-LIFE: We Tremble! There has been no case of small- pox in the Navy Department, but as the 1,500 clerks employed there are under the same roof with those of the War Department, where two cases have developed, Sceretary Daniels directed Surgeon General Stokes of the navy to vaccinate every one—New York Times. Information is wanted about the two cases which have “developed.” The vigilant War Department would not, of course, be willing to admit that any of its employees have not been vac- cinated This alone would be enough to condemn any self-respecting War Department. Asserting, therefore, with all the power of conviction within us, that every one in the War Department must have been vaccinated, how does it happen that two of these deceived people have been taken down with smallpox ? Congress ought to investigate this wicked affair at once. The bare sug- gestion that people who have been vac- cinated are catching smallpox is a hor- rible affront upon our most cherished IRON RAILING Entrance Gates WIRE FENCING of all designs and for all purposes.

CARPENTER CO. 862 Postal Ba NEW YORK TT Catalogues Four years ago every electric car was equipped with pneumatic or solid tires. Today over half of the electric cars carry neither of these types. The great majority now carry Mots Cushion Tires. It probably won't be long now until a pneu- matic-equipped or solid-tire-equipped electric will be an unusual sight. Pneumatic tires Jost out because they proved too treacherous, too troublesome—and too costly. Solid tires /ost out because they failed utterly to protect the occupants or the delicate parts of the car from rough bumps and jolts. Motz Cushion Tires won out because in four years they proved to be BOTH easy-riding and trouble-proof. And because they reduced tire upkeep to a small item. Shock-Absorbing Tires Motz Cushion Tires, which have ended puncture and blowout troubles, opened people's eyes to the fact that a tire to be shock-absorbing and casy-riding does not have to be filled with air, liquid or any other kind of a filler. Amazing resiliency can be obtained by the use of purely mechanical principles. See the double, notched treads (A_ in pic- ture), which prevent skidding and distribute the weight to the sides. The sides are undercut (see B), which allows free action of slantwise bridges’ (see C). These bridges are clastic. They give and yield like the air in a pneumatic St. Louis, $187 Delmar Blvd.; Kansas City, On Electric Cars ‘Pneumatic and Solid Tires Are Doomed tire. Note D in the picture, showing shock- absorbing qualities when tire runs over a stone. Economy No user of Motz Cushion Tires is burdened by tire-repair expense. Or by carrying extra, emer- gency tires. Or by having to buy new tires every few months. These tires are specifically GUARANTEED for 10,000 miles, two years. Would any pneumatic tire-maker dare guar- antee his tires that long? Did ever another tire offer such economy as this? Adopted by Electric Makers No matter what kind of an Electric you choose, the maker will equip it with Motz Cushion Tires if you so request. He will be glad to do it, knowing he’s giving you a trouble- proof car and one that's well protected from the shocks of road contact. Don’t buy a fine electric, and then spoil nine- tenths your pleasure by accepting any old tires. Look into this tire question.
