and is building IL more; France has
70 and is building 23 additional ones;
Russia has 25, and is building 18:
building 81 Austria has 49,, and has
four under construction, while Italy
owns Is, and is building two. Yet the
submarine is still an unknown quan--
tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or more of the
French types.
The submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor in
deciding naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time it has done nothing to prove its
value. 1t was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical eff
feet upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up to
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de-
stroying each other But it has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine is as blind as the traditional
bat. It's crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled to re-
sort to the use of the periscope, which
energies unostentatiously above the
water. in order to see its own course.
1t is known that the periscope is
the eye of the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part of
these boats.
Submarine Versus Arships.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon 1t being seen. 1t was
believed that it would go upon its way,
dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make
slight wake on the water, and when
submerged there are telltale bubbles.
But it has been discovered that from
a certain height an observer may trace
the course of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as IL Il was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now can
ferret out the sneaking submarine, and
they both are supposed to be armed to
destroy the warship that moves like a
fish.

A|RSH|PS AND
SUBMARINES,
WASPS OF WAR
Both Are Getting Their First
Real Test in This Con-
fIiCt in Europe.
MAY FIGHT ONE ANOTHER
Each Invention Now Is Prepared to
Pull the Others Sting, But Their
Actual Value Is Yet to
Be Demonstrated.

Every modern war has been fought
with new weapons, and for the last
century there have been countless in
ventions for the carrying on of war
fare in a particularly destructive man
ner, with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming so horrible and
terrible that it must soon pass away
from the face of the earth, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But it happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible continuance was
invented and introduced into armies
and navies inventors Immediately
busted themselves by offsetting and
discounting it's probable effect Con-
sequently war not only has not passed
away, but we still have it with us.
Thus it Is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the worlds last con-
fiagration, Is found upon examination
to be false, and the end OF war is not
yet arrived.
Trying Out Inventions.
In the present war in Europe there
are being tried under the conditions of
actual hostilities many improvements
and inventions that previously have
been tried only under laboratory con-
ditions. Their real worth will only be
discovered at the close Of the conflict.
No army or navy engaged in the
present conflict in Europe but what is

improvements made since 1870. The

Goodyear Prices
It i Folly Today to Pay More

There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 1t re-
suits from War conditions.
These leading tires-built of extra-fine
rubber, in the same way as always-are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August-when war began-the
worlds rubber markets seemed closed to u.s.
Rubber prices doubled almost over night
Men could see no way to pay for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others-in that panic-were forced to higher
prices But we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
worlds rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
Der. They bought-before the advance, $780,
900 pounds of the finest rubber there
Nearly all this is now on the way to US.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para Those are the worlds
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of a constant supply, and our pick of

grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected But that ''off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance Of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.

Speaking of Mr.. Kemp'S laugh, it
may be said that he is natural

audiences that rare treat-pure fun
His humor is delicious. Everybody
likes his funny people, but best of
all they like him. To have the
blues while Kemp is around is out
of the question. His is the smile
that pushes back the clouds and
radiates sunshine and good fellow

and keen perception enables him to
interpret the more serious side of

To meet Mr.. Kemp is to be inn

and he does this with all the vary
