Goodrich Safety Tread

The five fingers of the
Goodrich Safety Tread act as

they get human hand-grip
on the roadway. pressing the

It takes more than brake
to stop a car. 1t takes more
than a steering wheel to keep
you going the way you mast
go, to make the turn you
psUst make.
Unless the treads of your
tires take hold and help, you
don't where you mast
go; you don't stop-where
you usust stop.
Therefore your real emer-
gency brake is in the tread of
your tires-not on the axle.
"AlI the brakes are with
you" if your car is equipped
with Goodrich Safety Tread
Tires.
The five fingers almost
humanize your tires.
They stop the slide sohfch

There is no chance for slip
\ perry ooze to get back between
/ projections or under the tire.
The way is barred in all
! directions by the thick rub
ber fingers. Note also that
these fingers do not offer sharp
angles to wear off rapidly.
This tire is not built on
theory it is the scientific
and practical application of
the right principle, first prov

HUNDRED DOLLAR
NOTE IN HALF
Hard Hitting Third Baseman of Chi
N caeo Nationals Has Unique Offer.
Depending Upon His Behavior.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago. June 19.-Heine thinner
man, the hard hitting third baseman
of the Chicago Nationals, will receive
a 800 bill from an enthusiastic ad-
mirer If he can behave on the baseball
field for the next two weeks. The bill.
cut in two, was sent to the sporting
editor of a local newspaper by a fol-
lower of the game and one half of it
will be handed to the billegerent ball
player today. 1t is worthless without
the other half, which Heine will re-
ceive if he avoids being put out Of the
game by the umpire during the next
few days.
The maker of this unique PROPOSE
ton said in his letter that two weeks
of living in harmony with umpires will
do everybody a lot of good; thinner
man most of ALL
SO far this season Zimmerman has
been put out of the game five times,
three times In the last week.
Hand me half of that bill and
watch me get the other" said Heine
when old of the offer. I'm through
Tossing with umpires anyway and don't
intend to be put out of the game again
this season. I'll be model on the ball
field hereafter"

Washington, June 19.-An amend
ment authorizing the president to sus-
pend certain rates in the proposed tariff
bill and proclaim special rates against
nations who discriminate against pro-
ducts of the United States was adopt
ed today by a majority of the mem
bers of the senate finance committee,
The amendment is appended to a
clause authorizing the president to
negotiate reciprocity agreements with
nations somewhat like the maximum
and minimum clause of the Payne
law eliminated in the house bill.
In substance the amendment says
when any nation discriminates against
the United States products or i'm
poses restrictions on. United States
exports or fails in the presidents s
opinion to reciproca1e trade rela-
tions, the president may suspend GER
tain rates, or put others in effect by
proclamation.
fication by the democratic caucus be-
committee stripped from the bill in
quisitorial clause givipa~ the right to
examine foreign booksiS Anne -isan
agents when the inp<as - sszsrra PES are
disputed. The other provisions were
also eliminated. An amendment was
inserted providing for a tariff COM
mission composed of the senate finance
means committee to study the ques-
ton of the tariff, and report a means
for readjustment.
These actions eliminated from the
bill all points protested by foreign ma
tions.

Three Senators Constituting Board In

ditions Return to Capital.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, June 19.-Three tired
United States senators came back to
Washington today after a week of
strenuous investigation in the coal
strike district of West Virginia. Sen
ators Swanson, Kenyon and MARITIME
returned to the senate to take up their
legislative duties.
During a week in Charleston the
committee examined nearly a hundred
witnesses, worked ten or twelve hours
a day, often sitting until after mid
night and took about one million words
of testimony
The committee will resume hearings
in Washington in a few weeks and will
take up the charge of the West Nir-
