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.

There exists now a new, compelling

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 US.
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 u.s.
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 constant supply, and pick Of

A HARVEST PARTY.
A TRULY delightful country entertain

A TRULY delightful country entertain
ment is harvest party. 1t should
be given out-of-doors on a lawn or in
a field or woods, and 1t can be given
either in the afternoon or else in the
evening. In the evening artificial lights
electric bulbs strung among the trees,
Japanese lanterns holding candles or big
searchlights-will be necessary.
The decorations should consist of piles
of harvested fruits and vegetables. Sheafs
of grain, stacks of hay. pumpkins and
squashes and various other harvest prod
ucts make striking decorations
The refreshments at a harvest party
should obviously be simple and Of the
sort that can be harvested" Plenty Of
fruit should be in evidence, grapes and
peaches and pears and plums and other
home products-but exotic fruits should
be taboo for this once.
Then there might be vegetable sand
w.ches--cucumber and tomato and let
tuce and green pepper. A fruit punch
and the inevitable ices and cakes could
also be served.
The guests have an important part in
the harvest party. For the guests must
come representing various timely fruits
and vegetables. Their costume can con-
sist In a whole disguise. or in a border
of tiny paper pumpkins pinned about

T HERE is place for everything
and everything should be In its
place, according to sound reason
ing. For many years summer has been
the season for vacations, and most vaca-
tions have taken place in the summer.
Now this me-established rule is losing
its force. Any time, from the 1st of
January to the S1st of December, is con-
sidered vacation time.
There Is much to be said in favor of
the autumn vacation, especially for the
man or woman who works throughout
most of the year and has only a few
weeks to devote exclusively to recrea-
ton. A vacation in September sends the
worker back. refreshed. to cool and pleas
ant weather in the city. A June vacation
sends him back to the heat of July and
August, so that by autumn he Is ready
for a second rest
There is another advantage In the Sep
tember vacation. The weather is almost
sure to be pleasantly cool at the vacation
resorts in September. Really a hot
stretch of seashore is almost as hot as
cool office building in a July heat spell.
But by September the vacation seeker
may be almost sure of cool nights and
comfortable days at the seashore or in
the country. Some mountain resorts, to
be sure, are comfortably cool all summer,
but they are not uncomfortably cool in
September.
And last, but not least to most of US,
rates of hotels have way of falling off
