Although not as spectacular as a blowout, the "sneaker" is just as dangerous, especially when it occurs on a rear wheel, according to Mr.

Patterson, manager of the local Firestone Auto Supply and Service store at Third and Eel River avenue, where the Tire X-ray will be at the service ot the car owners of this vicinity for this week only. "It gives no warning until the rear end of the car suddenly starts to swing from side to side," says Mr. Patterson. "The driver's el- fort to counteract the flsh-tailing motion by manipulating the wheel generally aggravates the side- whip. If the car is traveling in the higher speed brackets, application of the brakes causes almost certain disaster.

When a "sneaker" occurs, there is just one right thing to do--disengage the clutch and hold the steering wheel steadily. The car 'will automatically "find its feet' and come" to a safe stop. "Most 'sneakers' are caused bj glass, nails and other metal ob jects that work through the tire into the tube. A damaged body sec tion in the tire presents the same hazard. Firestone's new Tire ray detets these lurking dangers and makes It possible to remove them before the 'sneaker' Mr.

Patterson concluded.

then all was in readiness to send Europe's grea powers into war. Germany's military preparations were completed, with perhaps 2,600,000 men under arms and war supplies assembled. Official sources in Warsaw reported Germany's troops in East Prussia were ordered completely mobilized. Food was being rationed and wardrobes were limited by official decree in Germany. Sand bags were packed arouml government offices In Warsaw and the frontier with Germany was partly closed.

Paris clamped down a censorship in France as her war preparations brought well over men to the colors. Newspapers reported that the German-French frontier had been closed at some points. Many thousands of persons were evacuating Paris. Urge Americans leave Italy Americans were officially warned to leave Italy as they already had been warned out of most European countries, and Rome was gloomy even as reports circulated that a five-power peace might yet be called. In London, the government issued war time regulations and made plans for a "war cabinet'' including opposition leaders.

Parliament was to meet tomorrow. War time emergency regulations were issued in London. Reports reached the admiralty that German submarines were in the Mediterranean. Tens of thousands of school children practiced evacuation of London.

Strict regulations were Issued to mobilize British foreign liquid assets and the pound sterling dropped to a new. recen low. The Netherlands proclaimed gen eral mobilization, the first nation to take such formal action although 12,000,000 men under arms through Europe put all big powers in a practical state of mobilization President Roosevelt abandoned a proposed trip to Hyde Park to keep in touch with European developments and it was reported abroad that he was being consulted by Britain about a possible peace conference. Conference Talk Talk of a five-power peace conference spread in Rome, but there appeared to be only the slimmest hope in other capitals that come action might yet be taken to ward off the war threat.

In Paris, particularly, the French officials were Bloomy, setting up a censorship and evacuating large numbers civilians from the danger zone -including Paris. Hitler was described as a.ngry because the French had sought to put full blame for the war danger on him and the German capital, mobilized and on food rations, was glumly ready for anything. Reports said France had closed part oC the German frontier. In Warsaw, the Polish government threatened retaliation for countless alleged German frontier invasions but in general the cabinet and people calmly awaited a showdown. Of possible encouragement to Poland was a report that Russia intended to supply the Poles with war materials in event of a conflict.

Only Saturday, an official press disclosure in Moscow had said that the new Russian-German pact would not prevent such action. Tnrkej- Stands Pat More important in a concrete way, was word from Istanbul that Turkey was turning down the German proposals that she desert the front: 3ritish-French security from Tokyo that a new cahinet more friendly toward the British and the United States was being 'ormed and from Spain that the Franco government would remain neutral instead of permitting Germany and Italy to use highly mportant naval bases In event of war. But from a diplomatic viewpoint, he week-end had thrust all the big powers nearer some sort of showdown in which the ground for maneuvering toward a peaceful settlement seemed definitely to be narrowed. This was due largely to Hitler's sudden and angry action in pub- shinff the text of his letter to 'remier Edouard Daladier reveal- ng publicity for the first time that is demanded the return ot the Polish corridor (all former German land in Poland constitutes about one-third of Polish terri- ory) The Nazi Fuehrer published the etter, it was understood, because believed that Premier Edouard Daladier had betrayed a conference announcing that. Germany had ejected French proposals for eaceful settlement of the dispute with Poland.

The fact that the war of nerves for the moment a war of angry words had reached a stage in tvhich each big nation was seeking saddle its foes with responsibil- ty if war breaks out Indicated the Hm possibility ot success for Britain's efforts to keep the road peace open.
