appar-
emily falls on the contractors.
LONDON, Aug. 24-The giant Air
ship ZR2, purchased by the United
States from Great Britain, exploaded
over the city of Hull, while on its
trial trip, according to advices rece.-
we'd at o'clock this afternoon. Teh
wreck of the great dirigible fell into
i the River Humber and it is believed
that there must have been some loss
of life.
The airship was passing over Hull
going in fine style, when suddenly it
was seen to break in two. Thit was
instantly followed by a terrific ex
plosion and the airship burst into
flames and began falling. Three para
chutes were seen to leave the vessel.
