Goodyear Manager Here
Describes Cord Tires

Motorists hear the term cord tire
very often these days" says l.. r. Gem
nell, Washington branch manager of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany. 80 many erratic definitions of
the term and descriptions of cord tires
are seen and heard that an accurate de-
scription may be timely and interest
ing. Goodyear made the first American
cord tires edeven years ago. and has
Teen manking and selling them ever
since, so we consider ourselves somc-
what an authority on tho subject.
"A cord tire Is so-called because Its
carcass Is built of layers OF plies OF
parallel cords instead of full-woven Tor
crcss-woven) fabric. OF course. the
strength Of cross-woven fabric - OBJ
tained in cord tires by laying certain
plies of parallel cords in one direction
aud other plies In a cross direction.
Naturally this construction makes
for maximum resiliency. This Is es-
pecially essential in tires for electrics,
where power consumption is easily af-
fected and the comfort and added res
iliency of gasolene car cord tires have
made them desirable to owners of large
cars, who are willing to pay an ad-
dltioral price for these finer points"

FavOrS Real Race for
Cars of Touring Type

why not a thousand-mle race such
as has been proposed on the Indiana
polls motor speedway between the win
ners of all the previous 500-mile interna-
tional sweepstakes races, but limited to
the registered stock touring car models
OF these makers
This is the suggestion Of Mr.. Walter
Marmon, president of Nordyke Mar
mon Company. of indianapolis. relative
to the proposition of the greatest con-
test" which has been discussed during
the last few months.
my idea would be to have each of
the factories-Marmon. National. Peu-
gout, and Delage and winner of the 1915
race-provide regular stock touring
models. which would be allowed to
have no extra racing fttings> Let each
car be fitted exactly as 1t would 60 on
the road for touring. with top and
Windshield up, carrying FIVE passengers,
with electric lighting and starting
equipment and. tools and everything
that a man expects to have on his car
on a touring trip, with the exception,
perhaps Of the luggage for the passen-
gers. Then make the race OF 1000
miles on the speedway for a purse of
$1,000

NEGRO LOCK JAW
VICTIM IS DEAD
Charles Morrison Succumbs
Twenty-FOur Hours After
Visit to Cape.

Charles Morrison, the negro who
visited friends in Cape Girardeau Fri
day afternoon, while suffering from
lockjaw, died at his home out in the
county yesterday Afternoon. Several
injections of anti-tetanus serum failed
to bring Morrison any relief, and he
succumbed after day of excruciating
pain.
Cape Girardeau physicians, who
were in charge of the case, informed
the negro Friday afternoon that it
would be necessary to amputate one of
his fingers, an injury to which caused
tetanus. The operation was planned
for yesterday morning, but when the
doctors reached the home of Morrison,
he was in such a precarious condition
that the operation could accomplish no
good results.
Morrison lived Just about forty
hours with his jaws set. When he
awakened Friday morning, ne told his
physicians, he moved his jaws slightly,
but they became immovable an hour
later. He drove to this city from his
home, about eight miles north of the
city, and then drove back again.
He suffered only slightly Friday,
but the pain became intense during
Friday night. He slept but a few min
utes during the night and was al
most unconscious from pain when
dawn came He failed to rally to the
treatment administered by
his physicians, and began to grow
feeble shortly before noon. He re-
manned alive until o'clock.

JACKSON WlDOWMAY
BE CHOSEN JUDGE
Mrs. Armstrong Wants to Sue
coed Late Husband AS JUS
tice of the Peace.

Mrs. Lilly Armstrong, widow Of
Justice of the Peace J. A. Armstrong
of jackson, has started her campaign
there for the appointment to succeed
her late husband in filling out his un-
expired term as Justice of the Peace.
Judge Armstrong died suddenly
September ; when his term still had
many months to run. Mrs. Arm
strong had been the Judges assistant
in the management of his court pro
ceedings for several weeks prior to his
death.
She feels that she is eminentIv
qualified for the position, having had
experience with the work.
She has been circulating petitions in
Jackson this week, asking her fricnGs
to boost her for the appointment to
fill out the term. Virtually everyone
in Jackson to whom she has gone with
one exception has readily agreed to
sign and boost her nomination.
The question of wonIan's legal
right to sit as Justice of the Peace
may enter into the discussion. should
there be exhibited any inclination 10
appoint her. Women in Missouri are
not even allowed the right to vote.
Hence it might be argued that thcr
had much less right to become Judge.
1t is quite certain that the woman
Judge in jackson would be ar innova-
ton in Southeast Missouri.
In the race for the position. since
Mrs. Armstrong has come out for il.
no other candidates have urged their
cause. The feeling is strong that Mr.,
Armstrong should be given the up
pOintment regardless of whether there
is legal precedent for it or not.
Judge Armstrong, who was a poprt-
lar character in Jackson and in Cape
County, died after an illness lasting
more than a month. He had been =
printer, working in both the local
shops in Jackson, in addition to his po-
sition as Judge. The Judge had local
reputation in Jackson as being one of
the best billiard shots in the town.
