BALLOON TIRES DO
NOT FIT ALL CARS

With balloon tires commanding I'M
usual interest from the motoring pub
lie, J. j. Cole, president and general
manager of the Cole Motor Car com
pany, sheds interesting light on the
balloon tire situation. Mr.. Cole holds
the distinction of being the first man
ufacturer in the country to adopt
these as regular and standard equip
ment. He has tested balloon tires I'M
der practically every condition and
has arrived at definite conclusions.
while I am more than convinced
of the practicability and seryiceabil-
ity of balloon tires, not only from a
comfort standpoint but an economic
standpoint as well, | know that the
best results cannot be obtained from
this latest product of our tire manu-
facturers unless the car is designed
to carry balloon tires.
Motorists should not make the
mistake of simply getting balloon
tires for the tires sake, but should
find out definitely if certain frnda-
mental rules of engineering do not
have to be compiled with before they
purchase.
In the first place, the most i'm
portant thing to consider is the item
of steering. Unless a special gear re-
duction is used, balloon tires are diff
ficult to handle A lower gear is re-
CURED for best results.
Balloon tires will not work with
any fender equipment, either. Spe-
cial tenders and skirts are often nee
essary Then there is also the ques-
ton Of rear axle design.
4 have been asked many times,
Are Saloon tires safer?' and Do
they not cut the mileage down? My
answer to these questions is: If the
cal. is engineered Gpr balloon tires,
they are safe and DO not require
more gasoline. Our records show bal
loon tires to be safer than ordinary
tires because they conform to the
road instead OF exerting pushing
or showing effort against the OBJ
stacles of the road. If car is engT
neered for balloon tires the gasoline
economy will not only be as good as
an ordinary tire, but better in many
instances.
@Then we must not overlook the
fact that the big cushioning effect
of these tires, acting as absorbers of
jars and bumps, materially help to
make q car last longer and stay away
from the service department.
I'VE find that balloon tires have
increased the efficiency of our brakes
to a very great degree. We have been
able to far outstrip our previous brak
ing tests with ordinary cord tires
tests which even then bettered most
standard braking charts.

GASOLINE TAX is
COMING NEXT

The gasoline tax is a measure Of
road use and a means of making the
user Of the road pay according to its
use.
While it measures benefits receiv
ed. it also takes into consideration
the ability to pay. A high priced
$4,000 car will run miles on a gal
Ion of gasoline for which the owner
will pay 2 c. A Ford will run Is miles
for which. the owner will pay &C. The
man with the costly car pays double
the amount for given mileage than
the man with the cheap car.
Not only is the gasoline tax an
equitable one, but it has other attrac
tive features. One is that the cost
Of administration or collection would
be exceedingly low, lower than any
tax we have. We have the machinery
set up for assessing" the gasoline
All gasoline coming into the state
is inspected by representatives of the
department which has operated for
years known as the Inspector of Ill
Eliminating Oils. Under the proposed
gasoline tax law all that would be
necessary to do would be for these
inspectors to make out duplicate
slip, return it to the secretary OF
state, and within a fixed time the
law would require the fee to be paid.
The wholesaler would pay the fee
when the gasoline arrived in quantity
Reports from throughout the cOun-
try show an amazingly low cost OF
administration, the highest being 1
per cent. In some states the secretary
of states office handles the matter
and makes no separate charge as the
regular employees do the work. It
would cost between $4,000 and $4,000
in Wisconsin. In Indiana the cost of
collecting $2,5OO,OOO was $4,000.
Another important feature is that
the tourists of which there are tens
Of thousands in Wisconsin every year
would, under the gasoline, tax help
to pay for the roads they wear out,
It is estimated that this would yield
$450,OOO a year.
Finally, the tax will be little felt
by the taxpayer as it is paid in small
amounts from week to week, and
does not hit him even as a license
does. Ten gallons Of gasoline in the
tank would mean zoe. The opportuni
ty for pyramiding the price as it is
caIIed, AIDING TO it on account OF the
tax, is removed by the fact that oil
dealers of Wisconsin announced they
proposed to do as many other states
post the regular price every day plus
the &c tax, like the movie picture
houses do on admissions.

COUNTY NURSE AT
MADISON MEET FOR
HEALTH WORKERS
GOlTRE, DENTAL HYGIENE AND
BABY CLINICS MATTERS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE

The prevention of goitre should be
started in it's early stages. The most
Important time being between the
ages of 10 and II, although the iodine
treatment is begun earlier in some
infants and also starts in people who
are well advanced in life, said Dr.
Guilford at the Public Health Confer
ence at Madison March 18th. the first
day of the conference. Goitre proven
ton is being carried on in many of
our Wisconsin Schools with great sue
cess. The treatment being given by
the Teacher or School Nurse, under
the direction of a physician. The 10
dine Treatment should not be given
unless it is given under the direc-
lions of physician said DR.. Guilford
This treatment is often financed by
Clubs and Organizations in the varis
Gus towns We all know that Villas
County is in the Goitre Belt, about
so per cent of our school children
have one. Why not interest our Parent
Teachers Associations in work of
this kind?
One afternoon was spent discussing
clinics, the main ones: tonsil and den
tai dental clinic work in both city
and rural districts was presented
and from all reports have been very
successful, where Dentists are plenti
full but in our County where we have
only two dentists we have a harder
problem to contend with Plans are
now being made to hold a Dental and
Tonsil Clinic in various parts of the
county this coming vacation, an eye
clinic will also be held in connection.
Several talks were given on Infant
and Pre-school Feeding by Dr. Sylvia
Stuessy and DR.. Mendenha1l of Madi-
son. DR.. F. j. Gaenslen, Milwaukee,
gave a demonstration on Muscle Train
ing. DR.. Smiley Blanton, associate
professor of Speech Hygiene, Univer-
sity of Wis. gave an interesting lee
ture on Personal Disorders of the
Child He said that the training of
the child should begin when he is
but a few days DID, not to let the
child have his way until he is year
or two and then try to form new ways
The child is very much like a grown
person, let a grown person have his
own way in everything for time and
when you stop doing that there is
trouble and you wonder what is
wrong, the same is true with child.
DR.. G. w. Henika, Deputy State
Health Officer read paper on The
Control of Communicable Diseases.
Considerable time was spent discus
sing nursing problems which come up
daily. Conference Hour was held
every morning from $50 to $50.
Nurses could meet the members of
the State Board of Health for person
al interviews.
Nurses from all parts of the. state
over two hundred in number were
present at this meeting, each felt that
the 1924 Conference was well worth
while and went home with some new
ideas which they will try and put in
to practice. County Nurse Ann Christ
man spent the week at Madison at
tending the meetings which were
held from March 18th to the 22nd.

WHAT ARE FARM BOYS
LEARNING IN HIGH SCHOOL

: Things that will enable them to
solve for themselves the complex
problems of freight rates ON farm
products?
Things that will enable them to
put on the market such a quality of
products as will secure the highest
prices and stimulate wider use of
home grown products?
Things that will enable them to
grow the things on their farms that
they should grow because of market
demand and suitability OF their
farms for growing the products?
Things that will enable them to
control the pests and diseases which
cut down the yields and profits?
Things thta will enable them to
vote intelligently on matters of pub
lie, social or economic concern?
Things that will enable them to
secure legislation in state or nation
thta will protect them from unfair
competition?
Things that will enable them to
produce so cheaply that tht public
will buy heavily at a price that will
still bring a reasonable profit?
Things that will make farming a
business?
These involve questions that the
farms of today are facing and the
farms of tomorrow must face. Will
the future farinre trust the gener-
osity of other groups to solve his
problems or will he study these
problems and work out his own sal
vstion.
Vocational agriculture as 1t is
taught in our local high school and
in other rural schools of the state of
fers a means of studying these prob
lens.
There is some talk of cutting
down expenses in our local school
by doing away with the vocational
work. What is OF more Importance
in our community where farming is
our leadingin dustry than vocational
agriculture? Will it not be more
to do away with this very
much needed department?
] am asking all farmers and bust
Tess men who are interested in the
of better farming in
his community to use their influ |
snce in helping to keep vocational
agriculture in our local high school.

THE OAKLEY HERALD AGAIN
READY FOR LOTS OF NEWS

The quantity of local news in The
Herald this week was somewhat
limited by the fact that some our
ourr machinery was tied up, waiting
the arrival of a highly important
electrical part from San Francisco
Last week we couldn't set line OF
news at home and got out the Her.
aid with the invaluable assistance OF
Manager Abbott and his force of the
Burley Bulletin. However, our lin
otype machine is in first class condi-
tion again and we are ready for lots
of news.
And now, before we forget it. how
about some more articles dealing
with pioneer history? The recent
publication in this paper of the au-
photography of James Mcbride sug-
gests that no doubt a great deal
more such valuable historical mater
ial is in the possession of citizens OF
this cunmunity. Articles. of that
sort should be beenfit, not only 70
the village and county, but to man
kind at large. In too many world
crises, only one side of the issue re-
ceives sympathetic treatment. Con-
sidering the world at large, the edi-
tor cannot help feeling that the anti,
Mormon key has been struck too Of
ten and too stridently. Fair play re-
quires that the pro- Mormon key be
struck in turn; requires also that
those outside the l.. d. So church
should listen carefully.
Let's have some more biographies
of Mormon" pioneers.
