BENT RIMS ONE
CAUSE OF TIRE !.
-AnAa-
TROUBLE
Miller Experts Advise Motorists
to Examine and True Up
Wheels Frequently.

Bent rims are a direct cause of
rim cuts, Of tires blowing from
the rims, and OF the breaking Of
the wire cables at the base OF the
tire. Often times motorists can
not understand why their tires
should blow" when they are driv-
ing along slowly. The fact Is that
the overstrained carcass has reached
the limit OF its endurance and gives
out as the result Of former mis-
use and abuse.
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 .flanges are or,1i-
narily little thought OF, yet they
cause a goodly percentage Of tire
trouble. ~
When the wheel hits a frog or a
switch Of a stree: car track or a
hole in the road, there is a tens
.dency to flatten the rim, especially
IL the tire is llnderinflated. The
rims support, however. is essential
10 the life of the tire. If 1t is
bent so that It does not fit the tire
and causes the side walls to bulge;
the motorist may know that trouble
is to be expected unless the con-
dition Is overcome Immediately.
BY truing UP their rims, motor.
lists may avoid much tire trouble.
AID half Of the pleasure Of motor
ing IL freedom from trouble. "A
good rule to follow is to have
both rims and tires inspected fort
nightly, according to Miller tire
experts. When rim trouble Is
found, It may usually be over
come by careful tapping with a bah

Nearly every motor car owner
wonders how other makes of cars
are operated. He is aware that
some of them are not standard,
so.called. With the exception of
Ford. which has a planetary trans
mission, every car has a selective
transmission, and, with exceptions.
these transmissions are operated in
the same manner. In the so-called
standard gearshift the speeds are
arranged as follows:

Many Witnesses Testify
In Florida Riot Probe

BRONSON, Fla, Feb. 16.-Twenty-
five witnesses appeared Wednesdays
to testify in the grand jury in
vestigation of riots growing out of an
attack on white woman near here
about month ago in which eight
persons were killed.
Thirteen witnesses testified Tues
day. George DeCottes, prescott
ing attorney, sent here by the gov
ernor to assist Judge a. ". Long, de-
clined to say whether sufficient evil
dence had been obtained to bring out
indictments. He could not say how
long the hearings would last, he said.
The body was recessed yesterday
while George Decottes, prosecuting
attorny, went to Gainesville to serve
processes on additional witnesses. The
next session will depend upon the
service of these papers, Mr.. Decottes
said.
The killings resulted when group
of white men attempted to enter a
house containing a number of ne
groes at Rosewood. An exchange of
shots resulted in two white men be-
ing killed and three wounded, and
two negroes killed and several
wounded. The other negroes escaped
and the entire negro section was
burned.
On January II Abe Wilson, an
other negro, was lynched near New
berry. The Alachua county grand
jury was recalled, but failed to bring
forth an indictment. The three other
negroes were killed after the gun

Constitutionality Of
Tobacco Cooperative
Contract Questioned

RALEIGH, N c., Feb. 15.-The
constitutionality of the act under
which the Tobacco Growers Coop
erative associations contracts with
growers of tobacco in this state are
drawn was challenged in argument
before the supreme court here Wed
nesday. The attack was made by
counsel for tobacco growers of Nash
and Edgeconlbe counties, defendants
who appealed from the decision of
the superior court which placed
them under injunction not to sell
their tobacco to any other than the
association and to deliver it to the
association.
The contention of counsel for the
growers was that the statute pro.
vides for the creation of a monopoly
contrary to provisions in the state
constitution in that it provides no
means for the contracting growers to
compel the association to sell tobac'
CO turned over to>it, leaving the
question of sale ana price for pc
Rod of ten years solely in the hands
Of the associations directorate.
