a
Superlative Tire
The whole question of a super-tire is a matter of principles.
For there is nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents,
no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker from build
ing the best.
But cost and competition modify ideals. The Brunswick
idea is to pay perfection's price and get it.
ev That has been the Brunswick policy since 1845. And It ac
counts for the growing preference for Brunswick Tires.
Motorists cxpect the utmost from a tire bearing th* name frf
Brunswick ? and get it.
You, too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that
here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy
a better.
Better tires of their type are impossible ? or better tubes.
That wc guarantee.

Unloading Goods at Soorabaya.
IT IS very easy to enter Java. says
a writer In the New York Sun.
Tourists are welcomed cordially
and the customs officials are ef
ficient about It, so that the llrst Im
pression of Java Is pleusnnt. Some
say that It Is Just as'easy to get out
of as into Java, hinting tlmt the I>ntch
resent misbehavior and unfair criti
cism and that undeslrablo visitors are
sometimes requested to leave forth
with.
Most visitors land at Tandjong I'rl*
ok, the harhor for ltatuvia. about sev
en tulles from the city. This h?irt>or
was built between 1877 and 188(5, and
was considered one of the finest co
lonial harbors In the world until some
of the British harbors excelled, and
now the Dutch are re-establishing their
claim for this distinction with the
harbor construction at Soerabaya. De
spite the fact that there art two har*
bors, outer and Inner, the commerce
of Batnvla has really outgrown the
facilities offered by 'the present har
bor Works. . ?
The outer harbor has a depth of 20
feet, and is protected by two break
waters, each 0,000 feet in length. The
Inner harbor is some 8?600 feet long
and over 500 feet wide, with quays on
each side. The east &uijr has coaling
sheds. The piers are of concrete con
struction, with spur tracks from the
railway. The cost of this harbor was
over $10,500,000.
Protected From Crocodiles.
About a quarter of an hour's drive
from Tandjong, In one otythose funny
antiquated hacks drawn by ponies, is
"Petit Trouville," where sea bathlhg
may be enjoyed. The bathing pool Is
Inclosed to kee^ out crocodiles and Is
probably perfectly safe, but I have
seen fences on land give way before
a rushing bull nnd a convenient tree
provided the protection which the
fence failed to give. So I refrained
from enjoying the security of the
fenced-in pool. ? A crocodile Is fully as
powerful nnd as fast as an infuriated
bull, nnd he Is Just as lininune to rea
son. The Dutch have not provided,
convenient trees as an extra safe
guard, but most of them know the
crocodiles by name nnd do not seem
afraid of them. It Is different with
strangers.
The. drive from Tandjong IMiok to
ttatavln Is a fitting prelude to a tour
of Java. In this short drive, seven
mtles or so, is found the happy com
bination of good roads, an unsurpassed
luxuriance of tropical vegetation und
a kaleid'os<*ople whirligig of peoples,
native and foreign, dressed In their
own peculiar manners and going about
their business in their Individual ways.
All the way to Batavla the road runs
along the canhl, and along the canal
are rice fields, coconut groves, native
settlements and a new surprise at ev
ery turn "f the way. Tall coconut
palms reach out over the canal from
the great groves along the banks.
Nestled anions them art* the pictur
esque native houses with their bamboo
woven sides and thatched roofs; over
head Is the turquoise blue sky so pe
peeullar to the tropics, and to intensify
Its hlueness are the cotton clouds as
motionless as the palms
The Goat an Institution.
All this beauty Is shown both above
mid below, for there In the canal Is
the reflection of the whole scene. even
to the cattle, the sleek humped kind,
the buffalo and the goats. We must
rot forget the goats. They are as In
ev 11 a hie a" they arc Innumerable.
Coats are to Java what dogs are to
America. They run at vs111?are ev
erybody's friend
If there is a fight or a fire, they
scamper about on the edge of the
1 crowd. If a tire blows our. there they
| are. eagerly awaiting any scraps of
rubber or cloth which may hp thrown
! away. They are the comedians of
I metropolitan Java. In the provinces
; there the m??nkey? are as Tunny as at
the zoo.
Well, this finds ti" in Java ?and what.

For hundreds of years i?efi>rp Co- t
Iambus discovered America, Hindu In
fluence was. dominant In Java, and
then Die bolshevlkl came over from
Arabia and messed tilings up, This
was in 1477.
The Portuguese peeked in nt one or
two of the ports in KM 1 and said:
"Sh-h-h! Qrutot now, it Hows. *ve
won't do a thing to this place." But
they did.
How Spoil* Were Divided.
From then until 1520, it was nip
and tuck between the Spanish and
the/ Portuguese as to who could rob
the natives the more efficiently. The
contest ended In a draw and u treaty
gave rights of rohbery in the Indies
to the Portuguese and similar rights
In the Philippines to the Spanish.
The Spanish got the best of the bar
gain, because they were not disturbed
until 18H8, while the poor Portuguese
were kicked out of their territory hy
th? Dutch in 159(1, before they had
half time to skin the natives.
Then the I?utch took oyer the no
ble work and drew up trading treaties
for presentation to the natives. To
all questions raised by the pony of
the second pnrt one reply was used?
"sign here."- When the natives
showed a reluctance the blunderbuss
or long sword made tlie fairness of
the treaty |?erfectly clear, as was cus
tomary among the conquerors of those
early days. ?. . ?
Dutch Rule Now Kindly.
From then until 189.} Holland nnd
Kngland fought like country cou
sins over possession of the Islands,
and they tlnaliy whacked up and called
quits. Kngland took parts of Africa,
all of Ceylon and spots along the
Chlnn coast, bnt left the Indies to
Holland, after taking a slice off Bor
neo nnd an end off New Guinea.
So we find the Dutch In possession
of Java and through their courtesy we
visit the Island. Here wo are in Ita
tavla, a comnuinlty of many peoples
enjoying peace and prosperity under
the kindly Dutch rule.
