A New Record:
One day last week the residents of
Akron. Ohio, were startled by hearing the
whistles Of the Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der Company blowing shrilly. It was
thought that this sound was to serve
warning Of a huge fire. People left their
homes and rushed toward the factory.
But when they arrived they found that
the blowing of the whistles was to an
nounce that the tire-making records of
the factory had again been broken. On
this day the number of tires turned out
Dy the factory was far In excess of any
number ever turned out on any other
day. The record established was 500

Turn to the Left.

There are no vexatious regulations to
hamper one in touring the island; the
main thing is to remember that in ia
maica the rule of the road is to turn to
the left, and this is at first difficult to do
when as with us in the United States to
turn to the right is second nature. The
routes are we'll marked by fingerposts
and the public works department issues
an official Itinerary of the Main Roads, "
which is lucid. definite and satisfactory.
Throughout the island there is shown on
the part of the people a disposition to
promote the visitors convenience. Road
side courtesy is the rule. The dark ia
maican English spoken by the negro may
not always be Ineligible. but there Is
never any question of his genuine desire
to please.
Among favorite tours is the trip from
Kingston to Port Antonio. One route is
via the Castleton Gardens, where a stop
may be made to study the wonderful col
lection of plants and trees which have
been gathered here from all the tropical
regions of the earth. The ascent of the
mountains to an elevation Of $500 feet,
the grade nowhere exceeding per cent.
