Remember the last time you had a disgusting blowout and you had to get out and change the confounded tire all by yourself?’ How long did it take you? How many minutes—or hours!—of plain and fancy cussing? Look at Charles Paine, of Philadel- phia. Changing a tire is child's play! to him. He claims he's the world’s | champion tire changer. His record, prying off the old shoe and slipping on the new, is 13 seconds fiat. Seconds—not minutes! Thir-} teen seconds—fiat. A flat 13 seconds | to get rid of a flat tire. If you can juggle tires in anything like such speedy time as that you can qualify for a contest to take the| championship away from Paine. There are 13,000,000 automobiles in the United States—12,000,000 drivers who know how (or ought to know to change a tire. Paine claims he's the fastest tire changer among 13,- 000,000. How about you? Can Casper produce a champion who can beat Charles Paine's record?

Two prominent resi- dents of Casper were returning from Denver a short time ago, when they were overtaken by one of the storms| which have become so frequent in| this section. In a short time the Yel- lowstone highway was inundated, and driving became almost impossible. Crash! A bolt of lightning struck near the highway, and both men were stunned. The driver lost control and the car plunged up the side of a deep cut, in which they were driv; ing at the time. The Dodge reached the top, faltered a moment, and then topped over backward, landing squarely upside down, from a height of about ten feet. A few ‘moments later, slightly stunned but whole In body, the two men opened the door of the coupe and stepped out. They had escaped] without a scratch. The body of the Dodge was only slightly bent on one side, The top was not harmed at all. Still Running and Owner Has It Yet Among the interesting records un- covered by the Franklin Automobile company as a part of its 2ist Sales Anniversary Celebration is the fact that a 1905 Franklin Runabout ts still running and is being operated by W.
