There la no doubt In my mind that people In general pay too little at tention to their tires. Tires, like the engine or any other part of a car, require a certain amount of attention if the owner expects to get the best results. There have been very many refinements in the construction of tires In the last few years, and the product that is built with quality as a basic principle of its manufacture is very dependable. Because this is so, the motorist frequently places so much confidence in his tire equip ment that he is apt to overlook, so far as his casings are concerned, the frequent Inspection and attention which he gives to the rest of his car. The problem is to get a man inter ested before the accident befalls. As a rule wo are disposed to wait until our machines or tires let out a howl before attending to them. After the bridge falls, so to speak, we appoint a committee to determine what the trouble must have been. After a score of unfortunates have been burned to death In some old build ings, we Institute an Inquiry as to why preventive measures were not taken earlier. The remedy lies in treating one's property right at the right time and in constant Inspection. A variety of points may come to our notice In this connection. In the first place, thi selection of tires is often to blame for subsequent difficulties. The correct adaption of tires, whether demountable or de tachable or both, to tire, whether straight-side or clincher, should also bo studied. Sometimes an Inner tube is partly ruined from deterioration before it ever geta out on the road. Lubrication, again, is often too fre quent, and Improperly done. Even the question of inflation is not so simple as It may at first seem. As for abuses, unnecessary exposure to the effect of oil and grease, an all too common overloading of machine or tire, the sudden setting of brakes, the disregarding of cuts and bruises, the thoughtless attempt to wear down the steel car tracks—these are only a few of the mistakes of which many of us are heedlessly guilty. Starting next week, then, with a short description of tire types, there will appear each week an article dealing with some one aspect of the proper care of tires. Remarks will be made on oversize tires, the pro per application of tires, and the dangers of misapplication. The care and usage of inner tubes and the importance and use of flaps will also be discussed. There will be articles on rims, tire fillers, wheel irregular ities, snag wear, and other topics which have to do with the every day troubles of the tire user. (To Bo Continued.)

Anyone who could do that, Erzberger told him, would earn the gratitude of the Father land. Completes Debate On Indian Appropriations Washington, May 24.

The rag-pickers' huts, truck gardens and piles of refuse that made the mili tary sone look like "Shantytown" and gave arrivals the first warning of approach to the city will have disappeared to give place to the park.
