A fallacy hitherto believed by
motorists has been shattered with
the discovery that tires wear less in
the winter time than at any other
season, according to II. II. Hicks.
local manager of the Vaughan Auto
Supply, who SAYS. "If Won could run
your tires on snow the year round
they would almost never wear out.
Tests show that tires run on snow
or in cold damp weather with al
most no appreciable tread wear. Ac-
cording to Miller tire engineers,
tires give the greatest service with
the least proportionatc wear during
the months Of snow and wet cold
weather.
But now. exhaustive tests have
shown that winter driving is far

Storm Damage.

The telephone system in Maryland suf-
fered severe damage as result Of last
weeks storm. Restoring to service the
$500 telephones and 100 toll circuits and
replacing the 800 poles broken down as
result Of the storm will involve expendi-
lures Of more than 500, 900, according to
w. A. Condit. vice president Of the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
Of Baltimore City serving the State.
Immediately after the storm was re.
ported telephone officials began TO assem-
BILE men and material, aud soon about 225
linemen were on their way to the storm
stricken areas. Since last Saturday these
men have been working strenuously to re-
store the telephone service to normal Off
Gals Of the company state that practically
all service was restored temporarily by
Monday night april 500, AS soon as the
necessary poles. wire and other apparatus
can be secured permanent repairs will be
made.
The damage to the telephone system was
caused by heavy wet snow which settled
on the wires to such an extent that they soon
became overloaded. Telephone lines are
constructed to withstand a certain amount
Of strain and overload officials say. but
the excessive load Of wet snow and the
high winds accompanying the storm were
more than these lines could resist.
In many places the wires were covered
with wet snow to such an extent that they
weighed several pounds to the foot, which
means that one wire mile long under
such conditions would weigh about 1000
pounds. Multiply this 20 or 40 times &C.
cordine TO the number Of wires In use and

were broken.
The largest amount Of damage to the
telephone system in Maryland was in the
