NEGRO TO HANG FOR MURDER

MOULTRIE, Gavin MeGriff, a

separately called to the famous
"Springbok" case before the United
States supreme court, developing the
continuous voyage" theory. Though
this doctrine, which it is asserted
justifies a belligerent blockading a
neutral port, was strongly resisted
by European nations the fact it was
accepted by the Alabama claims arbi-
tration was sufficient to make it an
endurable principle of law, according
to the British view. Therefore the
order in council, which is believed
by British officials to be entirely in
accord with that theory, will continue
to be applied, although with due def
erence to the protection of legitimate
neutral trade.
Incidentally it is commended by
Great Britain in it's communication
that the execution of these orders in
council so far has not resulted in any
damage to American trade. Accord
ing to the British view, that trade
has waxed enormously large since the
beginning of the war, American treas
ury figures showing an increase OF
5000, 100000 in exports during elev-
en- months, while American ocean
freight has grown by 744,000 tons.
Significant as indicating the
amount of American goods entering
Germany and Austria attention is di-
rected to statements that American
exports to the Netherlands have in
creased from $98,OOO,OOO to $122,-
100000; to Sweden, from $4,000
900 to 81, 100000; to Norway, from
100000 to $35,OOO,OO0, and to
Denmark from $13,OOO,OOO to $7O,-
100000
That America received a fair sup
ply of goods from Germany, notwith-
standing the war, is shown, the Brit
ish claim, by the fact that in eight
months the imports from that coun-
try to the United States aggregated
$50, 100000, and it is noted also that
the import of dyestuffs from Ger
many was greater than the previous
year.

STUPENDOUS BUSINESS DONE
BY GOODRICH TIRE MAKERS
Factory Covers rs Acres and Employs $4,000 People
Interesting Talk With DR.. ChappeI of Lamar Auto Co

"One of the biggest assets of the
B. F. Goodrich Co. is pride" says DR.,
Chappell, of the Lamar Auto Co., To-
cal branch manager of the big Akron,
Ohio, manufacturer of Goodrich safe
ty tread tires. Pride in perfecting
the product. Pride in achievement
won, step by step, through frank and
fair means only. Pride in the main
tenance of high standard of quail
ity, in a reputation for reliability, de-
Probability and the square deal at
all times.
The B. F. Goodrich Co has been
making history in the rubber indus
try for more than As years.
ut has always been the leader! 1t
has almost never had boom or the
reaction that follows a boom.
1T has been conservative in all its
moves-never experimenting at its
customers expense, yet never lag
ging behind first place in the process
sion. 1t has been the pioneer in near
ly all great Improvements made in
the working of rubber. And it has
grown, steadily, surely, as well as
stupendously, until the largest rubber
factory in the world today is that of
the B. F. Goodrich Co. at Akron, O.
The operations of this factory re-
quire and utilize more than rs acres
of floor space, and the B. F. Goodrich
Co., frequently employs more than
$4,000 people.
, ''No other rubber factory in the
world buys so much rude rubber
manufacturing as it does more than

yearly.
1T pays one-slxth of all the taxes

because of the precision principle and

Every day in the year, on average
the operations of the B. F. Goodrich
Co. result in its receiving more than
10000 pieces of mail and more than
$50 kilograms.
1T manufactures 284 class of rub
Der goods. Some of these classes sub
divide into large businesses. Thus it
makes 100 kinds of rubber hose, II

cOnveyor belts that measure as much
as five feet wide and weigh more than
1874 pounds each, hard rubber de-
partment that alone employs more
than 500 men.
'All this in addition to it's other
departments and the 81 kinds of rub
Der tires it makes exclusive of the
Goodrich Safety tread auto tires.
This volume of rubber buying,
manufacturing and selling, with the
corresponding reduction of overhead
expense when divided oVel so many
classes, is what gives to the Good
rich factory the lowesC cost for tire
manufacturing of the highest grade.
The responsibility to so many
lines of dealers and consumers, in so
many lines of trade, is what makes
it so Jealous in guarding the quality
and value of each product that bears
the Goodrich name-so slow to
launch new things until thoroughly
tested-so keen to make success sure
and continuous, rather than dramatic
and transient.
And of all these Goodrich prod
ucts that which best expresses the
measure of our capacity, our expert
ence and good faith is the Goodrich
safety tread tire.
i"It does this through giving the
greatest mileage and residence in the
field at the fairest cost per mile to
users.
when you test these Goodrich
safety tread tires and compare them
with others of considerably higher
price you will then understand our
pride in Goodrich standards and
ideals.

rich tires being made better each
year than they have ever been, and
improved with each months output.

no matter how much more price could
be obtained for the greater efficiency
