Just Think of 1t.

More than 100000 tourists motored
through the Denver mountain parks
last year. In other words, everybody
in Delaware and Vermont, and half the
folks of New Hampshire could motor
out to Colorado this summer without
surprising the Denver folks in the least.
In Iowa the whole states population
could cavort in Iowa owned cars without

years ago must be turning over in their

Parking I'M. D." Cars.

Anyone who has waited for the arrival
OF the doctor in case Of emergency
will be quick TO appreciate and give
support to the suggestion that in the
congested sections of every city there
ought to be certain parking spaces
designated for physicians cars only.
Whether the physician is or is not al
lowed to violate parking ordinances in
case Of necessity. he always has a dlffi-
cult time of it finding a place for his
car. the patient suffering In the mean

AKRON, Ohio, June 3o.--Is IL pos
sible to have easy riding qualities on
pneumatic tires without sacrificing
tire mileage?
Is 1t necessary to keep your tires
pumped up hard in order to get good
tire service?
Just what is the answer to this pres
sure problem which concerns every au-
tomobile driver?
These questions have been answered
TO the satisfaction Of the car owner In
recent recommendations Of the Tire
Manufacturers Division of the Rubber
Association of America. These recon :
mendations say that IL is possible to get
easy riding qualities from your tires by
means Of carrying reasonably low air
pressures and at the same time get good
tire service.
Figure Out Pressure.
The problem which confronts tire
manufacturers was to find the lowest
without sacrificing good tire service.
This problem has been thoroughly
worked out for the benefit Of every car
owner.
The accompanying chart Of the Rub
Der Association has been tested out by
Goodyear engineers and approved. 1t
has been found that the imitation recon-
nended will permit easier riding and
greater comfort. while, at the same time,
if these pressure figures are strictly
followed, serviceability of the tires will
not be reduced.
This new pressure schedule does not
mean that the car owner can just forget
about the air question. II simply means
that pressure figures have been worked
out on a finer basis than ever before,
but to get the benefit from them 1t is

to do damage. In other words. it is the
pressure that your tires carry when you
drive up to the service station that is
important, rather than the pressure that
you carry when you leave.
1t will pay you to give a little more
attention to the pressure in your tires,
to be sure the figures recommended in
this table arc maintained. In that way
you will get the benefit of easy riding
qualities without running any great risk
of sacrificing good tire service.

TEST AUT0FUEL|NC
WHILE IN MOTION

Supplying automobiles with gas,
water and oil while in motion--if the
latest test stunt on the indianapolis
track can be taken as a prophecy-is
something which the motorist can
look forward to as a possibility of the
near future. according to Capt. Harry
Horton, local automobile dealer.

berg straight eight" says Capt. Hor-

distance from New York to Los An

Trains Watered I'm Route.

1T was once considered entirely
satisfactory to stop train while the

still more valuable TO the American
people, and today the fast flyers OF
the steel rails scoop up the necessary
supply of water from trouahs be-

off with a donation of $50 to the Amer

as follows:
Il believe in the United States Of

equality, justice and humanity for
which American patriots sacrificed

Constitution; to obey its laws; to re-
speet its flag; and to defend it against

HUMAN CORK APPEARS
AT LILY LAKE PARK.

Norris Kellam, known as the HUI
man Cork because of his unequaled
Floating Ability, presented his original
act at Lily Lake Park last Sunday
afternoon and to the large crowd IN

tional. Kellam introduced 50 stunts
in a clean and clever a The act
ran n hour. He eat, wrote, read,
smoked and juggled on h waters
surface.
The featuring stunt was a Leap for
Life. He allowed himself to be tied
hand and foot to a weighted chair,
blindfolded and hurled from a high
platform, into six feet of water. The
Cork, weighing $50 pounds, lost no
time falling, but he made a bad land
ing, fiat, frontward and arching his
back, broke the chair back and struck
bottom, hurting himself on the sharp
pivots of the chair. But after all he
made the surface within IA seconds,
with the broken chair, weight, uncut
ropes and blindfolded, and swam to
shore.
Kellam will attempt to repeat this
act this Sunday tomorrow afternoon
at $50, and invites every lady n
gentleman within a thousand miles to
attend. No admission is charged for
the exhibition, but a free will collec-
ton will be taken by the performer.
