Mr. Morley, who has given service close and careful study. points out that maximum mileage cannot be obtained from tires un- less they are given the right atten- tion and that it is just as essential to care for tires as it is to look at- ter the motor in a car. urn:-.m~.; Ia hnr-div an anticla in the motor In car. - "'.l`here is hardly an anticle general use today," he said. that gets more abuse or that is more responsive to proper treatment than ` the automobile and truck -tire.

There are three important fac- tors that must be looked after in getting maximum mileage from; tires. wheel alignment, proper in- ation and load capacities. The first give are what cause the most trou- e. While it is necessary in all tires to look after wheel alignment and air pressure. it is especially essen- tial in balloon tires. lhuna nu whnnln misaligned W111 balloon tires. Tires on wheels misaligned wear out much faster. They are sulb-~` iject to an action which is very` `similar to filing the tread off a tire.

I had a chat with the chamber- maid who described `him to be un- doubtedly English. in spite of his foreign name. He was a. rather tall, gray-haired man about sixty. He wore round gold--rimmed spectacles, and was quite lavish with his tips. The description was very. like that of the mysterious Max Fassbind. f\v\n AP 1-kg nnnl-are in H19 ha]! who or the mysterious Lvuuc uussuuxu.

Once he had seen him at dinner wit-h a young lady staying at the hotel. From the head waiter I ob- tained a description of the lady which not only coincided exactly with Erica. but it seems that she wore that same necklace of cchryso-` prases which I had seen on the nigiht of our first encounter in Soho.| and which was apparentlyher most. treasured ornament. ml... lnv mm: hm-n i'm- tum dnvs." on recalling that Anna Huber`s.

She had gone out leaving everything in her room as usual. as though expecting to return. But so rem`arkab`.e were all the facts. that I began to wonder whether she had not gone to Switzerland after all. Again, where was Erica herself? A week went by, and though the description of the missing Swiss girl was published in the papers. broadcasted by wireless. and the police searched everywhere, yet no trace of her could be found. Several times I was on the point of calling in iV\'ade at Scotland Yard, but I} was averse to revealing the whole story to the police. for Erica's sake.

On two occasions old Fassbind had called for her in El. taxi. and taken her out to dinner. and on one occasion, on a Sunday. auu |\\-;Jw ..,, they had gone out together. The de- 1 5 'a young fair-haired la-dy called, and ` scription of the lady tallied exactlylj with that of Lady Erica. In the; great vortex of London, a number of ` people are daily reported to the police as m`issin;.r. Some are never seen or heard of .again. They are pro`babl_v criminals, or `those who fear detection and arrest. or wives who disappear from their husbands. or husbands from their wives. Young people disappear in fits of mad jeal- ousy. `and other people commit suicide and their bodies are never discovered. But the percentage of people who meet with foul play it is impossible to gauge. Certain it is that. it search were made for every person reported to the Metropolitan Police as missing`, the force would have to be considerably augmented. With all this in View I realized the difficulty of discovering the w'here- abouts of either Erica or the fiancee of the young guide Hir-sch. The lat- ter had left Riverside Road. and was now living in a furnished room in a mean street off the Tottenham Court Road. apparently having been deserted by his friends.
