"' "Ignorance and often neglect, serves to shorten the life of the wheel cush-Ions,.- declares F. AV. ; Vogler. North west distributor for the Beo, Apperaon, Premier And Silent' Knight-Steams. He Inclines . to the .opinion that the tire nakers are made the subjects of a great amount of unjust criticism, and declares that If motorists would spend as much time studying the proper uss of tires as they do in howling at the manufac turer, they would est better results. " "Many motorists seem to think that the tire companies would rather see Urea wear out quickly, so that there will be resales, said Mr. Vogler, in discussing the tire question the other day, "On the contrary. It the tires give long- service him radm-inff the exDense Of motoring, the tire companies figure that there will be many more automobiles running and thus their business- will increase. , -.' ' Suggestions leads. Tn order to enable the automobile owners to obUin best results, the fol lowing suggestions for the reduction of tire expense bae been jnaae py ir. "Always use lartfe-slsed tires.' Buy- in small ones is poor economy A small tire cannot do the work of a large one. Never overload a tire. It's bound to give way and cost you-more in the end." 'v-y ... .... v "Always keen the tires well inflated. One of. the - first, requirements of the pneumatic tire is air cheapest thing about the car and the ear is made to do its worH on air and a given amount. This gives you speed, lighter draught, fewer punctures, and blowouts. A tire should always be inflated until it stands up perfectly round at the point of con tact with the ground when, the machine " Is loaded. This generally takes about tn times the cross section of the tire. For instance, a four-inch tire would re quire about 71 pounds pressure. "Repair cuts and holes in tires, 'A stitch in time saves nine' is a rule that - applies to tires more so than breeches. If you don't have them properly and promptly repaired, the dampness and dlr soon will work' their way inside and rot the fabric and then a blowout of course. . "Keep your tires away from oil.' Oil soon will soften the1 rubber can't help it and the tire can't possibly last long. Never let the oil escaping 'rom the car in a garage run and stand- about the tires. Nor let your car stand in oil pud- . dies on the street. A little more care of the axles Iff the matter of washers at the ends or in the use of a heavier srade of oil will save tire money. "See that your wheels are running true. . Wheels that run sq-g'd, or at an ancle from the car alignment, soon ruin the tires. There Is a constant "pulling on the sides of the tire walls and some thing has got to give way.t. Keep the steering' rod properly" adjusted. -"Keen heat away from , the tires much as possible. Even the hot sun Is very hard on tires. In garages keep the sun out as much as possible use heaw window shades. On leaving or stopping on the street, leave In the shade whenever possible. -v; r Turn comer Slowly, "Bring your car to a slow and easy stop. ; , .wnen you- inrow ; your ra hard and suddenly, even when going at moderate speed, you throw a heavy stralri on the tires that rouat Injure them more or less. .

Dlehl of the American Automobile association, who has com piled some interesting statistics on the suoject. air. uienrs , figures make it clear that few of the states can afford expense will be brought to an absolute ,,,. of wi improvement 7 A surprisingly large proportion of the minimum, declares the northwest wholesale dealer. He says that great Improvement in construction and mater ial used is belna- made In the tire depart ment, just as well as in the making of the motor car Itself, and that with pro per care, any standard tire vrill give good results; mv .... .'.-.-..'-.,: IE NDUSTRY SHOWS MAGNITUDE OF TRADE "An Idea of the marvelous growth of the motor car Industry and its allied Interests may be gathered from an es timate of the number of tires that have been manufactured in this country dur-1 stored, ing the past five years," says A. J; Win ters, local agent for the Pennsylvania Tire company. i "l figure," says Winters, "that since the beginning of 107 the tire makers of America have marketed in the neigh borhood of 8,000,000 pneumatic tires, the i yearly output being as follows: 1907, 900.000: 1J0I. 1,060,000; 190. 1.850,000; 110, 1,800.000; 1911. J,00,000; total, 8,- 000,000. "While 1111. as will be observed from these figures, proved the biggest year for tire makers in the history of the in dustry, there is no question but 1911 will beat It. In fact,, we are looking for members of congress, and others in pub no me, nave placed themselves on record in favor of federal aid. Amonar ine strong supporters or this Idea is Representative Oscar W. Underwood, leader of . the majority in the lower house. . Congressman Underwood .said recently: "There is no Question in mv mind about the attitude that the gov ernment should take on the ouaation of aiaing in ine Duiicung or interstate pub- no rvua, ! Tims win come. 'At this time. when the treasury is not in very good shape. It might be in advisable to press the matter, but the uuia la nut tar aiauni wnen tne gov ernment will take the advanced stand of giving federal aid to the building of important Interstate highways. Nor Is there any question of the constitutional right of ' the government to give such aid. When the government can afford to make the necessary appropriations. tne system or federal aid should be re A mora equitable tariff sys tem would put the treasury In better shape, and the public might then have the advantage of federal, aid." Congressman John A. Moon of Ten nessee, strongly indorses Representa tive underwood s view, Mr. Moon says 'Under certain conditions, I am abso lutely in favor of federal aid in the building of interstate public highways. 8uch highways add to the wealth of the nation, as well as to the prosperity and happiness of the cltlsens. Bxoenditures by the government for this purpose are real economy. There is no doubt that appropriations by congress would be constitutional. When the treasury Is In shape to bear the burden, the old system of federal aid should be restored a demand that will approximate 8,600,000 I under conditions which I will make plain tires. And wnen you get to calculating i wnen tne subject comes up. Improved tires in millions, as manufacturers must I public highways will certainly aid the do at the present .time., you gather an Idea of the sisabla proportions of the industry.

Duces, a wealthy chemical manufacturer, form the basis of a complaint filed in the supreme court by his wife, Rachael N. Duces, to have set ssiUe a separation agree ment executed in 1908 by which Mrs. Duces accepted $4000 a year for the support or herself and 82000 for their son Robert. Mrs. Duces says that her husband is worth $1,000,000, has an in come of $160,000 and that he sent to her one ot his hired attorneys to advise her to sign the agreement. . She was unfamiliar with the laws of this coun try and accordingly she alleges that the agreement is inequitable. From September, 1905. to November. 1906, Mrs. Ducas appears to have kept a diary, for she includes in her complaint me loijowmg alleged remarks; ' March x, io Threatened to brain her with an umbrella: told her he had enough of her and pointed to tho door. saying, "There Is where the mason left the opening.

For? the purpose of furthering a movement of forming a new county which will em brace all of Lewis county east of Sal kum, commercial clubs will be formed at Handle, Mineral, Rainier Valley end Rlffe. The reason given by those who have started the movement Is that thev are too- far removed from Chehalls, tile county . seat; that the road situation tends to keep the eastern section of the county back; and that section pays the larger part or tne taxes.
