ANNOUNCEMENT
More Mileage
Adjustment on
Goodrich Tires
Fabrics -6,000 Miles
Cords- 8,000 Miles
TO automobile owners and
drivers ? to Goodrich Dealers
?the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company herewith declares a
more ^mileage adjustment on
Goodrich Tires ? 6,000 miles for
SAFETY TREADS, and 8,000
miles for SILVERTOWN CORDS*
Fix these new Goodrich Adjustment figures
firmly in your mind? 6,000 miles for SAFETY
TREADS ? 8,000 miles for SILVERTOWNS
? instead of the 3,500 and 5,000 miles
respectively heretofore in force .
This new adjustment stands back of all Good
rich Tires, including Tires already purchased
in the hands of user or dealer.
Goodrich Tires in actual usage are today un
folding such matchless mileage, regularly in
excess of adjustment basis, that Goodrich
knows it has the strongest, most durably?
tires the rubber industry has produce*}.
The Goodrich adjustment mileage is increased
because Goodrich knows the mileage in its
tires, and it wants to give every motorist a
share in their economy.
Go to a Goodrich Dealer, and buy a Goodrich
Tire, sure that with fair and square usage
a Safety Tread will render you at least 6,000
miles; and a Silvertown Cord at least 8,000.

They are ridden by the health rot'

They make themselves a nuisance.
They get up at Impossible hours.
They go out In silly little suits and
run marathon heats before breakfast.
They chase around barefoot to get the
dew on their feet. They hunt for
ozone. They bother about pepsin.
They won't eat meat because It has
too much nitrogen. They won't est
fruit because It hasn't any. They pre
fer albumen and starch to huckleberry
pie and doughnuts. They won't drink
water out of a tap. They won't oat
sardines out of a tin. They won't use
oysters out of a pall. They won't
drink milk ont of a glass. They are
afraid. Yes, sir, afraid. Cowards 1
And after all their fuss they pres

Treaty Will Be Hand-Written. j
News dispatches from Par^p say that
the old tradition that treaties shall b?
written by hand survives, and that Jo
seph Carlo of the French ministry ol
foreign affairs, official callgraphlst and
paLnter, Is writing the new paac?
treaty.
For about 40 years the post of of?
flclal Illuminator In the French min
istry of foreign affairs was held by
M. Garapln. He had one lc*ro In life ? ,
"the pen," to quote his -jos^n words,
"this simple and marvelous instru
ment through which human thought
is transcribed and forever preserved;"
one hate ? "the vulgar and unaesthetlc
typewriter, which prints without art
pages that time will not respect."
The official callgraphlst not only
writes treaties and conventions, but
also all the official documents con-'
ferring orders of decorations on sot* '
erelgns, and all the letters which ar?
sent to them nnd signed either bj
the president of the republic or mini*'
tera.

A recent morning a Missouri fnrmei
placed three crateH of chickens and
five bushels of potatoes in his trailer, 1
hitched the trailer to his automobile
and started for town. He was almost
there when he discovered he had no;
trailer. He found he had parted com. .
pany with It a quarter of a mile from
home, and when he got back to it the
crates were empty and the potatoes
frozen.
He presumed, of course, the chick
ens bail been stolen, and was greatlj
surprised when he went to the hen
house early nejet day after breakfast
to find every one of the chickens there.
Not one was missing. They had all
returned hoir>e, but how they got out
out of the crates probablj will always
remain u mystery.

Life of a Collier.
A Scottish correspondent of the
Yorkshire Post living in a colliery dis
trict. writes: The sentimental pity ex
tended on the "poor devil who never
sees tho light of day" is sheer rubbish,,
and when uttered by union leaders Is
merely clap-trap. I meet plenty of our
local miners coming home dally be
tween two and three In the afternoon,
baving'done their shift from 7 a. m.,
and probably earned $5 in the
meantime. If you stopped one of
these men to commiserate with him
on his "dreadful" employment, he
would stare at you In amazement, and
wonder what on earth you were talk
ing about. At a smoking concert some
months ago one of our miners sang a
song called "Down In the Mine." It i
drew a lurid picture of a miner's life,
and one line referred to his "toiling
for a bare existence." The miners-^
roared with laughter, In which the
singer joined.
Novel Counter-Clalm.
A hovel plea was put forth by Llfr
fur Sigurdson, an Icelander, describ
ed as an accountant, who was commit
ted for trial at the Guildhall, London,
charged with embezzling money be*
longing to his employers. When the
chief bookkeeper of the,flrm was called
to the colors, Sigurdson was engaged j
at $12 a week, and later It wa? dis
covered that smaller sums had been
paid lnte the bank than had been re
ceived. Questioned, he agreed that
he had used about $1,000 for his ?wn
purposes, and after arrest added : "I
have a heavy counter-claim ag&lnst
them for Inciting a young man to com
mit forgery." He went on to argue
that by not keeping a sufficient check
on him the firm had Induced him to
use their money, and that he had a
claim for damages against them.

lit uoon today when he attempted to rid#
a young mule to the house from the field,
where he had been flowing. While no
one witnessed the accident, it is suppos
ed that the mule threw the lad. The
trace chains were loose ami the uufor
tuuate eld 1(1 was entangled and dragged
for a quarter of a mile, while the fright
ened animal was running at a fast gait.
The mule did not stop until it reached
a rye patch near the house. It -was
necessary to remove th<j chains from
around the boy's legs and body, so tight
ly had they become woven about him.
The sight which greeted Mrs. Bouye, the
boy's mother was a ghastly one, she be
ing the first to reach his side. The boy
lived but a few moments after he had
been released and examination revealed
t ho fact that all of the flesh had been
torn from ?ooth legs and from one ami
and the skin almost completely removed
from his body.
