Mr.. Watrous planned to begin his
overland trip back to his home in De-
troit a fortnight ago. For convenience
in starting. the Hupmobie was loaded
on the steamer Josie" en- route 10
Madisonville, where the homeward trip
was to begin, Five miles off West End
the Josie" sank. A salvage company
took charge of the wo,k of lifting her
and yesterday the Hupmobile was
brought up and saved from the wreck.
Cushions water soaked, windshield
broken, top wrecked and magnetic badly
displayed, few other damages, and, in
the opinion of the owner and automo-
bile machinists who saw the car yester-
day, a two days overhauling will put it
in condition to take up the trail back to
Detroit.
Mr.. Watrous, pending the raising C1
his car from the sunken wreck, was q
guest at the Hotel GruneWald. He de-
parted for Baton Rouge, where he goes
to superintend the repair work neces-
sary to put his car in condition to make
the return home

his wife and two children to the summit
of Mount Washington in the White noun

the owner, sized up his machine when
he saw her on dry land.
From Baton Rouge the car will be
driven by Mr. Watrous to Gulfport,
Mobile and Jacksonville, Fla, where
last years Glidden tour route will be
taken up and followed all the way
through Atlanta to New York. Mr..
Watrous will then drive the car to De-
troit, and return to New York in time
for the big automobile show. which is
to begin there early in January.
Mr.. Wathous' HupmobiIe made the
long trip from Detroit to New Orleans,
coming through with a perfect score. 1t
then made the plunge into Lake Point
chartrain, to come up in condition fit to
enable it to make the return trip. Au-
tomobile men who saw the car declared
that considering the things that had
befallen it since the eventful voyage on
the lake steamer Josie" the car has
proven itself a wonder. and that it is
their belief it will stand almost any
thing.

GOODYEAR HAS
NEW TIRE GAUGE
When Fitted to Rim Device
Shows instantly Size of
Tire Required.

The smplest-most clever-concep-
ton devised in recent years in the field
of motorcycle tiredom is rim gauge,
of which the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
Company, of Akron, Ohio, through S. A.
Falor. of the motorcycle tire depart
ment is supplying the trade on appii-
cation.
With this gauge a dealer can tell in
moment the most suitable sized tire for
any given rim. one simply inserts into
the rim the correct gauge length, notes
the one that fits and reads on the prop
er section of the gauge the exact size TO
be used-for the tire size is printed
boldly on the section fitting the rim.
Just a glance is required.
Here's the point of popularity of this
new device About three years ago
p 1-4-inch motorcycle tire was the
vogue. Then came the increased tire
size to > IL inches-still the same
rim And even ga and 3inch sizes
| were USED, put always on the Sildll Illi'
The result was that the large tires
Ioverlapped and bore over on both sides
of the rim
| Larger tires were, of course, needed
with harder and faster riding. Now
the rims have been standardized-th
odd Style Rim" the "B b Rim" and
the &C c Rim" are the outcome. Thus
was necessary some mode of ascertain
| ing just what tire sizes for just what
rims. Dealers were nonplussed. An
almost endless task was theirs.
Now the new rim gauge has simplir
fled the whole matter and ended all
confusion.
1T is notable that this rim gauge
was thought out in the Goodyear fac
tory" says Mr.. FalOr 1T shows the
Goodyear spirit-and this spirit of will
| lingness extends throughout the entire
organization, The ceaseless activity Of
our men is the best virtual assurance
motorcycle tire users have in obtaining
the utmost out of their tires"

AUTO INDUSTRY HAS
NOTHING TO FEAR IN
REVISION OF TARIFF

George E, Daniels, vice president and
general manager of the Oakland Motor
Car Company, Pontiac. Mich, who is
a student of political affairs, as we'll as
of the automobile business, is not con-
cerned over the effect of any possible
tariff revision legislation by the next
congress upon the automobile industry
in general
Mr.. Daniels, in the face of a probable
reversal of the political domination of
the national government, had planned
early this year to produce nearly twice
as many motor cars for 1913 as his
company manufactured for 1912. Dis
cussing the political change in the ma
tional government, Mr.. Daniels said:
q think the automobile industry has
nothing to fear from the Democratic
administration at Washington. or any
possible tariff revision downward that
is not too radical. | am convinced that
the American manufacturers are 80
strongly intrenched and are so far ad-
vanced in the manufacture of medium
priced automobiles that they have moth
ing to fear from foreign competition
should a revision of the tariff make this
competition any keener than it is at
present. Americans today are by far
the largest producers Of automobiles
in the world. They are daily invading
the foreign markets, particularly with
the moderate and low priced cars
which represent the bulk Of the auto
mobile business of the world

Now Non-Skids

Now we have a double thick
non-skid. An extra tread, made of
very tough rubber, vulcanized on
to the regular.
A tread with deep-cut blocks,
immensely enduring.
A tread with countless edges and
angles, insuring a bulldog grip.
And a tread whose projections
spread out at the base, so the
strain is distributed. The lack of
that feature has made non-skids
short lived.
Just compare it. You can see
that we have the ideal winter tread.
And 200,0 in actual use have
proved it.

This Is How

Statistics show that % per cent
of all clincher tires get rim-cut.
Our patent type saves that % per
cent.
The 10 per cent oversize, under
average conditions, adds Is per
cent to the tire mileage.
These savings are actual. Tens
of thousands have proved them.
And one swift glance will tell you
how they come about.

What They Ended

Note what these tires have ended.
Rim-cutting has been made impossible 8
The oversize has ended overlooking.
And now we end skidding without, at the same
time, giving a short-lived tire.
That's why Goodyears far outsell all others.
That's why last years sales exceeded our previous
IL years put together.

Tribes That Believe in Reincarnation.

Word has been received from Prof.
Baldwin Spencer of the Australian
Anthropological survey that he has
found in the center Of that continent
number Of tribes that believe in
reincarnation. 1t Is further announced
that their notions in that respect tally
with those of the intellectual native
races in India-a belief that has been
carried into western civilization I'M
der the name Of theosophy. In one or
two tribes along the Roper river a
curious totemic system was discov-
cred Among these people man must
marry a woman of particular totem,
but the children take totem different
from that of either of the parents. For
example, man of the Rain totem
must marry a woman Of the Paddy
Melon Kangaroo totem, and their chill
dren are Of the Euro-Kangaroo totem.
Again, Porcupine man marries
Lizard woman, and their children are
Bats. Everywhere, too, among the
tribes visited the women and children
believe that the sound of the bull roar
er is the voice of great spirit who
comes to take away the boys when
they are initiated. Prof. Spencer
says he did not find among any of the
tribes trace of anything like a be-
lief in supreme being.

vouched for him, and the girl hau TO
admit the facts as they have been
recorded above. Therefore. the
father did not follow after and said
he regarded the incident as closed.
and two days later Miss Myrtle was
sent to the country on visit
Mr.. Lincoln didn't regard the Incl
dent that way however. He had been
called bad man and given the collar
by the police. Two days later he be-
gan suit for $4,000 damages, and also
started for the country. He had been
commissioned to design a villa. Who
can doubt that Fate sent him into
that elevator? Again, it is plain
as day that Fate sent him next door
to where Miss Myrtle Mason, visiting
her schoolgirl friend, was paying a
visit. When they met, which they
were bound to do sooner or later,
they did not recognize each other.
There was no screaming on the part
Of the girl, and the personal looks
of the architect did not cause her to
iCSdlu ulll tio Il UdU uldu.
If two young ladies are wandering
around the fields in the country
swinging in manufacturing flow
ers-paddling in brooks and having
a lovely time generally-and if an
architect is looking for the best site
to erect a villa to harmonic with
the surrounding landscape and has
romantic ideas, it isn't much Of a
task for Fate to bring about meet
ing, an introduction and all that. 1t
couldn't be called love at first sight,
because there was the elevator cpl
ysode, but meetings in the gloom
shouldn't be allowed to count.
The architect hung around for a
week longer than he had first planned
for, and during the next four weeks
he made opportunities to run down to
"Ravenswood" every three or four
days, and it was only when he casu-
ally mentioned that he must be in
the city at a certain date to attend
a lawsuit that Miss Myrtle said:
''Why,'I must be there, too"
''My suit is against rich man"
"My father has been sued because
I got stuck in an elevator with
bad man."
81 am that bad mani"
"You can't be. He glared at me.
He muttered. He sassed father. The
police said he was tough one, while
you-you-"
1t took whole year for Mr.. Mason
to make up his mind about it, but he
did at last, and the $4,000 lawsuit
was dropped for a marriage cere-
mony. He saved his money and
gained son-in-law, and has been
heard to brag about it as good
deal.

Press,)
"Old Mason's kid"
Good locker"
Lots of class there"
shes good to marry million"
Such We're some of the observations
as Miss Myrtle Mason descended from
her auto IN front of particular num-
Der on downtown street.
Every one knew Old Mason, as he
was called. He was money-lender
and note-shaver. He owned the
building in which he had his Office,
any every year he swore off a good
share Of his taxes and lost three or
four tenants because he would not
make improvements. Just at this
date one of the two elevators was
dead" 1t had needed repairs for
ten years and had finally stopped in
disgust. The other was about ready
to strike, but was still in use and
bore the sign: "Take This Elevator"
Just a moment previous to the en-
trance Of Miss Myrtle the elevator
had been taken by young man
named Homer Lincoln. He was an
architect just starting out for himself,
and he had business on the third
floor. The elevator was there, all
right, but the elevator boy wasn't.
He. had stepped into the cage and
waited. He heard the rustic of skirts,
caught sight of big white hat and
waving plumes and was then face to
face with what his architectural in
stincts told him was a good-looking
girl Of about twenty. Like the gen.
tleman he was, he crowded back and
gave her room and removed his hat.
Where, oh, where was that boy?
The time one has to wait in an
elevator seems three times as long as
waiting at soda fountain outside.
Miss Myrtle moved about uneasily.
Mr.. Lincoln coughed nervously. An
