Bolshevik Agitator
Executed in Bavaria
By Associated Press.
Munich, Bavaria, June 7.—Levine
Nissen, the Bolshevik agitator who
was one of the leaders of the Mu
nich Communist Soviet regime, was
executed at noon Thursday at
Stadelheim, outside the capital. He
was convicted and the Bavarian
cabinet refused to commute his sen
tence, maintaining that he was the
cause of the civil war in Bavaria and
deserved no mercy.
It seems probable that Levine Nis-
Ben, named above, is identical with
the Bolshevik leader Levien. who
has figured so prominently in the
press dispatches in connection with
the Munich Soviet regime.

Application Of Tires
TIRE TALK NO. 3
By GEORGE G. McFARLAND
local Firestone Dealer
The careful application of tires is
quite as necessary as the choice of
the correct type. Especially should
the best adaption of tire to rim be
made a subject of concern.
Before applying a tire all rust and
other foreign matter should be care
fully removed from the rim. If rust
has formed on the rim it will cause
tiouble at some later time, apart
from the corroding influence of the
rust. If tires have been driven 'de
fated at any time mud will probably
have accumulated on the rims, and
unless this is removed the tires can
not seat or fit properly. The danger
i of pinching inner tubes can best be
i i educed to a minimum by dusting
| s&apstone or powdered mica on the
1 rims, so that the tire beads will slip
i into the correct position easily,
i Inflated the inner tubes just enough
i to round them out before placing
: them inside the casing.. Do not use
I tubes of the wrong size, and be sure
I that the valves are equipped with
! spreaders adapted to the particular
type of casing used, clincher, quick
detachable clincher or straight side.
I Valves in Fir<jMone tubes are equip-
I'ped with a universal spreader, and
j therefore are suitable for use in all
three types. •
Dust the inside of the case and the
inner tube with powered mica or
talc. This will reduce friction and
1 prevent adhesion Qf the tube to the
' case after they have been heated in
service.
When the tires have been removed
for some reason, it is a good idea,
wnen reapplying, to reverse them.
Discover Secret of
Making Artificial
Mother-of-Pearl
London, June 7.- —The secret of
! another German key industry has
| been discovered, the manufacture of
! artificial mother-of-pearl. J. W. H.
j Dew, a Fellow of the Royal Society
; of Arts, found the process after much
| patient experimenting.
Dr. Dew was engaged during the
i whole period of war in reconstruct
i ing, step by step, the method of
j manufacture.
i Artificial mother-of-pea-l is used
j for making fancy buttons, dress
| trimmings and many other articles.
| Before the war most of it came from
| Germany.
that is, to place the worn sides of
the tires toward the car. It is not
very generally known, though it is
a fact, that almost all of the side
wear on a tire occurs on the outside;
that is, on the side away from the
car. The foregoing sounds, Irish, I
know, but it Is a fact nevertheless.
This is due to road construction, rut
wear, curb scraping, and such things.
The life of a tire may be prolonged
to such an extent that a great deal
higher mileage may be secured by
turning the tires about occasionally
to secure even wear upon both sides.
1 said that tire and rim should be
suited to-each other. If straight side
tires are to be used on clincher rims,
tiller beads ought to be fitted in the
rim clincher to keep the side walls
of the casings from being chafed and
gouged. To avoid as much as pos
sible the tendency of straight side
tubes to lift up from the rims at
the inner edges of cables and in tnis
way permit a rolling motion side
ways, it is advisable to have, more
spread between the cables than is
needed for beads of the clincher va
riety.
The best way, therefore, to use
straight side tires on ciincher rims
is not to use them at all. The two
types don't mix.
Concluding this subject, the im
portance of using flaps should not be
overlooked. Whether clincher or
straight side tires are employed, both
rings should be in position. A few
folks really don't know these last two
things; more people know them and
don't do them.

SENDING HOME
SOUVENIR GLOVES
Yanks Learn Many Points
About Them in Gre
noble Factories
Grenoble, France, June 7.—To
sending home souvenirs, as in othet
things, the army moves as a unit.
War trophies were the style ir.
souvenirs for awhile, but now shoul
der straps cut from the uniforms of
dead Germans are passe, and Boche
helmets are no longer the range.
Lace followed them 'as a fashion,
and now it's gloves. The dough
boys all over France and Germany
are sending back gloves by the thou
| sands of pairs.
This newest style in souvenirs un
doubtedly started up here in Gren
oble, the center of one of the great
est glove industries in the world. Its
200 glove factories, some of which
turn out the most expensive and
best-known gloves to be had in the
United States, have always before
| been closed to all visitors, except
■ those with special invitations. Then
| Grenoble was made a leave area for
I the A. E. F., and the Y. M. C. A.
■ asked and received permission for
i the American soldiers to visit the
1 factories one day a week.
The result is that the doughboys
I here on leave know more about
j gloves than do the women who will
: wear the ones they are sending
back home. Any of them can tell
I you that gauntlets are the very lat
est thing, that three buttons are
smarter than two this season, and
that the newest white gloves of all
are dyed on the inside to match the
gown. They have learned so much
about kid that they can almost tell
when they see one browsing on the
mountainside whether he would
make two pairs of gloves, or three
and of what quality. The American
soldiers know ail about gloves, in
fact, except the size they need for
their women folk.

Just after they were married in

BRITISH ACE
DIED UNKNOWN
His Record Was Not Checked
Up Until After
Armistice
By Associated Press.
London, June 7.—The late Major
E. W. Manock was ihe leading "ace"
of the British aviation corps but
it was not until mon'hs after the
j armistice that the fact was known
jaud he never will ire officially cred
| ited by the Air Ministry with being
i England's premier flyer. It was the
I policy of the Ministry during the war
| not to pioclaim individual exploits
| and it has not been changed since
fighting ceased.
The record of Mannock's eighteen
months' service is most unusual. He
started by outwitting examining phy
sicians in concealing the fact that
he was blind in one eye. At 29
years of age he was older than most
of the pilots in training but he
seemed to lack nothing required of
a successful air fighter and soon
qualified and went to France.
Immediately he adopted tactics
peculiar to himself and it finally was
a deviation from those tactics that
brought him down. He always flew
very high and enticed his adversary
into a high fight but, in bringing
down his seventy-third German, he
chased his falling foe too near the
ground and a bullet from an anti
aircraft gun ended his career.
Officers of the Royal Air Force
have acclaimed him the greatest air
tactician in the service. He had
none of the eccentricities prevalent
among successful French aviators
but he was scientific, persistent and
dogged. One of his brother officers
recently said that he had seen Man
nock stalk a Hun for an hour or
more, attempting to gradually draw
him higher and then, when the
slightest opportunity for advantage
presented itself, he was on the foe
like a cat.
Although Mannock was presented
with the Distinguished Service Order
and the Military Cross it was not
until the thousands of records of
pilots were checked in the Air Min
istry here that it was known that he
had more Germans to his credit
than any other British aviator. This
fact was allowed to become known
at the ministry but not officially.
