Tyith an arm shattpred to pieces by a
.German' explosive bullet, has attract

' by bis patriotic Jcameijign in Wash
ington and other points of the United
Slates. ; "
' Rendered unfit for achve service
at the front and invalided home, with
a Canadian badge of honor on' his
breast, Peat immediately set about
. to write a -book, which he called
7 "Private Peat.". He got tie Bobbs
Mcrrill people at Indianapolis, to
publish it and thon started out on a
patriotic lecture, tour, which attract
ed so much attention that Dr. Gar--field,
Fuel Administrator, has seized
upon' him to argue fuel conservation

. Private Peat's War Pictures. .
. Peat, a wiry, little, black-eyed
r.'.un in khaki, with his useless arm
dangling by his side, is preaching the
'gospel of patriotic sacrifice. -When
fie talks of German outrages he has
seen, men fn the audience grit their
' teeth and 'women's eyes are filled
with tears.' However, lie relieves til?
grinr. pictures of war s suffering, bv
relating humorous incidents of the
struggle; as, for instance, the story
laycd: from a major lo a captain,
obieing him to. ."send up reinforce
nieittS at once," which, by the time it
hVdibeen transmitted down the front
Lino, trench, came out the other end,
"Tall, Captain Parkes , to send up
thileel-and-fnur-pence to the right, in
a;hurry." . . .u , .
. lief oro art audience in Washington
that 'included: high society loaders,
well known officials and prominent
diplomats, Private Peat told of how
the allied wounded, though down and,
disabled, are always found crawling .
witji their faces toward the enemy,';
He-said one soldier; so wounded, was!
thoughtfully , turned around by a
comrade, who left him with tho cau
tion!" "You're in the right direction,'
old chap, don't turn around." Pri-'
vato Peat Bays this is the message to '
America.'. ; ' i'
They say; "Private Peat," his book
is1 the best close-up picture of the
war; ' ' ' -

Every, owner who is particular
about hi car should examine his rims
and tires at least once each week,
according to The B. F. Goodrich. Rub
ber Company. ' iFew owners , realize
that a rim with its tire can creep
around the wheel if the shoulders on
the wheel which hold the demountable
rim are the least bit worn. This oc
curred recently and. was noticed only
because the valve stem came thru
the wheel hole at an acute angle. !
This was caused by the rim and tire ,
creeping , around, thus tending to pull
the valve stem out of its place. If
tho valve stem is held firmly by
means of a cap, then the strain falls
on the lower -portion of the stem and
the portion of the inner tube sur
rounding it. In the instance in ques
tion the pull was so great that the
valve stem was cut almost in two. i
Also in tightening the rim-lugs beJ
sure that you tighten in the correct j
order. . If they are tightened one af-:

is apt to be too muc space on one (
