INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Jan. 13.— An appeal to the women of the Amer- ican Legion Auxiliary to back the country schools was made tn a recent address here by Dr. Kate Waller Bar-| rett, national president of the Aux- iliary. Dr. Barrett has asked all auxiliary units to support the rural school, each unit to select one school and to fee that Ii} s are founded and that a lar; dictionary, a large en cyclopedia, a good map and a good globe are placed in this school. “With fifty auxiliary unit standing | behind a corrresponding number of country schools, this movement could become a great inspiration, within aj period of five years or so,” Dr. Bar- rett stated. —_—- WASHINGTON, D.

At the conclusion of a hearing this morning in justice court, Charles Ridge and Robert Joyce, alleged instigators ofa brawl which occurred early last Sunday morning at a rooming house on West Yellowstone avenue, were each fined $25 and costs. The case against L. D. Beckman, said to have been involved in the same controversy, was ‘dis- missed. A boulder, consiCerably larger than the one David used in his sling- shot the day he knocked Goliath off the Christmas tree, was brought into the court as evidence. It was supposed to have been hur-ed through a window at the board!ng house by one of the irate customers. It was also insinuated that one of the gentlemen involved in the fracas kicked down a beaverboard partition during the melee. The evidence was somewhat contradictory but a general summing up of the various statements of the participants seemed to deduce that Tim Arnold, Tom Arnold and Jim Daily, three good men and true, started from downtown, slightiy afier midnight last Saturday, for the particular rooming house in question.

It is actually possible for a given lot of a few tires to run far- ther than the average and still be Poorer tires than others. It is not the point that the use of average tire mileages is wrong, but rather that the average mieage test with no knowledge of actual running con- ditions may be entirely misleading. Unless something is known of the facts behind tire averages, it is dif- ficult to make a reliable decision on Such tests. The fact is well known that under normal conditions, front tires will outrun rear tires, If a large proportion of the tires to be tested’ are applied on front wheels, is is very possible that they may equal an average mileage of previous Ures used on rear wheels and sti.1 be poorer tires. It is necessary to know on what wheels the tires are run. Also to take into account the running con- ditions, overlooking. wheel alignment ani accidents Other influencing factors !n adcition to natural tire fatigue are inflation, peak ‘loads, cuts and repairs, etc The use of average tire mileages as an efficient basis for determining the make of tire to be used should be discouraged, say Miller tire ex- perts, unless the figures are care- fully analyzed and understood. In this way only is it possible to deter- mine relative tire service. Miscel- laneous averages without /qualif tion and analysis are dangerous fig- ures upon which to compare tire performances. No question in motoring is more interesting than the relationship be- tween rubber tires and gasoline con- sumption. When a tire under load the others were as lavish in their praise. Within five weeks Miss Morini had played four recitals in revolves, there are two forces offer- ing _resistance—rolling _resistance and the slip or give of the tire.
