The most surprising feature of the ROAD

that is sweeping over the United States
is the part that is being taken in it by
the big railroads of the United states,

What It Means

This double-thick tread, in addition
to all else, reduces danger of puncture
by 80 per cent.
These deep-cut blocks, with their
countless edges and angles, give more
resistance to skidding than any other
device that is known.
Their wide bases prevent breaking
of, and they distribute the strain over
as large a surface as the smooth-tread
tire This is immensely important.
The grooves don't fill up. The air
rushing through them keeps the tire
cool.
One glance will show you that no
other non-skid device in existence can
compare with this Goodyear creation.

YALE COLLEGE SAVED;
 "MORY'S" WILL STAY
Famous Temple Bar" Purchased by Yale Grad to Sustain
 Traditions

New Haven, June 16-The purchaser of 'Mory's Temple bar" property at the corner of Temple and Center streets it was made known today is Mansfield Ferry of New York, mem Der of the Yale class of 1903, and with this announcement it was stated that MT. Ferry's object in buying the prop erty is to perpetuate "MOryS" which has been so closely linked to Yale life for more than a quarter Of a century. It was previously reported that Mrs. John Mansfield of this city was the purchaser of the property but this it not correct. Mrs. Mansfield is the grandmother of MT. Ferry and through some confusion her name was con- nected with the sale of the property. Mr Ferry it was stated today is act ing with number of other Yale grad servation of "Mory's' old place. When Louis Hinder, the present proprietor of the place announced that he was going to give up the place next fall there was much regret expressed by Yale men not orly those of the un- dergraduate body but by men who have gone out from Yale for many years past The feeling became so strong for the continuation of the famous resort for Yale men that the movement was started to buy the property.
 Now that Yale man comes into the ownership of the property it is probable that Louis Linder will con- tinue in the management Of the place.
 When asked today about the situa> tion, MT. Linder said that since the announcement was made by him some months ago that he was to retire from the management of "Mory's' next fall that he has reconsidered and will stay provided, he says, that he can make satisfactory arrangements with the new owners of the property.
