Helm Former Enemies.


The relief of former enemy terri
tories provided special problems. The
relief of Austria was accomplished by
means of credit of $4S,000,000 eX-
tended by the United States to Eng
land, France and Italy to cover credits
to Austria from these countries, the
proceeds to be spent in purchase Of
relief supplies in America. The relief
of Bulgaria and Germany was done on
gold provided by these governments.
A large portion of the $1O0,000,000
fund is covered by the promlssory
notes of the nations to which relief
supplies were sent. From this fund
there came something like $11 100000,
which was expended In the first labors
of children's relief inaugurated IN
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Serbia, Ru-
mania, Finland, Esthonia. Latvia,
Lithuania and northwest Russia. The
money so expended was an outright
gift.
The total relief supplies delivered
by the United States between Deem
Der l, 1918, and August 81, 1919,
amounted to 2,S53,434 metric tons of
an approximate value of $720. 539, 1876
Of this total $199,S74, $40, or 27.6 per
cent, was delivered for cash; $780,
839,323. or 69.5 per cent, was
financed on credit, and S2O,825374, or
2.8 per cent, was given as charity.
When we came to the signing of the
peace we entered the third period OF
Americas relief efforts. Official eX-
penditure was out of the question.
What was done then had to be con-
tinued by private activity.
Millions for Children.
At the end of the first year after
the signing of the peace total of
$50 ,203, GS1. SO had been made available
for children's relief In Europe. To
this should be added something like
$2,OOO,00O spent by the Near East re-
lief In Armenia.
Recapitulating the expenditures for
food relief under American manage.
ment from the end of the war to June
30, 1921, we find that the figures
came to about $50,000OO0. To this
should be added the food draft sales
amounting to $S.2S9,00O.
With the summer of 1921 American
relief entered its Russian phase Re
lief was continued on a reduced scale
in the needy countries of central Eu-
rope from funds already at hand.
The expenditures of one year In
Russia will not be less than $50,OOO,-
600, and may be much more.
In a period of eight years America
has contributed to Europe by charity
or credit with certain small cash sales
between $4.0OOO0O.OO0 and 5000.

food administration functioned during
two years, from July, 1917, to July,
1919. Its great service was the de-
livery Of vastly increased amounts of
food to the European allies, and to
the liberated nations, almost entirely
on credit, up to the signing of the
peace.
The total exports of foodstuffs han
died by the food administration for
the twO-year period, 1917-1919, was
10000 ,292, as compared with the an
nual average of three pre-war years
Of $6,959,O55.
Changes In Duties.
While the United States food admin
istratiOn continued to operate after
the armistice and until July, 1919,
there came with the armistice sig
nificant change In its duties and oper
ations. With the signing of the arms
tice there appeared In the horizon of
Europe an entirely new group of ma
tions requiring relief.
For the handling of these problems
there was organized the American
relief administration as an European
adjunct of the food administration.
The contributions by America to the
liberated territories Of Europe were
extended through this administration
between the months Of November,
1918, and July, 1919, that is, during
the armistice months. In considering
these contributions and credits II
should be remembered that their to-
tails are included In the totals given
above covering the operations of the
United States food administration
during the entire period Of its exist
enee.
Americas contributions under this
head were made in several ways Ger
tain contributions were made In the
form Of treasury grants Of credit to
small nations which had been allied
in the war. The grants to Belgium
have already been mentioned. In ad-
dition to these, grants Of credits were
made to Czechoslovakia In the sum
Of $50,O00OO0, Rumania in the
sum of $25,000,000 and to Serbia In
the sum Of $15,OO0O00.
Americas chief contribution of
credits to the newer nations of Eu-
rope was derived from the 100000
900 appropriation for European relief
voted by congress early in 1919. The
expenditures under this grant were
roughly as follows:
In each case promissOry notes were
taken from the nation accepting the
supplies.

TIRE IS VERY
MUCH LIKE WE
HUMAN BEINGS

The iikenlng of a pneumatic tire
to human body is one Of the favor
ite topics found in manuals circulated
by tire manufacturers for the purpose
Of helping the motorist secure all the
mileage that has been built into the
tire.
The carcass Of the tire corresponds
to the bones and muscles of our
bodies. The outer rubber covering
(tread and side cushions) protect the
tire as the skin protects our bodies.
Cuts in this rubber must be repaired
to prevent disintegration of the tire
just as cuts in our skin must be
treated to prevent infection In
flated pressure to a tire is what food
is to our bodies.
There is another similarity, how.
ever, that has not been described
the tires need of exercise. 1t is a
fact. says the United States Tire
company, that spare tire resists
natural ageing much betetr II it is
put into service for a day every
month. The reason for this Is OBJ
scure. but is probably due to what
physicists call molecular rearrange-
ment" in the rubber portions of the
tire caused by flexing. Whatever the
cause of the deterioration, it IS n
fact that spare carried month after
month without being exercised oc-
casionally does not retain its wearing
qualities as well as one that gets an
occasional days use.

1922 CARS BUILT
To GIVE SERVICE
FOR FIVE YEARS

Several Of the country's biggest au-
tomobiIe manufacturers have been
reported tc estimate that the aver
age automobile of 1922 is built to give
100000 miles of usefulness. One
manufactures, at least, has actually
advertised his product as 200,O00-
mile machine.
To look at the matter from another
angle, the average automobile of to-
day is built to give five years of use,
for there are comparatively few car
owners who exceed 10000 miles driv-
ing In single year.
However, one has only TO look
about him to find that comparatively
few automobiles are retained by their
owners five years. Usually the
three year old is well on its way to
the remnant counter and the five
year-old is frankly impossible for
any who find satisfaction in mechan-
ieal fitness. This condition, never
theless, is in but few instances the
fault of the manufacturer. Largely
it is the outcome of a very prevalent
carelessness on the part of the mo-
torist.
Too many Of the little things that
need attention before they grow in
size and seriousness are overlooked
and neglected. TO overcome this ten
dency factories and distributors are
spending huge sums in the endeayor
to educate their customers in the
proper care of their cars. Chief
among the considerations of first i'm
portance the matter of fabrication is
always to be found. Proper oil is
urged, frequent greasing and general
attention to parts that are exposed to
friction.
In the motor itself the great per-
centage of shortcomings IS found to

"The booklet Is entirely devoid Of

"It was found, for instance. that
when our investigator entered a tire
shop in the role OF a customer and
simply asked to see a certain size
tire without naming any particular
make of tire or saying anything what
ever about the price. 81 per cent OF
the tire dealers thus approached

Only Is per cent of the dealers so
approached brought forth their quail

Here is clear indication that
tire dealers as a class are employing
