These Durable Soles Cut Shoe Bills Down "For use around cement plants and similar places where (ough materials grind down soles quic ly', I rc mend Nealin Soles. They resist car sur prisingly. After w ki 'round the clinker department ong enough to wear out two pairs of or inary soles, my Neolin Soles are still as good as new," writes A. F. Miller,/superinte - ent of The Peninsular Port land Ce nt Company plant in Jack n, Mi igan. It is remarkable how fough d dur able Neolin Soles are. /l'h are made so by Science-comfor a and water proof, too. They co on new shoes in many styles for men, wvomen, and children, and are available everywhere for re-soling. Wear them, and cut your shoe bills down. Neolin Soles are made by The Good year Tirc & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot HeIels, guar anteed to outwear all other heels. VICTOR OVER CHINESE DRAGON American-Made Motortrucka Are 4lin ning Way to Popularity in Land of Conservatism. Way back before the year 1 they used to build high stone walls around the cities in China to keep out the ex ponents of civilization. Today they are tearing down these walls, breaking them iup into fine pleces, and using them to build highways that will en able their now progressive govern ment to make the best use of the American-magle motortrucks which China is beginning to utilize. This is, perhaps, as striking a com ment on the economic and 1)oliticll changes that are taking place within this interesting country as has come out of China in a long time. The crell it for such progressive policies is given in the main to Dr. George E1. Morris, famous ex)lorer and political adviser to the Chinese republic, an exchange states. Doctor Morris luas succeeded in substituting a lot of new American ideas for the superstitions and conser vatisi of the one-time "heathen Chi nee." And now it is the motortruck that has gained his ch)ampionisi1). A conlsiderable number of trucks are now in use in China, and they are do ing everything required of them with remarkable eiliciency, in spite of the difliculty of securing skilled drivers and competent mechanics in that part of the world. GRATEFUL FOR COLD WATER Thirsty Fighters Went on Their Way Blessing the Thoughtfulness of That Red Cross Worker. There was plenty of water in X, but a tin mug of it was more deadly than a German machine gun. It's impossi ble to push two or three hundred thou sand soldiers back and forth over a locality, especially when half of them are Germans and there isn't time * to clean up after they have been de feated, and keel) the water sippy un affected. And when, as is the case often, the water wasn't very pure to begin with, It's not at all wise to dally with the idea of drinking it. But what can you do when you've been out all day fighting and pursuing Germalns and your canteen's empty and the roof of your mouth feels like a vulcanized scrubbing board? That's the thought that came to a ied Cross field service man during the hottest fighting in August. It was hot in two senses. The bullets flew and the sun melted. And the ited Cross man took out his largest mar mite and filled it with water that was cool and purified. lie kept it full all day and every soldier that passed that way had a drink of water. It was water they wanted just then. A little initiative oil the part of one mnan made the soldiers as he himself put it "ab surdly grateful." But after struggling across fields and ronds all day in the hot sun, well--vell hlen do become ib surdly grateful for a drink of cool water.-From a lied Cross Scrapbook. Smashing All Records. The knell of suclk inusicln German propaganda 1as "Die Wnieht amn1 lIthelin" and "Deutschland Uber Alles" was sounded the other day when Ilore than 1,500 phonograph records eibracing these ainl similar airs were destroyed bly aI conlminit tee of' wome'n act inig un3 der tile auspices of thle National Phono graph Rlecords IIl'lr uig corps.
