A dead German wearing his uniform.

"Where is the German?" Hutch

Pierre reminded Hutch that from

Already they had started moving

speedy descent. The tide hasn't
turned more than half an hour ago.
That's why that passage was so full

this move will throw them off our

They had not walked far before
Henri uttered one of his cultural ami
mal-like sounds. "There!" he said,
pointing to shadow on the far bank.
"Rowboat." He threw off his tunic,
dived into the river, and with a few
powerful strokes was across. The
boat was chained, but one yank pull
ed the ring from the wall to which it
was attached. The fact that there
were no oars did not disturb Henri.
He padded the boat back to the 9th

LACK OF RUBBER
IS DISCOUNTED
BY TRIPLE A"

|
owners might have to curtail their
motoring, even their weekend trips,
in order to conserve rubber, were
strongly discounted in a statement
issued by the American Automobile
Association.
The material requirements of ma
tional defense production and the
problems of transportation may rem
der it necessary to apply priorities to
rubber, but there is nothing in the sit
uation to date that should cause mo-
torists to curtail their normal opera
tions, the A. A. A. said.
Contrary to common belief" said
Thos. P. Henry, of Detroit, Mich,
president of the national motoring
body, sit is not mileage alone that
meaures the life of tire, but the
manner in which that mileage is run
up. In fact, the observation of good
driving practices will increase the life
of a tire as much as three times.
What this means in terms of conser-
walton of rubber on the more than
100000 wheels rolling along the
streets and highways can be readily
understood" Mr.. Henry continued:
$50 without minimizing in any way
the impacts of the defense program
on rubber consumption and possible
priorities on rubber use, it is clear
that the motorist can contribute in
a vital way to conservation without
resorting to curtailment of driving
for some time to come. Travel is to-
day big factor in our national econ
omy and our way of life and should
not be unnecessarily discouraged.
"What the motorist can do to ex-
tend tire life was graphically point
ed out in tests conducted in an east
ern city, with the same make and
model of car carrying the same make
of tire. Five drivers wore out their
tires between $500 and 9,4OO miles.
Seven drivers ran out of rubber be-
tween 1880 miles and 1900. An
other seven increased tire mileage to
between $4,000 and $500. Another
group turned in mileages ranging
from 1900 to 1900 while the win
ming five drivers made their tires last
between 20,700 miles to $4,000 miles.
Thus you have difference of 10000
miles between the low and the high
in tire life with the same tire on the
same mode car. Apply this differ
ence to the 100000 tires produced
in 1889 and you will get an idea of
the opportunities the motorists have
for conservation.
SLOW can driver get the most out
of his tires, keep on motoring, and
conserve our vital raw materials at
the same time, The rules are very
simple. Always keep the proper a.
mount of air in the tires, since over
initiation and under-inflation both
shorten tire life. Make sure that the
wheels are always in proper align
ment. Shift the tires from time to
time to get an even distribution of
wear. Drive at moderate speeds and
particularly avoid sudden decelera-
ton. Take the curve easily and re-
member that every tire squeal means
waste. On long trips, particularly in
hot weather, stop from time to time
to let the tires co6i off, since heat en-
gendered by friction softens the tire
fabric"

 The date of the departure for Florida may be set for about March if the War Department approves General Payne's request. Between February IT and that date, the guardsmen would be at their
