Tires Today Get
Severe Road Test

Few motorists appreciate how
much punishment" the automobile
tire OF today is called upon to take.
says r. ID. Wilson Of the Denison
Service Station, local Firestone Ser
vice dealers.
When considering the service of
tires today it must be remembered
that changes have taken place that
greatly affect tread wear.
Congested traffic has necessitatel
stop streets. traffic lights and
other methods of traffic control.
High compression motors with rapid
acceleration enable the car driver TO
make quick starts. Powerful 4-wheel
brakes enable him TO make sudden
stops. In the country, improved roads
are responsible for higher speeds.
Speed, quick starts and sudden stops
all cause faster tread wear.
These changed conditions in car
operation throw n burden on tires
that manifests itself in forms OF
tread wear unknown in the past.
During periods Of rain. snow or
ice. uncertain traction changes the
driving habits of many car owners.
They reduce their speed, start slowly

explains why, in northern latitudcs.
tire wear Il more rapid in summer
than in winter.
The manufacturer can control.
with scientific accuracy. the COM
pounding. curing and construction Of
tires but he cannot control the con-
ditions under which these tires are
used.

4 CASE OF FIGHT

auAT'rr r 0oc. 31, (P)-Warn- 1ng of the North Pacific halibut in- dustry is forecast by the Fishing Vessels Owners Association if furth- CT recommendations of the II, ter national Fisheries Commission is adopted.
 The industry represents an in- vestment of $2,OO0.0oO and employs 3,50O men. Of the Commissions five Vecent recommendation fish srmen object to the suggestions for establishment of areas wile"e the total catch will be reduced by pre- determined percentage and require vessels to clear for stipulated wat CTS
 We have weathered many storms kut the one we. are encOuntering from the Commission is the great est and most dangerous the fleet has ever encountered and promises to tie up vessels and annihilate the industry. It is case of fight or die", said Capt Jacob H. Engdal, vice. president Of the Association.
 Engdal said as halibut is often 600 to 1900 miles from the port which a ship sails, clearance of yes gels in a specified area will result in waste of time if the ship is forced to return to clear for new bank.
 "It is true there has been a grad nal decline in the productivity of the halibut fisheries, especially those near the market, but in our opinion there is no such decline and no such state of a dangerous ev- haustion as the Commission finds, Engdal declared

The making of Christmas gifts is an
engrossing occupation, now that the
greatest of all holidays approaches. The
three weeks remaining in which to get
these gifts done are sure to be busy
ones, and such presents as can be COM
pleted at short notice will be a well
come addition to Christmas possibili-
ties.
If the cost is little, so much the bet
ter Therefore the ideas and direc-
tons for making the articles suggested
today are among the welcome ones
Pictures, varnish, paste or glue and
boxes are the necessary working mate
rials. A pair of scissors and a varnish
brush supply the entire equipment OF
tools.
with such an outfit, smart, ornamen-
tai match boxes that are vogue can
be made, and by the addition of trim
ket box. a dainty set can be complet-
ed in an hour or less according to the
way the latter is finished. "Boudoir
match boxes" is the name given to the
first named article. It is because OF
novelty that the boudoir sets have been
cleverly evolved. An ordinary cigar box
is the foundation for the trinket box.
It is especially good because OF the
hinged cover.
Silhouette pictures in black and white
and also gay colored illustrations or ad-
vertiSements can be used for the orr1a-
mental motifs. A complete picture can
be used, if it is of the right size to
paste on the top of box. Tiny sizes
are needed for the safety match boxes.
It is not essential to have anything but
splashes of brilliant color, however, for
1xy dnRnYa finf1
If silhouette sets are made, the pic
lures need not be identical, but they
must be in silhouette, with merely
black and white illustrations put to
use. If color work is used, the same
tones should prevail in modernistic
sets. AS these do not have to use any
design, the identical paper should be
used on both boxes. If pictorial effects
are used, the same general type should
be put together. For instance, hunt
ing scene for the large box would call
for a fox, hound, deer, etc., for the
match box. If pastoral scene orna-
mented the larger box, a wee pastoral
scene should be on the match box, etc.
Cut the picture the right size to fit
the top of the larger box and paste it
on the top of the cover. About the
box, on the outer side portions, paste
plain colored paper to accent any tone
chosen from ones in the picture. Line
the box with fancy wrapping paper, of
the thin variety now SO popular for
wrapping up Christmas gifts. If the
maker chooses she can fashion pad
of satin to fit the bottom of the box.
Before putting this in, however, var
nish the box inside and out. This pro-
tests the paper and further secures it
to the box.
The match boxes can be given as

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs, IT. H. w. writes: "I read your
daily chats and derive great benefit
from them. I noticed the one recently
on teaching a child to keep his hands
off. appreciate the investigating spirit
of a child and believe this is the way
they have Of learning. have tried to
arrange my things so that those within
the baby's reach cannot be harmed:
Dangerous or delicate things keep out
Of their way.
"I am careful about sharp scissors
and knives and got the three-year-
old a blunt scissors and every day she
spends an hour cutting out paper dolls.
MY living room furniture IS leather and
not velour and they can't hurt it, In
stinctively after about 18 months OF age
they want to see things clean and will
want to help polish the furniture and
pick up. (Not instinctively Mrs. T. H.
w. but because they initiate you.) BY
letting them I do not have to say no

over my French doors to prevent break

submission. I rarely use corporal pun
ishment and it is only when have told
them to expect whipping if they dis
obey that they get it and then tell
them they have chosen this punish
ment. I never whip them cruelty.
1T isn't hard to give a child rea-
sonable answer and most of them have
more sense than grown-upS. have
never spent a lot of time training my
children to be clean but always changed
them the minute they were soiled and
damp and I found that one of the first
things they say Is to make some sign
that they are uncomfortable and want
changing"
Answer-You are quite right about
grown-upS Understanding a child's
intelligence. They tell every one within
hearing of all the smart things the
children say or do, and yet in dealing
with them they treat them as if they
were quite without sense or reasoning
power. Despite the reasons you gave
me, think that the spanking is use
less. Why wouldn't the child under
those circumstances choose to do as he
pleased and take the spanking? That
isn't good training, do you think? He
should choose to do the right thing be-
cause III the emu QOulB TlBuC furnishes
him more satisfaction than to do what
is wrong. He would soon get to feel
that mild spanking was small price
to pay for freedom to do as he pleased.
Also We can't always put all our
treasures out of reach. Dangerous
things, Of course, but books, ash trays,
lamps and so on as we'll as ice boxes
and gas stoves can't be put up where
a child can't get them, so we have to
teach them how to live with them with
out danger to themselves. That is why
training is necessary.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday. December 4.

uncertain and inauspicious for impor-
fiuences will prevail tomorrow, accord
ing to astrology, which finds the day
uncertain and inauspicious for impor-
tant matters.
In the early hours it is well to attend
to routine matters, especially avoiding
any speculative venture.
It is not lucky day for seeking
financial support or even expert ad-
vice. Judgment should not be trusted
where investments are concerned.
There is fair promise for initiative
that has been previously planned. The
middle Of the day is auspicious for
artistic ventures.
There is a reasonably promising sign
for dealings with women, who are to
succeed wonderfully in big business
within decade.
Happiness should attend brides who
plight troth tomorrow, for the stars are
read as friendly to them and promising
long partnership.
Theaters should benefit, for there Is
indication of success for new plays, as
we'll as little known players.
All the seerS appear to believe that
the study Of occultism will be made
seriously.
Earth, air and water having been
subiugated to the uses of man, the next
step will be conquest of the unseen
world, begun in telegraphy and de-
veloped through radio.
AS December advances, unusual and
severe storms may be expected, as
trologers warn, and there will be serious
earthquakes.
A mining disaster has been prognos-
ticated, and it is wise for workers to be
unusually cautious.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the augury of a disturbing year in
which they should postpone important
decisions, especially those regarding
change of residence. Women may be
too much interested in dress and
society.
Children born on that day probably
will have to overcome many obstacles
in the course of their march toward
success. These subjects of Sagittarius
are generally meticulous in details and
exceedingly conscientious. They win
through concentration on their own
affairs to the exclusion Of outside in
terests.
