Reports from the baggage agents in both the North and South term- inals coin nd the verdict is that this season's vacation travel by rail ts much lighter than for several years. Baggage rooms do not present any congested appearance, and up to date this summer there has not been any. Trunks aren't fashionable.

All tires have a load limit. Over. loading shortens ahe Life of the tire. To determine accurately the load carried on a vehicle tire, weigh separately the front and fear wheels, and divide each weight by two for the tire load. To this can be added wright fig Urea corresponding to the average front and rear passenger load. The maximum actual tire load should not exceed the maximum load carrying capacity advertised by responsible tire manufacturers. A great part of tire trouble, so auto men say, is due to underin Mation of the inner tube. * ‘The casing may, be of the best grade; yet a poor Inner tube will bring on just as much trouble as if the wheel had a poor casing. Cheap and unbranded tubes handi- cap any casing. Good inner wubes are built of a} most pure rubber and have the strength of from one to one and one-half tons per cross-section inch. This means that if the tube stock were bullt up to a square test piece one inch thick and one inch wide, it would be strong enough to lift from 1,000 to 3,000 pounds 1235 Westlake N.
