Lincoln's Birthday. . Lincoln's life is an appeal to patriotism. The anniversary of his birthday recalls both the critical times of the-60's and the serious problems before the nation today. Americans might today ponder Lincoln's address at the dedication of Gettysburg-cemetery: "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that'all men are created equal. - "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We are met to .dedicate a portion of it as the final resting-place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. "But in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we Cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work that they thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be. here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from

these honored dead we take increased devotion to

the cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion ; that we here highly resolve that the dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

Wooden Shoes and the Army. Wooden shoes have been worn by the peasants of Germany for many years. Germany is conserving her leather these days for army purposes. To offset an increase of price in footwear, a concern near Dresden is turning out wooden shoes, but they are not of the cumbersome and ponderous type. Through a new process, elasticity is given the wood. A press dispatch describes these shoes thus: There is no longer any danger though that the German nation, or at least a large part of it, will have to go barefooted. A factory at Hellerau near Dresden, is now producing thousands of pairs of good, serviceable shoes without leather. These "leatherless" shoes may be used extensively after the war, as they are not only light and warm, but also very cheap and easy to repair. The uppers consist of waterproof black canvas of the kind that is used for the knapsacks of the soldiers. The soles are made of thin panels of wood,

glued crosswise. - Ten of these panels have a

thickness of a quarter of an inch. ;

The wooden soles are as elastic aj the best

leather and they stand the hardest kind of wear.

Against water they are immune, as the glue used to fasten the thin panels together is not affected

by temperature or moisture.

The heels are made of the same material or

of solid wood, with a patch of rubber to make

them less slippery.

The "war shoes," as they have been called by the public, are sold in all kinds of styles at prices

ranging from $1.50 to $2.00.

All black-tread Tires are NOT made

of "BAREFOOT" Rubber

, ft ; P 1 f lis. I V& u lill'l I

THIS is to tell the People, that Goodrich "BAREFOOT-RUBBER'; Value lies not in its COLOR but in its composition. It lies in the especially devised Texture, Flexibility, Cling-quality, Stretch, Lightness and Resilience of that "Barefoot Rubber" which, through years of Research, WE developed to match the marvellous Flexibility, Resilience and Power-conservation of our two4ayer-Cord "Silvertown" Tires. Color alone would have been little help in making "Silvertown" Treads stand-up in the tremendous ENDURANCE Tests which the 100-Mile-per-hour-Races of 1915 provided. And Color alone, Black, White, Red, or Gray can do little for the Consumer who buys a "Me-too" Black-Tread Tire, of imitated make, on the assumption that all Black' Tread Tires are likely to be made of same materials.

HE marvellous "Barefoot Rubber" now used

in Goodrich FABRIC Tires (as well as in Goodrich "Silver-towns") is black only because we

elected that color, primarily for distinction and association

with our SILVERTOWN COKD Tires. When, therefore, the usual crop of "flattering" Imitations sprouts upon the Market DON'T assume that OTHER Black-Tread Tires have in them the "BAREFOOT-RUBBER" which made the enormous ENDURANCE of Silvertown Cord Tires possible in .the 90 to 103 Mile-per-hour Races of 1914-15. No Tires on the Market, Size for Size, and Type for Type, are LARGER than Goodrich, and none more generously good, at any price. " Barefoot Rubber " is now made into Goodrich FABRIC Tires, Goodrich "Silvertown Tires," Goodrich Inner Tubes, Goodrich Truck Tires, Goodrich Motor Cycle Tires, Goodrich Bicycle Tires, and Goodrich Rubber Boots, Overshoes, Soles and Heels. Get a sliver of it from your nearest Goodrich Dealer or Branch. Note (by comparison), the reasonably-low Fair-List prices at which these best-possible Fabric Tires are being sold, on a BUSINESS basis.
