GAIM/< has made lip Its mlud to
be equal to the opportunities
with which the afkrtMbe-war
world abounds. We shall hear
of Cadi/. In many ways, says The
Christian Science Monitor. It has taken
note oT (lie new determination of the
northern ports such ns Vigo, Bilbao,
and ttotue others, and of Oporto of the
Portuguese, to make a big forward
movement, and, Spalh generally being
In an advantageous position in the
matter of maritime commerce, it con
ceives a more brilliant future opening
out for It In the new world conditions
than ever it had dreamed of. Vigo,
with the connivance of the Americans,
it is understood, Is about to make a
strong bid for the carrying trade with
North America, and as the main port
of entry into Europe from the upper
half of the American continent.
Itiit Cadi/, has had an advantage in
the past with regard to the South,
and hopes not only to maintain it, but
to strenghten it. She has been, in
effect, a great receiving and distribut
ing center, dealing with the South
Antttrican states, and spreading the
goods she received over Portugal and
all Spuin. She has flourished, and she
has done well by herself in every way.
But with Cadiz as with practically
every other place in Spain, there has
in modern times been a decline and a
recovery. It Is believed now that the
recovery will be great.
The New Movements.
z Cadi/, starts the new period with a
flue new equipment In the matter of
her harbor. The new Reina Victoria
quay will astonish the commercial men
and travelers who go there after a
long absence. The San FeHpe break
water ha* been extended, and, there
have been dredging and widening oper
ations, so that capacity and accom
modation ore now much greater than
ihey used to be. Big liners may now
bertli themselves well, and ns soon
as they are hitched up they will And
the newest electric traveling craues
and all the most up-to-date port ap
pliances ia operation.
So Cadir. bids the traders come, and
with Vigo, Seville, Bilbao and Barce
lona it helfw Spain to make u new
challenge to the world in maritime
matters, and this she most certainly
does. No country has such a tine sea
hoard and one so advantageously sit
uated. The Spaniards have thought of
the maritime possibilities of their
country before now, but they are think
ing of it intensely in the iifw condi
tion of the world economics. Already
far more ships are calling at Cadiz
than before the peace?though these
mere callers do not amount to much,
in (he oltJ prewar days the Hamburg
American line established u regular
monthly service from there to IVmam
huco. Bahia, Rio de Janeiro and San
tos; one or two French passenger lines
Mere making regular use of lite port,
nnd Hie English bonfs did so regularly.

w es *>wa\s approach
particular cities In a certain way Tind
the poorest way of all to approach
almost any city is by train. Never go
to Cadiz by rail. Better far, if you ar?
In inljj-Spain and must use the roads
or the tedious ferrocurll, go to Seville
or over to Tangier In Africa and make
one of those little voyages that are
regularly available, In order to come,
upou Cadiz by way of the sea. It is j
generally acknowledged that there is
im other sea approach In the world
that Is so beautiful us this.
Cadiz at such times and in such clr- I
cunrttanees^ls a glorious picture In
white and blue. She rises up frgjn the
sea on a small platform of limestone
rock which only a very narrow isth-.l
m,us holds to the mainland. In a ma
jestic silver beauty the houses with
their azotcas, or Hat roofs, seem, to
rise like a fairy city above the deep
blue of the sea, their mlradores or
view towers surmounting them. All are
heavily coated with whitewash fre
quently renewed.
Always White and Clean.
Thus the city Is always white, quite
smokeless, and is kept spotlessly clean.
It glistens in the sun against the blue
Andaluslan sky, with waters lapping
It nearly all around. The poets and
the descriptive writers ltave almost ex
hausted themselves In their use of fine
adjectives to describe Its beauty and
yet they feel they have fulled. Span
lards call It their "tazlta de plata," or
silver dish: some of them say It Is
more like a "palaclo de plata" beauti
fully chased, and from another aspect
they liken It to a great alabaster ship
floating out upon the waters. No term*
are too strong in which to speak of
Cadiz thus seen from the sea, for she
is indeed vory beautiful, veritably "a
white pearl set Id a crown of sapphires
and emeralds."
The Interior of no city could com
pletely match such an outside view,
but yet Cadlzi within. Is good and
pleasant also, and is always extremely
clean. But It Is a very practical place*,
and though It has Its cathedral with
? spire rising over all, It has little In
the way of art?one of the oldest cities
i of Spain though it be?to attract the
visitors who need It for their linger
ing at any place. It l? a place to
wonder at. to tarry at for but a little
while, and then to leave, knowing It
full well to be unforgettable. But In
the new days of traveling that are be
ginning. no person who wanders
toward the south of Spain should,
through neglect, iniss seeing Cadiz
from the water. It will live In his
memory when he ha* forgotten many
pictures. It will hold its place in his
esteem even when lie comes face te
face with the incomparable Bay of
Naples.

Big Value in
Small Cars
i m
Back of the manufacture of Goodyear Tires
for small cars is the same purpose to supply
high value in the product that is behind
# ? f '* f J f |M * a m
equip the most expensive automobiles built*
This purpose is expressed by the enormous
resources, extraordinary skill and scrupulous
care applied to the manufacture of Goodyear
Tires in the largest tire factory in the world
devoted solely to the 30x3-, 30x3 V2-> and
, 31x4'inch sizes* . . c
The effect of this endeavor is noted in the
fact that last year more cars using these sizes
were factory~equipped with Goodyear Tires
than with any other kind.
It is also noted in the fact that, if you own a
Ford, Chevrolet, Dort, Maxwell or other car
requiring the sizes mentioned, you can secure
Goodyear Tires and Goodyear Heavy Tourist
Tubesat the nearest Goodyear Service Station.
