SAYS WE BATTLE TOO MUCH.
Doctor Advocates Less Tubing and
More Changing of Clothes.

From the New York Sun and Globe.
You needn't mention this to your
landlord, but the question has been
raised In an academic way whether
the taking Of baths isn't an over
rated and strictly sybaritic rite
whether. in fact. bathtub shouldn't
be regarded in much the same light
as piano, an article of luxury for
the tenant to acquire If the spirit so
moves him.
Really getting into the water, you
know. hot or cold or tepid. and more
that process positively essential to
your health and well being. or do you
only imagine that 1t is?
A standing committee of the house
of commons has just decided that 1t
isn't. The question came up in con-
nection with the housing bill. Labor
members wished 1T to be made a fea-
ture of the bill that a fixed bath
should be installed in every house
converted into flats or tenements
pooh-poohed the idea of making bath
tubs compulsory.
A New York doctor is authority for
the statement that people would do
better to battle less and change their
clothes oftener.
Mark Twain was laughed at" he
said. when he tried to start the
fashion of wearing white washable
outer clothing all the year round.
like the orientals. but he had the
right idea. Frequent changes and
washings of clothing would demon
strate our devotion to cleanliness far
more intelligently than frequent bath
ing. and would make us more agree
able to our neighbors.,
THE body Is a self cleansing. self
bathing and self-cooling apparatus.
In a state of perfect health (Which
implies adequate exercise) ii would
never need bath. The body of a
coal miner beneath his blackened face
| and neck is as clean as a well kept
| baby's."

HOLDS TIRE TROUBLE
DUE.TO POOR TUBES
Underinfation and Unbranded
Articles Handicap
Casing.

The safety Of motorists tire in
vestment depends very largely upon
a very small percentage Of that in
vestment-approxim 10 per cent
of 1t. That is about what he pays
for tube. A great part of tire
trouble is the direct result of under
imitation with the inner tube as the
offender. Yet the average car owner
neither knows the name of his tubes
nor the length of their service.
Cheap and unbranded tubes handi-
cap any casing. The best is at the
mercy of the poor tube. The differ
ence In tubes Is tremendous. A
standard make inner tube is built OF
almost pure rubber and has
tons per square inch cross-section
This means that If the tube stock
were built up to square test piece
one inch thick and one inch wide, 1t
would be strong enough to lift from
two to three thousand pounds In
ferior tubes do not have this strength
and are highly compounded.
On an average it is possible to
build life into a tube only equal to
that of a casing. 1t is false economy.
according to the Miller tire testing
department, to use an old tube in a
new casing. Inferior and worn out
tubes should be quickly discarded.
The tube which has delivered full
service during the life of one tire is
almost certain to have developed slow
leaks. When tube fails to hold air
1t is worthless.
AS general average in all service
1t has been found that pressure in a
tire properly taken care of and when
a good tube is used will decrease
about five pounds in two weeks.
When this ratio is greatly exceeded,
the tube should be examined without
delay before the life of the tire is
sapped.
With a standard make of tire, 1t is
wise to use a standard make Of tube.
Bargain" tubes mean troubles and
ruin the profit and pleasure in motor
ing.

first driver covered the distance un-
der ideal weather and road condi-
tions in about five hours. The sec
ond driver made the same trip dur
ing a rain. when the roads were slip
perry, in less than four hours. And
the second journey was by far the
safer
Why? Simply because the second
driver was efficient. He had his car
under control at all times. He did
not make a move that he knew would
not turn out just exactly as he ex-
pected, such as in passing other vehi-
cles and In approaching and making
turns.
The first driver was uncertain; he
took chances when he had no right to
do so. and when conditions were in
his favor he did not make the best
use of them. He had progressed but
little since the first time he learned
to drive a motor car.
How many of US are real students,
anxiously trying to find out how we
may improve our driving? How many
of us are giving this important mat
ter the attention which 1t deserves?

HOSE HURTS CAR BODY.

While the commonly used rubber
hose is perhaps the best method of
cleaning the lower portions of the
car, such as wheels, running gear and
mud guards. 1t is positively injurious
when used on the body and highly
finished surfaces. The force with
which the stream of water impinses
on the surface causes the sand and
dirt adhering to the body to be driven
into the varnish. destroying its brill
liancy, and no amount OF polishing
and rubbing will restore its former
luster. The body should be washed
with lukewarm soap water and i'm
mediately dried with a soft chamois.

the things which he thought should
be eliminated is the right of motor
lists to turn into intersecting streets
He said that motorists should be
compelled to cross straight across
streets under traffic control and
should not be allowed to change di-
rection until they reached an inter-
section less congested and not under
traffic control
If motorists were required to go
straight ahead at the signal go and
could not turn into intersecting
streets after starting forward, there
would be less crowding and jam ming
on intersecting streets, where traf-
fic usually is waiting its turn to
move forward" Mr.. Bryant declared.

HOW TO IDENTIFY LEAKS.

To tell whether the engine is leak
ing gas. oil or water 1t is a good plan
to spread a newspaper under the
front of the machine when leaving it
over night in the garage. Water and
gasoline will soak through the paper.
while oil will tend to remain on top.
The odor of the saturated piece of
paper will enable the driver to dis
tinguish between water and gasoline.
A certain amount of kerosene, how
ever will be found on the paper. This
is due to condensation of the kero-
sene content in the modern gas We
buy. This collects in the intake
manifold when the engine cools and
runs back into the carburetor. from
where 1t overfloWs to the floor.

LIABILITY FOR GUESTS.

Q. a motorist invited friend to
accompany him upon a pleasure drive
and during the drive met with an
accident, wrecking his car and in
jurng his guest May the guest hold
the motorist liable in damages for
the injuries sustained
A. The mere fact that the injured
person was a guest will not excuse
the motoriSt. If the injuries sus-
of the motorist the guest may hold
him liable, provided the guest was
not guilty of contributory negligence.
Broadly speaking. one who invites
another to ride with him as a guest
is bound to exercise reasonable care
in the operation of his car, and. If he
fails to do this and injury results to
the guest, the latter may hold him
liable.

GIVES TIRES A CLEANING.

At the end of every $500 miles of
service a tire should be debated, dis
mounted, soapstone and grit removed
and the inside of the casing washed
with gasoline.
After drying, the inside should be
busted with tale. the tire mounted
and the tube charged with fresh air
and then you're ready again for a
spin,

PULLING OUT OF MUD.

Getting stuck in the mud is usually
a nightmare for the average motorist.
When he lets in the clutch one wheel
spins around madly. digging deeper
into the mire while the other re-
mains unconcerned. Or it may be
that the wheels elect to exchange
roles. OF course, he can resort to
wrapping the chains around the
wheels to serve as mud hooks, but
that's job for a mud hen. The
simpler plan is to set the emergency
brakes so as to just bind the wheels
a bit. This offers each wheel enough
resistance SO that the power dashe S
back and forth from one wheel to the
other and is forced to actuate each
one gradually rather than be diverted
by the differential entirely to one
wheel.

Mary Pickford in her new Tess

at the Eltinge for three days only
beginning today, Tuesday with the
usual matinee at $3.50.
There is no doubt rs to the wis

She has written an important
chapter into screen history in the
manner. in which she has produced

essayed this revival with the idea
Of creating q classic which would
live in poste rity, there is every in

ADEQUATE success in the ambition.
1t is confidently predicted, by most
of the best versed critics chat this
1922 model Of "Tess Of the Storm
Country" is going to he popular
attraction for decades to come and
that future generations are sure to
che IRISH the memory OF this great
artist through her sterling histrionic
