MIA' sri:.ND TtMK IN
WKAIMNO OUT rims
Hero is a new joh that will at once
a louse the envy of the average mo
torist, although it has been created
for his ultimate benefit, Imagine
yourself a tire-tester, being paid to
do nothing but drive a big (inecar.
tour the country and wear out tires.
It doesn't sound quite reasonable un
til you consider that a tiro manufac
turer has no other real means of
learning what his tires will stand.
fOr he cannot acquire this knowledge
In the laboratory. Nor will tho rig
Id examination of each process of
manufacture insure the long mileaae
thai the tire buyer expects. To the
! tire user, the actual fundamentals of
a good tire tire strength and wearing
qualities and the only logical meth
od of determining these is through
actual experience in the service that
motor car drivers give their tiros in
hounding over roads, good and bad,
In all parts of the country.
While this method of testing tires
is not by any means new to the D. F.
Ooodrich Rubber Company, Its im
portance is reflected la tho recent ad
dition of live more units to the com
pany's original tire-testing fleet of
cars, which. for the past several
months, has been making its head
quarters at Chattanooga, Tenn.
The original fleet of fourteen cars
had made Akron its headquarters un
til early in February when the of
ficials decided to move it south. It
was only recently that orders were
received by this fleet to dispatch one
of its ciiis immediately to each of the
five new territories to form a lUCleUS
for the additional fleets which were
created. Largo numbers of new
cars had already OOOII purchased to
bring each unit up to its required
quota of five cars.

Coder conditions that were unfav
orable Paul Gee. Chalmers distribut
or at Orand Rapids, recently drove a
; Chalmers seven-passenger touring
cat tie;: miles in and around Grand
Hapids in twenty-four hours. The
.car was locked in against low and
intermediate speeds, giving the driv
er access only to high ami reverse
sears.
Gee's run was remarkable Three
newspapermen. American Automo
bile Association representatives,
l checked all the details. An official
stamp was placed on the seal bind
ing the gears and the gasoline tank
MOOS filled and sealed. The start as
made from the Chalmers service sta
tion in Grand Uapids. No set course
I was followed, the car plunging
through the heavy traffic up the
heavy grades of the city and through
the heavy going of the outskirts.
Paul Carlton, a Chalmers salesman,
i relieved Gee at the wheel and during
jthe major part of the afternoon and
evening four other persons were pas
isengerfi. At I p. m, the day of the race t
atop was made for gasoline au4
checked. All through a heavy down
pour of rain, so fierce at times that
I the driver could not see the road and
was forced to stop, the contest con
tinued. Gee and Carlton were wet
ly to their work and again at 8 a. m
more gasoline was taken. About
noon it was evident that a grea
Chalmets performance had beer
mode, and at 1 50 p. m. as the car
poked its nose into the garage, th
speedometer showed to the newspa
permen that the motor had traveled
603 miles. During that time the av
erage consumption of gasoline wa?
It.J miles to the gallon. This was
low-test gas.
From every standpoint the run
was remarkable. Tho conditions all
the way were far from ideal. In
criaa-crossing the city locked in high
gear, all sorts of impediments tt
speed were met with. And, the hea
vy going assisted materially in hold
ing down the average. Without the
rain and muddy streets and roads
the mark of 601! miles would easll
have been bettered.
This test, which is exclusive high
gear driving, is most severe on the
clutch and back axle parts of the
cat. It was a convincing test of
Chalmers endurance.

Members of school boards should
Understood that this is not a law
made by Miss Russell, but that it is a
law made by the Nebraska legisla
ture. The law provides that any
person or persons violating the pro
visions of the act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and will be fined up to
$100. The safe thing for each indi
vidual member of any given board is
to see that the provisions of the law
are met with. The mere fact that
someone was supposed to put up the
stittf ami Hag and forgets to, is no
excuse for any member of the hoard.
Staffs or poles at least twenty feet
high are required. Miss Russell sug
gests that a good method for con
struction is to use a gas pipe which
should be about three inches in di
ameter at the bottom. Two short
sections of iipe can be sot about
three inches apart in a concrete base
so that they project about four feet
above the ground. The lower end of
the pole can then be bolted in be
tween them. The pole should be
iltted with pulleys at the top and a
ptOCO of wire clothesline used for
hoisting the flag. If the pole is thus
constructed and need arises for re
pairing the jiulleys, the pole can be
lowered by removing the bolts at the
bottom. Miss Russell merely offers
this as s suggestion, as to the man
ner of constructing the poles, for the
consideration and guidance of the
school board in meeting the require
ments of the law.
It has been suggested that the
state superintendent of public in
struction. W. H. Clemmons. might b
satisfied with the hanging of paper
flags in the schoolhouso windows
during the v acation period, btit all
schools must be equipped with a flag
staff and flag by the opening of
school next fall.
The new law, known as House
Roll No. 7X0, reads as follows:
Section 1. Flags and flag staffs
shall be acquired, constructed, main
tained and used on the grounds of
public institutions of learning in the
following manner: Kach such insti
tution shall erect and maintain in a
suitable place upon its grounds a
flag stuff of any suitable material,
which shall not be less than twenty
feet high and painted white.
Section I, The flags to be acquir
ed for use upon said poles shall be
not less than six feet by eight feet in
size for urban schools and six feet by
four feet for rural schools. The col
ors shall be fast colors and the cloth
shall be of good substantial material.
The said flags shall be so arranged
upon the said poles as to be raised
and lowered with ease. The nation
al flag of the United Slates of Amer
ica of any convenient sixe shall be
conspicuously and continuously dis
played on the interior wall of every
school room, class room and chapel
in the public school buildings of the
atate of Nebraska A program pro
viding for a salute to the flag and
such other patriotic exercises as may
be deemed best adapted to the re
quirements of whatever grades in
such schools shall be carried out by
each teacher on Lincoln's birthday.

Day. Flag Day. and upon such other
special occasions as may be required
by law or rule of the school board.

institution of learning shall acquire
and maintain a flag staff and flag in
accordance with this act. A dona

pose, but if no donation ia made the
same shall be paid for out of the

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
EVERY MORNING
Hopes every man and woman here will adopt
this splendid health habit.
Says a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate in it washes poisons
from system, and makes one feel
clean, sweet and fresh.
"Why is man and woman, half
the time, feeling nervous, despon
dent, worried ; some days head
achy, dull and unstrung; some
days really incapacitated by ill
ness. If we all would practice the
drinking of phosphated hot water
before breakfast, what a gratify
ing change would take place. In
stead of thousands of half -sick,
anaemic-looking souls with pastjr,
muddy complexions we should see
crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
cheeked people everywhere. The
reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all
the waste it accumulates under
our present mode of living. For
every ounce of food and drink
taken into the system nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out, else it femients and
forms ptomaine-like poisons in
the bowels which are absorbed
into the blood.
Just as necessary as it is to
clean the ashes from the furnace
each day, before the fire will hum
bright and hot, so we must each
morning clear the inside organs
of the previous day's accumula
tion of indigestible va"ste and
body toxins. Men and women,
whether sick or well, are advised
to drink each morning, before
breakfast, a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it, as a harm
less means of washing out of
the stomach, liver, kitlncvs and
bowels the indigestible material,
waste, sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and puri
fying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Millions of people who httd
their turn at constipation, bilious
attacks, acid stomach, sick head
aches, rheumatism, lumbago,
nervOU! days and sleepless nights
have DSCOflM real rranks about
the morning-inside bath. A!
quarter pound of limestone phos
phate will not cost much at the
drug store, but is sufficient to
demonstrate to anyone its rleans
ing sweetening and freshening
effect upon the system,
