United States Tire News.
A successful motorist whose car j
has been stuck in the mud does
not always have to fall back on a
pair of mules to get free. For
such an emergency the United
States Tire Company offers some ;
suggestions that have proved
very valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car a
stack of old newspapers. When
the car gets stuck and the wheels
reluse to take hold, feed in some ■
of the old papers between the
tires and the mud. Usually only
a few will have to be worked in
before the wheels will begin toj
grip and the car start forward.!
This method of handling a difficult
situation is simple and so uniform !
ly successful, that every motorist
should know of it and carry a pile
of old newspapers, unless he is
equipped with some other appa
ratus for such a contingency.
Here is the other method sug
gested by the United States Tire
Company: Put the car in low,
and if you cannot feed the gas
with your foot evenly, so that the
wheels will revolve slowly, put
your emergency brake on. Do
not put it on so that the wheels
will not revolve at all, but tightly
enough to .veep them from revolv
ing rapidly. With the wheels
turning slowly, the maximum pull
is delivered to them by having the
car in low gear, and so long as
they turn slowly they can get the
benefit of the tremendous power.
It is not always wise to fill the
hole wuth stones or bricks, for
their rough edges are hard on
tires. Small branches of trees are
better, as they offer much better
tractive space. Should this method,
fail, quite often a slight push that
would not much more than move
a baby buggy will furnish just the
added amount of power necessary
to get the car going.
Examine Speer’s line of Auto
goggles. The Welworth goggles
are the best. See them in Speer’s
show windows.

Catharine Bryan Kindergarten
And Normal Training School.
At the last Convention W. B. M.
U. of Georgia held in Atlanta, No
vember 1918, a campaign whs be
gun to raise $15,000 tor a kinder
garten and Normal Training school
for Central China, to be located at
Shanghai, under direction of Miss
F. Catharine Bryan, who had her
training for this work in Atlanta.
Miss Bryan is the eldest daught
er of Dr. and Mrs. Bryan, mission
aires, and was born in Chingkiang,
China, June 18, 1886. Her life
has been spent among the Chinese
and she understands the workings
of the oriental mind as no Ameri
can reared girl could.
Miss Bryan saw the possibilities
of the work, first, in the heart of
the child at its most impressiona
ble age, before sin and supersti
tion had hardened and spoiled it;
second, in reaching through the
child the home and the hearts of
the parents; third, in reaching the
girls who act as teachers and as
sistants, the mothers to be of the
next generation, and training them
to go out and establish kinder
gartens and schools all over the
land. She says: “I believe that
the salvation of a people rests
with their children. I am con
vinced that the greatest open door
to the hearts of the Chinese is
through the Christian training of
their little ones.”
Needs
More schools, more churches,
more Bible homes. It is chiefly
through the mission schools that
the women of China have been
reached and their condition bet
tered.
Haying been trained for the
kindergarten and normal work,
Miss Bryan is waiting for equip
ment. While some equipment
has been provided, the greatest
need is a building.
I The high school graduates are
i waiting. They must be trained to
do effective work and they are so
i anxious for it that we lost three
of our most promising girl gradu
ates to the splendid Methodist
Training School in Foochow last
! year.
Our present staff of native
teachers is both inadequate and
I unfit for the demands of the work.

Sacred Harp Singing
One of Best Ever.
With the exception of the first
Sacred Harp singing ten years
ago, well remembered as the big
“warehouse dinner” occasion, that
of last Sunday at the court house ,
was perhaps the largest in the
history of that popular organiza
tion.
Automobiles filled every avail
able space around the public
square, overflowing to other park
ing places, and the court room
was thronged beyond even stand
ing capacity, and the singing as
usual was all that could be de
sired by lovers of this splendid
old music.
Numbers of prominent singers
were present, among whom was
Hon. Joe James of Douglasville,
the well known author and law
yer, and he was given special
welcome by numerous friends and
admirers.
An abundant and tempting bas
ket dinner was spread in the
park, after enjoyment of which,
exercises were resumed in the
afternoon and continued with
absorbing interest to the hour of
adjournment.
All in all it was one of the best
singings yet held, and the pro
moters are justly gratified at its
all round success.
Mr. I. P. Rosser, the well known
splendid leader, was honored with
re election as president for the
tenth consecutive time, together
with the other regular efficient
officers.

Buy a Souther Circus Ticket:
An Airplane Will Visit Country.
Word has been received from
Souther Field that its ticket de
partment for the great aerial cir
cus and field day to be held July
12th, is fully organized. They are
prepared to dish out the paste
boards at 50' each to the palpi
tating public. Advance sales are
already coming in, and arrange
ments are being made for a local
salesman in every town within
reach of f he camp.
The following inducement has
been offered to every town within
a radius of seventy-five miles of
Souther Field to buy tickets in
advance. As soon as the local
agent has sold seventy-five tickets
in advance and will notify the
Commanding Officer of Souther
Field of the fact, an airplane will
be sent to that community; if there
is a suitable landing field, the ship
will land. At any rate it will give
demonstrations of flving and stunt
ing over the city and in each and
every twon where the ship lands,
the holder of a ticket will be en
titled to leave a letter with the
selling agent, addressed anywhere
in the United States. These let
ters will be taken up by the visit
ing ship and started on their way
by airplane mail, notification to
j that effeot being iqade on the let
ter. This is a unique opportunity

I for the young man with a sweet
heart to purchase two tickets and

Air Line. These tickets on July
12th will entitle the bearer to see
more for his or her money than
has been crowded into the fifty
cent limit since prices began to go
up in 19t4. It is promised that
there will be something doing ev
