High Speed Dries Tires
and Makes Blowout Easy

One of the most expert tire men in
the country recently called the atten-
ton Of motorcar owners to the man
ner in which tire wear increases with
speed. The faster tire travels, the
more heat it generates internally.
Normal speed does not increase the
internal heat to a dangerous degree,
but excess speed will not only raise
the heat above the danger point, but
may actually cause further vulcani-
cation to take place. This heat not
only dries out the friction gum be-
tween the plies of fabric but the very
fabric itself, lowering the elasticity OF
the tire, decreasing its resiliency and
weakening the tire so that it will
blow out early.

MAKING THE BEST OF A

T MADE a thoroughly bad bargain
with Grover when l was nineteen. l

he took advantage of me cruelty. l
was to stay with him for year for a
trifing remuneration, and during that
time he was to teach me as much of
his trade as / could master.
Precious little he taught me, but l
really learned more that year than
during any similar time before or
since had never before been subject
to anyone; I'd never had a boss except
ing my own will and pleasure, but l
was to learn what it meant to work
under orders, to do unpleasant and
difficult things and never to receive
word of praise for the doing.
l was ordered about by everyone In
the Office All the drudgery and the
dirty work was shunted upon me, and
there were tasks that had to be done
no matter how much overtime 1t took.

about.

MODERN INCONVENIENCE

T HAVE just had letter from Wat
l. son, a rural friend of mine who con-
templates moving to town, and, know
ing as he does that am an old settler
in my community, he asks me to help
him find suitable place in which to
live. He wishes, he says, "a medium
sized house with all the modern in
conveniences. Perhaps 1t is only a
slip of the pen for he Is none too
erudite; possibly he was serious In
what he said; in either case l under
srand him.
There is a good deal said on occa-
sion concerning the discomforts and
privations which our pioneer ancestors
suffered-the meagerness of heat and
light and means of communication with
the outside world with which they
had to put up, and the almost COM
plete lack of modern machinery.
/ am not at all sure that the hard
ships of modern life are any less
severe than those my grandfather suf-
fered.
No man who has telephone in his
house has any chance for uninter-
rupted leisure day or night. 1t was
raining this afternoon; / could not go
out, l was alone, so l decided to do a
little construction work in the base
ment. l had only settled down to
business when heard the telephone
bell jangling. At first / decided to
ignore it, but then 1t might be Inn
portant so / rushed upstairs almost
breaking my neck in an attempt to get
there before the caller rang off, only
to find that the operator had called
the wrong number. / am not at all
convinced that the man who invented
the telephone conferred an unmixed
blessing upon humanity.
Electric lights are wonderful, but
we had to resort to the old-time can
dies the other night while the local
dynamos were being repaired. Water
pipes and automobiles and oil heat
ing plants bring their inconvenience
which sometimes outnumber their
comforts

Influence of Hard Roads

The influence of paved highways Is
reflected in better farming conditions.
Those farmers fortunate enough to De
near a newly paved road can turn
from the staple farm products and de-
velop those types Of farming which
bring better and quicker returns. On
the unimproved roads truck gardening
is usually limited to radius OF or
2 miles from the city market But
with the coming of paved roads ana
the use of trucks this radius is extend
ed to 10, Is and in some cases ~ mlles
from the market. Naturally the value
of the land in this radius Is consider
ably increased.

Make Tractor Pay Board

Every farmer who owns a tractor
should plan to use 1t as much as
possible during the winter season.
Saving wood. grinding feed, shelling
corn and hauling are among the duties
10 which the tractor can now be put.
II IS much easier and warmer to grind
ones own feed at home than It is TO
drive several miles TO a feed mill IN
cold weather. Naturally. the number
of Jobs available to the tractor in win
ter time is limited the same as Is
true of the horse.

WASTE ELIMINATION

kidneys, liver and stomach are affected and
attendant aches and pains are but forerun-
ners of more serious trouble should the
condition develop into chronic constipation.
Frankly. constipation is not easily cor

But we want more than that. We want
to win that sense of well-being that comes
only when the entire digestive system func-
tions naturally and consistently.
Faithful treatment with a non-habit
forming medicine like Jaques' Digestive
Capsules will, in most cases, accomplish
this. BY ministering to the entire diges-
tive tract, and not to just one organ, this
remedy not only corrects constipation but
helps the whole digestive system to func.

WINDSHIELD FOR
REAR AUTO SEAT
Heavy Material for Con-
struction Can Be Avoided
by Using Celluloid.

windshields used on rear seats of
automobiles are usually constructed
of thick plate glass and require sub
stantial metal frame to hold them in
position. This heavy construction can
be avoided by making the shield of
celluloid and metal rod as shown in
the drawing. 1t is easy to adjust and
there will be no danger of being cut
by broken glass, should an accident
occur.
Framework Of Brass.
The framework is made of A-inch
brass rod, bent to the shape indicated.
Iron rod can also be used provided it
is painted to prevent rust. Four pieces
of 1-32-inch ceIluloid are cut to fit in

Associate of Aaron Burr

Blennerhassett's island is an island
In the Ohio river near Parkersburg,
w. Va, famous as the residence of
Herman Blennerhassett, wealthy
Irishman The island was purchased
by him in 1898, and spacious man
sion was erected on it. In 1905 he
was visited by Aaron Burr and induced
to assist him in his reasonable scheme
of founding an empire in the West.
Blennerhassett was arrested as one Of
Burr's accomplices, but was finally
discharged without trial. His house
and grounds were ruined by mob.
The remainder of his life was spent
in an unavailing attempt to retrieve
his fortunes.-Kansas City Star.

Way to Harden Iron

At times it is desirable to harden
small cast iron parts Here's how !:
Take half pint of sulphuric acid, two
quarts of common salt, one-half pound
Of saltpeter, two pounds of alum, a
quarter pound of prussiate of potash,
quarter pound of cyanide of potash
and dissolve in ten gallons of soft wa
ter. Heat the iron to cherry red
and dip in the solution. If the parts
are wanted hard, repeated heating
and dipping will be necessary.

Correct Proportion
of Gasoline Mixture

The correct proportion of gaso-
line for a perfect fuel mixture is
OF of pound of gas to pound
of dry air.
1t is possible to operate on a
mixture containing as much as
- of a pound of gas to the
pound Of dry air, which is nearly
twice as much gasoline as is
needed.
This wide range of mixture
strength constitutes the greatest
factor In wastage of gasoline.
The majority of car owners run
more nearly at the maximum
strength than at the minimum,
which would give them better re-
suits. They are Using nearly
twice as much fuel as there is
any need for. Think 1t over.

Cleaning Commutator

When the generator commutator be-

contact with the copper surface, the
engine being run meanwhile. Fine
sandpaper only should be used. EN-
cry cloth should never be employed.
