LITTLE BOYS TO GET
LIFE INSURANCE MONEY

The payment of one thousand
dollars, due to George, John and
Vincent Crotto, little sons Of the
late Adolf Crotto, whose passing
occurred in this city nearly two
years ago, is to made possible
through the appointment of Frank
Germain as guardian of the little
fellows. In this position he will
receive and care for the funds
due the children. The boys are
seven, six and five years of age
and are being cared for at the state
orphans home in Carson City.
An unfortunate circumstance in
connection with the affairs of the
boys is that the mother is dead,
having passed away a short time
in advance of the death Of the
father.
To deliver the sum to the Crotto
children will cost them but ten
dollars as neither Mr.. Germain,
nor Attorney ]. A. Langwith pro-
pose to charge for their services.
The local lodge of Eagles took
the initiative in moving for the
collection Of the sum due on the
insurance policy, the deceased faith
er having been a member Of the
order.

PROSPECTOR DIED
FROM OLD ACE
c. w. Pearl, Resident of This Sec
tion for Thirty Years, Found
Dead in Tent at King River
Crossing--Death Natural

Sheriff G. W. Brady and Justice
of the Peace James Ritchie return
ed this afternoon from King Riv-
er Crossing, bringing the remains
of the late C. W. Pearl, well known
Humboldt county prospector and
miner who had resided in this
section for about thirty years.
Pearl was 70 years old and the
inquest held at King River Cross
ing this morning decided that his
passing had occurred as a result
of natural causes. It was shown
at the hearing that death occurred
Tuesday while the aged man was
in bed. Three cents in money, a
very scant supply of provisions, the
tent in which he died, its furnish
ings and Ford car comprised the
list of things shown in the inven-
tory of the mans effects.
Pearl returned about q week
ago from the Arabia mine in Per-
shing county where he worked a
part of last winter and went di-
rectly to the northern part of this
county to prospect.
Funeral services will be held for
the deceased tomorrow. Interment
will be made in Winnemucca ceme-
terry.
The deceased was unmarried and
SO far as is known had no near
relatives in this part of the country.

BOOM IN MATERIAL TESTING
Increase in Facilities Has Grown Rap
idly in Past Few Years in
Different States.

The great boom in highway build
ing which has come since the federal
aid act of 1916 has led TO an increase
in the facilities for testing highway
materials. The bureau of public roads
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture keeps In touch with all
laboratories which test material for
f~ederal-ald roads and reports that the
number has grown from q scattered
few In 1915 to ut least n In every
state with two exceptions. They are
distributed as follows: State highway
department LABORATORIES 20, university
laboratories 81. and commercial labor
atories 81, a total OF 6S.
Conditions have become such that 1t
is practically n necessity for each
state to have e of quick testing
in order not to delay work. In pass
ing on materials the laboratories are
governed by the idea that roads must
be constructed with materials close at
hand wherever possible and give as
surance for the use Of such material
where II Is suitable.

o AUTO KNOW

That gasoline. oil and grease
are the natural enemies of rub
Der and that they will rapidly
lead to decay and disintegration
of tires, particularly If the lat
ter have been driven for a CON
siderable distance and are
nicked or cut. Gasoline espe-
cially Is injurious to tires be
cause 1t Is a solvent of gum rub
Der, but, because of the fact that
1t evaporates rapidly, 1t does not
present such a menace as oil and
grease.
Permitting a al to stand In a
garage In a pool Of oil will, In q
comparatively short time, lead to
a decay of the rubber and a
marked shortening of the life OF
the tire itself. Even the pools Of
oil and grease which r to be
noted on streets where automo-
biles are usually parked are dan
gerous for this reason-as well
as for the fact that they provide
extremely t%reacherous footing
and may lead to a serious skid.
SO injurious are all kinds Of oil
to the fabric of which tires r
made that one manufacturer ad-
vises motorists who are forced to
go over freshly oiled roads to
stop as soon as they have passed
the oiled section and clean the
surface Of their tires with gaso-
line, taking care to wipe the
cleansing agent off with a dry
rag.

GOOD
LIGHT-EDGED ROADS FRIABLE
Some Sections of Bates Experimental
Road Break Under Traffic Of
Light Trucks.

prepared BY the United States Department
Of Agricultural
Some of the lighter sections of the
Bates experimental road failed under
the traffic of light trucks driven along
the edge of the surfaces on the first
day of the test. The road, which was
especially constructed for the expert
ments now being conducted by the
state highway department of Illinois
in cooperation with the bureau of
public roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is two miles long
and consists of numerous sections of
different types of construction.
On March 80, the day the road was
opened for the tests, II trucks with
bodies removed to make a load of
$500 pounds on each rear wheel were
started on trips, which will continue
with increasing loads until the suit
ability Of each type Is determined. The
trucks were driven so that the outside
wheels were on the edge of the paw
Ing, and almost Immediately some of
the sections began to fall. This was
expected, as the sections were of light
design and intended to demonstrate
the futility of such construction.
The road will be subjected to a num-
Der of tests under the destructive
pounding of the trucks. and II Is ex-
pected that much valuable informa-

other Effects.

Another effect of n break in II or
two inner plies may be that from con-
tinued bending the broken edges of the
fabric rub a hole in the inner tube at
that point. Sometimes the break Is so
pronounced, especially in a fabric tire,
that the air pressure forces the inner
tube into the break. and as this is con-
tinually closing and opening. as the
tire rolls, the action is like n pair OF
plnchers and cuts the tube.
IL the tube Is chafed through or cut
after a bruise. such as described, the
air will pass directly through the car
cass and force the rubber side cover
ing, and sometimes the tread. loose
from the fabric. When this happens
the user generally terms 1t a blowout,
and as n matter Of fact II Is; but. con-
trary to the opinion often held, 1t Is
seldom the result of a defect In manu-
facture. II can generally be traced to
an injury sustained some time prior
TO the final breaking down of the tire.

inside PLY Shorter.


Normally the inside ply Is shorter
than the rest and each ply Is shorter
than any Of the others which are To-
Gated outside of II. This Is because 1t
is on the inside Of the curvature of the
tire. Now II the tire Is suddenly COM
pressed at some point TO a considerable
extent, such as shown in the illustra-
ton, the relative position OF the plies
is reversed that is. the ouside ply
becomes, nj this particular point, the
inside ply rs regards the curvature and
the inside ply becomes the outside ply
as regards curvature.
II IL should happen, as 1t often does,
that only one or two inner plies are
broken, there will not be any signs OF
the injury on the outside until a CON
siderable time afterward. This Is be-
cause the other plies still u%nbroken will
continue TO hold against the air pres
sure ever though they will be under
excessive strain. But continued flex-
ing will eventually break them also,

may occur at any time, even on a per-
