tendent William II. Maxwell has is
sued a formal order to the principal
of every school for the reading of the
safety proclamation on Friday after

in the safety league, the emblem of
which is a little button, bearing A

Lecturers from the museum have been

schools twice every day spreading the
doctrine of safety and caution. Thous-
ands of little stories written specially
to interest the children, each with its
safety lesson have been given out in
The schools. The keen interest which

the large number of letters, compost

DIAMOND TIRE COMPANY
ASCERTAINS THE TRUTH

That newspaper advertising is more
valuable and more satisfactory than mag
azines and that hereafter the bulk of
Diamond Tire appropriations will 20 to
newspapers is a statement issued by that
company.
This is the statement issued:
The quickest and most effective way to
reach automobile owners is through the
columns of the daily newspapers.
That's why most of our appropriation
this year will go into the newspapers.
I'VE find we not only reach present
automobile owners (who naturally buy
the large percentage of the present out
put of tres) but we also educate pros
pective buyers to insist that their car be
equipped with Diamond Vitalized rubber
tires.
1--WE also find newspaper advertising Is
read moro thoroughly by our own sales
men, our 5000 dealers, manufacturers
of automobiles and their purchasing
agents. So, as an educational force for
Diamond Vitalized tires, we do not see
how the newspapers could be improved
upon.
1--WE are now passing through the most
successful season we have ever had dur
ing our sixteen years of experience in
building tires. Never before have we
been able to produce such a large volume
of tires in so short a space of time, and
as a consequence our sales department
is breaking all previous records.

PACKARD HEROIC AT
FLOODED DAYTON

Charles Denegre, local sales manager
for the Packard cars, received yester-
day information about the unusual part
played by Packard trucks at Dayton
when that city was under water; that
over SO trucks were sent on special
trains to the scene of devastation.
Details of that work as given out
by Mr.. Denegre follows:
Ten more Packard trucks We're
shipped to Dayton Sunday for use in
relief work. There are now more than
so Paclxards engaged in distributing
supplies and cleaning the wreckage.
Motor trucks in one week removed
over 1000 dead animals and hundreds
of tons of debris from the streets. In
addition they delivered provisions and
supplies for more than 100000 people
from the Fifth street station of the
Pennsylvania railroad to relief stations
in all parts of the city.
''Only small number of Dayton's
motor trucks could be used because
most of them were wrecked by the
flood. 1t was necessary, therefore. to
call on large concerns throughout the
country for the loan of motor trucks
that there might be no delay in clean
ing up the streets. The first to ar
rive from outside were eight heavy

BY CLYDE w. ENNIS

A usual New York city has
IA set the pace in a new custom
4 = for cities and one destined to
be of incalcuble good for the country.
Last Friday was specially set aside for
safety day" In that observance $4,000
public school teachers of that city and
nearly 100000 school children par
ticipated not to mention a vast number
of other citizens interested in the safe
" of the people at large. The question
of safety on the streets is growing
more serious every day. The protec-
ton of pedestrians is of unquestioned
moment. Children especially are often
subjected to more than necessary peril
from unobserved street regulations and
the personal disregard of teamsters and
automobile drivers along the public
highways It is to relieve this unusual
and dangerous situation that has caused
New York to start this crusade.
In Birmingham we observed some
weeks ago lectures and work from a
gentleman and his wife from Cali
fornia along lines of safety. That con-
tributed to a certain extent in draw
ing the attention of the authorities and
others to the dangers In Birmingham.
It Is understood that following the lead
of New York in this work a special
day will be set aside In Birmingham
for safety discussion Within the next
school term. In connection with the
work In New York the following state
ment has been issued by the American
Museum of Safety and which will be
OF wide interest here:
New York city is about to inaug-
urate a new custom into its daily life
In the form of an annual safety day;
one day set apart out of the whole year
for the especial consideration of safe
ty, particularly in the public schools.
The first safety day will fall on Fri
day, April 4, when at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon every one of the $4,000 teach
ers in the public schools of Greater
New York will read a safety lecture
to the children. In all some s5o,Ooo
school children will be listening to the
lesson in safety at the same hour, for
the parochial and children's aid schools
are included.

Clock Without a Snr;nv

From the Strand.
A unique timepice has recently been
invented by Eugene Walser. a watch
maker In Los Angeles. Four years Of
work has perfected a clock which keeeps
accurate time, but is without a spring in
it's makeup.
The motive power is gained by the
clock rolling down an incline. regulated
by wonderful arrangement OF weights
on the inside of the clock. There is no
winding to be done, but every 30 davs
the colck is lifted to the top of the in
cline and begins the slide downward.
The dial does not revolve with the
case, but remains as an ordinary dial
with the figure 12 at the top. The in-
cline is Of polished wood, ls inches long
with an $ 10 per cent grade, There IS
no relation between the wood and the
clock; it is Simply matter Of properly
adjusted weights which move the hands
and control the downward motion Of
the timepeIce.

year branch that a new tube for mo-
torcy1icts will be placed on the market
The tube will be made stronger TO take
care of the increaes in weight of mo-
torcycles.
He said yesterday:
There will be a new Blue Streak
tube added to the Goodyear line of mo-
torcycle goods.
This tube has been made 20 per cent
stronger than any tube used in regular
tires before.
This strength has been added to
take care of the 1913 machines, which
are being made heavier and faster.
by combining Goodyear motorcycle
tires and Blue Streak tubes, motor
cyclists will get not only the service
of the 20 per cent stronger and more
enduring tubes. but also the lasting
service and the extra mileage of tires
proved by hundreds OF tests to be the
most durable in existence"
