This new-type tire, as we
make it. is controlled by the
Goodyear patents.
1t depends on six fiat bands
of 126 braided wires, vulcanized
into the tire base.
These bands permit us a
hookless tire-a tire that isn't
hooked TO the rim fange.
So your removable rim f1anges
may be curved outward. And
the tire, when wholly or partly
debated, rests on rounded
f1ange.

No Extra Price

No-Rim-Cut tires are made 10
per cent oversize, to give you
an over-tired car.
That means 10 per cent more
air-10 per cent added carrying
capacity. And that, with the av-
erage car, adds % per cent to
the tire mileage.
This added mileage, plus the
saving of rim-cutting, cuts tire
bills IN two. Yet these patented
tire-thcse oversize tires-now
cost no more than other stand
ard tires.
Their sale in two years has
increased 500 per cent.

answer in Pittsburgh recently on the oc-
casion of the banquet held in conJunc-
ton with the annual meeting of the Penn
sylvania Motor Federation, which for the
sixth time elected to it's presidency Rob-
ert p Hooper, who is also head Of the
American Automobile Association.
THE question that now confronts u.s."
said the governor, is, Shall we be con-
tent to apply from year to year such
amount of the ordinary revenues of the

vide. as has been proposed such an
amount as will enable the state highways
department to prosecute the work to the
best advantage. and to the end that you
of today as well as those who come
after. may enjoy improved roads, reach

hottest CORNERS of our state?
When the proposition to provide suffi-
cent money to carry on this great work
comes before the people and our legis-
,ature, this organization can and / am
certain will prove most potent force in
it's contamination. When it is under

when created will not add single penny

purposes, there will be no dissenting
voices or votes"

will be possible for one to breakfast in

Improvement of the cross-state road con-
Meeting Pennsylvania's largest cities. The
contention in Pennsylvania is similar to
what was put forward previously In New
York, which is that real Improvement of
the highways benefits the future as well
as the present generation, and in con-
sequence the cost may be distributed over
a period Of years.

fighting against fact and admission Of
1t, yet how could he help It?
He had loved once before in his life
with the fire of youth and spring. but
1t was not like this. He did not rec.
ognize this new passion In any light
from the past; therefore he would not
admit It. Hence, he did not under
stand 1t. But he saw and admitted
and understood enough to know that
the past was no longer the supreme
subject In his life, that the present

He stopped his ceaseless pace for

His hand sought the latch.

The cabin was built OF logs. the
room was large. perhaps IL by 20 feet,
with one side completely taken up by
the stone fireplace; there were two
windows. one On either side Of the

become familiar with every one Of

were driven wooden pegs: from some
of them hung a pair OF snow shoes. q

and bear skins were spread. In one
