THE DAILY CAPITAL JCTJKNAL la the only newspaper in Balem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulation! PNEUMATIC TIRES FOR TRUCKS. It will be good, news to more than sellers and buyers of automobile trucks to hear that pneumatic truck-tires are in use on various truck routes between the Middle West and East, and that a successful cross-country trial trip has been made from Boston to 'J? nsco. The heavily loaded auto truck may be a boon to trans portation but it is a pest to everything else. It runs through the city cutting up the asphalt, and it lumbers over the country roads leaving ruts ana Daa-going in ius train. Until recently there have been no pneumatic tires which successfully stood the test on trucks, and the ones now in use will require further improvement to make them thoroughly satisfactory, but their practicability has been proved. L . , Owing to the terrific jar in truck hauling, a sustained high speed is impossible with the solid tire. It results in damage to the tire itself, and to even the most carefully packed load, while the effect upon the driver's nerves is most intolerable. Hence, even with good roads, ten to twelve miles an hour has been the average speed. The use of the pneumatic tire permits such an increase in speed that the time from Boston, Mass., to Akron, O.a leading truck, has been reduced from two weeks to four and one-half days, while on the cross country run an average speed of 14 1-2 miles an hour was maintained. This means a revolution in, the auto truck business, an extension of possibilities which is of importance, whenever there is freight to be hauled. With this Gottschee wants to join the United States. It has formally asked admission to the union. . Never heard of Gottschee? Neither did the writer until he saw it in a news item and looked it up on the map. Gottschee turns out to be an orphan state left stranded by cruel fate as a result of the disintegration of the Aus-tro-Hungarian empire. It is so small and insignificant, measured by ordinary standards, that most of the encyclo pedias do not mention it. It is a town, with a little out lying'territory, lying in the mountain basin east of Trieste, in the southern part of German Austria. It was originally a German colony. It has long been under the rule of the Dukes of Augsberg. The most interesting thing about the whole business is Gottschee's reason for wanting to be adopted by the United States. It happens that of its 30,000 people, one- fourth have been in America, and it is said that nearly all the natives "know English and speak it with an Amer ican accent." IT-J...1 l-i.A-,-1 J.I. .

What Kansas taxpayers saved last year on their school books was enough to pay for the entire printing plant, building and grounds, and the state has never had better textbooks in quality or workmanship." SBSB8 RIPPLING RHYMES By Watt Mason FATHER TIME. When our lives are filled with pleasure, we observe that time is fleet, and we wish that he would measure shorter stndes, with laggard feet. We would have the glad days linger; have. the minutes seem like hoars; but ' time halts no foot or finger, toiling on through sun and showers- He is like some locoed sprinter hustling for a golden prize; spring and summer, fall and winter, each he brings, and each one dies. When our lives are bright and joyous, full of laughter and cf song, time seems anx ious to annoy us, by the way he hikes along. When veVft pain that naught can deaden, when we heave the bitter sob, then the steps of time are leaden, he is loafing on the job. Says the optimist, "The morrow will be gay, so help me John"; but we cross a sea of sorrow ere we see the smiling dawn. When we're crossing time's a lagged, he's begrudging every step ; he is tired and spent an! hag gard, and he has no sign of pep. When we are in jail for arson, or for sampling too much fizz, vainly does the vil lage parson say that time like lighting is. Time is going, like a turtle; time is going, like a hare; it depends, believe me, Myrtle, on our gladness or despair. away able. Thon I kept busy so that I should not think to8 much of his refusal to al low me to accompany him. Lorraine Morton called me up on the 'phone and asked me to tea in the af ternoon. Whon she found out I was alono she proposed that wo be ''real sports" and stay out to dinner. ' 'We'll go to the Vandervilt or the iWaldorf for dinuor, get tickets for some good show, and mako an ovening of it " I heartily agreed. I knew that, should I stay at home alone, I would be de pressed and blue. 8o we wero quite gay as we sat down to secluded table in the Delia Robia room of tho Vendor bilt. We had ordered, when to my sur prise I saw Mr. Frederick making his way toward us. I had no idea he was still iu New York, and told him so. ' Business matters detained ,me. And' he hesitated "if I won't in trude, and you are expecting no one else, won't you ladies take pity on a lonely mining man and dine with me ''Hut we have ordered," Lorraine snid. then kicked me under the tablo I knew that she meant for me to ac cept. "Make that order for three, and bring me a wine card. We'll have a bottle of very light wiuo Something that won't hurt you," he added noting tho refusal in my face. . . Evidently a hotel was moro nearly the stamping grouud of this westerner; for he was far more at easo than he had been at the hoiiso. He knew how to handle waiters, and to order, bo that wo had good service, if he did not quite know what to do- in a private house. 1 could see ho was making good impression on Lorraine (and xhe was very critical). In tho course of the eonversation he learned that we had ordered tickets for the theatre at the news stand. After asking our permission, he excused him self for a moment to tell them to make it three seats instead of two. ' 'Isn't ho finef " Lorraine said when he was out of hearing. "I like such rugged men. They arc like a good cool drink of water after tho inane society men one meets now-a-days.

''Are yon a bachelor!" I laughed and they both joined me at the frank ly put question.

Afterward Mr. Fred crick insisted we go to one of to Broadway places for a cabaret. I de murred at first, but he and Lorraino overruled -me We had a bite of supper, and we wntchod tho show, which was roally worth seeing. He did not dance, and we 3aw no one we knew. I did not care, but Lorraine was an indefatigable dancer, and tried her best to maxo Mr. Frederick get up on the floor. , ''I'll lend, then all you will havo to do is to follow me," she told him. "My dear young lady, I should prob ably step on your toes, tear your gown, and make both you and Mrs. Forbes ashamed of knowing bo clumsy a man. " It was after one, when they left mo at the door. Mr. Frederick took me in to the elevator, an dwhile waiting, said: ,"I want particularly to see you. May I call tomorrow some time!"

By Frafk J. Taylor. (United Presg Staff Correspondent.). Prague, Czocko-Slovakia, Feb. 5, (By Mail.) Bohemia is probably the most pro-ally country in the world today. At least you h&ve that impression when you arive in Prague, coming from Ber lin. The Czecho-.Slovaks have not been allowed to give vent to their feelings during the four years of the war, when they were dominated by Austria, and they are making up for it now. Prague te a mass of allied flags, stuck in every possible corner along the crooked strcetsand niches' of the quaint buildings. American and the new Czec-ho-Slovak republic flags predominate, though there are thousands of English, rrench and Italian flags. Tvncn the Austrian empire finally collapsed. thousands of flags suddenly were brought out from hiding, many of them printed on paper since enough cloth was impossible to find. Every store has two attraction, a pic ture of President Wilson, and with him President Masaryk, of the aew repub lic. To the Czech Slovaks they are the greatest men in history, and both arc uaiversaly admired almost to the point of worship. Organize Committees. The Czecho Slovaks have organized committees to look after foreigners. Some of the most influential people are serving voluntarily on these committees and there is nothing that they will not do to assist visitors from all allied countries. The spirit of the Czeeho-Slovaks ib at high ebb and. is contagious. Every one in the land, with the exception of ine ucrmans, is jubilant at the "free dom after 400 years" as the new-born independence is called. Tho people of the land have ag many privations as other inhabitants of the defeated cities, but joy at bei-ig liberated. German is a language taboooed among order your meal in German, and the waiters probably will not understand you at all. You may not be served un less you explain that you are an Ameri can and don't know Bohemian, and therefore must speak Gorman. Then they will talk German and understand it, and will bring you anything they caa get. The sume is true of the shops. Prague is a very old city with quaint and somewhat oriental passageways,the least modern of the large cities in the former central empires, due, acording to the Czecho-Slovaks, to the deliberate plan of the Austrisns to keep the city undeveloped. It is a city of nearly million population, including the inhabi tants of the suburbs. , W. VAUGHN TANNER RESIGNS the face, head, limbs or any part of the body, is instantly banished.
