Tire Tale Recommended
as Superior Lubricator

Tire tale, rather than graphite and
other oily preparations, makes the
best lubricator between the inner tube
and the casing.
Motorists are cautioned, however, to
exercise care in the use of tire tale.
as too much Is fully as damaging as
too little. Too free use of tire tale
a special prepared soapstone for tire
use-will cause quantity of the pow
er collecting in one place, generate
heat, give the tube soft and bubbly
appearance and form a weak spot.
The tale should be distributed evenly
over the surface; shifting or rotating
tube Is simple and efficient method
Graphite Is an excellent lubricator
for tire subjected to extra heavy duty
and excessive speeds. Racing drivers
use graphite, but only after sitting
through sieve made of cheesecloth
onto the revolving tube. This meth
cd is necessary, otherwise several
flakes of graphite might accumulate in
one point, thereby causing deteriora-
tion-the oil in graphite being foe to
rubber.
For the average motorist--for the
man who does not run his car continu-
ously, day in and day out, the judi
cious use of tire tale Is strongly rec.
commended.

.MOTORTRUCK BIC
HELP TO FARMER
Economical Movement OF
Live Stock and Other
Produce to Markets.

In less than two years this country
has witne ssed an amazing development
in transI ortation over our highways
Economic al movement of live stock and
other pre- duce from the farm, and the
increasing shipments of various kinds
of freight by motortruck has become a
constantly growing problem for the
road builder. Transportation in this
country has a direct bearing upon most
of the p 'oblems which the American
people m Ist meet and solve. The farm,
with it's foodstuffs, must be brought
closer to the city buyers. The farmer
must be able to sell his produce more
nearly direct to the consumer. The
economical transportation of freight by
motortru'k k should be encouraged and
aided in so far as it does not deprive
the railroads of their just share Of the
business. interviewer with this prob
lem Of transportation is the fact that
the motortruck, if properly developed,
will go a long way toward solving our
transportation problems, and bringing
about a natural economic solution Of

Automobile Now Termed
Neighborhood Expander

The automobile has made neighbor-
hood a bigger term. With good car
it is as easy to visit your friend ten
miles distant as it used to be to call
on one within sight Of your home.
Not only has the automobile enlarged
the neighborhood; it has in a sense
made the whole country one neigh
borhood, and broken down sectional
lines.
1t is an interesting study during the
touring season to note the states from
which cars hail as they speed by on
pleasure bent. Remote parts Of the
Union will be found represented in
every popular touring section. Those
who travel by automobile come into
more intimate touch with the coun-
try than those who travel by train.
The car goes right by the door; the
life of the people unfolds in an ever
changing panorama.
The motorist who keeps his eyes
open can get a knowledge of the
country and the people excelled only
by that of the pedestrian as he moves
at his snail-like pace. Added -knowl-
edge always means the breakdown
Of sectional lines. Give credit, then,
to the automobile as unifying infiu.
ence in national life.

Experiment has shown that when
the electrodes Of a spark plug are
formed to sharp point, and a high
tension current passed through, the
gap which the current will jump may
be much greater than if the ends Of
the electrodes are formed blunt in the
usual manner. This knowledge has
been used on cars which have given
trouble due to the plugs fouling from
the oil. After the electrodes had been
sharpened, they were set to the usual
gap, after which they gave no further
trouble from fouling. The probable
explanation of this is that the oil does
not collect so readily on the small
points, or that the current cuts through
the oil more easily. 1t will be neces-
sary to adjust the gap distance more
frequently as the small points burn
away quicker than the blunt points.

how to bring the farm and it's produce
closer to the city consumers, and how
to adequately relieve our existing
transportation problem.
Purpose Of Truck.
The motortruck is here to stay. The
sole purpose Of the truck is to carry
loads-anything and everything we eat
and wear or in other ways use-over
the road. Out of this change in trans
portation has come truck traffic." of
which We speak just as easily as
though 1t had always been with us.
Truck traffic requires three things: the
truck, the goods to be hauled, and the
road. Just as the development of rail-
road motive power progressed beyond
development Of railroad roadbed, SO
has the development Of the motortruck
business developed beyond the ability
of the highways for which 1t was pri-
marily intended.
Damage Done by Truck.
Because the roads have not been
ready to withstand that sort of traffic,
there has been an uproar in some Sec
tions of the country against the motor
truck. There are those who claim that
in spite of all that the truck has
achieved, its return to the public does
not compensate for the damage which
it has done to highways never built in
anticipation of its coming. Here and
there legislation of various kinds has
been proposed to limit speed and
weight of the truck and the load which
it may carry. In other words, instead
of building the road to fit the load ex-
tremists have taken various measures
to block progress of highway develop
ment that must be provided for because
1t is natural development of our
transportation system and because 1t
Is here to stay.
Our present roads were built to
carry certain load. Over 80 per cent
of our roads today were not built to
carry heavy traffic. Neither were our
railroads originally built for the traffic
and rolling stock that today they must
withstand. 7

Low Gear Effective

In driving down steep grades
various resistances may be uti-
lized to keep the car under con-
troll. If the engine is kept run
ming and the gears are in high,
there is only slight resistance.
This may be increased by SHIFT
ing into second speed and fur
ther increased by shifting into
first. When still further resist
ance is needed to maintain
check on the progress of the car
and it is not desired to use the
brakes, the ignition may be shut
off and the throttle closed. BY
opening the throttle the resist
ance is still further increased.
The maximum of resistance and
the best control on dangerous
ly steep hill may be obtained by
shifting into first, switching Off

FROM THE CHICAGO DAILY TRI
BUNE

A bill to increase the pay of the
federal judiciary is under cOnsiderat-
ion by Congress. Without pretend
ing to pass upon the adequacy Of the
salaries fixed in this measure, our OPP
inion is that they are in some cases at
least too low rather than too high,
and in no cases too high.
BY this measure the chief justice
Is given $20,50 instead of $4,000
and associate justices $4,000 instead
Of $4,000, when any proper consid-
Grafton is given to the tremendous re-
sponsibilities Of this court of final
review and guardian of our constitu-
tional rights the sums named above
are, we think, not merely modest but
inadequate. It is true that a
man does not aspire to the lofty
judicial honor of the Supreme bench
for mere money. But, on the other
hand. unless he have a private
fortune he must consider provision
for his family and scale Of living
commensurate, with the needs and
proper wants, both material and Soc
ial, of such man as we would have
in this court. The republic must ex-
pect to meet some competition with
the great rewards of private practice
and it is penny wise pound foolish to
trade on the prestige of the high place
for the sake of saving a few thousand
a year on the salary roll.
What nation wants is the great
est ability it can get, and while this
is not matter of salary merely, sal
airy should be fully adequate.
This applies TO all the federal judi
iciary which is underpaid at any rate
in the circuits which involve living in
the large cities, where the cost of liv-
ing is high, This bill provides a slid
ing scale of compensation for both
Circuit and District Judges the latter
from SIS 1000, for New York $4,000
Eighth and Ninth Circuits, and 3d.
600 for the First, Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth. District judges are to be paid
$4,000 except where the population
of his district is over 100000 the
salary shall be increased by $500 for
every 100000 in excess of 100000
until It reaches a sum $1,000 less
than the salary of the Circuit Judge
on the circuit in which the district is
situated.
This measures seems well consid-
cred and ought to be enacted. The
federal judiciary, especially of Che
Supreme Court and the great centers
of litigation, carry very heavy bur-
den of work, and the Supreme Court
has responsibilities which in the long
run are greater than any other branch
of government. We think more at
tention should be given to the per-
sonnet of the judiciary and to the need
for getting the very best available
men on the federal bench We think
there has been of late years a tenden-
cy to make judicial appointments as
payments for political debts. More Cir
cult and District Judges of proved alb
ility should be promoted. Salary is.
of course not the sole factor, but the
laborer is worthy of his hire, and an
judiciary is neither neees-
sary nor consistent with justice to
the public service or with national
dignity.

TRADE INFLUENCE

For many years, we have been
sponsoring every movement destined
to make Charles Town the important
trade center of this section. We
want to see the commercial influence
of our city expand year by year. We
want to see our business men enjoy
q larger volume Of business from the
surrounding country, and we also
want to see our farmers find greater
profit in doing their trading in
Charles Town.
We are not purely mercenary. in
this. Naturally we want to live in a
more prosperous city. But there is a
deeper and more significant motive
back Of our efforts.
1t is this. We believe the town
that enjoys large volume of trade
from the farming country surround
ing it, is the town that has solved the
problem OF creating a proper rela-
tionship between town and country.
Ii we get our farmers in here to
trade, we will get acquainted with
them personally. We will learn more
about their problems, we will all
come to understand something of the
common interests of all the citizens
Of this entire county.
zone of the greatest problems of
this country is to create better and
more friendly spirit between town
and country" said prominent
speaker not long ago. He argued
that the envy, animosity, and sus-
picion that keeps farmers and citizens
of small towns separated now, is one
of the greatest of all foes of true
progress in our country.
The farmer and the business man
with whom he deals have one great
interest in common-namely to build
up more prosperous agricultural
community, and to make life richer.
happier, and more comfortable for all
concerned.
To realize this aim, the farmer and
the small city business man must
work hand in hand. But before they
can work together for the benefit of
the community, they must come to
know and like each other as the re-
suit of the business service rendered
Our business men, we can safely
say, enjoy the friendship of a vast
number of farmers in this communi-
ty. But there is always room for i'm
provement. So let every merchant
work to extend the trade influence of
Charles Town. 1t is matter of
vital Importance in the growth of
our community.
