Be SURE to get well-define- d s y . At the beginning of 1919 there were still 22 states iu which motortrucks were registered at the same rate as pleasure cars. Recent years, however have shown quite a general tendency to increase the fees required for heavy motortrucks. This increase usually is based on the weight of the truck, its carrying capacity, or a combination of its carrying capacity and its horsepower. However, there is as yet no evidence of any general goal toward which this movement is tending. Some states are placing a definite maximum weight which may not he exceeded except in very special cases; others are evidently relying on discouraging or limiting the use of very heavy trucks by making the registration fees so large as to practically prevent the realization of any profit; while still other states are making no serious efforts except to limit the weight of the wheel loads per inch width of tire. The terms motortruck and commercial vehicle, moreover, are very definite. In some states the term commercial Vehicle as used includes all trucks, while in others only those vehicles used for hire are classed as commercial. . WRIOLEYS i , ' Sealed Tight Kept Right The Flavor Lasts ? , NEW AUTO TIRE FINDS FAVOR Claimed by Those Who Have Used It to Last Longer Than the Ordinary Make. Manufacturers of automobile tires are keeping right to the front in "the motor car industry. Buying new tires to replace the old wornout and damaged ones is one of ihe chiefest sources of expense in the ownership and operatiou of an automobile. Even with the lighter weight cars the tire cost per mile of travel is equal to, if not greater, than the cost of fuel and d oil ; w ith the heavy weight, cars using the larger sizes of tires', the tire cost per mile is often high-price- - j , i .considerably more than Is the cost of fuel and oil. Heretofore the outer casings of tires have been made up of a combination of woven canvas fabric and hard rubber. During the past five years there has come onto the market a new type of casing known as the cord tire, vi hich is rapidly gaining favor with motorists, as they claim It is longer lived tlan Is the canvas fabric casing. In this new tire, instead of using a woven canvas fabric as a foundation, there is Used a series of strong cotton cvds or string. The claim Is that thesv cords will not break as readily under the varying strains of country road usage as will the woven fabric. If one realizes that when the fabric Is worn or rotted out the tire is useless, he will see the Importance of having this foundation material of the very best which Is available and which can be used.

V Sometimes the vacuum tank of a fuel system remains dry when there is plenty of gasoline In the main tank. Generally this is due to foreign matter making Its way into the fuel pipe between the two tanks and obstructing the passage of the Iquld.

I The SantaU Indians must literally purchase their brides.' They pay a sum of money to the girls parents usually about 100 dupees and, in addition, they present the mother and the female relatives with new saris or shawls. Should the bridegroom choose a widow for his wife, she will only cost half the sum mentioned. The reason why the Santali Indians hold widows In less regard than unmarried females Is because they assert that in the next world man and wife are reunited, hence a' widow who marries again is only lent to her second husband. When a young man courts a girl who does not favor his suit, he adopts nn eccentric way to cure her stubbornness. After having dipped his finger in red paint, he goes in search of the lady nnd imprints his mark on her forehead. Then he may claim her as his wife.
