In addition to the aerous entertain- ments given by generous supporters "to help the various Branches, it gives the Committee great pleasure to mention the exceedingly popular and surressful Aquatic Sports For Children in aid of the MCI Cots at Osterhow, which were organised this year for the first time, by Lily Rees Davies.

The efforts made in 10 to extend the work of the Cuild and League over the greater portion of the year was con- tinued in 1925. In view of the unsettled. weather n the day of the Bazaar, which andoubtedly interfered with the receipts, this policy has been amply justified.

The Report is signed by Lady Stubbs, as President; Lady Evelyn Stuart Taylor, as Hon. Treasurer; and Mrs. Dyer Ball, as Hon. Secretary."

HOW TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM

MICHELIN TYRES.

Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry. We can tell you what this should be.

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the "bead.

Most ca sin Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results. Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment. If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.

Start and crop gently and take corners slowly.
