ON TUBE QUALITY, SAYS AUTHORITY "What the heart is to the body, the tube it to the tire. is one way of ex pressing the importance of inner tubes from the standpoint of tire mile age, judging from the stress placed upon tube quality by one of Akron s leading tire men. Just as the useful ness of the body ends -with the stopping of the heart, so the tire becomes useless when the tube ceases to function properly. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the motorist should be much more concerned with the tube's ability to hold air than with its tensile strength. A tube may be strong enough to pull a train ot cars and yet be full of invisible defects that permit continuous leaking of air. The latter will in the end work havoc with the best of casings. ' The car owner can't be too careful in his selection of inner tubes," declares P. C. Millhoff, general sales manager of The Miller Rubber ; Co., of Akron. "Its the heart that keeps the body going and its the tube that keeps the casing up." A man certainly wouldn't select a weak heart Just be cause it was cheap he would want the best because so much depended on it. When it comes to tires and tubes, he 6hould purchaseN the tube that lasts the longest because such ''tubes serve to prolong the life of the casing. Cannot Contain Air. - "A tube may be of splendid appearance and at the same time permit so much seepage of air by difusion of chemical assimilation that it is absolutely impracticable as an air container for the inside of the casing. "Rubber is full of tiny pin-holes, which the finest calendaring in the world will not entirely eliminate. Those little holes are what cause air seepage by diffusion. Rubber chemically assimlates a certain amount of air on one side and passes it off on thA nthpr psnpr-iallv xrhen under pressure. One of the chief problem? in tube maunfacturing, therefore is I not only to reduce the possibility of air seepage, but also to construct a tube that will stretch easily with the constant distortion of the tire without an excessive amount of heat. "At the Miller, in order to overcome air seepage, we build our tubes with layer on layer of pure rubber. If a tube is of but one thickness and rolled out at one time, there is almost certain leaking of air which results In poor service and tire trouble. Notwithstanding that we build thousands of tubes daily, the same degree of care is manifested In their construction that we put in our casings. Each tube must be proved air tight by actual inflation. It has to hold a certain pressure of air for many hours and before the final O. K. goes on it it must grade to uniform strength. GREENVILLE, 0 HAS BIG FIRE LOSS GREENVILLE, O.. May 31. The loss by fire of the Palace department store Wednesday morning will amount to at least $75)00. The building, a three-story brick, was owned by W. J. Irwin, and waa covered by insurance. The entire stock of the store was damaged .by smoke and water, the flames being confined to the office and grocery. Mr. Minnich's loss will be in the neighborhood of $60,000, which is fully Insured. The origin of the fire is unknown, however, it is thought to have been due to defective electric wiring. Small Fire Loss In City Daring Month Of May Ten fires, resulting in the small loss of approximately $267, occurred in Richmond during the month of May, according to the monthly report of Chief Miller, of the fire department. With the exception of the fire last Sunday at the plant of Louck and Hill, none of the fires caused any considerable. damage. The Louck and Hill fire although not fully settled, is estimated to have caused a loss of $250. , A MISTAKE MADE BY MANY Don't wait for rheumatism to indicate diseased kidneys.

W. C. T. U. Notes , I

By W. C T. U. Publicity Agent. Visitors to National W. C. T. U. headquarters and to Rest Cottage the home of Frances E. Willard and now the home of Anna Adams Gordon, president of the National W. C. T. U. during the past few weeks have seen upon the desk in Miss Gordon's of fice a beautiful pen. This pen. was first used by the Honorable Frank Lyon Polk, acting secre tary of state, on that historic day, January 29, 1919, in signing the pro clamation ratifying national constitu tional prohibition and was presented; to Miss Gordon, who waa present on that great occasion. Soon afterwards, Miss Gordon an nounced that any individual contributing $1,000 cash or more, toward the million dollar Jubilee fund, would receive a note of thanks signed with the pen, and already the pen has been doing its work. Fifty thousand dollars ol the fund will be used to meet the constantly increasing demands made upon the organization for the special educational propaganda which it issues, the literature now going to all portions ol the globe. The first state to adopt state-wide prohibition Maine was said to have been won because Neal Dow sowed Maine knee-deep with prohibition literature. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union immediately following its or ganization, began to sow temperance propaganda broadcast over the land. Its national official organ, the Union Signal, issued weekly, goes to every state in the union, and to twenty-one countries. A special scientific temperance edition is sent to fifteen hundred libraries and schools. An international monthly edition gives accurate information on temperance work in foreign countries. Miss Anna A. Gordon, editor-in-chief, being honorary secretary of the world's W. C. T. u. The Young Crusader the Children's paper in its .thirty-second volume has actual paid subscriptions in every state in the union, the Canal Zone, Cuba, Hawaii, and the Philip pines, and the West Indies, and into forty countries. Literature published includes not only general temperance material. but material for its forty-one departments covering the care of children m a11 Its phases, health, moral education, race betterment, and Christian citizensmp Seven and one-half million leaflets and posters have been sent out from the National W. C. T. U. Publishing House in response to requests during the past twelve months. The literature building at the rear of the National W. C. T. U headquarters, dedicated in 1911, is now inadequate to meet the demands made upon it. Had the Woman's Christian Temperance Union only one objective, Prohibition In the United States, its work could notyet stop. The liquor people will use every ' insidious, treacherous means in their power to have the law declared unconstitutional and to prevent the creation of adequate machinery for its enforcement. Closing saloons will not immediately take away the appetite for liquor in the drinking man. Wet leaders are quick to grasp this point to create dissatisfaction and cause labor disturbances. Total abstinence must still be taught in the schools ; in the , home and Sunday schools, or later years will see a repeal of the prohibition law. Organized Mother Love will stand on guard. WOMEN WORKERS In almost every line of war activi ties the women of this country have done well and have taken front rank for doing work that released thou sands of men for service overseas Some women have been over-ambi tious, and, at the expense of their health, have filled places once occu pied by men. Every woman who, be cause of overwork, has brought on some ailment peculiar to her sex, should depend upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore her health and strength, as this remedy is now recognized as the standard and has restored multitudes. Adv. Postal Card Given Prompt Attention.

BRISK DEMAND IS FOR GOOD

By WILLIAM FL SANBORN. The industrial outlook, so far as the woolen manufacturers are concerned, is the brightest in years: First, because there is the largest demand for cloth ever experienced and, secondly, because there will be ample supplies of wools, of all classes, both domestic and foreign. Not that wools are to be "cheap." except by comparison, but they will be obtainable as needed. Tour rst impression that this means cheaper clothing and also cheaer woolen fabrics for women's wear. Eventually, yes; but not this year. There is an acute scarcity of best and medium grade woolens for men's wear right now and cutters of these cloths are clamoring for yard age. They have booked an enormous lot of business, particularly for the better grades of clothing, and time is flying. Orders from the interior towns and cities indicate an abundance of money. There is little caviling at prices, which have been constantly hardening. The important thing is the "delivery," as early and in as large quantities as possible. What has been said as to men's fabrics is also true with reference to woolens for women's wear, though possibly the demand is not quite so broad or urgent as is coming from manufacturers of men's apparal. This indicates that our wives and sisters will be taxed as high, and even higher for cloaks and suits, than in 1918. Besides the advances In material the labor troubles in the women's ready to wear industry, recently noted in these columns, have curtailed production and increased the cost. The cutting up trades in all fabric lines are feeling the pinch and that prices are to be lowered seems out of the question. It Is said that good yarns are almost unobtainable and that spinners are not in position to accept more orders for yarns than they have already booked. In the meanwhile all the wheels and looms are humming and every mill is at work to capacity. Clothiers Buy Liberally. Beginning with the manufacturers 1 of clothing who sell their own out put, and the clothing trade jobbers who sell and buy in all markets, all down the line to the smallest cloth ing stores in every nook and corner, all are in the market, or have placed larger orders than in years. No one seems to fear overstocking, because they anticipate the best fall and winter demand in years. This optimistic feeling is nation wide, and is as broadly manifested in the dry goods stores as in clothing

The farm hauling today is done more than ever before by auto truck. Farmers are realizing that the old method of getting milk, produce, grain or livestock to market is not profitable. The truck way is the modern way and is being adopted by the farmers of Wayne and surrounding counties. Call at our salesrooms and let us demonstrate the fitness of the Master for farm needs.

ENCOUNTERED SUPPLY OF WOOL

stores and tailor shops. This is the consensus of opinion as expressed by merchants everywhere. Old things are to become new; our faces are toward the future, which seems alight with hope and prophetic of nation-wide prosperity. But there is no indication of getting back to old or so called "normal prices or wages.". It takes a long time for price adjustment, after any war; or in any country. We had a dozen years of high prices after the close of the Civil War and who will say these were not busy and prosperous years, as compared with those Just preceding the outbreak of hostilities. No More American Panics. High prices are never panic prices; far different indeed. Men do not go into bankruptcy on a rising market which calls for no sacrifice of profits, no "slaughtering" of prices to realize a few dollars. But with reference to panics, we are inclined to the' belief that many of these in our history were "engineered," and once started got away beyond the control of the interests responsible for their inception, and which would have gladly put on the brakes. The regulation of our currency problems, and the institution of the Federal Reserve Bank, have stabilized finances. Neither Wall street nor any other influence can ever cause another Black Friday in this country, nor can world conditions ever violently affect American finances to the degree that we shall again be short of money for all business requirement. The World's Stock of Wools. A final revision of the wool census for Australia and New Zealand shows that on April 1 there were 1,365,346 bales of Australian, and 538,500 bales of New Zealand wools ready for shipment. It is expected that 225,000 bales will be shipped monthly from these countries and at the time of the census there were many thousands of bales afloat. Added to these stocks of old wools and also shortly to be available comes the new clip; estimated at two million bales for Australian and 600,000 for New Zealand. This gives us a total of 4,500,000 bales from these two countries alone, on which to draw as needed. Ninety days ago our own government had in excess of 300,000 millions of pounds to sell us and some of this has not yet been disposed of. Government stocks were a weight on the market for months and checked buying operations, because it was not known at what prices the government would be content to sell; what would be the established as acceptable on the various kinds and grades. The buying THUCKS Light Truck for

activity as to wools Is now centering to the west The New York Journal of Commerce says: "Efforts are now being made to buy in Ohio, and from one. who has a representative in the

district it was said yesterday that fine wools are not to be had there below 66c ' to 70e." A number of Wayne county farmers have sold their clip, in some eases the price paid was 46c delirered in Richmond. The market on West Coast wools opened much earlier than in this section of the country, was active for a time, then i slackened down. Wool buyers are busy out there now and this is further true as to Montana, Wyoming, etc. The bars are also down, on English wools and unrestricted American buy ing is now permitted under license, of all wools not under government control. This will let in the British clip, also the Capes and South, American wools in -London. All of what has been said means that our manufacturers are not to be short of wool, of any grade or charcter. This fact should In due time be reflected in rugs and carpets, the prices on which have climbed so abnormally high be cause of scarcity of raw material. Everybody Wants the ' Best. " One outstanding fact in all fabric lines is this: Eeverybody seems tewant something better that they formerly wore, that is, speaking as to the masses. The demand is for the better grades in cloth and in -the ready-to-wear output. This is a healthy and encouraging sign. It is evidenced that comparatively few feel the "pinch, over this broad domain, outside per- : tmss& NAZIMOVA in "THE RED LANTERN" the FAR

haps of the poorer or congested city districts. Rural and inland America was never In better financial condition than today, even though all do

not alike share in the general prosperity. -What we have said seems to portray ruling and actual conditions In their broadest significance. The period of arranging to do business, of waiting for lower prices and all that sort of thing has passed. There is nothing to wait for; it is a time for action and not for procrastination. As a people we are awakening to this fact and most of us have already climbed into the band wagon. ' BURNS CUTS, BRUISES 8an Cura Ointment Relieves Pain, Draws Out Poison and Heals ' Promptly.
