AUTOISTS NEGLECTFUL
OF TIRE STATISTICS

Many motorists, as they sail alon-s
the highway with the family in the
back seat enjoying the scenery, prob
ably become skeptical of tire stats
tics when they get a sudden jolt o.
the left rear tire blows out. But thea :"
same motorists likewise probably "a II

which have been incorporated int ,
tires of today. The rate of consun1p-

to 1921. Since 1921, however, the rat

tire manufactur are of the opinicll
that approximately 81 tires per Ca.

drawn. Long trips over all kinds o.
roads demand greater tire strenEtfi

suggested that a regular fund be
established to defray the expenses OF

opposed by Past Commander James

funded the expense money which had
been paid to him by the camp to be
used in connection with his trip to

No. 6s.-Making Good Time.

Smith had wired that he would re-
turn home from his trip at an ap-
pointed hour in the afternoon, but
when the time arrived he failed to
put in his appearance. ] had planned
to return some of his hospitality by
running him down to the hotel for
dinner imm ediately upon his arrival.
and to this end / had parked in front
of his house. hoping to intercept him
before he would have an opportunity
to make other plans.
When Smith finally came into view
and saw me waiting there he was,
however. in no mood to conquer. He
was just plain sore about some
thing and in no frame of mind to
accept my invitation. Said that they
had had bite to eat along the road.
What happened?" j ventured to
ask, glancing hastily at the car to
see If the tires had been on the ram
page.
On n Slow Trip.
Nothing happened" he snapped
'The trip was slow. and that was the
trouble with it. Slow. Do you hear?
You told me I could make the return
trip in five hours easily"
Il can do ii if i don't have engine
trouble" said.
I'D like to see YOU" Smith chaI-
lenged. Il didn't have so much as
spark plug to clean. and hit 'er up
to 80 several times, yet here's the
result. Eight hours. Just three more
than you predicted. AS d prophet
you're about as accurate as Il compass
in a powerhouse.''
You must have lost your way"
attempted to explain.
Il lost nothing but my temper"
was the reply. Game straight
through without having TO retrace
my steps anywhere. Hadn't a detour
anywhere. No punctures. Car never
ran better Believe me. If you came
over that route and thought it took
you only five hours there was some
thing wrong with your watch. Why
| had to wait A. minutes at one of
those ferries and half hour at an
other"
That was the first clue he had
given me.
why did you wait SO long at the
first ferry"' ! began.
Just missed the one before by five
minutes"
after you crossed the river did
you try to make up for lost time:"
Sure ] did But I'd have to have

But suppose he must stop for gas,
stop to read the signposts. stop to
see If the engine has enough oil and
so on" Smith argued. "All that takes
time.'
You bet it does" ] agreed. and
that's just why some tourists make
such good time; they never stop for
anything"
But i don't fancy being race
driver" Smith said.
Making Good Time.
"You don't have to be. As a mat
ter of fact, the drivers who make
the best time on trips are the sort
you and other erratic motorists con-
stantly pass. They keep plugging
right ahead at so or 50 miles an hour.
never stopping to see If they have
gas, because they filled the tank be-
fore they started; never worrying
about the engine, because they in
spected it in the morning; never hes
itating at the crossroads. because
they studied the road map SO care
fully that the trip is like second ma
ture.
Chaps like YOU go dashing past
these 'pluggers.' But after you have
been forcing the car for Il few miles
at high speed you begin to worry
about the fan belt. You stop. You
raise the hood. You find nothing
wrong. While you are cranking the
engine the 'plugger' pa sses you. You
decide to pass him or bust. You pass
him, all right, but one OF your tires
does the busting. That detains you
just - minutes, because you work
fast. But in the meantime the plug
ger gets eight miles ahead of you
catches the ferry and gains an addi-
tional As minutes running time"
AS Smith himself finally admit ed
when he had cooled down, making
good time is a matter OF good judg-
ment, bearing always in mind the old
adage, The more haste the less
speed

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY WILL
 SPEND MANY MILLIONS
 FOR NEW STRUCTURES

CHICAGO, H., Dec. 13.-The de- velopment program of the University of Chicago involves obtaining ST., 500,OOO during 1925, which will be spent principally for new buildings and in creating an endowment fund, it was announced today by Harold H. Swift, president of the board of trustees and Ernest Dewitt Burton, president of the University.
 In securing this sum for it's inn mediate needs, Swift said, the in stitution must rely largely upon its alumni, citizens of Chicago and the middle west. John D. Rockefeller, who has been the universitys larg- est benefactor, made his final con- tribution in 1920.
 The most pressing need for the university, the statement said, was for $6,50O,0OO for endowment of teaching and research. It is the in tention to accomplish within fifteen years, if possible, doubling of the present resources of the university approximately $54,O0O,000.
 "We do not aim to create the wealthiest, nor the largest, of Amer ican universities" said Swift. What we seek is to build the best possible university for service in the region and in the particular fields where it's opportunities and responsibilities lie."
 The building program under the 17,500,000 project includes $4,600,- 900 for instruction and research; $3, OOO,0OO for development of the col leges, and $3,40O,OOO for service buildings. A committee composed
