TIRE NEGLECT COSTS

An inspection Of crippled tires in the collection of any repairman will reveal the fact that large pereentag of the trouble comes from neglect in the garage at home. If stones, ruts and road roughness were the only tbirgs that wore out the tires, repair bills would be cut in half. Water, oil, grease and light -rubber's worse eacmies-work in the garage more actively than on the road In wash ing the car. the rims are liable to become rusty and eat away the tire. A coat of graphite or common stove rcish will prevent this and keep the Ire from creeping.
 Oil or grease should never be al lowed 10 stand on q garage floor, Small cuts or bruises on the tire sur face should be repaired at once. If tire has been smeared with grease, it should be washed thoroughly with cold water and a little soap
 The spare tire is often forgotten while the other tires are giving good service, and neglect sometimes causes if to deteriorate rapidly. Always it should be protected from rain, sun and dirt by a cover Once in while. change it with one of the tires on the car, So that the rubber will not harden from disuse.
 The weight of the car should never be left on a deflated tire, Such treatment is as bad as running on flat tire and is certain to crack the carcass. Jack up the wheels, or take off the tire entirely

CHANGES HAIR COLOR IN JAIL
Girl Goes In a Brunette, Comes Out
Blonde-PuzzIes the
Sheriff.

LapOrte, Ind.-How did it happen
that a woman prisoner entered the
Laporte county Jail ten days ago a
positive brunette and walked out a
stunning blonde?
Sheriff Anstiss can't figure out the
mystery, but he breathed a sigh of re-
lief when he released the woman With
10 others, arrested in raids in Snarl-
ton, Michigan City's vice district. All
spent ten days in Jail. The one with
the changing hair must have carried
hair dye in her vanity case. s

housekeeping in the Jail before it will

BURIED II YEARS IN PRls5~
Yais Honor Student, Just Freed In
Germany, Is Human Wreck, HiS
Mind Affected.

Paris, France.-John GurchisOn, for
mer Yale student, who has been buried
from the world for IL years in Ger
man prison, at Heidelberg, has arrived
in Paris, an absolute human wreck.
The American Aid society in Paris
has placed him in a private nursing
home in the suburbs, but he is in such
nervous condition that he attempted
suicide twice in few days American
physicians pronounce him sane, bur
his terrible memories prevent him from
sleeping. He acts like man with de-
lirium tremens and his memory is al
most gone.
Gurchison worked his way through
a year and won a scholarship at Hell
delberg.
Soon after arriving there he killed a
German student in a duel and was
sentenced to FIVE years in prison. Six
years added to his sentence for at
tempting to escape. Apparently no
friends tried to obtain his release.
GurchisOn did not know anything
about the World war until released and
can scarcely grasp the fact. He has
been in solitary confinement for IL
years and his body is full of scars in
fiicted by the wardens. His age is
given as twenty-nine years. The Amer
lean embassy is attempting through
the German embassy to clear up the
case.

POLICE USE PAPER BULLETS
Tear Gas Bombs Also Part Of the
Equipment Of the Law Enforcing
Powers of Detroit. ID.

Detroit, Mich.-Tear gas bombs and
paper bullets are now part of the
regular equipment of the police in the
fourth city in America.
Police Commissioner Inches felt that
machine guns were needed by Detroit
to help in dispensing mObs. So the city
bought a number of sub-machine guns,
to shoot 1,500 bullets a minute, but the
commissioner was afflicted with a kind
heart and couldn't bear the thought of
the steel jacketed bullets moving men
down just because they happened to
be disorderly.
DR.. Inches suggested that paper bull
lets be made, containing a charge of
minute bird shot. 1t is said these
paper bullets will not cripple for life
or kill any person, no matter at what
close range they are fired, but will
stop any mob.
The bullets were found to have just
about the necessary speed and hard
ness to get under a mans skin and
make him want to hunt a doctor In
the quickest possible time.

SNAKE AS SUNSHADE HANDLE
Dog Is Rapidly Being Displaced in
England as a Pet by Freak
Rivals.

London, England.-The place long
held by the dog as family pet and
street companion threatens to be
usurped by the monkey and other
exotic creatures. Women are seen
carrying marmOsets, mOngOoses, foxes,
and parrots.
People also are getting accustomed
to the woman with a young white fox
on a string, another with three cats
and the chimpanzee that rides in a
motorcar.
But the most startling innovation
in family pets was observed at a
lawn party where a guest carried what
appeared to be a sunshade with a
highly decorative handle. Closer in
spection revealed the handle" to be
beautifully marked snake, perfectly
mOtionless and carelessly twined over
its fair owners arm and around her
sunshade.

PEDIGREE HUNT IN BRITAIN
American Visitors Are Eager as Ma
tiVes to Know About Their
Ancestors.

London.-"Among the keenest In
quiries into their pedigrees-and gene
alOgy never before was as popular as
it is at this mOment-are many of the
Americans now visiting this country" !"
says Secretary Fothergill of the So
-ciety of GenealOgists.
"The day of faxed pedigrees is
past. What the modern American is
seeking is the truth about his fore
bears, traced backward generation by
generation. '-.
"They are particularly interested In
the new field for genealogical research
that has recently been opened up, the
deposition books of the old courts.
This has not yet been properly ex-
plotted, for in many instances the rec
Ords of the ecclesiastical and common
law courts and the court of chancery
are not yet open to public inspection.
''The fascination of these books Is
that they are not mere lists Of names
and dates. The very words spoken by
the parties and the witnesses to these
old disputes are preserved, so that the
authentic voice of ones ancestors may
be heard down the centuries"
The main work Of the society is the
preparation of the huge consolidated
index, which already constitutes a
record of more than 100000 baptisms,
marriages and deaths, with other bio
graphical details in many cases.

Woman Who Don't Pay Taxss.

Greenville, Pa.-Tax collectors and
lawyers of Mercer county are exer-
cised over the question of what can
be done to a woman who refuses to
pay her taxes. The law on the subject,
the lawyers say, is vague. A man can
be thrown into jail for noI-payment of
taxes, but woman can't. The legis-
lature failed to amend the laws when
suffrage went into effect to place
women in the same category as men in
the matter of taxation. A test case
may be arranged here to determine
the possibilities in collection.
