Tire Economy. ,
There are five ways in which you
can save on tire bills: First, by buy-
ing good tires; .second, by keeping
tires well inflated; third, by using
your breaks with caution; 'fourth, by
not overloading your car; fifth, before
shedding your car at the end of a
run examine your tires and remove
tacks, pieces of wire, glass, etc., that
have lodged in the rubber tread, for
to -morrow they may work their way

I have found a very unprofitable
practice to buy anything. but the best
tires. There seems to be a misleading
idea to the effect that servicable tins
can be bought for much lees than the
price asked f or standard brands. I
have tried a few so -cal -led "bargain
tires at greatly reduced prices," but
if there is any bargain to them it
can only be classed as a bad bargain
—for the buyer. This class of tires
simply will not stand up and give
satisfactory service. '
Tire upkeep is the most expensive
part of car maintenance, and for this
reason it pays the driver to give his
tires the best attention at all times.

Only Winter Roads In Russia.
Russia is almost a roadless land. It
is inconceivable to the fereign visitor
who has over left the beaten track of
the railways in Il.fiesia, bow a great
empire can have subsisted so long and
so enecessfully without even a pre-
tence at roads, The secret Iles in the
fact that for five or eix months in the
year Nature herself provides roads
over the greater part of Russia—ad-
mirable, smooth, glassy roadways 04>01'
hard -worn 50014>. The traffic is fur-
ther cheapened over these roads by
the substitution of a sledge -runner for
the wheel and axle. This briugs the

other coincidence gives the theory
even greater weight. The eleventh
verse of the eleventh chapter of the
eleventh book of the Bible says:
"Wherefore the Lord said unto Solo-

comes in bandy. Extra tires ahould
be protected from light, hent, and

tire cover does not cost much, and
soon pays for itself in tire -flawing.
A tire -repair man once told me
that almost SO per cent. of all tire
trouble is due to under-inflation—
that is, by running the car on tires
that are too soft. A soft tire, by
having its side walls bent at a sharp
angle, will soon have its fabric
loosened from the rubber, with con-
sequent liability of an early rupture
from stone bruizes, etc.
I carry a small vulcanizer, which
uses .41 combined heat unit and patch,

satisfaction on tiny punctures, but I
have a small steam vulcanizer at
home with which I make meet of my

have little faith in blow-out patches
—after a tire has blown out its days
of usefulness are numbered.

HIS BANDSOX.

The bandbox for many years was an
important, even indispensable, article
of baggage, It appears and reappears

never became wholly extinct, but it
ceased to be conspicuous. No longer

ones are fetched frOM dusty attics and

shelves of the lady of fashion, A few

bandboxes are rather formidable as a
hobby because of the space they oc-

ling them so as to show them off. The
fad, so far as it has gone, is purely

usually regarded as entirely an attri-
