Seldom Need VulCaniZing

On most automobile tires you have
to hunt up the vulcanizer every now
and then under penalty of mud-bolls,
which soon become "tumors and
finally break and leave the tread OF
your tire hanging in flaps.
This trouble, and expense is cut
down to next to nothing where you
use Goodyear Auto Tires. because the
breaker-strips used in the tread or
, wearing surface of the Goodyear Tires
are rivet fabric (patented) SO woven
that it looks like a checkerboard. The
black squares are holes. In vulcaniz-
ing, the rubber from each side goes
through and rivets the fabric and rub
Der into an inseparable whole with
rivets almost 4inch square.
You can't separate fabric and rub
Der thus riveted together. and mud
boils can never form-separation of
the tread is impossible. If you have
suffered from mud-boils this one pat
ented feature OF the Goodyear Auto
Tire will mean much to you.
There are dozens of other features
which should mean even more to the
man who would overcome all tire trou-
bles. They are all grouped together in
our helpful book, How to Select An
Auto Tire. Every motorist should
have it. It's free

Bethlehem Not Apprehensive.

BETHLEHEM. Pa, February 2O.-The
announcement that the United States
Steel Corporation had abandoned it's
stand for uniformity of prices in iron and
steel and that hereafter the market will
be open for competition does not seem to
worry the officials of the Bethlehem Steel
Company. President c. M. Schwab is in
Europe. probably in Spain, looking up a
naval contract, and former President
Arch Johnston has sailed to join Mr.
Sohwab. A local official said today that
he does not fear a price-cuttng war, as
the Independent concerns can compete
with the steel corporation, as the former
have been maintaining practically the
same rates.
Besides, the steel corporation, said the
official, cannot compete with most of the
independent concerns whose plants are SO
located as TO greatly reduce the cost of
the manufacture of steel product of any
note.

Say It Is a Good Thing.

On the other hand, independents. and
even retail merchants. contend that the
open market and cutting of prices are
the best things that ever happened N
many months, as they will now be in a
position to buy their pig metal at a
much lower figure, and other costs will
decrease correspondingly.
Pittsburg steel men assert that they
do not expect any startling develop
ments until the middle or latter part Of
next week, as no company will make
further reductions or make any other
important move until after executives
have had time to thoroughly discuss
their plans.
Wages of many thousands Of steel
workers in the Pittsburg district and
other manufacturing centers will depend
entirely upon the action to be taken by
manufacturers. With the recent reduc-
lions in prices there is said to be SO lit
tie difference between the cost of pro-
duction and the selling price that the
employees will be compelled to reduce
wages

Executives in Conference.

There were numerous secret confer
ences of executive officials today of the
different independent companies with a
view of outlining some plan of action to
get their share of the business under the
prce-cutung scheme
1t is believed by some that the steel
ducers will continue the .gentlemens
agreement in a general way and will
meet any reduction in price that may
be made by the smaller concerns BY
this arrangement. it is said, small pro-
ducers will be forced to abandon their
plan of shading prices. One report has
it that as soon as the small independ-
ents are whipped into line prices will be
advanced gradually until the old sched-
ules nave been reached.

Special Dispatch to TIE Star.
PITTSBURG, Pa. February 20-No de-
velopment in the steel industry in recent
years has caused so much comment as did
the action taken in New York Friday.
when the United States steel corporation
and some of the larger independent pro-
ducers declared an open market. After
reading the statement issued by Judge
Gary. chairman OF the board of steel
corporation, executive officers Of some the
Pittsburg steel companies asserted to-
day that the move would stimulate buy
ing and would materially help business
in general.
Others believe that an open marke,
means a long, bitter war among the
leading steel producers of the country
while others who have kept in close
touch with the situation all through the
depression are <of the opinion that the
declaring of an open market and threat
ened war over prices are part of a
scheme outlined by the steel men to pro-
tect their interests and to frighten those
who have charge of the proposed tariff

Mrs. Iatt adheres rigdly to everything ordained by her church. There will be little social gayety at the White House during Lent while the Tafts are in possession and Mrs Taft has steadfastly held out against the fad for Sunday entertainments which has grown rapidly in recent years in our cosmo- potan capital.
 Miss Helen Taft like Miss Ethel Roosevelt, has followed in the footsteps of her mother in relig- ious incnations
 St Johns church, where Mrs Taft and her daughter will worship, is built in the form of a Latin cross with portico supported by massive columns. The exterior has a pebble finish and portions of the church well-nigh covered with ivy. The original building was erected in 1916, and there are few churches in this country that convey such impression of great age. This church is little than a square from the White House, and the presidents church is also within easy walking distance.
 The vicepresident and Mrs. Sherman are members of the Church of the Covenant, of the Presbyterian denomination. This ediice which is unique and imposing architecturally, is located on Connecticut avenue, one of the fashionable boule- wards of the capital Directly opposite is the resi- dence of Senator Depew and diagonally across the street the British and Austro-Hung garian embassies. Benjamin Harrison worshiped in the Church of the Covenant during his term of office as president and James G. Blaine and the late Secretary Hay pewholders. Miss Helen Hay was married in this church. and 1t has been the scene of m &y notable services.

 The church, which is large one with commo- dious gallery, can seat upward of 1000 persons. When President Roosevelt came to Washington and which had previously worshiped in a small chapel had to build a large ediice because of the responsibilities entailed upon a presidential church. and the edifce, although it seats close to 800 people, has seldom been large enough to accommodate the throngs of tourists who con slider attendance at the presidents church one of the features of visit to Washington The presidents pastor is the Rev Ulysses Grant Baker Pierce.

He has had pasorates in Iowa, California and Ithaca, N Y., and came to his present charge in 1891, in which year also he married Florence, the daughter of Capt Lons- bury of Michigan The Rev. MT.

instinctively the interest manifested in the church homes of the leaders of a new administration is second only to the interest in the personalities Of the new leaders themselves.
 There are number of churches at the national capital that have at time or another enjoyed the distinction of being the Presidents Church" but with the inauguration of President Taft this honor will descend an edifce that has never heretofore attained such prominence.

 William H. Taft has been pewholder at All Souls-the only Unitarian church at the capital ever since taking up his residence at Washington. It may be remembered that during the campaign it asserted that MT. Taft was an atheist, but the charge was, of course, totally unfounded The pres dent-eect is of Unitarian family, his father and mother both being Unitarans his grandmother hay ing joined the Unitarian movement with the famous Dr. Charming William H.

The sediment OF the sewage which
gathers IN the settling tanks Is put

distilled together and mixed with some
cheap chemicals in q patent retort.
