Tires With 800 Nail
 Holes Leak No Air

A new puncture proof inner tube which in actual use was punctured 300 times without showing the loss of any air when tested by tire gauge. has been invented by Paul B. Coats, an electrical engineer of Chicago. It is inflated with air and has the same appearance as the regular Inner tube. yet it removes all the neces- sity of changing tires until the castings are entirely worn out. Cars using these tubes gre making from 5000 to- l2, 900 miles without removing 2 tire from the wheel. A wonderful feature Of this new tube is that it can he produced and sold at about the same price as the ordinary tube. Mir. Coats has turned over all rights on his invention to the Milburn Puncture Proof Tube Co. 372 W. 47th St, Chicago, who wants to place these tubes in few ears here. They will make a very liberal offer to anyone who wishes to try them at the company's risk until distributor is appointed for this terri tory.-Adv.

Here's a Big Lamp
OF $4,000 CandlepOwer

The largest incandescent lamp
ever manufactured, having a capac-
iiy of $4,000 candlepowcr and rated
at 10000 watts, has Just been manu-
featured. 1t is to be used in
moving picture studios and Is
said TO be the most realistic
representation of sunlight that has
yet been attained.
The big lamp, which was first
demonstrated before tie sixteenth
annual convention Of tho llluminat-
ing Engineering Society. just closed
at Swampscott, Mass. has wattage
1900 times larger than that Of the
average household lamp. The cleo

such lamps is equivalent to the vol
ume Of current necessary TO run a

The lamp stands lN2 inches high,
and its bulb is - inches in diameter.
The light is equal TO the combined
light Of 400 electric lamps Of the

Eits Of This and That

The great wonder is not that there
are so many automobile collisions
but why there are not so many more.
Motorists cause themselves 4 lot
OF unnecessary trouble by not look
ing to see whether the street cars
can clear the machine whsn parking
it on a very narrow street.
Making trunks regular equipment
on sport cars and touring coupes IS
going to be tough on prohibit ion
officers \ motorist can't be travel
ing all the timc--and an empty trunk
is such waste of transportation.
Isn't it about time that some pro-
ercssivo State started putting cars
through rigid examinations as we'll
as drivers? A car that ought to hc
on the junk heap is as dangerous as
a driver VINO ought to be in an
asylum.
The safest way to hold the steer
ing wheel when driving fast is to
grasp it in such a way that fingers
OF at least one hand straddie 4 spoke.
In case Of front wheel blowout or
an unforeseen hole in the road the

They had read about the wonders
Of the scenery and the excellence of
the highway. They had cut the arti
Gle out Of the magazine and mapped
out their trip in accordance with the
log set down by tho author. They
felt that they knew every inch of
the way. 1t would be plain sailing.
To be absolutely sure that the
facts We're authentic they watched
the motor news in the newspapers
until they found facts bearing on the
particular route. The road condi
tjons Wee still said to, be excellent.
There was nothing to worry about.
SO they started.
They. arrived. they saw, but they
found il Il bat difficult to conquer. To
say that they were disappointed is
20 overwork the soft pedal. The
Wonderful road had Just been oiled.
\ new car was nearly ruined. The
trip itself WAS total fiat.
The next move was to fix the blame
on the magazine and the newspaper.
1t always is that way. Motorists
do not seem to realize that in the
period Of time which must neccs-
sdrily elapse between the day a cor
ro respondent inspeCts the road Condi-
tions and the hour the news gets to
the public anything is likely to hap
pen to make the facts look like plain
lies. Not the least of these happen
ings is Il heavy rainfall, frequently
nccessitating impromptu detours
through heaven knows what. Sud
den changes in construction work
may mean crushed stone. a new
bridge, or one way roads where these
would be least expected.
Instead of going blindly into a trip
and then taking it all out on the
writer of the tempting touring story
it is better to suspect the possibility
of changes in road conditions and
consult your automobile club by
phone before starting out.
