RIGHT WAY TO PLACE.
inner TUBE IN CASE
First Thing to Do Is to Partly
Initiate It.
Bad Practice to Allow II to Rest on
Ground or Garage Floor, Thus
Picking Up Particles Of Sand,
Cinders or Oil.

Unexpected outbursts from inner
tubes originate from sins Of omission
and commission. BY emphasizing the
more glaring ones 1t is believed the
motorist can be saved the dollars that
would otherwise be wasted.
Haste in replacing punctured or
blOwn-out tubes Is one trouble. The
right way to place tube into cas-
ing Is to first partly initiate it. Then
it should be applied carefully. the side
bearing the stem always being kept In
sight. When 1t Is in the casing 1t
should be talced carefully and the fin
gers forced all around the tire to make
sure that tale has been evenly dis
tributed. A tube never should be in
serted unless partially inflated.
In pumping tube before insertion
most motorists allow 1t to rest on the
ground or on the floor Of the garage
This practice Is wrong. It allows the
tube to pick up particles Of sand. Gin
ders and oil, which create friction and
eventually tiny holes.
The right way is to place the tube
over the left shoulder and pump with
the right hand. Thus no portion Of
the tube will be allowed to touch the
road or pavement. When tube Is well
rounded with air and free from
wrinkles 1t is ready for Insertion In
the casing. and then should be pumped
to the prescribed pressure.

moved by this incident to investigate
the subject and he found that cats,

In 1871 noted player on the harp

eat, rich and sufficient without being
eked out by bread crumbs, and served
upon individual plates, belonging one
to each cat" Her relatives broke the
will, and this provision of separate
plates for the pussies was a point up
on which they strongly dwelt in the
attempt to prove that her mind was

OBEDIENCE AS AN INSTINCT
else It Even Before They Have
Left the Shell.

The obedience of young birds to the
mother has been the subject of many
stories. Two young thrushes had re-
mained perfectly still, while Mr.. Rob-
inson was passing near a nest when
he saw some young ones leave it and
disappear into the water in that won
derful way common to all amphibious
creatures right up to the hippopo-
tamus, almost without a ripple. He
found in the nest one egg, which was
being cracked from the insde-all
birds are hatched with a little prOjec-
tion something like glaciers diamond
on their bills for this purpose-and
the youngster was cheeping as 1t wrig-
gled slowly round. AS he watched
back came the mother. She saw him
and gave one short, harsh cry. In
mediately the little bird in the egg
stopped rcheeping and made no fur
ther sound or movement while he re-
manned. Here was case of instinc-
tive obedience even before the bird
was hatched.-London Times.
