there is no tire made which will not
skid under certain conditions on
smooth, wet pavements.
Care must therefore he given in
driving cars which have even the ex-
treme width in the balloon tire. Fur
thermOre, there is considerable differ
ence between new tire of any given
width and the same tire after it has
been driven few thousand miles.
AS the tread wears off, due TO use, the
surface becomes increasingly smooth,
and the likelihood of skidding is there
fore increased accordingly. The driv-
er must watch this normal process
and understand that the same type of
driving when the tires are new will
not get the same results as when they
are few months older.
Probably the best device yet pro-
duced to enable the motorist to avoid
accidents through skidding is the nom
skid chain. 1t is somewhat of a nui-
sance to put chains on the rear wheels
of any automobile, especially since
the need for them is likely to come
while en- route and while it is either
raining or showing. Several cases are
known where motorists have been
driving along on dry pavements with
out chains in perfect safety, but when
a freezing rain began to fall the driv-
er figured to go on just a little far
ther before stopping to put on chains.
Such decision usually results in acct

Unique Church Used by Benedictines as Shrine

When one thinks of a famous church
one naturally thinks of one great in
age, great in architecture or great In
its historic associations. One finds
none of these characteristics in the
little church on the Kentucky side of
the Ohio river, and so, perhaps, one
can hardly refer to it in the same
manner one refers to Westminster,
Colgate, Notre Dame or Santa Sophia.
1t may not be famous church, but
it is at least unique, for it is the
smallest church in the world, capable
of accommodating but three or four
worshipers. says the Cincinnati En-
quirer. The small brick structure was
built In 1890 by some brothers OF the
Benedictine order, who used it as
shrine during the years they were
engaged there In the making of sac

AUTOMOBILE NOTES


AS a general thing, an automobile
hasn't any business being in a ditch.
Experts point out that alcohol has
several advantages over mineral oils
as a fuel.
Our own proverb for the day: A
rolling stone sometimes breaks the
windshield.
The only thing some drivers ever
learn about an automobile is that it
runs easier with the brake off.
Now that the search for careful
drivers is over, the careful drivers
can go right ahead driving carefully.
Picking out the most careless driv-
erS would be a difficult task, because
there are SO many Of them from which
to choose.
The human ear, which can put up
with any other noise, can't compete
with an able-bodied motorcycle start
ing up under an office window.
According to the National Associa-
tion of Motor Bus Operators, there
has been an increase of 200 per cent
in bus passengers carried in the last
seven years.
Hard driving means that dirt, wa
ter, grit and road splash penetrate in
to certain units and larger particles
become lodged between two sheet met
al or other parts in such a way as to
cause friction noises.
More than 1851 900 miles are COW
cred daily by motor vehicles on state
highways in Pennsylvania. Allowing
$4,000 miles as the average life of a
car, this means that nearly 247 cars
are worn out daily on the main roads
of Pennsylvania.

Skidding Time Here;
Get Out the Chains

This is the time of year when high
ways and pavements often seem TO be
creased, so that ii is extremely easy
for the mOtOrist TO slip readily into
oblivion or worse In other words. 1t
is the skidding season. These are the
months when the managers Of acci-
dent insurance companies get gray
hairs and pray for the motoring pub
lie to be careful. Now is a time for
operators of cars TO use their best
judgment, for skidding is serious
matter.
In recent years the balloon type of
tire has come into quite common use.
This has been in the main a factor
which has tended to lessen the num-
Der of accidents by skidding. The
greater width of the balloon tire gives
a greater space in contact with the
road, which is all to the good when
it comes to keeping the car under con-
troll. On the other hand, the very as
surance that drivers have come to
have in their balloon tires as to the
prevention of skidding has often led
them to take unwarranted risks. They
have developed the impression that
because the car has balloon tires it
would not be likely to skid under any
circumstances. AS a matter of fact,

Sleet and Snow Quick
to Deteriorate Tires

In winter tires are subjected to
more abuse than at any other time Of
the year, when they will wear down
faster and deteriorate more rapidly.
While the motorist can do little be-
yond driving carefully to check the
rapid wear during the season of snow
and sleet, by exercising a greater vigi-
lance he can keep the deteriorations
down to a minimum.
Small tread cuts in the tire should
receive more prompt attention in win
ter than at any other time Water
from snow and ice will seep through
minute holes in the rubber and wet
the fabric. This causes the fabric to
decay rapidly. Sleet and ice covered
roads will cut the tread and side walls
quickly.
One of the chief dangers outside the
cities comes from frozen, rutty roads.
On comparatively warm day the
crust of the earth will melt. Cars
passing will wear shallow ruts, and at
night, when the roadways freeze
again, rut is frozen hard for the
next tire that passes. These ruts will
weal away the side-wall rubber.

to the thrills of the game.
The play that gave me the greatest
thrill of my major league career oc-
Cured in Chicago the summer of 1924.
Walter Johnson was pitching against
us and grand old Walter had a three
run lead and was breezing along
easily.
The game was in the fifth inning
and we seemed hopelessly beaten.
Then johnson had one of his rare
wild streaks. His curve would not
behave, and he walked two men in
succession.
The next batter beat out a bunt,
and / came up with the bases filled.
1t was a tough pinch for any ball
player, and even tougher when you
realize that you are up against the
smartest old fox that ever put on
pitching glove. Walters curve still
was behaving badly. He got into a
hole on me, and / worked the count
to 'three and two"
Johnson was not throwing nearly
the number of fast balls that he did
ten years previously. If he had kept
up that pace his arm would have given
out long ago. He used curve balls and
his head.
But figured that in the pinch. when
his curves were failing him, that he
would try to slip a. fast one by me.

1t bit too close to the center of the
plate. l met it squarely, and when the
ball came down it was in the top row

four runs put US ahead and eventually
won the ball game for us.

g"Well, then, you said something

Jack dropped his pliers.

smiled at her, unless you want to

Roberta shook her head, but she
was puzzled. She did not like Jacks

"Well, then I'll just start the old
bus, and see you again. When?"
81 don't know" said Roberta Then,
suddenly, as she looked at him di-
rectly, Jack, why not come to the
house? 1t would make it lots easier
for me and we could see each other

be pleasant to father
"No," Jack answered, so promptly
that it was like an explosion of wrath.
Then he looked at Roberta and
smiled, showing his perfect teeth. 81

New Brunswick Legend

New Brunswick, largest of Canada's
maritime provinces, was first settled
by the French and its history is filled
with romance. New Brunswick was
part of Evangeline's land and in the
early days of strife sheltered Evan
geline's friends in its forests. From
the Indians of the province come in
teresting lengends of the country and
of their hero, Gluskap. Once upon a
time the beaver was huge beast and
threatened mans existence. Then came
Gluskap in his canoe. which was an
island, and hunted the wicked beaver
and shattered the dams which he had
built to flood the country. So they
made him chief of all the tribes.

Length of Sea Snakes

1t is believed that sea snakes do not
grow much longer than II or 13 feet.
Speaking of sea snakes found near the
coast of northwestern Australia, the
National Geographic society says:
"Sea snakes are frequently seen curled
up asleep on the surface of the water
These reptiles are poisonous and grow
to about IL feet in length" Sea snakes
are distinguished by the compressed.

Modern Traffic Is
Trial of Temper

No one who loses his temper
or becomes irritable in traffic
can justify his claim to being a
good driver.
There is little doubt that mod
ern traffic is peculiarly designed
to test the temper of every in
dividual in it. 1t is congested.
1t often is slower than seems
tOlerable. 1t is unstable in that
while certain forms of conduct
and action are specified for it
there are constant departures
from them. 1t requires mental
effort when one is not disposed
toward great mental effort.
Broadly, it would seem that
