You immediately investigate a knock in your engine or the slightest
noise in your car mechanism anywhere. Because tires give no alarm
until they blow out or go pat, many motorists fail to give them even
a casual examination. It is a good plan to look them over carefully
every day. You forestall a big loss by having the first sign of trouble
attended to. You keep your tires efficient and by saving from waste,
you keep your money efficient.
SIXTH ARTICLE ,
Ineffective Repair
Attention should ba given to punc
tures, cuts, snngs and other injuries,
oven though they may appear to be
trivial, Small injuries of seeming un
importance often grow into serious con
sequences. It is advisable to have the
lepairs made by an experienced work
man. As a usual tiling, llio amateur
'ocs not reinforce tho injury, when
wooded, and is apt to vulcanize tho
rubber too leng this not only makes
ii hard and brittle but burns tho ma
terials around the ropair.
Pieces of fabric of different sizes
placed iusidj of the tire, regardless of
t'io weave of threads, will wrinfclo,
reparate nnd not afford any appreciable
t.:e3';th c reinforcement.
All fsbrlcs, for every stylo of repair
ihould be cut on a bias in the same
! lanner that the fabric is cut for the
cr'ginal construct ion of tireu. F.opn!rs
t!iut are hard and bulge aro generally
n result of cutting tho fabric straight
v.'ith the roll, u e.t lengthwise ana with
the warp.
Repair of Corfl Tires.
The same method of tearing down
and building up fabric cases can bo
idied in the repair of moBt cord tiros.
rjhe cord can bo obtained from tho
riaaufarturer just as tha regular fixb
rfl is obtaiaed and is applied in the

fabric cases. Ko special equipment is
necessary for the vulcanizing of cord
rases.
Care and Usage of Inner Tubes.
If the tire users understood the con
traction of inner tubeB, and things
vliich contribute to their wearing out,
it would be easy indeed, to secure more
nnd better service. Spare tubes should
not be carried in cardboard boxes as
furnished from tho dealers' shelves
there is danger of the tubes boing
chafed. Tube bags can be secured for
this purpose.
If the car is equipped with smaller
tires on tho front wheels than on tlii
roar wheola, an extra tubo should be
dorured for each size.
The cross sections of inner tubes are
jnndo a littlo smallor than tho normal
air space iuside of the cases. It ia not
advisable to use a 4,, inch tubo in a 4
inch case. This usually wrinkles and
creases the rubber with bad results.
Do not use ft 4 inch tubo in a 4Vi inch
case for any length of timo. When
thiB is done the rubber is required to
stretch too much and tho effect of heat
and action due to displacement of air
in the tire quickly usos up the life of
the tubo.
Imbrication ia most important to
conservation of the tube, but it is a
mntter that is given lenflt attention.
Practically all tire manufacturers treat
the Inside of. cases with a white solu
lion to prevent tubes from sticking to
the adhesive "friction" of the fabric
a good lubricant, however, should be
tisod.
Some customers neglect ilnstlnff soap
utone inside of the case when changing
a tube others uso the soapstone so
sparingly that it does but littlo, if any
pood, or they may uso so much that it
loon more harm than good. If a quan
tity of it bo dumped into the case it will
rollect at one point, and during the hot
wcuther will heat tip to such an ex
tent as to bum the rubber of the tube,
making it very thin, brittle and life
less. This can be recognized by tho
honey-combed appearance.
Snowing the honey-combed appearance of an
Inner tube which wee burned by eoupstontt
collecting at one place.
Soapstone is the lubricant most used
for tires and it ia quite satisfactory,
hut not lasting; therefore a fresh sup
ply should bo put into the tiros at least
two or three times during the season.
Powdered mica has proven a more dur
able lubricant than soapstone and quite
as effective as graphite, as well as more
pleasant to handle.
Pinching of an inner tube usually
occurs from oversight or carelessness in,
application of tire to rim.
Illustration showa how the tube way;
be caught underneath bead of case.
This may occur from putting too much
air iu tho tube before application or
from not using care to keep tube away
from rim until beads of case have been
properly engaged; in clinches of rim.
This may also occur from using a tubo
of wrong oizo. For example a 4',Sj inch
tube in a 4 inch case. If flap works
out of position when the tire id being
applied to rim, tube may be injured by
flap or beads of case. When a tire ia
ridden soft there is a tendency for tho
beads to lift up at the toea duo to the
internal pressure and weight of car and
sometimes permit tubo to w6rk under
bead. This is aggravated when the
tire has been constantly ridden Soft
and beads have boon cut and broken
by rim.
Don't crowd a tiro or wrong size on
a rim sTmply bocause you are able to
do so, by physical force. It is not econ
omy aside from tiie injury to Tne
beads, much annoyance can be expected
as the result of tubes being pinched.
Deterioration Storage.
Deterioration, contrary to the gen
eral impression, is not necessarily a re
sult of ago but is largely influenced by
the conditions under which tires aro
held in stock.
Tiros should not be kept In a warm
place for any great length of timo, as
light and heat will cause tho sulphur
to come to the surface and make tho
rubbor minutely porous. A dark, dry
room at a temperature of from 40 to
50 degrees is most favorable for re
tarding chemical action.
When tho car is laid tip for the
winter, or for other reasons is not used
for several weeks, tho stale air should
be removed from tho tires. Partially
inflate with fresh air enough to round
up the tires and cover them with muslin-
or other material to protect frost
the light. The weight of the car should
be supported by blocks or packs, so that
there will not kg ffly weight on the
tires,

In the first place it should be remem
bered that a large number of these
people arc helpless . refugees wholly
outside of the Turkish dominions. In
the Russian Caucasus alone there are
350,000 refugees who have fled from
Turkey to the protection of Russian soil.
They have nbw been more than two
years exiled from their homes in a
strange land and under a demoralized
government that caunot give them sup
port. A quarter of a million of this num
ber aro now in aire distress. Over 100,
000 of them are orphans whose parents
perished in the so-called deportations.
Large numbers of refugees are likewise
found on the Urumia Plain of western
Persia and throughout Mesopotamia as
far south as Bagdad and the site of old
Babylon. These refugees are now under
Russian and British flags and every
facility is granted to our committee to
sustain them until they can be restored
to their romcs on a self-supporting basis.
To care adequately for these refugees
alone would more than exhaust all the
Committee's available resources.
But the Committee is pleased to re
port that within the Turkish domin
ions its commissioners are able to ad
minister relief effectively without in
terference from many govornment and
is moreover able to guarantee that every
dollar given for relief goes for relief
without the diversion of one cent lor
any other purpose. The money remains
in the hands of reliable American ad
ministrators from the time it loaves
New York until it is transformed into
food or clothes which missionaries and
othor relief administrators personally
eive to the destitute. There are more
than one hundred missionaries, physi
cians, teachers, former consular agents

Empire today remaining heroically at
their posts for the sole purpose of ad
ministering relief and saving these peo
plo from starvation. We have at times
sorely tried their faith in American
Christianity by leaving them empty
handed in the faco of a most appalling
need with people dying of starvation
before their eyes. They willingly risk
their lives. A score of them have died
from contagious diseases contracted in
the service. Dare we withhold the funds
with which to make their ministry ef
fective 1
Identically the same machinery for
distribution which Ambassador Elkus
and Ambasasdor Morgenthau organized
with the same personnel of distributors,
is still operating effectively with the
full knowledge and approval of all gov
ernments concerned.
American consuls teachers and other
eyewitnesses recently returned to Am
erica bear authoritative witness to the
fact that relief is being effectively ad
ministered and that thousaads of lives
are today absolutely dependent upon its
continuance.
What is the Relation of this Work to
The American Bed Cross?
The closest and most helpful rela
tions possible have from the first been
sustained between the American Bed
Cross and the American Committee for
Armenian and Syrian Belief. The treas
urer of the Armenian and Syrian Belief
Lommuieo was cnairman of the com
mittee that brought about the organiza
tion of the Great Bed Cross War Coun
cil, The officers of the two organiza
tions are in constant consultation, hav
ing but one dominant aim the largest
possible relief for the sufferines of
maDiuia.
The American Committee for Armen
ian and Syrian Belief cooperated in
every possible way in the Bed Cross
campaign for $100,000,000 last May and
the War Council of the American Bed
in turn has given its endorsement to
the Armenian and Syrian Belief Com
mittee Dy appropriating B300.00U per
month for a period of six months to
the Armenian and Syrian Belief Com
mittee for relief work in Western Asia.
In doing this, however, they recoir-
nize that "substantial and important
as this appropriation is it is WHOLLY
INADEQUATE to meet the full need,
and that to provide for the entire num
ber of people dependent upon you for
aid would practically exhaust the en
tire fund of the American Bed Cross
which, of course, is contributed largely
lor tne reiier ana comfort or our own
soldiers and sailors and those of our al
lies. We understand that your Cojnmit
tee will continue to press its appeal for
funds with which to meet more nearly
tne tasK that is before you."
Tho American Committee for Armen
ian and Syrian Belief deeply appreciates
tne sympathy and co-operation of the
Bed Cross. It is to be remembered that
a large part of the Bed Cross funds
aro contributed primarily from patriot
ic motives by people who expect tifeir
contributions -to be used largely in the
interests of "our boys" and the sol
diers of our allies. Our Committee rec
ognizes that the major part of the Bed
Cross funds must be thus used, and
with deep appreciation of the substan
tial appropriations-being made by the
Bed Cross we appeal for further con
tributions from those who in addition
to their patriotic gifts to the Bod Cross
and other organizations are willing to
make additional sacrifices for those on
the verge of starvation in Western
Asia.
How Are The Apportionments Made?

A Cold Weather Warning.
ITH THE ONCOMING of cold weather a warning against the
danger of frozen radiators, pumps and water-Jackets again becomes
timely. The damage and attendant repair expense consequent
upon the freezing and bursting of these frail and costly parts.
while It ts well known, la too often not provided against in time and earelesx
motorists are put to much unnecessary outlay which a little, forethought
and precaution would entirely have avoided. Very severe early "cold
snaps" often come with the utmost suddenness and heedless car owners ara
often caught napping. As soon as freezing nights become the rule the
safest course is completely to drain the cooling system of water and to
fill it with an effective anti-freeze solution. Whenever the temperature
drops to the danger point it behooves every motorist to take thought of his
car and to consider whether it is adequately protected against damage,
r.nd in this connection "delays are dangerous." Everyone desires to ptit off
the adoption of a non-freezing solution on account of Us expense and bother
and one may "take a chance" and delay it until settled winter weather
prevails, if one's garage is well built and tight and if the car is used rather
frequently and its libod is well covered at night, especially while the water
is warm, with heavy blankets or whh one of the regular padded hood covers.
Drawing off the water whenever the Car is to be left in a freezing tempera
ture is a safe practice only if the system is completely drained, and Involves
an amount of labor which is seldom warranted, although It make? practlc
able the filling of the system with hot water when the car is to be taken
out and thus facilitates starting of the engine. . good sized Incandescent
lamp left burning under the hood will help until very cold cutside tempera
tures prevail, if the hood is kept heavily covered. Even though a car le
housed in a garage, provided with artificial heat, it sometimes happens that
the freezing danger is present through delay in starting the winter fires
and it is advisable that in all garages a reliable thermometer be hung
rather close to the car and, when its indications approach the danger rolnt
(which will usually be in the morning), anti-freeze solution should be
substituted for water in the cooling system, even though the radiator Is
kept covered.-

apportionment to the individual cities
should seem "altogether too large,",
"wide of the mark," "impossible."
In answer to this we can only say
that if absolutely every one of the 23,
000 cities, towns and villages of the
United States were to pay their appor
tionment in full the Committee would
have considerably less than ten cents
per day per capita with which to feed
clothe, shelter and protect the homeless,
helpless refugees and other defenseless
non combatants wno ere dependent up
on the Committee.
So the question, "Is the apportion
ment too large", resolves itself into
the question "Is ten cents per day
per capita too large an apportionment
for the support of the dependent peo
ple, many of them exiled from their
homes, in a land where the price of
foodstuffs is much higher than in the
United States T"
The National Committee can only
place upon the local committee in each
city, town and village the responsibil

way that seems to them right.

100,000 have joined Protestant denom
inations, as a result of the work or
American missionaries, and the re
mainder were the adherents of the
Apostolic Christian Church of Armen
ia. Today this shurch has 100 bishops
and archbishops, about 10,000 ecclesias
tics of lower rank and 3,909 parishes.
Following her conversion to Chris
tianity, Armenia was in a continual
death grapple with Zoroastrian Persia
and the ever surging hordes of bar
barians from the wilds of Asia.
Armenia was the highway upon which
crossed and reerossed the alien enemies
of civilisation the Moslem Arab,
Mongol, Tartar and Turk. The Ar
menians, isolated and separated from
the rest of civilization, represented the
West in the East and fought its first
battles. Finallp exhausted hj the
swelling tide of the pagan and Moslem
forces, they retreated westerly and in
10S0 set up the kingdom of Lesser Ar
menia, along the coast of the Mediter
ranean . Here thev became the active
allies of the crusaders. But with thf

Syria is the birthplace of two Mono
theistic religions Judaism and Chris
tianity, and is closely Telated to the
birth and development of a third,
Mohammedanism.
The country has five provinces:
Aleppo, one of whose cities is Antioch;
Damascus, whose capital by the same
name is reputed to be the oldest city
in the world; the Lebanon, famous for
its cedar trees; Beirut, whose capital
by the same name is the sea port of
Syria; and Jerusalem.
The Svrians are not Assvrians. The
latter term is sometimes abbreviated
into Syrians; but the Assyrians arc
Xestorians living in Mesopotamia,
Kurdistan and northwestern Persia
Thev are in no way related to the
modern Svrians on the eastern shore
of the Mediterranean Sea.-
Neither are the Svrians Arabs. The
confusion on this matter has arisen be
cause they speak Arabic, but their
adoption of the Arabic tongue is a com-
parativelv recent event m their his
tory, subsequent to the invasion of the
country by the Arabs in the seventh
century. Most of the Syrian Moslems
are of Arabian stock and number about
two millions. The Christians, number
ing more than one million, nave suf
fered most in the terrible events of the
past two years-
Who, then, are the Syrians! They
are a mixed Semitic race, the remnant
of the Phoenicians who were the first
to discover the laws of navigation and
who disseminated the alphabet. They
are the descendants of the Aramaeans
ther fell a rrev to the wrath

Egypt. King Leon VT. f ter eight j philosophy to the Orient, and whose
months' defense of Sis. his capital, laid j language Christ used as a mother

their origin to the Arabs, who in tlif
middle ages were the only bearers of
the torch of civilization; and others to
the European crusaders,many of whom
settled in the country after the eclipse
of their kingdom.
Aside from their religious contribu
tion to the civilization of the world,
tho Syrians have other things to th?ir
credit. More than one of them suc
ceeded in capturing the Roman crown
and installing himself in the imperial
chair of the Caesars. Two of the main
contributors to the Justinian Code of
Laws were professors at Beirut. Tho
founders of Neo-Platonism were from
Palestine. One of the tutors of Tiber
ius Caesar was a Syrian. The great
engineer who planned Trajan's palace
and the bridge over which he crossed
the Danube was from Damascus. A
Syrian, by discovering "Greek Fire,"
saved Constantinople to .the Christian
world- Jiusebius, the "father of ec
clesiastical history," was a Syrian,
and so was Justin the Martyr.
The Greeks.
The Greeks in Turkey arc confined
mostly to the shores of Asia Minor and
the. adjacent islands. They aro direct
descendants of the Greeks who held
sway in Constantinople until its cap
ture by the Mohammedans in 1453.
They number in Turkey about five
millions, speak Greek and profess
Orthodox .Christianity. The Greek
element is one of the most progressive
elements in Turkey and controls tho
finances of the empire. They have suf
fered the loss of all things through
deportation and are counted among the
needy om?9 of Turkey.
The Assyrians.
The Assyrian Christians inhabit a
portion of the territory known to
ancient history as Assyria, including
a part of Mesopotamia, Kurdistan and
northwestern Persia. They arc also
sometimes designated as Nestorians
Syriac is their mother tongue. Some
of them are under Turkish rule; others
under Persian rule. They number
about 140,000 persons. It was Nestor
ian or Assyrian missionaries who car
ried the gospel of Christ to Arabia,
India and China. The Occident is in
debted to this church for preserving
the divine message and transmitting it
to the modern world.
The Jews.
The historical status of the Jews
and their contributions to civiliza
tion are well known. A great many of
the inhabitants of Palestine in Syria
are Jewish and depend upon American
aid, for they have suffered quite as
severely during the present war as the
other peoples of Western Asia. In the
United States, there are several organ
izations formed bv Jews for the relief
of their race. Representatives of the
