Liquid rubber penetrates every cord and Ocoats every fiber, guarding against infernal friction and heat, greatly increasing the strength of the cord body, and giving longer tire life. TWO EXTRA GUM-DIPPED CORD PLIES UNDER THE TREAD * This if a patented construction, and the two extra Gum-Dipped cord plies are so placed that you get 56% stronger bond between tread and cord body, and tests show 26% greater protection against punctures and blowouts. It sets a new standard for tire performance oa^ high speed cars, _ s NON-SKID TREAD Tough, live rubber specially compounded for long, slow wear. Scientifically designed non-skid gives greater traction and safe, quiet performance. COMPARE CONSTRUCTION * QUALITY * PRICE j IFIMITWI IFHUITOHiI Th? FIIISTONC FIRESTONE ?4l# OUM OldfWd SU?

CITY FILUNG STATION C. E. DAVIS FILUNG STATION SHELL PRODUCTS i IU -t-L n-r-m. ? The Great Bear Bogy " * " * (By Walter A. Dyer in "Our Dumb Animals"} \ 1 am convinced that the bear's reputation for ferocity is largely the result of folk lore. Many are the stories that have come down to us of bears that have carried off children, and it was not so very long ago that ill-advised parents and nurses sought to^frighten children into obedience by |warning them that a bear would get them if they weren't good. It was always a bear. How often have bears and ghosts peopled the mysterious dark for such terrified little ones. In ^Shakespeare's time the bear was the symbol for an unknown object of fear. "How easy," said he, "is a bush supposed a bear." Of course, there is Biblical authority for this tradition. When irascible Klisha was annoyed by tho children who mocked him and called him "bald head," he turned and cursed them, and two she-bears came out of the wood and slew forty-two of them. A nice bedtime story for little Hebrew boys and girls. 1 believe it is quite true that the big, shaggy brown bear of Europe is, or once was, a dangerous animal, and most of tho folk-lore stories came from Europe. <For his Crimea the gentler North American bear has unjustly suffered. Traditionally it has been considered a virtuo to kill a bear?a mark of special courage and prowess. There may have been some excuse for it in the early days when bears were more numerous and took toll of tho pioneer's scanty docks and herds, but today bear killing is done for glory by so-called sportsmen, or for profit by fur traders. Consequently the bear population of North America has been decreasing at an alarming rate, and in spite of protective laws there is yet danger that the bear may go the way of the elk and the bison. I must confess that my personal acquaintance with bears has been,, limited. . I have watched them inv zoos, and much as I disapprove of zoos, I must admit that the bears seemed far less unhappy in captivity than animals of the cat tribe. Their sense of humor, their playfulness and their curiosity concerning the ludicrous creatures outside the bars seem to help, them to support the boredom of their environment. I am happy to say that the dancing bear seems to have disappeared from our -Americah streets and that this exhibition of man's degradation and a beast's humiliation has apparently not paid. I can remember the sight in my boyhood?an Italian with a long stick and a foreign-looking costume; a huge brown bear held by a chain attached to a ring in his nose, standing on his hind legs and performing unnatural antics at the command of his master; the hat passed around for pennies. Let's have no more of that! Not being, like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord, I have nev&'gone bear hunting, and I think the only time I ever saw a wild bear was quite by accident. Several years ago my wife and- I were spending the night in a shelter of balsam boughs on the top of Blue Mountain in the Adirondack?. At some time in the night she woke me up. / What's that?" I looked sleepily out over the little clearing at the summit of the mountain. Our/ire had died down but the landscape was flooded with moonlight. I saw something moving and rubbed my eyes open just in time to see a young bear shambling off into the brush. I got a great thrill out of that, and it was not a thrill of fear. I only wish I might have seen the mother, too, before she departed, for I have no doubt she paid us a call. I think I may truly say that wild l>ears are just about as dangerous as that. Apart from the white polar bear of ?Vw- Arctic regions, there are three! native .-pecies of bears on the North! American continent ? th% black bear, trie grizzly. and !!.? Ata>ka brown] bear. 'Die black bear, known in ,-ome .-ettior.s as the cinnamon bear, has J c\er been found, \y,;h slight variation-. in ail parts of the I'nited .-dates, it was a black bear mat ij saw Blue Mountain, and it is the half-time black bear thai is familiar to many visitors in our National pTfrks, where happily the breed is protected. The black bear is by nature shy and inoffensive. I fancy he is more common than, we think, for he has learned from bitter experience to keep out of the way of men. I have sometimes wondered how often, in a blueberry pasture, wo may be watched unawares by the bright eyes of a black bear. The grizzly is the big bear of the Rocky Mountains, concerning whose ferocity we have our own American folk-lore. Perhaps the grizzly was once more savage and aggressive than today, but a soqt of evolution has taken care of that. Man killers have been hunted down and slain, and the survivors have been those who preferred to seek safety in flight Shriners Enjoy Outing By Lake Shriners from Columbia and Camden assembled yesterday afternoon for an outing on Arthur Wellwood's beautiful ?state on the Richland shore of I-4?ke Murray. More than 100 from the two cities and their honor guest, Mayor L. B. Owens of Columlbia, were present to enjoy the get-to-gether and the hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. "JVellwood. They met at the Well wood's lodge on the point a mile above Saluda dam and took jwrt in the various amusements ottered. Earle Wilson put his houseboat at the disposal of the guests and took ten to fifteen at a tin\e on cruises across the ljjke and ulongside the Saluda (Jam. While the houseboat wa^ kept busy, William Perry ("Bill") 'Smith took small groups for spins around the nation's largest artificial lake1 in . Mr. Wellwood's and Sewell Oliver's speedboat. The water was smooth early in | the afternoon, hut the wind of a j browing storm made the lake surface choppy and drenched the riders with spray as they graveled at a 30mile an hour clip. Some of the Shriners went in swimming and" others enjoyed a pistolfiring contest conducted by William M. Perry. A floating barrel 200 yards from shore was the target, but despite the numerous close shots, it was still unharmed when it faded in the darkness. Mr. Well wood, president of the Columbia Shriners, conducted a short business meeting. After a concert by the Columbia Shrine band, the Shriners and their guests were served'a sumptuous supper on the picnic tables out of doors. Shortly after the meal a shower came up and the picnickers returned to their homes.?Wednesday's State. The announcement this week of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., urging both political parties to stand for repeal "of the 18th amendment, was greeted with joy by the- "wets" and with disapproval by the "dry a." Of course, no one in his senses would deliberately annoy a wild grizzly, and a wounded one is a bad actor. A mother grizzly, too, may be expected to protect her ebbs very effectively. The prophet Hosea noted the ferocity of a bear bereaved of her whelps. But I believe that a wild grizzly in the Rocky Mountains is far safer than an automobile on the highway. "A grizzly," said Theodore 'Roosevelt in one of his books, "will fight only if wounded or cornered, or at least, if he thinks himself cornered." The Alaska grizzly, a 1200<pound gia^jt, is closely akin to the Rocky Mountain variety. His neighbor is the Alaska brown bear, of which there are at least four or five varieties. The largest of these is the Kadiak bear, whose hide may measure as much as ten feet in length. To the naturalist and the photographer, these are the most interesting wild animals on the continent, and those who have closely observed them report that they are relatively harmless. The AlaSka bears, however, have their enemies and their traducers, and thousands of them have been killed by fur hunters and sheep raisers. Today they are threatened with extermination. Protective game laws have been difficult to enforce in Alaska at best, and in 1930 those laws werCzU^o liberalized, at the behest of cattlemen and other special interests, that protection is now virtually non-existent. In order to save the bears of Alaska from total extinction, a movement is now on foot sponsored by the American Society of Mammalogists, the New York Zoological Society, and other conservationists, to secure more adequate ^ame laws and also to set n vidn CYi w?Vi ^ ctf\f A #1i t*o 1 y Jolands as permanent wild-life sanctuaries or national p^rks. This movement, if successful, will also save maav square miles of virgin forests from the wood-pulp industry. Admiralts Island. <?tT southeastern Alaska, is about ninety miles long and from twenty to forty miles wide. Chicagof is somewhat smaller. There is little or no cattle raising on these islands because the grazing is poor, but they furnish an ideal home for bears. It is estimated that there are now 5,000 brown and grizzly bears living on these two islands, or half the entire bear population of Alaska. Now is the time to save these bears and their forest homes before the Government allows the pulp mills to be built. If you want to help, drop a line to Mr. John M. . Holzworth, American Society of Mammalogists, 120 Broadway, New York, and ask for full information. The bear is by all odds the noblest wild animAl extant on this continent, and I for one wish I knew him better, He possesses courage, dignity and humor. He harms fewer peorple annually than the deer hunter does. Why kill him? The Alabama supreme couri will soon issue formal stays of execution in the cases of (the seven negroes under sentence of death foi; (attacking two white girls near Scottsboro, Ala., and due to die June 24fth, until the United States can give a decision in the case some time in October. The Florida vote at the national Democratic convention will go to Frankflin D. Roosevelt, as returns from Tuesday's preferential primary make it certain that the New Yorker is far in the lead of Murray of Oklahoma. .
