set of tires.
"In all of these examples, it is
assumed that the tires are proper
ly inflated. If they are not, the
cost in useless waste of rubber
will be much higher. Underintia-
ton will result in uneven wear and
possible destruction of the side
walls while treads are sstill good.
Overinfiation makes the car ride
hard and causes the center of the
tread to wear out quickly.
To-day it's not only patriotic but
plain common sense to give reason

Tommy, aged FIVE, turned tn
wheel of his new engine, but hi
ears were alert for anything hi
parents in the next room might say
A miserable, paralyzing feeling haC
taken hold of the child since yes.
terday, when his father had come
home in the middle of the day, look.
ing very sad and detected. Mother
had cried and later explained thai
Daddy had lost his job, and they
had no money-that they must
have money or they couldn't buy
| food.
Tommy hadn't answered-hadn'
thought of anything to say. II
wasn't so much what his mother
had said as the way she'd said it
as if something very dreadful had
happened Vaguely he sensed that
what we know as security had been
taken from his world.
He looked at his little engine, a
birthday treasure, and frightened.
He waited until his father went out
to work in the garden. Then he
ran out after him. Daddy" he
called excitedly, "here's my engine.
Take it back to the store man, and
hell give you some money"
Daddy stood up, suddenly real
izing for the first time something
of what the child was suffering.
"No, Tommy" the man drew the
boy close, you keep your engine.
We've still little money. Perhaps
I'll have another job before it's
gone"
81 can bring up wood, and cut
kindling with my little axe, and
sweep the steps, because Mother
can't have the woman to help her
any moreI" The child's eyes glist-
ened. The terrible feeling was
dropping away.
"Of course you can, Tommy. l
was going to take you and your
friend. Bill, to the pictures this
afternoon, as l promised. Now
we can't spend money that way, |
but I'll take you both for a hike,
and we'll see. some pictures of a |
different kind. Run and get Bill
now"
"All right, Dad!" Tommy was
off without delay.
Soon man and boys were walk
ing through the autumn woods.
There was much to see and talk
about. They met a merry brown
squirrel, and later found his win
Ler's supply of nuts, gathered into
a hollow stump. 1t was interest
ing to think of squirrels working
for a living.
A caterpillar in a crack was
spinning a blanket to keep himself
warm for the winter, Falling leaves
would protect roots. Noisy frogs
mad dug themselves in for protec-
ion against the coming cold wea-
her. A jay was making a meal off
'owan berries.
A thistle seed was travelling hap
PLY without bus tickets. Some
)urrs secured a free ride on Tom
ny's trousers. Men and boys could
ravel free, too, using their own
egs! Tommy dashed ahead to test
tut his own pair of sturdy ones.
What a chattering those birds :
made, getting ready to go south!
they needed no railway fare either. $
loney wasn't such an important ,,
hing after all.
On reaching home, Tommy told

ound another job and all went !

The experience developed in the U
hild a new feeling of importance, :.

won for you. The swift parts with
this member with utter unconcern.
Freedom is the dearly priced OBJ
jective, and the lizard no doubt has
had this experience in some form
before. A new tail will eventually
grow in the place of the lost one.
No pain is experienced when the
separation takes place. A wriggle
and twist and you have the jerk
ing member, and the lizard has
freedom.
Captive swifts take some time tc
become convinced that you mean
well. They finally are assured that
food and kindness await them at
your hands. They live to be sew
eral years told. All you have to
provide for them are soft-bodied
insects and mealworms for food,
and they must have an abundance
of sunlight and warmth.
The eggs of this lizard are about
three -eighths of an inch to one
half inch long, size depending on
the health and vigor of the female.
They are oval and covered with a
very thin papery shell that shows
the pressure of your fingers easily
The eggs are placed in moist pockets
of sand or moss, where the tempera-
ture is even and about 10 degrees.
They will hatch in six to eight
weeks. The infants are lively and
eager to get out of sight as soon as
their weak legs will hold them up,
as they master the art of moving
without hesitation when once the
journey is begun.

Associated Press Feature Service Writer.
If you really have a streak OF
Pollyanna in your makeup, you can
look at the new Federal tax bill
this way: The more you pay in
taxes, the less you will have left
to pay for living costs.
Does that sound like scrambled
economics? Well, the Way 1t works
out, if you don't have as much
money to spend, you don't buy as
much and therefore you keep down
the demand. Less demand, less
reason for higher prices.
That, friends, is the silver lining
in the greatest tax bill this country
ever has faced Here are a few more
crumbs:
Cigaret smokers. who already pay
612 cents tax to Uncle Sam on
every package they buy, will pay
no new tax.
Beer Escaped Raise.
Also, while the tax was raised
on wines and liquors, beer came
out unscathed.
The Federal tax on gasoline re-
mains the same. too.
And if you think you will have
it tough working on the night shift
in defense plant, paying out a
good chunk of your income for
taxes, you can be thankful you
aren't the big guy who runs the
outfit.

@. When will the drive" to sell
Defense savings bonds begin?
A There will be no drive" Many
people think of the Defense savings
program as like the Liberty Loan
campaigns of the first World War,
which were conducted for stated
periods to raise specific quotas.
The Defense savings program is
long-range, continuing effort to
stimulate the public to buy more
and more Defense bonds and stamps
month by month, and is essentially
a program to promote mass saving,
as well as to provide money for
defense.
@. What is the new tipping idea
spreading among statesmen?
A. Use of Defense savings stamps.
which are given to bellboys, taxi
drivers, porters and walters instead
of cash.
Note.-To buy Defense bonds and
stamps. go to the nearest post Office,
bank, or savings and loan associa-
ton; or write to the Treasurer of
the United States, Washington. D.
c. Also stamps are now on sale at
most retail stores.

Swifts are widely distributed liz
ards in the southern and central
latitudes of the United States from
the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean
and abound throughout Mexico and
Central America. They are rather
small, with spiny scales, which are
large, coarsely keeled and terminate
in sharp points in sort of bristling
fashion.
You have guessed it. They are so
named because of their speed. They
have a ground coloration of brown
and gray, most excellent Camou-
f1age when mingled with splashes
of darker colors, transverse bands
and blotcheS. There is surprising
diversity among individuals as to
their special pattern, at that. The
reptile may be temperamental
enough to change the pattern some
what. and its own natural activity
in getting around is another reason
for its ability to escape capture.
SWifts are really terrestrial liz

Political Comeback

/ LANSING, Mich, Sept. 29.-For-
mer Gov. Luren D. Dickinson plans
to attempt a political comeback in
1912 unless Republicans get behind
a candidate he approves.
He indicated that his candidacy,
if he decides to run, would be for
Governor, but cautiously left door
open for switch to some other
Office, possibly Lieutenant Governor
or United States Senator. He said
he was convinced he has gathered
record following with which to
enter the campaign"
He said he was content to screen
his own plans for the next six
months while other politicians
scrambled for position in the field

ards, residing among the rocks in
the deserts and subarid regions of
the Southwest. No use disputing
the fact, these creatures know how
to travel. They run on all fours
and have not been observed using
the hind legs only, as do some liz
ards when in a special hurry.
The Pacific swift varies from the
typical form in possessing more
bristling scales. and the V-shaped
blotches on the back are nearly
solid black and resemble dark tri-
angles. Its coloration and arrange
ment of pattern are practically the
only difference, for their habits are
about the same.
To catch one of these speedsters
the collector must study out the
method of approach and plan to
be one jump ahead. If you make
a swift grab and manage to catch
the creature by the tail that is all
you will have in your hand when
you glance down to gloat over what
your lightning-like movements have

GOOD DAIRY COW
PAYS ITS BOARD
High Producing Animals
Prove More Profitable.
BY ELMER J. MEADOWS

One dairy COW that produces 545
pounds of butterfat year will re-
turn as much money above feed
cost as two cows that produce $50
pounds, or more than Is cows that
average l52 pounds of butterfat an
nually. That's what experiments at
the Colorado State college indicate,
says Elmer ]. Meadows.
One 545-pound COW will return sos
above feed cost during a year, ac-
cording to figures Meadows has
compiled from actual experience.
This figure is based on butterfat SELL
ing at 70 cents 4 pound.
Two cows each producing $50
pounds Of butterfat 4 year viii re-
turn only 81 \ year more above the
feed cost than the 5-potz1d COW
and will cost $l68 to feed, compared
to $110, the feed cost OF the lArgo
producer. Thirteen 157-pound cows
will return $i6i 40 above feed cost
during a year. and it will cost $3.50
to feed them.
II the extra labor required to milk
and care for Is cows producing 151
pounds Of butterfat each compared
to 2 producing $50 pounds each, II
figured, it would further emphasize
the necessity Of keeping and breed
ing only cows with the ability to
produce large amounts OF milk and
butterfat
And SO the question evolves
why not take few cows that pro-
duce at least $50 pounds OF fat =
year rather than whole corralful Of
the 152-pound group that produces
only about 20 pounds less than tho
average dairy cow in the United
States?"
