Kind Treatment
For Tires Means
Dollars Repaid

Don't overload your tires-they
will repay you in big round dollars
for proper treatment.
Tires are material things. They
perform only according to mechan-
icaI and physical laws which de-
termine their strength. They can
not call forth super effort to meet
emergencies. \ tire is built with
a certain amount of strength. If
this strength is exceeded it will
give way. no matter how much the
mOtOrist wishes that it might not.
\ string that will hold just
pound suspended in the air will not
suspend two pounds or even a
pound and one ounce. Miller tire
men say that tho laws that govern
the loads. carrying capacities and
ultimate service of tires are ex-
aCtly the same as those that gov
Crn the strength of other material
things.
The motOrist may say. "I have
overloaded and underinfiated my
tires and they have withstood it"
They would be poor tires if they did
not. as a certain margin of safety
must he allowed. The maximum
loads specified by tire engineers to
be carried BY different size tires are
not the burstin" loads of these tires.
They are the loads under which the
tires will deliver maximum and
most satisfactory service.
The same is true of imitation
Dr"ssUres- lnflations specified by
manufacturers are those below

should not drop to insure maximum
service.

Mr.. Fox got up from his seat. He
began to feel better. In the first place

was very slim and pretty and he had
long known he should have a wife.

And now he began TO see a way out

would make them all march with a

offered his arm TO Miss Grey Fox who
stood waiting TO lead the grand march
with him.
