Two casings, one of which had rol
led up a mileage of 31.000 and the
other 20.000 miles, were recently re
moved irom the driving wheels of a
Cadillac sedan owned by A. G. Zeller,
president of the Michigan state au
tomobile school, Detroit.
"These casings were in such rood
'condition that I had them relreaded
and am using them now for spares,"
said Mr. Zeller, wno attributed their
! long life as much to careful driving
as to tire quality.
"Carelese application of brakes and
too great an eagerness to accelerate
j from nothing to 80 miles an hour in
I a few seconds contribute greatly to
tire strain and excessive wear of
tires. Improper inflation la. another
thing that quickly ruins even the
best of casings. j
"Own a pressure guage and nse It.
Tcke the trouble to remove tires and
tubes for inspection now and then:
eep the rims clean: watch the tube
protecting flap Jo make sure It is
I properly in position and not wrink
led. Look the casings over tor signs
of damage and make little repairs
where necessary.
"These things are as important for
tires as oil ia for the engine. Unfor
tunately many motorists are unfam
iliar with tire construction and tire
care.
"Used tires are not always worth
retreading, however. Some tire re
pair shops will retread a casing just
to get the Job regardless of the con
dition of the fabric. If the carcass is
in good condition it certainly pays to
retread it. One of my casings which
blew out recently at 32,000 miles,
had been retreaded twice, in our own
tire department.
"The fact Is that tires never were
so good as they are today. When
one remembers that tins are nothing
but cloth and rubber and that Just a
few thicknesses of these materials I
may be holding up a 5000 pound car,
the automobile tire appears In the
llrfht of a Terr marvelous device."

So many deaths from carbon monox
ide, a gas present in the exhaust
from automobiles, have occurred
throughout the country during the
past few months that the Pittsburgh
station. United States Bureau of
Mines, has been prompted to call the
attention of the public to Its danger.
Seldom a day passes at this season
but the death of one or more persons
is recorded. Fatalities are particular
ly noticeable In the natural gaa belt
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Vir
ginia, while deaths from the exhaust
gas of automobilis are increasing.
Carbon monoxide is given off in
quantities by burning natural gas,
while It Is practically always present
In exceedingly dangerous quantities
in the exhaust from gasoline engines.
Thousands of houses in the natural
gas belt have no flues for carrying
off waste gases, which. In such cases,

ADAMS CASE SETTLED
The case of John Q. Adams
against the Southern Pacific
company was settled yesterday
before going to the Jury. After
the plaintiffs testimony was all
In, and several of the company's
witnesses had been heard, the '
company's attorney asked for a
recess and during the receas
proposed terms of a settlement '
which were accepted by the :
plaitiff and the case was dla- !
missed, Adams was suing for
damages In the sum of 12.300, !
claimed because of an alleged !
lack of medical attention while
ill. The company, he claimed,
took money from hia wages for
sick benefits, but when he was
in the company did not fulfill
Ita contract, making It necessary
for him to spend money to cover
his hospital and doctor's bills.
STATE (11 AM 111 :U MAN CUMING
Mr. A. S. Dudley, manager of the
Oregon State Chamber of Commerce,
with headquarters at Portland, will
arrive In the city Thursday noon
for a meeting with the directors of
the local chamber and all others In
terested tn the development of th
state. It may be that he will sir-:
rive In time to address the Rotarj
Club at their regular weekly lunch
eon. Tlace and time of the after
noon meeting will be announced in I

pass off Into the room where the
fire Is burning. If all windows and
doors are closed, as they may be In
cold weather when gaa Is being con
sumed, the effect sooner or later be
comes apparent on the occupants,
They become dull and sleepy and. If
not aroused, may pass into uncon-
consciousness and eventually die.
The bureau recommends that when
a gas heater without a flue Is used, a
window or door be partly open at all
times; half an Inch or so will answer.
The bureau has found that the air In
a room should be changed every
hour; that Is, the foul air should be
complotoly displaced by fresh air dur
ing that period. But If there is a
continuous fresh Inflow, this will
counteract the poisonous gas unless
the individual is so close to the
source of the waste gas as to breathe
It before It Is sufficiently diluted
with fresh air. The bureau sounds a
warning never to go to bed with a
heater burning and the windows and
doors closed; to do so would be
"flirting with doath."
The danger from waste automobile
gasee is no less real. It tbo engine
has to be kept running In the gar
age, the garage must be ventilated.
Drivers are warned ever to crawl un
der a car when the engine is running,
no matter how good the ventilation.
Sitting In an automobile In a garage
with the engine in motion, ia distinct
ly a dangerous thing to do.
Another har.ard of exhaust ga Is
that of sitting In a tightly closed au
tomobile on a highway, or elsewhere
with the engine going. The car msy
bo fitted with a lealcy heater, through
which the exhaust gets into and con
centrates In the car, or tho exhaust
from the muffler, In some manner
gets In and accumulates In Its con
finement. "If people must sit In an automo
bile," says the bureau, "they must
have some fresh air entering the
tonneau. Otherwise they are playing
with death."
