A threatened scarcity of tires dur ing ine yiestjiu scasuu, uyuu ^m^u. the war will have some bearing, will at least have the effect of making the motorist heed the advice of the large tire manufacturers in the proper care of their tires. "We nave never advised, from a selfish point of view, that motorists give their tires every care and atten tion," said Mr. W. O. Rutherford, gen eral sales manager of the B. F. Good rich Rubber company. "All of the aP Kf TX/Vit/Vh TKfO have issued on this subject has been done with the Idea of educating auto mobile owners in the proper care of their tires so that they might get the very maximum of service from them. This applies to all other tires as well as Goodrich. The seriousness of this advice will be broueht home to thou sands of motorists during the present year, for the approximate waste of $3# per car owner during the 1916 season has been conservatively estimated at $150,000,000 for the entire country. And all of this has been due to negli gence of the car owner. The tire man ufacturers see hundreds of living ex amples of this negligence every day. A remedy must soon be effected for this extravagant waste can not con tinue. It has been almost impossible for the tire manufacturers to keep pace with the production of rp*r cars and at the same time meet the de mands of the cars already in U3e. An actual shortase in certain sizes ex ists at this time.

RAILROADS TO ABANDON muDt'mTTTVr 4 rTFVITIWtt .Atlanta, Ga., June 11.?Railroads of the South are to abandon competi tive activities and operate their lines during the war as part of the one na tional transcontinental system under the direction of the Railroads' War Board fo the benefit of the Goverm ment. Steps to make this plan ef fective were completed at a conference of the executive officers of the differ ent southern lines called to meet in Atlanta by W. J. Harahan, president of the Seaboard Air Line Railway and chairman of the southeastern depart ment. nf the War Board. In order to make available the max imum transportation energy for mov ing fuel, food, materials and troops necessary for the successful conduct of the war, the Southern lines adop ted the policy of reducing passenger service, either through elimination or consolidation, and utilizing the equip ment, men and coal thus released for the more important service of the Government. This policy, it was an nounced, will be observed with every posible effort to safeguard the con venience of the public. Plans were outlined to ask the co operation of shippers in loading cars to full capacity and releasing them as promptly as posible in order to in crease the car supply. A committee of five will be appoint ed to visit the Railroad Commissions of the different states and acquaint the State authorities with the facts as to what the railroads are try" to do for the success of the war. >EGRO WOMAN KILLEB.
