The tests were made on . all
types of roads under many dif-
ferent renditions with this result:
Tires wear qut four times as fast
at 46 miles par-hour as they do
at 36 miles per hour.
Although it is not assumed that
the average driver travels nor-
mally at a speed-of 66 miles per
hour, those making the study fig-
ured out that if all of us would
limit our speed to “not over 86”
the life of the average tire ftoujd
be prolonged for 6,000 to 8,000
miles. Thus if this speed limit is
properly enforced, under present
gasoline rationing, the cars of
our nation could be kept rolling
for a year and a half longer than
if we go on “driving as usual.”
Next to speed, the greatest
harm to tires was found to. come
from stop and go driving, which
often cannot lie avoided. It was
found that normal city driving
used up tires seven times as fast
as driving on rural pavements at
25 miles pea hour.
Other major causes of tire wear
were: quick starting, quick brak-
ing, speeding on curves, poqrly
inflated tires, heavy loads. And
here’s a tip: your tires last twice
as long on wet pavements. ■ So
maybe we should all try to stay
home when the Sun is shining and
do our driving in a nice hard rain.

IT STILL GOES
There has been a change in mili-
tary uniforms during the wars of
this country. There has beei.
drastic alteration in fighting
equipment through the years.
Even the orders, requirements,
age and food have altered with
the times. But there seems Jo be
one thing that retains the same
as wars come and go, our fight-
ing men want their tobacco. The
industry has profitted greatly
for the product has gained in fa-
vor as it passed from fad to fan-
cy through the years. Nicotine
finds place among the rank and
file and fights on every front to-
day .
After the Civil War practically
nine-tenths of the men of Both
north and south had taken up
chewing tobacco. This was mixed
as molasses and salt with the to-
bacco leaves and then pressed in-
to, small cakes which found a
place in the masculine pockets,
and Borne feminine too, we under-
stand. Though pipes were com-
mon in those days, gentlemen
didn’t smoke pipes! Cigars were
manufactured but they weren’t
practical for the soldiers to carry
about and since matches wpre
harder to get than today, it all
made chewing tobacco the popular
choice. Soon the cake plugs gave
way to a fine cut chew which
seemed to lend more refinement
to the* nicotine habit. Then dawn-
ed the day of cigarettes for the
soldier and no army will willing-
ly let its men be without cigar-
ettes if they can help it. There
have been many words spoken and
written against nicotine and the
smoking habit, the harmful ef-
fect and so on, but there isnt’ any-
one in Teague so opposed to smok-
ing that they would countenance
a campaign to deprive our fight-
ing men of tobacco. So it goes
through the years and though the
manner has changed the popular
appeal is still there whether it is
chewing, smoking a pipe, cigar or
cigarette.
It sure was*nice to be back home,
But it ail seemed like a dream,
It didn’t take so very long to
find out that it didn’t only
seem.
So to settle all my troubles .
Now believe-you me, this is true,

OUR FLAG
The flag that waves o’er land and
Means more than life to you and
me,
When the wind blows it too and
fro
Not a person can toach it, not
over our bough.
The flag that waves for you and
me,"
Says give me death or liberty.
We look up to our flag on high,
Beyond we see pale blue sky,
Then we hear a thunder like roar
Our flag will still stand, it has
before.
old type “B” and “C” coupons will
accomplish three important ob-
jectives, Mr. Wallace emphasized:
1. It will tighten the gasoline
rationing program, by rendering
useless stolen, illegally-held, and
counterfeit coupons of the old type
now circulating in the black mar-
ket.
2. Dealers throughout the coun-
try will only have to handle one
type of Isach class of coupon.
3. As the new coupons provide
space on the front for the re-
quired endorsements (licensed
number and state of registration
of vehicle for which the ration was
issued)^ the necessity for writing
on the back of coupons will be
eliminated. This will make the
identifying the coupon
with the car for which the ration
was issued, more readily discern-
ible to dealers for checking.

i No 100-gaiion bulk coupons have
been jaued by War Price and Ra-
tioning Board since June 16, Mr.
Wallace pointed out. At that
time OPA set up procedure for
providing large users of gasoline
(those using 960 gallons a-month
or more) with rations through ra-
tion bank certificates. However,
all outstanding bulk coupons re-
mained valid for the period for
which they Were issued. Beginn-
ing August 28, holders of such
coupons must apply to the War
Price and Rationing Boards to
have them exchanged for regular
coupons of the appropriate class
—“B,” “C,” “E,” “R,” or
“TT"—or, in the case of large
users, for ration ba^k certifi-
cates. In the case of appli-
cants for “B,” “C,” “E,” or “R,”
coupons, Boards will issue a suf-
ficient number of the proper cou-
pons to take care of the ration
holders’ needa for the rest of the
ration period, but no one will re-
ceive higher gallonage v^lue than
was represented by the surrender-
ed coupons. If the bulk coupons
