Now Non-Skids

Now we have a double-thick
non-skid. An extra tread, made Of
very tough rubber, vultanized 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.W You Fcan see
that we have the ideal winter tread.
And 200, 200 in actual use have
proved it.

from the Endorsement committee should
be regarded as warrant for giving. at the
same time the failure to show such
token Of genuineness should result in re-
fusale In other words. II a society or
institution canno. prove that 1t has stood
the test Of official investigation it should
ret no support whatever from individual
civers Of aims or contributions. The same
Is true Of the individual canvassers who
have been going about the city for some
time asking for subscrip ions for certain
cases Of urgent need. In some of these
instances the canvassers never tell the
names or addresses Of the people for
whom they are soliciting funds. and there
is good reason to believe that in some
cases the money collected goes no further
than the pockets Of the self-appointed
agents Of supposed charity. To turn a
deaf ear to the solicitations Of all who
cannot show that they are genuinely
working for others who are in need be-
comes the duty OF all people. duty that
they owe not only to themselves to pro-
tect their purses. but to those who are
really deserving of bounty.
It may be that out of this Endorsement
committee will grow system Of charity

is at present undoub- eddy much overlapping
Of efforts on the part OF numerous organi-
cations that crowd each other. There is
need today Of a readjustment to give
distinct field Of operation to each volun-
teer association Of citizens working along
q certain line for the bet erment of con-
ditions and to prevent the waste not
merely OF funds but Of energies. A
clearing house OF sociological ideas should
be an easy evolution with the materials
here at hand. The Washington people
ere ideally situated to grapple with he
social problems and solve them. What is
needed chiefly is scientific organization
of all the forces available with proper
guidance and agencies of execution. The
spirit is here and the funds are here to
work out model system Of charities and
corrections and institu- ions for the moral
uplift Of the people, vastly increasing the
health and comfort and happiness of the

Washington feels with particular keen
ness OF sorrow the death of Rear Ad-
miral Robley D. Evans, who has been
4 resident OF the capital in both his Of
ficia. and personal capacities for nearly
all Of his life. 1t Is invidious, however.
to speak of Washingtonians with spe
cial emphasis in this respect, for he was
known almost AS a friend to practically
every Americani His sobriquet, Fight
ing Bob" was fani lar In every state and
to all classes Of people. Throughout his
career he had been true to the finest ira
ditions Of his p: ofession and upon his re-
tirement he was one OF the best
known and most admired naval officers
the United States. From the begin
ming Of his naval service to its comp e.
ton he was in the thick OF important
happenings. 1t was more than the luck

him public notice and approval He had
the capacity OF squaring up to every re-
quirement In a manner peculiarly capa-
ble His intense patriotism, his over
whelming affection for the service, cou-
pied with striking personality. gave him
prestige that was accomp lnied at the
same time by singula: ly modest dispo-
sition. Evans did not seek notoriety. He
mere did his duty in his own way and
expressed himself in his own language In
such fashion as to become without quail
fication at once valuable and popular.

At Va paraiso he showed so bold a mani

Mr. Taft must take his chances. and
there has always been good ground for
believing that when the time came he
would. He has never shown the spirit OF
a back-tracker. He has never qua led be-
fore clamor about a record. When can

Rear Admiral Evans.

Admiral Evans was Of the rough-and-

was Of the militant type and of the kind
that could not be questioned. He was
quick to resent an insult to his country
and ompt in its defense. Though a
stern disclplinarian, he was beloved by
his men, and did much to perfect the
organic alton of the navy. Presfdt nj

typified the growth OF the navy from the
days of Farragut to the day when Ad-
miral Evans himself brought into the
Pacific waters the mightiest war nee,
