Timely Tips VIII Help
the Careful Car Driver

Tire chains are an almost indis-
pensable motoring accessory In wet
weather, but many a car owner has
ruined his tires because he did not
give the chains proper consideration.
First Of all, chains should be of the
proper size; not so tight as to eat into
the tires tread and side walls nor SO
loose as to slip under strain. They
should be adjusted to creep slightly so
as to distribute the wear over the tire.
Put on chains when they are needed
no sooner and no later And take
them of as soon as the need LIS past.
Keep them on the tires as long as they
add to driving safety but not mo-
ment longer. This advice is particu-
larly applicable to paved highways.
Apply brakes even more cautiously
when chains are being used. A sud
den application Of the brakes locks the
wheels and often causes the chains to
eat into the rubber.

Illinois Completed 900
Miles of Road in 1925

BY laying 900 miles of pavement In
1925, Illinois completed more mileage
than in any previous year except 1928
and 1924, the division of highways de-
clared in a statement 'gThis addi-
tional mileage" the statement said,
sis not only of great value to traffic
in the local communities, but adds
much to the value of the mileage al
ready existing by making it possible
to reach points heretofore isolated by
earth roads.
Perhaps the greatest measure of
local relief was given to the west CEN
trail portion of the state between the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers, where
much heavy grading had been done
during previous years, but where pave
ment could not be completed prior to
this year because of the necessity of
waiting for heavy fills to settle. Ev-
cry effort will be made to continue
the highway work of Illinois in 1928
at the same record-breaking rate"

To Prevent Sticking of
Tires After Vulcanixins

The sticking of tires to the mold
after vulcanization has always been a
great source of annoyance to all re-
pairmen. The best applications here
tofore used as possible representatives.
have been lacking in some respects.
Therefore the discovery by a repair
man of Perth Amboy, N. J., of the use
of a material which overcomes this
trouble will be welcomed by vulca-
MIXERS everywhere. Since the discov-
cry is so simple, the wonder is that
no one has reported it before.
SO simple a substance as cocoa but
ter solves the problem. The method
followed is this:
Clean the mold thoroughly with fine
emery paper. Then after allowing it
to warm up a little, go over 1t with a
piece of cheesecloth saturated with
cocoa butter. Next wipe till glossy
and apply soapstone.
This method of preparing the mold
has been tried in the Goodyear repair
school and found to work perfectly.

Education of Children
and Building of Roads

Two of the big items in public ex-
pense are the education of the chill
dren and the building Of good roads.
Does anybody seriously propose to
stop in any degree financing school
privileges and opportunities or halt
ing the good roads program? The cost
of chewing gum, cigarettes and cos
metics is greater than the combined
cost of the public and private schools,
colleges and universities, and lifting
the highways of the nation out of the
mud. Good roads are big dividend
payers, and the education of the chill
dren much more necessary and profit
able. There are plenty Of places to
economic without throwing the mon
key wrench of disaster into the school
houses or the road machinery. st.

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH'
ONE CAUSE FOR SLEEPING
SICKNESS

Tor a number Of years past the
A newspapers have occasionally re-
ported either epidemies of sleeping
sickness" or individual cases in which
patient has slept continuously or
almost continuously for days or even
weeks at time The average reader
has probably connected this name
with what he has read of some
strange disease in the tropics and has
wondered if some new and strange
bug" has invaded this country.
The sleeping sickness which occa-
sionally occurs in this country is
something entirely different and dis
tinct from the tropical disease, the
true sleeping sickness, which so far
as known has never appeared IN the
United States. The so-called sleeping
sickness reported in our papers is
really form of meningitis or infiam-
nation of the membrane covering
the brain, only In this form the most
prominent symptom is drowsiness or
even deep sleep continued over long
period of time.
The cause of this peculiar form of
meningitis is not clearly known. In
an article in a recent issue of the
Journal Of the American Medical As
ISOLATION, DR. william Browning, a
well-known nerve specialist of Brook
Ign, makes an interesting suggestion
as to its cause.
Doctor Browning has for many
years given careful attention TO the
amount of sleep his patients were
getting. In attending number of
cases of sleeping sickness, he was inn
pressed with the fad that most OF
those who contracted this disease had
been exhausted from overwork and
fatigue and especially had gone with
out sufficient sleep. Further observa.
ton increased the belief that INSULT
cient sleep was one of the principal
causes for this strange disease.
In his paper he presents twenty.
eight cases of sleeping sickness, each
one of which followed long periods of
short allowance of sleep. One boy OF
eighteen was staying out night after
night with a crowd of associates. A
man of fifty-fve, while never out eve
nings, 'sat up until all hours" with a
new radio. A high school boy, am
bilious to stand at the head of his
class, studied until midnight every
night and got up at six o'clock. A
clerk, who was trying to educate him
self, rose at a. M. never got home
until eight or nine o'clock at night
and then read until a. m. Physi-
clans and nurses who naturally lose
much sleep are particularly subject
to this disease.
The body needs certain amount OF
rest. You can cheat it for long
time but in the end you'n pay.

ROADS MUCH
HELP TO DIARIES

r. L. Browne, agricultural economist
Of the Department of Agriculture, has
prepared a report to the government
publication Public Roads," on the
growth of milk transportation by motor
truck to Chicago. In discussing the
average rates from various dairy To-
calities Browne says:
"Good roads are a prerequisite to
successful motor truck operation. The
unfortunate operator who tries to
maintain his service over highways
which are virtually impossible for a
part of the year finds that his daily
operating costs far exceed the average
normal expenses, and eventually he
realizes that his profits are seriously
affected. Very few operators appre-
ciate the increased expense which re-
suits in this way from bad roads
'As an instance of the value Of hard
roads, a large Chicago dairy believed
for a time it would have to abandon
its plant. AS the section in which the
plant was located Is a highly produc-
tive dairy district, the company made
every effort to find another means of
transportation. About this time the
Rand road was completed, furnishing
forty-six miles of hard-surfaced road
to the city. An installation of two
tank trucks and two trailers is now
operated daily between this station
and the Chicago plant, with the re-
suit that the highway has saved the
closing down of the plant and the
community retains profitable place
to market its milk"
The rates charged for country haul
ing are directly proportional to the
distance and condition of the roads on
the various routes, and Browne says
that dairymen living along unimproved
highways pay from 25 to 80 per cent
more than those in sections where inn
proved roads have been completed.
The value of an improved road to a
community, he points out, can easily
be measured in the light of these facts.
The rates range from eight cents
per hundred pounds for relatively
short distances over improved roads
to twenty-five cents for tweive-mile
haul. Where the rates seemed high 1t
was found that the trucks operated
over the roads which had not been
improved. For example, milk delivered
to the station at Dundee Is transported
over gravel and paved roads for dis
tances Of three to fifteen miles at
rate of from twelve to eighteen cents
per hundred pounds, while twenty-five
miles west of Dundee at Herbert the
haulage over dirt roads for distances
of from three to twelve miles is TWEEN
ty to twenty-five cents.
In 1924 Browne reports that approx
imateIy $4,000 eight-galion cans OF
milk were delivered daily to Chicago
by twenty-six railroads. which carried
So per cent of the supply, and 14l
motor trucks which transported 80 pei
cent. Milk delivered in any other way
was negligible in amount.

PREVENTING DEAFNESS

TIME only way we can learn about
i the world outside ourselves is
through our five senses. All our
knowledge comes to us through feel
ing, smelling, tasting, hearing and see
ing. These are all forms of feeling,
working through our special sense or
gans, the skin, the nose, the tongue,
the eyes and the ears, We need all
of them and the more keen and sensi-
tive they are the more easily we train
our minds to perform all OF LIES
functions. .
Every one agrees that Of these fvel
senses, hearing and seeing are the
most important and valuable Sight
is the most important Of all but hesSa-
ing is nearly as important The dear
person loses almost as much as the
blind
Naturally, the more delicate and
sensitive the sense, the more compli-
Gated the sense organ. The ear is one
of the finest and most delicate pieces
OF machinery in the body. In order
to protect it from harm nature has
wisely placed it deep In bony case
where it is protected from injury.
So long as the ear drum is unin-
jured the inner part of the ear is pro-
tected from infection from without, as
this little membrane closes the canal
and keeps out any infected material
But the eustachian canal, the little
tube running from the middle ear to
the back of the throat, is open and up
this little tube often passes infected
material which causes serious infiam-
nation in the ear.
For this reason adenoids in the
throat, discharges from the nose or
any form of throat infection in chill

ton. Children should be taught to
keep their fingers out Of their mouths

eating and to keep their teeth clean

Wet Senators Make Interesting
Admissions
Occasionally the fight shifted from the
committee room to the floor of the Sen
ate Senator Reed was anxious to post
pone the hearing, explaining that he was
needed IN the Senate i'll connection with
the Italian debt settlement bill. On be-
ing outvoted in the committee, he carried
his contention to the floor of the Senate,
where \ lively discussion held forth for
about an hour.
Numerous interesting and enlightcning
admissions have been made by the wet
Senators. For instance Senator Bruce of
Maryland was led to admit that the beer
and wine proposal was the first step to-
ward restoration OF the liquor traffic, ex-
planning that 'the first step must be TAX
en-" Senator Edge admitted on the floor
OF the Senate that he could not conceive
OF a notwithstanding wine. This cancels
his statement to the committee that to
legalize light wines and beers to consti-
tutional limits would greatly decrease the
bootleggers trade, for no Notwithstanding
beverage would meet bootleg competition.
Only strict enforcement would do that.
Government Control in Canada Failure
Among the vets numerous proposals is
government control, following the So
caXed Canadian plan. Witnesses from
Canada we're heard in support of this
method They told of decrease in drunk
cnness and crime und s.: the government
control system as compared with the days
of prohibition, the inference being that
liquor sold by the government instead of
a private individual loses its power to in
toxicate or incite crime. These witnesses
testimony was refuted by William Z.
Raney, former attorney general of To-
ronto, who emphatically declared that the
sale of so-called Notwithstanding beer
had not been successful.
Bootlegging Thrives, Says Raney
Mr.. Raney declared that the permits for
the sale of this so-called temperance beer
are useful to the holder as disguise to
sell something stronger. He said that
Bookkeeping goes on al both the wet and

himself only repudiated the testimony of
some labor leaders who have appeared in
behalf of notification of the Eighteenth
Amendment. He declared that during the
past few years it has been almost mpos-
sible to have a labor leader who valued
his job to come out in favor OF prohibi-
ton enforcement, no matter what his per-
sonal convictions might be. 'Prohibtion
has been made a political question within
the ranks OF labor" he said. adding that
as a result 1T has been impossible to Sc
cure fair voice in any labor convention

DR.. Doran Refutes Buckner
Dr. ]. NJ. Doran, chief chemist in the
prohibition unit, refuted the statement Of
District Attorney Buckner of New York
that approximately 100000 gallons of in
dustrial alcohol found its way into illegal
channels last year Asserting that only
87500000 gallons in all were released in
1925, DR.. Doran estimated that not more
than $4,000, 900 or 100000 gallons
reached the bootleg trade.
Mayor Dever of Chicago Says He
Closed Breweries
On Thursday April p, Mayor Dever Of
Chicago appeared at his own request to
refute what he regarded as aspersions
cast upon the Chicago city police by Dis
trict Attorney Olsen in his testimony
given earlier in the week Mayor Deyer's
contention was that it was he who closed
the Chicago breweries after having failed
to get help from the federal officials that
later the district attorneys office pad
locked the breweries on evidence secured
by the police Be that as it may the fact
remains that the breweries of Chicago
were padlocked and that real enforce
ment Of the prohibition law began when
these law-defying suds factories were
closed. The mayor also hotly denied the
district attorneys statement that there
were stills known to the police in every
precinct in Chicago.
Reed Shows Temper
t. I. DinWiddie, superintendent of the
National Temperance Bureau, was an
other witness for the drys, and he and
Senator Reed engaged in verbal sparring
match which kept the crowd which
packed the committee room. interested.
The sensation of this days hearing was
Senator Reeds show of anger at being
classified as a wet. He explained that he
is not wet but is middle -the-road
man, taking neither side in the wet and
dry controversy. This statement brought
a laugh from the crowd which greatly
incensed the Senator, who classified those
who laughed at him as fanatics and fools.
At this writing there are still number
of witnesses to be heard. Arguments and
summary of evidence will then be made.
The report will be completed III our
