The following points have been
adopted as the code of the Spartanaire:

heart into everything he does; he
strives to be 100 per cent American.
2. He is proud of everything he accom-
plishes; but never brags or gloats ever

man and knows how to lose without
whining; he never makes the same
mistake twice. 4. He plays square

AVOID ALL CHEAP PADL0CKS
Does Not sPay Car Owner to Try to
Protect Spare Tires With In
expensive Devices.

Tires are pretty expensive things to
trust to cheap padlocks To the av-
erage person of honest proclivities, a
paddock is paddock. and that is all
there is to it. But the crook, the kind
of individual who gets away with your
spare tires when you leave the car
standing on the street even for a
short time, all padlocks are not pad
locks. Some are easy picking.
The point we are making is that it
does not pay to use cheap lock to
protect the spares. Get a good lever
lock which will not open when gently
tapped by the experienced lock ma
nipulator The kind of paddock that
is acquired for the equivalent of a
couple of carfares is not the kind to
use as guardian for anything so ex-
pensive as an automobile tire. This
is case where economy and cheap
ness do not go hand in hand.-Motor

BENT RIMS CAUSE OF
TROUBLE IN CASINOS
Motorists Advised to Watch Both
Tires and Carriers.

Bent rims are a direct cause of rim
cuts, of tires blowing from the rim and
Of the breaking of the wire cables at
the base of the tire. Oftentimes mo-
florists cannot understand why tires
should blow when they are driving
along slowly. The facts of the case
are that the overstrained carcass has
reached the limit of it's endurance from
previous abuse and has given away.
Many motorists, were they to ex-
anime the wheels on their cars, would
be surprised to notice that their rims
are bent along the edges. These bent
rim fianges are ordinarily little thought
of, yet they cause good percentage Of
tire trouble
When the wheel hits a frog, or
switch of street car track, or a hole
in the road, there is a tendency to
fiatten the rim, especially if the tire
is underinf1ated. The rims support,
however, is essential to the life of a
tire. If it is bent so that it does not
fit the tire and allows the side walls
to bulge, the motorist may know that
trouble is to be expected unless he
takes immediate precautions.
BY truing-up their rims, motorists
may prevent much tire trouble. And
half the pleasure of motoring is free
dom from this trouble. A good rule to
follow is to have both tires and rims
inspected fortnightly. When rim
trouble is found, it may usually be COR
rected by careful tapping with ball
hammer.

coMRADEsHIP SPIRIT SHOWN
Minnesota Veteran Receives Wallet
Lost During War and Found by
British Soldier.

The spirit of comradeship between
soldiers of the allied armies of the
World war, as demonstrated by the
formation Of the Interallied Veterans
association, of which the American
Legion is member body, has been
shown in number of instances.
One of the most interesting exam
plies of this friendly feeling between
comrades was revealed in the finding
of the personal wallet Of Francis e.
Ellis a veteran Of st. James, Mimi,
by Bert Cooke of London, a former
British soldier
Ellis served with Co. M, 145th in
fantry, toward the close of the war
and was moving up with his company
when the Germans were turning back
through Belgium. He lost his wallet,
together with his registration card and
other personal memoranda on the trip.
Recently he received a letter from
Bert Cooke, under London date line.
The note read:
81 am sending you this wallet which
l believe to be your property trust

health after the terrible strife we have
been through.

butler and a maid occupied in remov-

'Well, where did you get these?"
said Mr. Fremont fn his clustering
way.
TITS like this, Dad" began Thelma
with a rather apologetic air: "When
I came downstairs this afternoon and
saw that dining room table heaped up
with good things-well, just went for
Hubert; together we found the name
of the nursery or home or whatever
you call it, near here and we went over
there. l had the matron give me half
a dozen children and here they are"
She pointed to the group in front of
her, who were busy taking in their
surroundings. "Children, this is my
father and this my mother. Now, Dad,
here is Tony, Rose, Frederick, Charles,
Anna and Marie" as she gathered the
children to her. "Now, children, we
are going in and have dinner. Let's
see, Hubert, you take Frederick and
Charles, Dad take Tony; Mother, you
take Anna, and 1 will have Rose and
Marie"
The children, ranging from six to
eight, were rather shy until they set
eyes on all the goodies on the table;
then they were all excitement Thelma
winked at Hubert, and then looked at
her dad. He was busy keeping meat
enough cut up for Tony, supplying his
numerous other demands, and keeping
up with his many questions. The chill
dren were fairly stuffed when they
climbed down from the table.

now" said Thelma. Hubert, you get
on that side of the circle; come on,

coaxing could bring Dad and Mother.
Dad thought he had done his share.

there was another household that was
not as sunny as it should have been.
A letter had come-but a bundle had
failed to come. The letter a program
of delight, the bundle a disappoint-
ment. Uncle Joshua had known their
wants by a marvellous instinct, but
where was the bundle? Alas! the 9TH
er things were as nothing for the lack
of it and Christmas morning dawned
upon discomfort.
But before the morning had quite
disappeared Fred came rushing in with
the news that he had seen that Peters
boy in the next block with a sled
bearing the same name as the one men
toned by Uncle Joshua. 81 didn't
know there was a Peters boy in the
next block" said his mother; "I'll go
down and see if they can tell us any
thing about our bundle"
They could, and the mystery was
very easily solved by the explanation
of the pOstman at the wrong door,
making very pardonable mistake
An explanation that led indeed to a
redistribution of gifts and also to a
discovery of relationships. for the Pc
ters' families found each other out, as
less than block apart in family ties
and friendliness. A discovery that
was the very best Christmas gift that
they could have had and which led
them to think that the wrong door was
al right after all.
It proved a way out for the P. Pc
terses and way in for the Paul Pc
terses until Pa Peters Of the first
part put in an appearance through it
in time for New Years with such an
account of himself and his adventures
as proved highly satisfactory to all the
combined hopes and plans Of all the
Peterses.
