the use Of chains on paved streets. ex-
cept in cases of snow or ice. They
are generally unnecessary and surely
will tend toward tire deterioration.
A tire damaged by chains should
go to the repair shop. Too much ex-
pert treatment is required TO bring
its usefulness back for the motorist
to attempt the repairs himself
When the streets are in such con-
dition that chains are necessary for
safe driving, by all means use them
and see that they are properly ap-
piled.

HOW. TO USE CHAINS.
Tight Fastening Likely to Ruin
Tires.

Tire chains, like many other useful
things, arc entirely proper when used
at the right time and in the right
manner. When adjusted badly, they
furnish a route to ruined tires.
Motorists often discover outs at
regular intervals around a tire. When
this condition is found, it is pretty
safe bet that tight chains were used
1t is never wise to fasten chains on
tightly. The more loosely chain is
applied, the less damage to the tire
will result. This is because a loose
chain distributes the strain all over
the tire instead of at certain points.
The wise motorist will also avoid

URGES "cAT" FOR CRIMINALS
London Official Says Brutal Crimes
Would End IL Old Method Of
Punishment Was Restored.

Spain 6rst adopted the .garrote"
Tor the execution Of criminals. This

which caused death by piercing the
spinal marrow. In London some years
ago footpads pursued q somewhat
similar method. one nearly suffocat-
ing the victim while the other ran
sacked his pockets. The popularity
OF this form Of .criminality was OBJ
liberated by the infliction Of the .eat''
upon all rOgues proved to have be-
come garroters. Recently at the Old
Bailey. which court exercises turis-
dictiOn over from 100000 to $780,
600 people, the recorder, Sir Ernest
Wild, h. c.. entertained q number Of
American lawyers, and, In the course
OF his speech. he expressed regret
that in England there was such
prevalence Of crimes Of violence.
which might be the aftermath Of the
war. The crime Of robbery with viO-
lence, he added. had been greatly re-
duced during the last year by the
infection of the "cat" in proper cases.
Certain ruffians, with no respect for
age or sex, who committed these
crimes. could only be fittingiy pun
ished in this way. He had no doubt
4 the "cat" could be inflicted for
armed burglary the same happy r.
suit would follow.
