EXAMINE TIRES
BEFORETAKING
LONG ROAD TRIP
Bruised Tires Should Be
Repaired Before Real
Trouble Comes Fol
lows Stone Bruise.
4
One of the most mysterious
thines that happen to pneumati
tires is tbe blowout that follows a
stone bruise, says the B. F. Good
rich Rubber company.
4jre may sometimes "blow up"
while standing still. Likewise it
may .give way while running over a
glassy smooth pavement fn either
case the owner curses the tire, its
maker and the man who sold it to
him.
. Very few people who rifle on
pneumatic tires understand their
qualities and limitations. Not one
person in a hundred takes 'into con
sideration the terrific strain put
upon tires when traveling at high
speeds over ordinary "roads. It is
hard to visulize the terrific impact
when a tire strikes a stone the size
of tin egg ' imbedded vin the road
while going at a speedNf 35 miles
an hour. ,
At the time such a blow is struck
possibly only half a dozen threads
in one or two of the powerful plies
of fabric are broken. These loose
threads at once become a source of
trouble. The breaking of one layer
ef fabric permits the threads to
Chafe each other, setting up an in
ternal friction that causes further
disintegration. The other plies soon
break down and the blowout comes,
usually at a time when circum
stances point to no apparent cause.
Tires should be inspected by a
good repair man periodically. A
bruised tire can be sucessfully re
paired by removing the damaged
fabric and rubber and revulcanizing.
Motorists, themselves, should oc
casionally examine the inside of the
casing to see if the fabric is rup
tured. This should always be done
before an extended trip.
Crook Classed With
Kaiser for Meanness
Bristol, Pa. Aug. 16. The only
rival of the recently humbled kaiser
was discovered here. He was a thief
who entered the home of George
Johnson, a blind merchant who con
du ts a small candy and notion store
and stole a bucketful of pennies, two
war saving stamps and two Liberty
two bonds. There was approxi-i
tnatelv $30 in pennies in the bucket.

Fulfills Agreement
Signed on Firing
Front in France
Lawrence, Mass., Aug. 16. Ful
filling his part of an agreement made
on the firing line in France, Lt. Jo
seph Mulhare, of the local police
department, dropped his duties at an
appointed hour and hurried to the
Bay State street railway transfer
station. There he met Motorman
George ("Gid") Grey ana grasped
him firmly by the hand.
Motorman Grey nodded to a sub
stitute to take his place on the car,
and Grey and Mulhare went away
together to carry out the remainder
of the agreement made when the
bullets were falling thick and fast
at St. Mihiel.
It was in September, 1918, when
Top Sergeant Joe Mulhare and Ser
geant Grey met in the height of bat
tle. Both were serving with Battery
C, 102nd regiment. They talked of
home while the dangers grew about
them, and said that if they ever
reached home they would meet and
have a "blow out." The agreement
was drawn this way:
"Sunday, September IS, 1918, On
the Firing tine. If alive, we will
meet in front of the transfer station
at Lawrence, Mass., in the good old
U. S. A., at 10:30 a. m. on the morn
ing of July 9, 1919. and celebrate.
(Signed) "JOE MULHARE,
"GEORGE GREY."
It was this agreement which
brought the two men together to en
joy the "eats" and talk of battles
past
Police Chief Tries Out
New 'Flivver' He's Sorry
Chicago, Aug. 16. Harry Auspitz,
chief of police of Jliver Forest, de
cided he would learn to run the new
police "flivver."
He stared out alone. Everything
went well until he was in Oak Park,
when the "flivver" decided it was
better running on the sidewalk than
in the street. Chief Auspitz went
with it. but when the machine start
ed for a tree he departed, "toot
sweet," and struck the ground just
as the car struck the tree.
He summoned a "regular flivver"
driver to bring in the car.
The New Distributors
We take pleasure in announcing that we have concluded arrangements for
handling the Auburn Automobile. We have been considering the Auburn for;
some time, and have thoroughly investigated it from every angle. Talking
with owners and. a trip to the factory, have convinced us that we have in the
Auburn a wonderful value.
Incomparably beautiful, the Auburn Beauty-SIX is the crowning achievement
of nineteen years' successful automobile engineering. The Beauty-SIX is veritably
a novelty at its best bold, radical and sweeping, yet not freakisn in design. It is
mechanically correct.
We Invite
You
to Ride in
the Auburn
Beauty Six.
In design, note how the straight line of the bonnet merges with
and is continued by the bevel-edge of the body rail.
Pride of possession is enhanced by great gower in engine per
formance of very notable smoothness and flexibility. The Beauty
SIX hugs the road at greatest speed rides at forty or fifty miles
per hour over the "flowing road' with a comfort and security
that enthuses.
Full comparison by extraordinary first and lasting impression u
challenged with any car, regardless of price.

VILLA GUNNING
USED TO THWART
HIS PURSUERS
Method Almost Identical With
That Used by Covey of
Quail to Escape the '
Hunter.
Juarez, Aug. 16 Francisco Villa's
method of evading pursuit by Mex
ican government troops is almost
identical with that used by a covey
of quail to escape the hunter. Even
the detail of protecting coloring has
been applied by Villa for his men
always wearing brown cotton cloth
ing which .blends with the desert
landscape and dust clouds through
which they travel in campaign.
Hunters know that the quail in
stinct directs it to scatter when dan
ger approaches, seek cover in the
nearby landscape. Villa and his
rebel bands do the same thing when1
a superior federal column ap
proaches. Often Villa's band will number
2,000 men under his chiefs, Angeles,
Loper, Diaz and Garcia. They
make a column which coils across
the plains like a giant snake ' and
leaves a great dust cloud in its wake.
But let General Castro's govern
ment troops approach with artillery,
machine guns and cavalry mounted
on former American army horses
and the column will break up into
little bands of 100 under petty chiefs,
will disappear in some mountain
canyons and go into hiding until the
federals pass.
Once the danger of attack is
ended, the column reassembles,
occupies some town in its path
and again disappears with its loot.
Villa's men have been known to
hitch their horses to plows in the
fields of the irrigated districts and
be industriously plowing when the
federal scouts appeared. They have
learned various tricks of deception
during the years of evading the fed
erals and even drive a herd of
burros with them so they may trans
form themselves in to woodvenders
on occasion.-
Returns From War and
Rejoins the Goodrich
Local Sales Force
ptSlI Y
Mpbfhcott
Business Slow, Sheriff
Hangs Out 'To Let' Shingle
Meadville, Pa., Aug. 16. "For
rent: Cells and Corridors. Apply
to sheriff at county jail." That's
the sign that Sheriff Palmer hopes
to bring some businer to the local
lock-up. Since the county went dry
a few years ago arrests have been at
a minimum. But when the neigh
boring counties also went dry on
u v 1 the iail was without inmates
"Lucky to have him back at all."
is the way W. S. Rutherford, man
ager ot the Omaha branch of the B,
F. Goodrich Rubber Company, feels
about the return of O. G. Lippincott,
who has just rejoined the Goodrich
sales force.
Lieutenant Lippincott, as a member
of Company D of the 28th infantry
of the famous first division, is a
veteran of St. Mihiel and the Ar
gonne, being one of eight of the 26
original officers of this battalion
who survived the war. For taking
charge of a company which had
lost all its officers during one of the
Argonne engagements and leading it
successfully to its objective, Mr.
Lippincott carries a citation from
his brigade commander. -
In rejoining the Goodrich organi
zation, Mr. Lippincott assumes
charge of the pneumatic tire sales
west of Twentieth street in the city
of Omaha.
Tried Slugs in Automat;
Dines In the County Jail
Chicago, III., Aug. 16. "Every
thing from soup to nuts" must have
been the slogan of John Brekke
when he entered an automat res
taurant with a handful of slugs.
After he had dropped numerous
slugs into the food slots the man
ager called a policeman, Brekke
begged to be given another chance,
saying he did not have enough
money to buy breakfast. He was
served breakfast in the county jail.

American Girls Can Stop
Worrying After Looking
Over This Record of the
. Doughboys.
New York, Aug. 16. All those
girls who are fearful that French
and British maids are going to cap
ture (he future husbands of America
ca.t now quit worrying.
With practically all of the boys
home figures ahow that only about
one doughboy in every 4,000 who
went over brought back a bride.
Estimates have run considerably
higher with no definite way to check
up.
Miss Katherine Wakefield, a
welfare worker, who has played big
sister to all the Marcelles, Yvonnes,
Yvettes, Marys and Bridgets who
came through New York, declare!
that the total number to pass through
the port of New York will not bt
greatly in excess of 3,000. Count
ing those who have entered the
country through other ports, and the
few thtt are still to come, it is doubt
ful if the final figures will show that
more than 5,000 doughboys were
captured by he girls over there.
These Cops Adopt
Foot-Print System
Norristown, Pa., Aug. 16. Police
authorities here have discarded the
Bertillion fingerprint system for a
new footprint system which they
have adopted. A barefoot burglar
recent'.y entered several homes in
th j rtsidential section of this city
r . escaped with valuable booty.
The police hope to capture him wfth
the aid of muddy footprints found at
all of the homes entered.
Cops Give Away Botfie Boat.
Evansville, Ind., Aug. 16. Evans-
ville's police booze motor boat,
useless since July 1, has been given
to the Navy recruiting station here.
The motor boat, used for several
months to run down liquor-law
violators on the Ohio river, is now
the K-4 and is being used in re
cruiting at towns along the stream.

Body and Leather Cleaner
The varnish finish on cars oxidizes when exposed to air. It dulls and
dims while in the show rooms unless frequently cleaned and fed. Soap
(which is only grease dissolved in water by the aid of alkali) deadens the
finish and does not remove oxidization or grease scum. Ordinary polishes
leave coatings or waxes that destroy finish or require much labor to remove.
"Sno-Flake" Is Saf e !
The largest automobile factories in the world approve and recommend it.
It preserves and leaves a hard, dry, lasting finish that does not attract dust.
Washing is entirely unnecessary unless there is heavy mud, when l" Sno-
Flake" Polish is used.
