New Years Morning
By HELEN HUNT JACKSON

only a night from old to newt
" Only a night and 80 much
wrought!
The Old Years heart all weary
grew,
But said, "The New Year rest has
brought"
The Old Years heart Its hopes laid
down
As in a grave, but, trusting, said,
THE blossoms of the New Years
crown
Bloom from the ashes Of the
dead"
The Old Years heart was full Of
greed;
With selfshness II longed and
ached
And cried, II have not half I need |;
My thirst Is bitter and unslaked,
But to the New Years generous
hand
All gifts in plenty shall return;
True loving it shall understand;
By all my failures It shall learn
have been reckless; It shall be
Quiet and calm and pure Of life.
was a slave; it shall 60 free
And find sweet peace where I
leave strife"
Only a night from old to new!
Night and the healing balm Of
sleep!
Each morn Is New Years morn come
true,
More of a festival to keep.
All nights are sacred nights to
make
Confession and resolve and prayer.
All days are sacred days to wake
New gladness In the sunny air.
Only a night from old to new!
Only a sleep from night to morn!
The new is but the old come true;
Each sunrise sees Q new year
born.

Keeping Tire Repair Men
Posted on New Methods

Within the past week repairmen in
every part oil the country have been
notified by the b. +. Goodrich Company
of an improved method of tire repair
which will save car owners thousands
of dollars.
This is the result of more than a year
of study and scientific investigation by
the repair department of the largest
rubber factory in the world
Two principal difficulties have been
found with repairs as made heretofore.
The repairman often has not taken the
have been heaped upon the injured
parts, but the injury itself remained.
The repair was no more than patch,
a makeshift, and often the patch was
as stiff as a piece of armor plate. The
stiff patch and the resilient tire body
parted and the tire "shufiled on be-
fore it's time
Again, in some cases repair ma aterials
have been used which were not designed
to harmoniZe. AS n result, part of the
tire was either over-cured or under
cured.
Under the new method the same
tools and equipment are used. the re-
pair cost practically the same as here
tofore. but the tire goes back on the
road nearly as strong as before IN
jury.
provement has caused a great deal OF
comment both among the trade and
also among car owners, many OF whom
have heretofore felt that 1t was i'm
possible to repair badl" blown-o
tire effectively. Instruc tions are fur
nished to repairmen without charge.
