TEST REVEALS LARGE
TIRE NOT DANGEROUS
Widespread Belief of Peril
Shown to Be Erroneous.
Big English Vehicle Run Over Sharp
ened Spike Making Perfect Blow
Out, But No Damage Done
Except to Tire.

One way to overcome prejudice Is
to remove it. The introduction Of
the large size pneumatic tire for bus.
ses in England, was hedged in by
many difficulties because Of wide
spread belief that the use of these
tires was dangerous.
In case of blowout, men argued,
the tremendous concussion of the es-
Gaping air would thrust the car off
the roadway. The difference in height
between the two sides Of the car after
one tire had been debated would be
so great-aS to threaten to over-turn
the vehicle, was another argument
Pedestrians standing near might be
blown from their feet by the force of
the escaping air from the tire, it was
said. The driver, himself, might even
be in danger, in case Of a blowout
while the car was travelling at rapid
speed. 80
To meet this situation, e. r. Pres
ton, managing director Of an English
tire company, in cooperation with two
of the leading motor journals Of the
country. devised a unique test. "We'H
stage a blowout Of a tire while the
car is in notion" said Preston. "You
can go along and see what happens"
A narrow and rutty dirt road out
side Of London, was selected for the
test. A heavy plank was imbedded in
the roadway, fitted up with a big iron
spike, sharpened to razor edge and
set so that it would strike the tire
at an angle just outside of the tread.
! When all was set, big bus, in which
rode the representatives Of the two
motor journals, came flying down the
road at 80 to 35 miles an hour speed.
AS the big sharpened spike struck the
side of the tire it ripped jagged
hole through carcass and tube. 1t
was a perfect blowout. The tire was
completely fiat within 15 feet. But
no damage had been done except to
the tire itself.
The men riding the car felt only a
very slight jolt as the car struck the
impediment. Examination of the sur
face Of the road Immediately after,
showed that there was no perceptible
lurching of the truck from the road.
The wheels carried through straight
ahead. There was no relaxing Of the
car. Examination afterwards showed
that one wheel stood about an inch
and a quarter below the other as the
result Of the tire being Debated.
The test has gone long ways to-
ward correcting the erroneous impress
sion as to the performance Of these
large tires In case Of a blowout.

Beneficent Bacteria
By FREDERIC J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 81
There is probably no place where a
germ can receive a more cordial well
come or live a more eventful life than
at the Hygienic Laboratory of the Pub
lie Health Service.
Germs of any distinction At ell are
treated with great consideration here.
Special food is cooked in a shiny white
kitchen for the enormous number of
the laboratory boarders. The bacteria
are fed at government expense. Their
tastes are closely studied and cater
ed to.
Most disease germs like beef, and in
a white, glass front cabinet you can
see rows of squat glass bottles contain
ing various kinds of carefully prepared
bouillon. About 30 0pounds of fine
grade lean beef went into the Bottles
on these shelves, a laboratory patholo
gist explains. This is about a week S
ration. The food must be prepared
fresh every few days for the diocrim
mating bacteria. Some of this soup or
these shelves is put up with sugar
to suit certain kinds of bacteria
Others prefer salt. A few demand {
dash of alcohol-and get it.
The meals of the bacteria are
strange to say, protected agains

LOOKS FOR SPIRITUAL
RENAISSANCE IN next
QUARTER OF CENTURY
CBy Associated Press)

ALLIANCE, Ohio. June 81. = The
next % years will bring an intellectual
and spiritual renaissance in western
civilization, Glenn Frank, New York,
editor of the Century magazine, de-
clared in an address today to grad
yates Of Mt. Union college.
For more than the life time OF most
of US. he said, "the chill winds of
materialism have been blowing
across western civilization. It's spirit
ual fires have been banked, if not
burned out
The civilization that preceded and
precipitated the great war. was at
best thinly veneered barbarism that
slowly was consuming the life of the
race. We all were guilty of the sin
of surrender to pagan ideals"
Hstorys Verdict
The verdict of history will be that
Germany caused the war, but for a
deeper reason than propagandists or
politicians have yet guessed. AS
Charles A. Ellwood, in his book on
The Reconstruction of Religion
points out the pagan program of self
interest. material satisfaction and
brute force, was dominating all west
ern civilization before the war.
THE program simply came to a
head in Germany first Germany
caused the war, not because she alone
had sinned, but because she sinned
more perfectly than the rest of us.
The basic paganism of politics, of
business, and of social life that the
rest Of the world denounced and prac-
tised, Germany openly advocated as
her creed and practised. Germany
was the Samson that pulled down the
pillars Of the temple, but the temple
was rotten.
Now, nothing can prevent western
civilization from entering the long
, winter, except vast spiritual renais
sance, vast process of moral re
newal sweeping through the world
like another Reformation. Personally
| believe that we are in the morning
hours of such a renaissance"

piece of tissue about the size OF
the end of thumb is first frozen on
a complicated little instrument. To do
this carbon dioxide gas is put under
high pressure in tube and By turn
ing the key the gas is expanded on TO
the specimen as it lies on the instru-
ment plate. The gas takes the heat
from the air and water and gradually
ice forms around the bit of tissue
Then a knife device cuts off layers
which will be mounted on glass slides
for examination under a microscope.
Paper is often used as a comparative
term of thinness, but so thin are these
slices of tissue that are cut off that
it would take about 100 of them to
build up the thickness of onion skin
paper. Even in these fine layers of
tissue the scientist may find thousands
of disease germs when the microscope
is turned on them. And those are the
larger kinds of bacteria.
Sometimes the Hygienic Laboratory
works off and on for 10 or Is years,
using endless generations of a bacteria
family, in an attempt to develop an
antitoxin or merely in the hope of
adding some bit of knowledge to treat
ment of disease. Occasionally the
disease is rare one that the govern

Expect Randolph Wheat
Cutting During Week

WINCHESTER, Ind. June 21.-It is
expected that some wheat will be cut
in this county before the end of the
week. 1t is said that the grain will be
of good quality and we'll filled. In the
vicinity of Winchester there has been
but little rain for the last four weeks
and corn and oats are badly in need
of moisture. The raspberry crop will
be short due to the lack of rain.
