LIFE OF TIRE
DEPENDS ON
CARE IT GETS

1.-The life of a tire is determined
largely upon the care it receives
by its owner says +. r. Stivers
local manager of the Western Auto
supply company. cone of the
most essential details that add to
the longevity of a tire is that of
Keeping the rim free from rust, for
if the rust is allowed to accumul-
ate on the rim, the protecting strip
that covers the tire bead will soon
rot and rim blowouts and leaky
tubes will be the result.
"On clincher type rims where
the protecting flap is not used the
particles of rust chip off and chafe
the tube, causing innumerable leaks
and endless amount of trouble
as long as the rusty condition is
allowed to remain.
If the rim is thoroughly clean
ed and painted with q coat of
graphite rim paint and allowed to
dry before the tire is mounted the
result will be that the casing may
be removed with ease the next time
% tire change is necessary. This
operation involves but little time
but will aid materially in adding
TO the longevity of the tire and
tube, and we encourage our custom
ers to compete with rust in this
manner before mounting !, new
Western Giant Cord, concluded
Mr.. Stivers.

DEMONSTRATION
NEW OAKLAND IS
. BIG REVELATION

Playing to a large crowd at the
corner of Fifth and Main streets,
the new Oakland "Trne Blue Trav-
lern at 3 p' IN. Wednesday gave q
demonstration on safety first on q
wet pavement prepared by the po-
lice and fire departments.
Making corner turns at 90 miles
an hour and even faster, the driver,
Clay Riser, demonstrated that the
ear could come to quick stops at any
[ngle on the corner turn under any
circumstance, without skidding.
On straightaway runs the Oakland
traveller running at 30 miles an
hour came to Il stop within 80 feet,
and at Is miles an hour over the
same pavement stopped within its
own car length.
Chief of Police Barker after see
ing the demonstration, declared: 81
was much surprised to see the car
stop SO quickly. The demonstra-
tion the Oakland tour car gave here,
shows what automotiVe engineers
are doing TO make the motor ear
safe
Policemen and firemen who were
given rides also expressed them
selves as surprised mt the perform
ance of the car. Fire Chief Fer
guson. after seeing the ear work on
the wet street, said: ''It surely
does stop, and stops quickly. The
four-wheel brake ear ought to mean
much to safety in the FUTURE
All Are Enthusiastic
Assistant Chief of Police Sam
Griffith, toward whose car Riser
ran the traveller when he made
run across the intersection, declar-
ed after he had taken ride: -
couldn't do that with two-wheel
brake car if | screwed the brakes
down to the last notch.'
After the demonstration the car
went to the sales rooms of Charles
N. Merralls, 764 Main street, local
Oakland dealer. The "True Blue
Traveler' also was tested out by
Harry Neville, who has driven Oak
land ears in economy runs, and who
won for the Oakland the title of
Economy King" in the San Diego
El Centre economy run.
While the tour ear has made H.
\65o miles, Neville, after testing it
thoroughly, said: "While this car
las been subjected to more wear
and tear than any ordinary car
would in four years time, / find it
in nerfect condition, mechanically. y
Neville, with Harry Steninger, OF
thc California Oakland Motor Co. of
Los Angeles, came to I'll Centro TO
meet the ''True Blue Traveller" and
pilot it to San Diego and up the
coast to Los Angeles where the tour
of the car ends.
The first model of the 1924 Oak
land is now on display at the sales
rooms of Charles n. Merralls.

BAPTISTS ARE STUDYING
CHRISTIAN STEWARDSHIP
Literature Is Being Distributed
Throughout Nation to All
Churches of Denomination.

Following the leadership of the
conservation commission of the Bap-
tist S75,000,00O campaign, southern
Baptists are now engaged in the most
general and intensive study of Chris
tian stewardship in their history.
From the headquarters office of the
campaign in Nashville, 7,965,6S0 pages
of stewardship literature have oeen
distributed within the past three
months in the form of brief folders
and tracts, while the Baptist Sunday
school board has furnished to the
Baptist pastors Of the south 10000
copies of a course of study book of
$50 pages for the conduct of study
classes in stewardship among the
members of local congre cations.
1t has been estimated that southern
BaptistS have an annual income of
$500, 100000. If this sum were tithed
it would mean $3.50, 100000 each year
for the Southern Baptist treasury and
the object of the special stewardship
program is to develop the $4,000
white BaptiStS of the south to where
they will share their income with God
on a stewardship basis.
Each state of the southern Baptist
convention has stewardship direc-
tor cooperating with DR.. O. T.. Bryan,
South-widc director under the cam
paign commission, and these state
workers have carried the organiZa-
ton to their district associations and
these associations are helping carry
the doctrine of stewardship to the
local churches.

CATHEDRAL BOYS SING
LIKE WOMEN ON RADIO
Listeners Deceived by Sounds of
Choir During Services
Sunday Afternoons.

The office of the National Cathe-
dral Foundation has been asked to
settle a number of arguments about
the National Cathedral Choir. whose
singing is broadcast from Bethlehem
Chapel of the National Cathedral
every Sunday at pm. along with
the sermon of Rt. Rev. James u.
Freeman, Bishop of Washington.
1t is the contention of some of
the listeners over the radio that the
singing comes from a mixed choir.
AS a matter OF fact II is a choir
of men and boys. trained by Edgar
Priest, organist of the National
Cathedral, and the clear soprano
voices of the boys gives the impress
sion that women are singing.
One woman insisted she had seen
women singing in the choir, but upon
investigation it was found that she
had been visiting St. Adams Church
under the impression that it was the
cathedral. st. Adams Church is in
the Cathedral close, but Bethlehem
Chapel. where the o'clock services
take place is in the crypt of the
cathedral and unless one knows, it
is hard to believe that such a beau
tiful chapel can exist underground in
a structure so decidedly unfinished.
