FLAT TREAD BETTER
Is IMpor tant Development In Tire
 COnAtructiOn.

COnstructiOn.
 The trend toward flat treads on pneumatic tires both for passenger cars and motor trucks stands out as probably the most important develop ment in tire construction and design in the last year. A thorough andy sis of this construction answers the questions. Why will flat treads even- tually displace round treads on all pneumatics?
 In the first place, flat tread af- lords much better traction because of greater contact area. Proof of this statement is easy because 1t is only necessary to compare the path made by flat tread and by round tread as left in mud or snow, according to tire experts of the Miller Rubber company.
 Tread and ply separation are among the greatest sources of trouble in tire life. Usually tho round tread tire begins to separate at the shoul der Now if a flat tread replaces the round tread on the same carcass. it can be seen that the flat tread rein forces the tire at the shoulder at the point of greatest strain. It is the proper place, because the flat tread converts the flexing point in the round tread carcass into flexing area.
 Another point in favor of the flat tread is the lessening of deformation of the carcass. When the round tread is operated vnder load, the tread is pressed against the road in posi- natural contour of the tire is In oppo- sition to this force.
 Since there is greater contact area in the flat tread. the tension of the

LACK OF CARBON IS FEATURE OF PEERLESS

Automobile owners, regardless of the class of car they own, are al ways keenly interested in keeping it's cost of maintenance as low as possible, and at the same time en- toying it's continuous use without frequent trips to the service atation ors repair shop.
 One item of upkeep cxpense and annoyance. to which engineers of practically every company in the in- dustry have devoted considerable study. is the elimination Of as much carbon formation from the cylinders as possible. Many Improvements have recently been made in this regard
 An instance of these Improvements is an analysis recently made by Peerless officials of figures supplied them by owners of the New Peerless, combined with innumerable tests that have been made by the company it. self.

GIVE FEM THE AIR
UnderinflatiOn Causes Rim Cut, Soys
 Miller Company

Many motorists believe that rim cutting of tires is an unfathomable mystery. Underinflation usually IS the cause, but 1t has an ally in side sway.
 whenever tires are not properly in- Hated, the body of the car Is permit ted to sway from side to side un- necessarily. This movement is ag- gravated in turning corners sharp ly. When the air pressure is be- low standard, the pulling on the side walls is excessive.
 The. effect of the strain often breaks one or more plies of the fab ric nearest the rim. With one ply broken, chafing begins and within comparatively short time blowout follows.
 Side sway naturally works most havoc when the tire is underinflated, especially when rounding corners, ac- cording to Miller tire experts.
 Another contributing factor to rim cutting is the practice of driving "head-on" into curblngs in the cities where angular parking is required. Many motorists. in bringing their cars to stand. accept the line of least resistance by letting their breaks do half of the stopping job and relying upon the curbstone for the other half. That accomplishes the purpose, bit it also shortens the life of the tire.
 The best way to avoid rim cuts ia to purchase and use tire gauge. Rim cutting is almost impossible with proper imitation and care.

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHER
TON TO BEATRICE GRIM
SHAW.
DEAR REE.

DEAR BEE:
am wondering if any one of your
high-brow prochvities ever reads the
answers to the lovelorn, or the un-
happily married, or whatever you
may call those agony columns which
seem so silly and utterly futile At
least that is what these columns,
with their questions and answers, al
ways has seemed to me until right
now.
Bee, L remember you telling me
one day, when I told you was go
ing to marry Sam, that you did not
think loved him. After he had his
trouble with the bad booze" I was
sure I did not. I was so incensed at
his doing something against which
I had warned him many times. Then,
as he seemed in his blindness, so
brave and more splendid than he had
ever been in health, a kind OF divine
pity filled my heart and for a time
1 really thought it was love.
But I've come to the conclusion
now 1t was partly remorse and partly
pity 1 thought l had no right to
find any more fault with him when
he was paying so dearly for his mis-
take.
Sam is a nice chap. He wants to
do everything in the world COR me
but, like many other men, he wants
to do it in his own way. He is kind.
ness itself. but it is his kind Of kind
ness, not mine.

TO go any place. 1 try to look my best when
il is time for him to come home.
He wants me to work and keep myself
and pay some Of the bills l never did have
very good health and he always knew It.
He has car and rides around all the time
and takes men and girls out.
He got into trouble once and was sent
away. Ny health got him out. Now he
has forgotten all about the hesrtaches he
had and caused me. I waited. as he asked,
TO give him another chance. 1t is almost
the same thing again.
What cap l do to make him ashamed of
himself and to gain his love and keep him
away from bad companions?

not give him much more time to

he does change. carry out your threat
by leaving him. with word that you
will return only when he proves him

you think he would go with other girls all

appreciate other boys company and do NOS
give them dates. l am almost 10 and do

all the time or when: S. G. s.
l. The boy shows extraordinary
common sense. He has chosen the
surest way to cure you Of jealousy.
Besides. as neither of you expects TO
marry for some time. and you are
going on through college, you should
go with other people. That IS the
best way to test love, or to prove it
was not real love.
2. During the day, she may take a

Writer Declares Women Paris and Smart Shopping Sections

~ARIS, Sept. 13.-The most diff
III f1cult person to find in Paris
at the present time is the one
I expected to see in the greatest
numbers-the typical Parisienne.
Having been led to believe since
early childhood that this city is the
Mecca of Fashion and that every
stylish woman turned her face to 1t
at least twice a year, naturally ex-
pected to find the streets of Paris
swarming with the originals OF
French drawings I've so frequently
admired in fashion journals.
Imagine my surprise to find that
the women I see in the Rue de Ia
Paix or the Avenue de rOpera or
any Of the streets in the smart
shopping section. dressed just as we
dress in any American city, and to
hear them all talking plain United
States.
Or fancy going to the magnificent
opera house, which is much more
gorgeous than any postcard ever
portrayed it, and the stronghold Of
fashion and elegance during the
winter season. and hearing rot a
word of French except those sung
on the stage
ParIezvOus Unnecessary
Imagine, too, mine own feeling Of
futiIty when 1 try to use a few OF
the lines I memorized so diligently
in my book of common French
phrases. and am properly squelched
by a polite but firm French sales
person who answers my question in
perfect English and makes that the
language of our transaction.
1t took me a couple of days to
realize that Paris in August is not
nearly so much the capital of
France as it is a suburb of the
United States. It is our American
women who are attending the open
ings of the smart coutouriers whose
names are as familiar in America as
they are in France. And the
Parisienne shopkeepers will tell you
it is the American women who wear
the smart frocks and determine the
style trend today.
Regarding the true Parisienne. I
learned from a cabman, formerly
from Hoboken, \. J., who still re-
tains the American slang current in
the early twentieth century, that
she has withdrawn to a fashionable
watering place, or if she be aristo-
