Motor car makers know most
about tires. And l27' leading
makers this year have contract
ed for Goodyear tires. That's
twice as many as last year.
That is the simple result of
experience. Over 100000 of these
tires have now been tested out.
They have proved their claim
TO cut tire bills in two-proved

No Extra Cost

These patented tires used to
cost one-fifth more than other
standard tires. That's true no
longer. They cost but an equal
price.
Tires that can't rim-cut cost
the same as tires that do. Tires
10 per cent oversize cost the
same as tires just rated size.
Avoidance OF rim-cutting, as
proved by statistics, saves 23per

UP in rare shape and they had Rosenbaum
and Phillips chasing all over the court. At

Scalpinu the Dead.

just when the mutilation of the dead
by tearing the skin from the head be-
gan will never be known, for the origin
is lost in the midst of ages. the record
extending back beyond eve the myth
ical period of mans existence. In the
book of Maccabees it is recorded that
at the termination of one of the bat
ties of which that bloody history is so
full the victorious soldiers tore the
skin from the heads of their vanquish-
ed foes. This would be evidence that
the custom of scalp taking was one Of
the indulgences even of those people

Abandoned Mines.

Old worked out mines are often high
ly dangerous. When they are almost
forgotten the ground above them will
sometimes cave in with disastrous re-
suits. 1t is not an uncommon thing
in an old mining district to see a
house or I'VE part of Il town that has
been wrecked by dropping into an un-
suspected and long abandoned tunnel
beneath. The ordinary preventive
method used in American mines is
more or less extensive timbering. A
method used in European and Austria
liam mining districts is the filing of
abandoned workings with sand. This
is a somewhat expensive method to
start with. but once done no further
thought need be given to it, as the
abandoned mine has practically become
once more a part of the solid crust Of
the earth.

WHITE WINGED PEACE.
A Great Scheme For Averting Wars In
the Future,

Writing on the difficulties of putting
an end to war, f. p. Dunno says in the
Metropolitan:
1t is an interesting theory that it is
not tough minded old statesmen who
drive tender youth to war. 1t is youth
itself which tugs on the leash and pulls
the unwilling statesmen. We car well
believe that this is so. The courage Of
youth is pure fearlessness. The young
are not afraid of death. They regard
is as something that cannot possibly
happen to them. They apprehend it in
tellectually, but they do not feel it;
hence We propose to our fellow peace
wars in future.
In nearly every country there is a
maximum Of age limit for enlistment
or CONSUMPTION. 1t is in the neighbor-
hood Of forty years. Now. why, in
the interests of peace, would it not be
well to make a minimum age limit in
stead? Suppose we say that on the
first call only men over sixty could be
drafted, and on the second only men
over fifty. and On the third only men
over forty. and no man under forty
could be permitted to fight.
How long then would wars continue?
The first call would be answered by a
storm of doctors certificates, the sec
ond by the prompt suspension Of all
banks, and on the third call a body
of resolute patriots who had long been
conscious that death regarded them
wistfully would proceed at once to the
palace or White House or ministry of
foreign affairs and lynch the king,
president or minister who proposed
this outrage on civilization.
