Improper Tire Inflation Is Prevented by a Valve To Insure the proper Inflation of motor-ca- r tires at all time, a North Dakota Inventor hat developed a pre and controlling air valve which Is capable of being em-ployed In several ways. Primarily, however, the Instrument Is supposed to be attached permanently to the valve of each of the four tires of a machine and connected by means of wires to an electric annuiu'lutor In-stalled on the dash. It Is 1 Inches In height, 1 Inches wide, and ad-justable so that It Is suitable for pneumatics of various sizes and ca- - The Valve Is Electrically Connected With an Annunciator on th Dash Which Informs a Motorist When the Proper Amount of Air Has Been Delivered to a Tire. pacltlcs. When a tire equipped with the valve Is being filled, it Is pumped ouly to the pressure recommended by Its manufacturer, for when this Is reached the adjusted valve automati-cally closes, releasing the further How coming through the supply tube. At the same time an electric contact Is made which trips a leaf on the an-nunciator, Indicating that a specific tire has been adequately Inflated. When It Is not wished to equip a car with a complete set of the valves, one of them may be used as a pocket gauge. Likewise the device can be attached to the supply tube at a fill-ing station and similarly used. Pop-ular Mechanics Monthly. American Flower$ to , Bloom at Stockholm Flowers from Yellowstone park will soon blossom In the royal gardens of the Swedish capital, according to word received In Washington by the United States national park service from Prof. H. 8. Conrad of Urlnnetl col-lege, director of the lecture and na-ture guide service In the park. Dur-ing the recent tour of Crown Prince Gustavo Adolphus and his consort through Yellowstone Natlonnl park, Professor Conrad was detailed to ac-company the royal party and to give the prince, whom he found to be an enthusiastic and bot-anist, the benefit of his Intimate knowledge of the mountain flora. Professor Conrad has shipped to Stockholm a collection of the rarer species of Yellowstone plants, not as yet represented In the royal herbari-um, and he has also sent seeds of a number of the choicer flowers which, It Is hoped, will become permanent American representatives at the Swed-ish court.

The time to take precautious Is be-fore the tour starts, the American Au-tomobile association warns, pointing opt that otherwise the motorist Is Ti let himself In for hurried re- - pairs and Incidental delays, which are liable to mar the tour. ' Preparatory Precautions. This warning Is expanded upon In .- -- a bulletin issued by the mechanical flrat-ai- d department of the Chicago Motor club, which stresses the 'neces-sity for three preparatory precautions a thorough cleansing of the water circulation system, the assurance that the brakes are In perfect order, and the marshaling of good rubber. Hut these were only the high spots; the bulletin lists half a score of other sug-gestions,' based on the experience of thousands of emergency road service calls. The tires should.be either new or In first-clas- s condition, all cuts and abrasions having been filled with ce-ment, and a reliable gauge to keep the pressure at a proper level should be tucked In a side pocket. A dully e Inspection will prove well worth while and perhaps prevent a disastrous breakdown. "Upon the lubrication will depend at least 80 per cent of the car's serv-ice. The motorist ahonld determine ' definitely that the oil particularly ' suited to his car may be obtained en route, or he should take enough with him to last until his return. The same applies somewhat to gasoline. . One should always Insist on a tillable, '. dependable brand. To Insure contin-ued, efficient operation It Is necessary to go over the grease cups and other - points of lubricutlon before starting '." each day's trip. - "The wise tourist carries at least two new spare tires complete with at least two spare tubes In waterproof and dustproof bugs." Contents of Tool Kit ' A comprehensive tool kit and com-plete set of chains to prevent nkld-- ; ding and to help extricate the car from mud holes ul"" are essential. '" The tool kit, it Is suggested, 'might In- -' elude a I urge monkey wrench, a small - monkey wrench, two sizes of screw ' drivers, a set of socket wrenches, a set of open-en- d wrenches, a pipe wrench, a machinist's' hammer, a set of punches, told and cape chisels, two sizes of files, a pair of pliers, a knife, and possibly a small vise. A - good Jack, preferably of the d J variety, a powerful hand pump If the car Is not equipped with a power pump, a lug wrench and a small block of wood to go under the Juck In soft ground, also are a part of the equip-ment. The motorist Is also advised to carry a tow rope, which It is pointed out. Is "one of those things one may never have to use, but which prove Indispensable if the emergency should happen to arise." "The new gasoline strainer and an air cleaner will Increase the efficiency of the car, and some sort of light to Illuminate the right-han- d ditch at night when passing other cars Is also " dcslruble. An extra roll of wire and , electric light bulbs will not be amiss, and, If there is room for It, a bottle of - distilled water for the battery will V eliminate frequent stops to give the battery a drink." Etruscan Study Planned The Etruscans, predecessors of the Roman civilization In the Italian pen-insula, are to have their little-know- n history Investigated by a group of Italian scholars, who organized for this purpose at a national Ktruscan congress recently held at Milan. Pres-ent knowledge of the Etruscan race and Its culture Is very fragmentary, though they had a high civilization and proud cities In Italy when Rome was a mere collection of hnts beside the Tiber. Their Influence was strong-ly felt In the days of the early repub-lic, and survivals . of their religion probably held In the cults of Home to the very end of paganism. It Is be-lieved by one of the Italian scholars Interested in the movement that the famous buried city of Pompeii was rlglnally an Etruscan settlement. Chick$ Knew the Call The perplexing problem of Identi-fying 135 stolen chickens from a flock of 5,000 was solved by Mrs. Al-fred Uarand at Wllllamstown, N. J. When the police asked her to prove ownership, Mrs. Uarand stood In an adjacent field and began to whistle "There's no place like home." One by one the chickens hopped out of the flock and came over to her un-til 135 chickens, looking very mucti like brothers and sisters, stood peep-ing and crowing at her feet. The woman explained that every morning before feeding her flock she whistled that tune In the poultry house, a signal for straying chicks to crowd around the cracked-cor- n hopper. Fatt Workers According to the bureau of labor statistics the output per man In the Iron and steel Industry has increased 50 per cent since 1014, when most of the men were on a day sched-ule. They now work 8. Efficiency In hoot and shoe making haa Increased 17 per cent In the same period. The most amazing augmentation of effort, how-ever, Is found in the making of auto-mobiles, where the output per man la now three times as great as It was 12 years ago. The Outlook.

Automobiles Will Skid When Tire Rubber Is Wet Did you ever place dependauce on your rubber heels when walking along a rain-swe- sidewalk only to be shocked and perhaps bumped by their inability to grip the cement? That proves that rubber must be dry to cling. Once rubber has become wet It Is much more slippery than oily metal. This simple little fact should mean much to motorists, for by It we see that It Isn't wet pavements, but wet rubber tires, that skid automobiles. Steel tires wouldn't skid, because neither wet steel nor wet concrete is slippery. Hut automobiles skid In rainy weather because wet rubber Is slippery. All of which points to the necessity of nonskid chains whenever the tires are dump or wet Only the presence of steel cross links will effectually stop skidding. And If all accidents from skidding should suddenly and completely be eliminated, motor fa-talities and injuries would be reduced nearly one-thir- Such Is the effect of slippery wet rubber and the Im-portance of nonskid chains. Tires in Hot Weather Many motorists still believe that In hot. weather the air In a tire expands to the danger point It is true, of course, that on a warm day the air does expand, but so slightly that Its effect Is negligible. The practice of running tires at less than the recom-mended pressure Instead of effecting a saving has cost motorists thousands of dollars, for Internal tire heat re-sults not from the temperature of the outside air but from constant bending of the tire as It rolls along tjie road.
