« Wear Proof Tread Tires GUARANTEED 10,000 MILES V 9 WEAR-PROOF TIRES arc of the famous ‘ Egypto” Rubber Construction-so tough and Wear Resisting as to be almost impregnable— thus practically wear proof. Heat— The Enemy of Tires 0 Don’t Be Misled * It has been conclusively proven that the heat in a tire is not caused by the friction of the road, but is gener ated by the incessant compression and expansion of the air within the tire as the car rolls over the road. This heat is retained by the rubber, because rubber is a non-radiating material. How different this is where WEARPROOF TREADS are used. The steel studs are constant heat radiating points, hardened steel being the best heat radiator known. Thus the steel studs are continually conducting the heat from within the tire. Equip your car with Wearproof Treads and you are virtually riding on air-cooled tires. Don’t confuse Wearproof Treads with the many infer ior and so-called "tire protectors” on the market, made of cheap chrome leather or some fibre substitute for rubber, that merely fit the tires to which they are ap plied until they become wet and water-soaked, making the "protector” loose and baggy, in which condition it will slip and creep on the tire, generating excessive heat and more often ruining your tires than protecting them. If you have used them, you know, and if you have not, just ask some one that has used some of those so-called "tire protectors” Tire can be seen at The Mail Office W. L. IN fHEIrt LAST LONG SLEEP Beautiful Spot in Which Have Been Laid American Soldiers Who Died in Liberty's Cause. On the wooded slope of a steep hill •hit rises high over a great beud in th River Seine lies a little plot of earth that is as much America as is the national cemetery at Arlington or the hallowed ground of Gettysburg. It Is a quiet and peaceful s|x>t. for al though Paris 1« near— the slender pin- nncle o f the Eiffel tower is I” plain slew over the trees— the city ft. «epn- rated from the American cemetery at Sumesries by the green expanse of the Bols de Boulogne. The heart of the city that Is the heart o f the world Is not five miles aw ay; yon would think it at least fifty. It Is a spot far removed from war. and yet there are enough o f the accoutrement« o f war about it to remind the visitor that the 700 graves here are the graves of sol diers— mostly o f so'dlers who died of their wounds on the journey In from the front or at one o f the hospitals in or ne; r the capital. Further up the elope frown the ramparts o f the fort o ' Mount Vnlerien. one in the chain o f defenses that surround Paris. Dur ing hostilities planes flew from field to field, the drone o f their motors never eo clear as in this quiet countryside. Aral more warlike still, an occasional cannon shot echoed from a testing ground in the neighborhood. The lit tle- cemetery Itself, with its well- aligned rows o f white wooden crosses, will some day he as green and fair a Ood’a acre as hiij - In France.

W AR DEMAND FO R P L A T IN U M Is Essential in Production of Sulphuric Ac d, Indispensable in Manufac ture of Explosives. T w o universtilly known products— • t «■ .i rare metal, the other n common acid— have lately assumed lnn«ortnn«*e that is mystifying to the Inity. Plati num has beeome virtually the king of metals, mid sulphuric acid the king of cl«« ini« ills. The reasons for thi* nre most simple. Platinum Is obtained eh.el'.y from the l.'ral mountains. Ow ing to 1 1,cutir conditions In lin n 'a little o f It Is being mined. It Is absolutely caw mini in the niiinufa« lure of sul phuric acid. Without a small amount o f it being present, oxygen, water and sulphur dioxide will not unite cliem- o7l4cKenney~, cAgent OREGON SALEM, Ict.TTy. -i'pTTuFic m hi. on life other hand, was probably the most indis pensable product us« «1 in the prosecu tion o f the war. Its tremendous attln- Ity tor water made it vitally important In the manufacture of high explosives. For Instance, one ohtuins a fuirl.v harmless liquid by mixing glycerin anil nitric acid. If sulf^iuric acid Is ad<led. It combines the two chemically by taking an atom o f hydrogen and one o f oxygen from the nitric acid, an atom o f hydrogen from the glycerin, forming water, and taking It unto It self. One then has nitroglycerin. In a similar manner sulphuric ad d Is need ed for the manufacture o f guncotton and T XT. Thus we had the pecu liar cycle of drcumstances that made It unpatriotic for an Amerh-an to have In his possession more than an ounce of platinum In the form o f jewelry. Incidentally, however, there is said to be good reason for the l»elief that a very large proportion o f the so-called platinum In modern Jewelry Is com posed wholly or at least In part of cheaper metals.— Popular M«-fhr.nlcs Magazine.

Without further parley the general dispatched members o f his bodyguard to hold the train. One man clambered into the locom otive and covered the englneman with a revolver. Others mounted guard on the car platforms.
