How can I make my tires last longer? A. One of the most effective means is to reduce your driving speeds. As speed increases, the number of flexes per minute in the tire also increases. The more rapidly a tire flexes, the greater the build up of heat. As high- er temperatures are reached, "tread rub- ber softens and wears off faster. This makes-high speed during warm or hot weather especially hard on tread wear. If 30,000 miles is assumed normal tire mileage, at 35 miles per hour, the following decreases in tire mileage with increase in speed can be expec- ted: Speed % Decrease Relative in in tire tire M.P.H. Mileage Mileage 35 0 30,000 40 12% 26,400 45 22%' 24,400 50 33% 20,100 55 - 45% 16,500 Note there is a differential of 13,- 500 miles per hour. This is equivalent to as many miles as some persons drive in two years — in other words, there is a possibility of making your tires last two years longer by reduc- ing your speed, if you have been ac- customed to maintaining 55 miles per hour. Q. Are there any other ways I can increase my tire mileage? A. Yes, Don't make "Jack rabbit" starts. Don't make quick stops. 0 Take turns slowly. Don't overload your tires. Overload- ing your tires causes fast wear by increasing the load per square inch of contact area. It may also cause prem- ature failures due to blowouts due to excessive flexing. The relative effect of overloading' may be seen from thei following table. % Decrease in Relative % Overload Tire Mileage . Mileage Recommend- ed load — 30,000 10% 18% 24,600 20% .30% 21,000 30% 42% 17,400 40% 52% 14,400 50% 60% 12,000 You can readily see that you do not profit by overloading.

SUNBURN CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS Sunburn is among the dangerous Seasonal ailments according to indus- trial medicine authorities who state that jduring summer months it causes a greater loss of working time than any other ailment, Dr. Gordon Bates, General Director of the Health League of Canada waarns. This year the urg- ency for wartime production in Can- ada's industries and farms, medical men suggest that people should be on guard against excessive exposure, es- pecially on week-end outings and picnics. For those who are only moderately sunburned, medical men suggest use of a tannic acid jelly preparation or application of tannic acid solution in packs to burned parts. This can b4 used liberally and is an inexpensive remedy. Solutions should be used while still fresh or prepared with dis- tilled or sterile water. Physicians warn against the use of WM6, especially, in. badly burned eases, because its ease of i'nfec'tion the doctor must first remove the rose, a process which may be painful to the patient, GORRIE Mr. and Mrs, Jas.

"What Seek Ye in Life", Material things or Spiritual things? In our four score years and ten we have such a short time to pre- pare for our rewards which will be based on what we seek after here on earth. No matter what we attain here we cannot take it from the earth with us, but if we use our gains as God intended we should our rewards would be granted. "What Seek Ye" was put in verse form by a poet,. and whose works was choosen by the guest speak- er for her closing remarks, being en- titled "He liveth long, who liveth well."
