Conservation and preparedness are two watchwords which ex emplify the spirit of the times, and which should be' of special meaning to the tire user, accord to a Fisk Rubber Company offi cial. Curb rubbing, rut driving, and driving in the car tracks should be avoided as far as pos sible, thus preventing unneces sary . bru'ses and fabric cuts which shorten the life of the tire Proper inflation, and correct alignment of the front wheels, should also be carefully watched, for these factors have consider able effect on mileage. .Asa matter of preparedness, a small sundry kit should be in every automobile. If a driver is unlucky enough to suffer a second puncture, after having applied his spare tire, he will be in an unfortunate predicament without a kit. Quick repairs can be made with even a small kit. With a few patches, a blowout boot, ce ment, value inside, and a small amount of filler, practically any small repair can be made, and fabric or tread breaks filled so as to prevent t and c r pebbl as worki n g into the tire. These small de tails are of prime importance to day, when conservation must be practiced to the end that our ma terials and energies may be appli ed to the forwarding of war aims. Obituary.
