Tile Rock Pile For Spceders.

In these days oof freak legisla-
tion, .ianAtieal laws and attempts
to regulate habits and personal
affairs by legal rules, it is refresh
ing to come across new idea in
city ordinances which, hurting no
one, acts as a means of saving
lives and reducing the number of
accidents. 4
+. Portland, Oregon. is the the city
which is to be complimented upon
writing into its code law which
has made the place unique in one
respect. There are 300, 900 people
in Portland and there are count
less automobiles. Yet in the last
nine months there has not been
one person injured, much less
killed in an automobile accident
in that city.
And why is this SOP Because in
Portland the driver of an automo-
bile who exceeds the speed limit
is put to work on the rock-pile,
for from two to thirty days. No
fines accepted. If the driver is
convicted he must do his time at
hard labor and no exceptions are
made. Portland's streets are safe
to pedestrians.
Here is an idea which ought to
spread eastward.

Important Notice to Shippers.

We quote for your information
Section from the War Revenue
Act No. 2i7, entitled IAN Act to
Increase the Internal Revenue and
for other purposes"
Express and freight: 1t shall be the
duty OF every railroad or steamboat
company, carrier, express company or
corporation Or person whose Occupa.
tiOn is to act as such, to issue to the
shipper or cOnsignOr. or his agent, or
eersOn from whom any goods are ac-
cepted for transportation, where a
charge exceeding 5 cents is made a
bill of lading, manifest, or other evil
dence of receipt and forwal ding for
each shipment received for carriage
and transportation, whether in bulk
or in boxes, bales, packages. bundles.
or not so inclosed or included: and
such shipper, consignor, agent or per-
son shall duly attach and cancel as
is in this Actproyided, to each of said
bill of lading, manifests Or other
l cent; any failure to issue such bill
of lading. manifest, or other memo :
randum as herein provided, shall sub
ject such railroad or steamboat COM
pany, carrier, express company, or
corporation or person, to penalty
of 5000 for each Otfense.''
Under this Act it is incum bent
on the shipper to furnish the reve-
nue. stamps and affix such stamp
to each dray receipt or bill of
lading and cancel such stamp at
time bill of lading or dray receipt
is presented to the agent of the
carrier for signature.
Where shippers are in the habit
of obtaining dray receipts for
their shipments and subsequently
exchanging such dray receipts
for bills of lading. the dray re-
ceipts should invariably bear the
proper revenue stamp as it is not
permissible for the carrier to sign
any form Of receipt for goods Of
fered for transportation unless
such receipt contains the necessary
stamp. When these dray receipts
are exchanged for bills of lading,
such bills Of lading will contain u
notation accordingly, as it is not
necessary to afffx stamp to both
the original dray ticket and bill of
lading. s -. ;; = -
In order to avoid delay, it is
suggested that shippers provide
themselves. with supply of stamps
to be affixed to all dray receipts
or bills ofladipg, effective Dec. 1st.

0ontinued from Page Thirty-five) better tires than Goodyear ever made be- fore.
 .son Friday of last week our production than twice as many as any other single tire factory in the world has ever pro- dueed in the same time.
 Let us add that because of our in sistence of quality, Goodyear No-Rim-Cut Tires are the most expensive in the world to make. We have steadfastly refused to sacrifice quality to expediency. On that basis owr sales have grown from a cypher to 33,000.000 in a few years, and on that basis we shall continue to grow and please the tire-using public.
 For instance. ours is the only tire now made by the 'On-Air' cure. That alone costs the company s150O day, but it prevents wrinkled fabric and minimizes blowouts. Therefore we retain it.
 Fully as important is the fact that we are using for tires fabric made in our own mill purchased by Goodyear year ago at 1<illingly. Conn. We had already been buying and using the best long staple cotton fabric obtainable for our work. Our experimental stair found that in even the best fabric purchasable the threads running one way had greater ten- sion that the cross threads. and therefore did more than their share of the work.
 ''So in our mill we experimented until we perfected a weave in which all threads bore an equal strain. and we use fabric woven that way, under our own super vision, in our tires. And our tire fabric ts more efficient than ever before.

CRAFTS HUMAN HAIR
 ON ID BALD HEADS

The grating and interchanging of hu- rei and others lat meeting of the Inter- national Surgical Association. have been carried one step further by Dr. Siegmond Batch of Buffalo says a New York Special to the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Dr. Batch says that he can successfully transplant and grow human hair
 His method. which, he says, is the re- suit Of twenty years of study, is to trans plant small portions or the scalp itself in a series of delicate surgical operations.
 From ordinary dandruff to degenera- tion of the mesoterium papilla, there are more than forty scalp diseases" said Dr. Batch today. These ills conspire to bring on premature badness. However the majority of cases of actual hair grafting are necessitated by accidents
 The epidermis is known as the deep sue, and what is known as the deep facta. are the four muscular tissues out side the skull. The method of hair trans ference consists in cutting through the ccrium without injurin;s the individual food sacks attached 70 each papilla Patches an inch square are then bound on the injured persons skull for a period of two or three weeks.
 Where a large area is to be replaced several operations a number of weeks apart are necessary. It is possible to grow hair on bald mans head, though my personal experiments have only been successful in 50 per cent of the cases There are fourteen layers of nerve cells in the scalp, and massage Is first neces- sary to stimulate them to life.

'"The tendency toward lower upkeep is focusing more and more attention on the enormous saving of power made possible by our Sivertown Cord Tires" says A. J. Willis. Manager Goodrich Company. Akron, Ohio.
 Manufacturers everywhere have called
 attention to their lighter cars which save tires and repairs. but motorists still think of their gasoline bill as more or i less a fixed tax
 One motor car expert has figured out that close to s1O0.0000o0 is spent every year for gasoline to propel American
 motor cars. Since Silvertown Card Tires
 cut power consumption 25 per cent, ac-
 cording to countless tests motor car
 homie waste of $25000,000 a year. simply by using these economical tires
 Few people think of the relation of the tire to the transmission system Whatever heat Is generated in bearings,
 tires, etc. power is wasted. So heat and | wasted power are practically SYNONYMOUS. 'The absence of cross fibers in Silver town Cord Tires does away with much internal friction. The tire easily con forms to road inequalities. without using valuable engine forces to flex the tire as with fabric tires where the wrap and wool rub and generate heat. Because of
 the cord construction, this tire Is free | from stone bruises and new sections can
 be added, making repairs easy.

Auto Truck Aids
 In Development

"The motor truck has taken upon itself Charles Denegre of Southern Garage.
 Its speciality seems to be an aid in the accomplishment of the great engineering feats which have to do with the harness ing or conveying of water
 Packard motor trucks rere called into action on the Great Western Power Com pany's dam at Big Meaoows in the very heart of the Sierras of California A haul of g miles where there were con- tinuous grades of 4 and per cent for 10 miles at time, and grades of 1T and IS per cent at other points did not deter the trucks. The freight was steel girders weighing 1900 to 2000 pounds, and generally weighted to the truck by heavy bags of cement.
 Tn the shadows of Mts Hood and Adams in the Cascade rangs Packards have engaged in another huge undertak- ing. The Northwestern Electric Com pany, of Portland Ore had to harness it's power from the White Salmon River In Washington 100 miles away They called on the motor truck to help build the big power plant and then specially equipped this same truck to get more than 1000 poles over which the electric current was brought into Portland
 Tn the mountains it carried lengths of pipe so long that it took 1500 pounds of cement on the front half of the trucks platform to keep it from tipping over on the 10 and 15 per cent grades.
 Packard trucks have covered 200o0 miles in this mountainous work where formerly mules could not be used."'

Racing Notes For
 Race Followers

The opening gun for supremacy between Europe and America on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was sounded last week when "Gil'' Anderson roared around the famous brick oval at the breathless speed of % miles an hour, according to un- official ''cockers" posted at vantage points along the course. Anderson was
 tuning" up one of the trio of the Stutz ghosts" which will compete in the com ing speed classic against the troupe of sensational foreign invaders. His re- markable time in the first tryout on the speedway is an indication that there won't be a laggard carrying the name "Strutz' in the international speed strug- gle May S0.
 Anderson made his flying start in the practice trials on the same day that an- other great artist, who touches the high sports on the musical scale, made her first formal inspection on the Indian apolis speed plant. While Anderson was annihiliatng speed at the rate of a mile and a half minute in his racer, Madame
