Long Record for Goodyear Tires
Without a Change.

Five thousand miles Of 2 transcontinental
run without any tire trouble is the record
set by pair of Goodyear tires on the Ohio
pathfinder. This car made the trip from
New York to san Francisco, covering more
than five Thousand miles Of all sorts and
descriptions of roads. including some of the
worst in the entire country.
The two Goodyear tires on the front
wheels went through the strenuous run
without trouble. Despite the severe test,
they were in excellent condition when the
run ended.
Changes were made in the tires on the
rear wheels, but only because they were
cut up by the chains used on them. There
was no trouble other than that mentioned
on the rear tires.

It is now the consensus of opinion

the state to aid the counties. certainly

Why He Lett.

The following amusing incident
showing the result of absence of mind
when writing letters is quoted by a
Birmingham paper
The culprit, Jinks, received one day
two letters by first post. One was from
his friend Jack Smith asking him to
play in a football match: the other
was an invitation from his employer,
whose name was also Smith, to spend.
the day at his home
Now Jinks had long admired from
afar his employers only daughter, ana
this invitation was most acceptable to
him. He promptly sat down and wrote
a brief note Of acceptance on an elab-
crate sheet Of note paper, while to his
other friend he sent a scrawl across
an odd half-sheet.
The next morning Jinks was sur
prised to see Jack Smith burst into his
room exclaiming, why. aren't you
ready?"
Ready? I wrote you l couldn't play"
"Nonsensei You wrote me a courteous
note accepting my invitation. I took
your excessive politeness as a joke"

DON'T SELL THIS PROPERTY.

~ HE proposal Of City Council TO sell the Rod
l. ney Street Reservoir property quite natu-
rally does not meet public approval The city
should not at this time or at any other time, un-
less these is great reason for so doing, dispose OF
any of its holdings. Particularly does this apply
to the Rodney street property which is located in
one of the best parts of the city and which will
increase in value
There are so many uses to which this property
could be put in the future that it seems very fool
ish to entertain any notion of selling it. 1t may
be said that the city needs the money, but the
sale Of the lot would be if private corporation
should sell some of its valuable machinery and
thereby reduce its assets. The city should con-
serve its good assets-not get rid of them.
No doubt City Council is cramped and pinched
for money. The huge deficit is unpleasant 70 say
the least and it forces upon City Council realiza
tion Of the extent of one Of its blunders-that Of
purchasing at high figure property in the west
ern part of the city for alleged playground pur-
poses.
No one would be deceived as to the real condi-
ton Of the city finances If the Rodney street pro-
perty should be sold and the money applied TO
paving municipal bills. II would be far better for
the city to hold the property even if it we're to
remain out of use for an indefinite period. II is
not likely that IL the city should sell IT, a reason
able price would be obtained, for the city does
-netfseem to be very good in transacting matters
of strict business
Probably the only reason contemplated for the
sale is, as we have said, that the city needs the
money but the peculiarly cramped condition Of
the city finances should bring home
forc5ly the fact that our machinery of city gov
eminent is woefuy out of gear The great need
of Wilmington is to get down TO a business basis.
If the Rodney street property is sold, the Demo-
cratic City Council will have one more political sin
to answer ior and the Councilmen will not have
the excuse that they did not have ample warning
against taking what would undoubtedly prove to
be false step.
