And when he arose and told how
unfair to the working women would
be an eight-hour law, some of your
employers almost wept.
Why, women like to work-they
want to iron shirts as many hours
as their merciful employers will per-
mit-it would be a crime for any
legislative body to force them to
quit toiling after eight hours.
And the four hundred solemnly
nodded approval, and one Of them
murmured, ''Them's my sentiments,

And Veins, encouraged, grew
quite serious. eff the members of

what women do in their idle hours

said eagerly, "they would do whole

Of course I am only a working
woman and my suggestions would
have no weight with a legislative
body, but just as a little pleasantly

|UPKEEP OF HIGHWAY
|MPRESSES TOURIST
H. B. Joy Inspects Two Routes
Across Illinois and
Iowa.

II. g. Joy. prominent automobile
manufacturer of Detroit. has just COM
pleted a motoring trip from Detroit TO
Omaha and return in the interest OF the
ocean to- ocean highway project, with
which he is prominently identified. Ine
tour was made to obtain preliminary
survey of the northern and southern
routes across Illinois and Iowa.
Both routes were thoroughly COW
cred on this trip, which developed
points in favor of each. The road be-
tween Iowa City and Davenport he
said. is one of the finest stretches OF
improved highway to be found In the
country. The northern route, however.
is less hilIy and touches greater num-
her of good sized towns
Need Signs at Crossroads.
Mr. JOY was particularly impressed
by the fact that within a few hours
after several days of rain in Iowa the
farmers of that state had scraped sew
eral hundred miles of roadway. This
is a simple and effective method or I'M
proving a dirt road.
The crying need for legible signs
marking the transcontinental high
ways at forks and crossroads was ap-
parent In many localities the scarcity
of signs makes touring most difficult
for the motorist who has never been
over the ground. AS an example or
what may be accomplished, attention
was called to what is known as the
white Pole route" across Iowa This
trail throughout its entire length is
marked by wide, white bands on the
telegraph and telephone poles. The
result is the motor1st has constant as
surance that he is on the right road
Made Trip in Special Car.
The trip was made in Mr.. Joys
prairie schooner" Packard as
chassis with a special body designed by
himself for use as q camp car. 1t Is
fitted with an alcohol stove, electric
lights, sleeping bags and a complete
equipment which make camp life
luxury.
Mr.. Joy was so impressed by the in
terest shown through the middle west
in the plans for transcontinental
highway that he will start shortly in
his car and extend his observations to
the Pacific coast
The ocean-to-ocean highway project
was launched by Carl &. Fisher of In

Hudson River Shad.

From the New York Tribune.
You may have noticed that your shad
this year was wilted and tasteless and
far from the fish upon which you dotted
In your childhood. For once you are
right 1t is not that you are growing
old, but that the best shad In the busi-
ness, those from our own Hudson river,
have passed out.
Last winter the shad fishermen put out
their nets as usual. But nothing hap
pened. The shad Is q temperamental
beast. and it was thought at first that a
change in weather would bring him
around. But wintry spring came and
went without results. And now the old
est fishermen are selling out and moving
to other waters.
Just why the thistle Of the fish family
has taken a sudden dislike to his old
haunts every one is at liberty to guess.
Probably the fact that each year the
Hudson Is becoming more like a sewer
and less like river has something to do
with the case.
At any rate, here passes really ia

be in future years to shake our heads

Our Secret

The only way known to
make a faultless tire of
this type is byusing braid
ed wire bands in the base.
We use six of these
bands-126 wires. We set
them at certain angles.
Thus we make a tire which
nothing can force off, yet
a tire which doesn't hook
to the rim.
These bands are made by
q secret machine, under lock
and key. And no way has
been found to make anything
else which equally serves the
purpose.
That is why the demand
for this new type centers on
No-Rim-Cut tires.

It is not from choice that any maker

Their Record

No-Rim-Cut tires have been
used for seven years-used on
hundreds of thousands of cars.
Not a fault has developed.
Not a tire of this kind has
ever been known to rim-cut.
In addition, these tires have
10 per cent greater air capac-
ity than the same rated size
in clinchers. And that, on
the average, adds Is per cent
to the tire mileage.
All these advantages. yet
no extra price. That is why
