iniit performance is even more remarkable when you consider the
terrific speeds at which the cars traveled over this fifteen-year-old,
rough brick track.
Experienced race drivers will not risk their lives or chances
of victory on any oilier tires. And Ut the commercial field, large
truck, motorbus and taxicah fleet operators, who keep careful cost
records arc among tiie big users of Firestone (ium-Dipped Tires.
The City Transportation Co., of Tacoma, Wash., writes "One
of our 12 buses on Firestone Cum-Dipped Tire* has gone over
40,600 miles and still looks good for many miles of extra service
For all around tire safety and mileage, Firestone cannot be beat."
From Calumet Motor Coach Co., Hammond, Ind., the following:
"We operate 40 buses all equipped with Gum-Dipped Tires. The
very low cost per mile on which these tires operate is considerably
less than that of any other make." ilaycs Bus Lines, Columbia. S. C.,
say: "We operate 10 buses equipped wjth Firestone Gum-Dipped
Tires. A number of these tires have run over 45,000 miles without
ever having been removed from the rim."
The largest taxlcab companies In the world standardize on Firestone
Gum-Dipped Tires. W. R. Rothwell, taxicab operator, Detroit^ Mich.,
writes: "Two of my Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires have run 76,000
miles."
Hundreds of thousands of car owners voluntarily testify to the
safety, comfort and economy of Full-Size Gum Dipped Balloons.
W. H. Peacock, Birmingham, Ala., testifies: "I have had Firestone
Balloons for thirteen months and they have delivered in that lime
24,469 miles." H. C. Staehle, Minneapolis, Minn.,says: "My Firestone
Balloons have gone 49,900 miles and arc still in good
condition."
These records of endurance, speed, safety and mileage could only
have been made because of Firestone development of the GumDipping
process which insulates and saturates every fiber of every
cord with rubber, reducing friction and heat and building greater
strength and endurance in the cords?assuring you at all times?

Living beyond your means in order
to keep up with the pretensions of
some neighbor or acquaintance is a
dangerous experiment, with but one
end to the road and that is disaster.
How often the interesting study presents

the end is attained, if ever, just what

L)R. (,KO, W. McDANIEL
President Southern Ilaptist Convention.
Following the re-election of Dr.
George W. McDaniul, Richmond, Vn.,
as president, he sounded in his inaugural
address a conviction on the
theory of evolution that was promptly
and unanimously adopted by the
Convention as its own sentiment.
Dr. McDaniel said:
"I am happy to believe that this
Convention accepts Genesis as teaching
that man was the special creation
of God and rejects every theory,
evolution or other, which teaches
thet man originated in, or,came by
way of, n lower animal ancestry."
With the evolution question disposed
of, the Convention was able
to proceed with a consideration of
its great missionary ard benevolent
enterprises.
Here are some of the outstanding
<ir\olopments of the Convention:
GOAI. OF $9,000,000 SET UP
1. In the hope of enabling the
mission boards and other agencies
of ihe Convention to take care of
their indebtedness gradually without
having to too, greatly curtail their
present work, an objective of $9,000,000
f-or missions, education and benevolences
was set "up for 1927. on
recommendation of the Co-operative
Program Commission. This money
will be applied to foreign, home and
state missions, Baptist schools,
orphanages und hospitals and ministerial
relief, thus taking care of
both the state ami S?vuthwirie Baptist
work. It" is hoped- the Southwide
portion of the budget, will
amount to at least $4,000,009.
2. An effort will be made to enlist
500 000 ? tithcrs during the next
year.
3. The Foreign Mission B ard
reported 13,209 baptisms on its f old.-:
during the year, a gain of about
1,000 over the previous year-. The
board has 1,215 churches on the foreign
fields \v;lli 110,483 members.
3,247 out-stations where preunhing
services are held from time to time,
and 52S missionaries and 2,044 native
Christian workers employed in
17 countries,
4. Among the results for the yeai
reported by the Home Mission Board
were 833 missionaries employed,
19,744 baptisms, 35,220 additions to
the churches, 100 new churches and
458 Sunday schools organize di and
402 church houses built or improved.
DENOMINATION GREW DURING

5. The Sunday Scnool Board reported

year of $1,710,471. Of this amount
