Big Year Ahead For
the Bicycle Business

las factory employees and
farmers are the largest users Of
bicycles, and since factories are
working day and night and farm
ers are enjoying the effects of
bunker crops, there will be plenty
of cash to buy bicycles when the
season opens this spring, states
L. B. Lyman of The B. F. Good
rich Co., who market the famous
Palmar Bicycle Tire and the
Goodrich Giant Safety" which
is patterned after Goodrich auto
mobile tires.
The concerted movement
among bicycle and accessory
parts manufacturers to standard
ize parts will mean cheaper, yet
better bicycles for the consumer.
The aim for 1916 is the sale of
one million wheels.
1.-THE tendency is also toward
The purchase, by the consumer,
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1916-06-23

of higher quality tires, and
while the great Goodrich factor
les are in a position to furnish
tires at almost any price. we are
making our drive on quality be-
cause such tires exemplify the
famous Goodrich slogan Best in
the Long Run and thus benefit
the consumer more than tires
made simply to sell.
"Our giant Safety is a heavy,
thick tire, made of heavy, stl ong
fabric with more and better
cushion rubber than used in other
tires. For durability and resist
ance to puncture it is marvel.
The Palmer is a tire de luxe,
light and resilient-the Silver
town of bicycle tires. These
two tires are being much sought
after by bicycle riders who are
particular.
''The revival of wheeling this
year will certainly surprise the
folks who have soundly asserted
that the bike was gone for
good"

PRESIDENT PEYTOA ON
SAFETY FIRST PLANS
Issues Statement to Employees
On Importance of Great
Safety Movement

The safety first campaign on
the Nashville, Chattanooga q
st. Louis Railway is gradually
permeating every nook and
corner of the system, until soon.
err or later an employe -partic
ularly the car eless will meet
the emblem of safety at every
turn.
Further impetus has been
given the work in bulletin just
issued by President Peyton to
each employe" in which he tells
of the great good to be ac-
complished through cooperation,
and appoints each man in the
service "a committee of one on
safety first"
The bulletin issued by Mr..
Peyton is as follows: Railroads
are the greatest physical forces
under the control of man. To
construct, continually operate
and improve SO that it may
shoulder humanity's burden,
make travel a delight and dis
lance a delusion,' requires on
your railroad alone--in office and
shop, on track and train-ten
thousand alert and watchful en-
ployes, a big family with big
responsibilities, annually serving
millions of patrons.
Danger is always present.
Every five minutes one person is
seriously injured on the railroads
of the United States. Every
hour they claim toll of one life.
"Twenty-four new y-made
graves, caused by railroad acct
dents, crowded into each short
span of daylight. Most of these
accidents can be prevented. The
railroad-your railroad lis anx-
ious to do it's part. The depart
ment of safety was established
for this purpose. Its time and
talent are at your service. Watch
for and study its bulletins and
confer freely with it. Give it
your hearty support and co-opera-
ton.
Safety first is no child's play. |
1t is no fad or fancy. To the
worker in the ranks, who is the
chief sufferer, it offers safety of
life and limb in return for CO.
operation. To the man behind
the key and those behind the
throttle, to the foreman who
must think safety, individually |
and collectively, for every man
in his shop or gang, to the officer
who must lead and guide-to all
it is the serious charge of
great responsibility and a clear
call to solemn obligation, high
err than any duty the company
can impose.
Its principles demand abso-
lutte right of track in all direc-
tons at all times. Learn to see
the defects in track and train,
in bridge and building; the Turk
ing danger in loose platform
plank, the upturned nail, the
misplaced truck. Guard against
the danger of revolving ma
chinery and moving car, and by
practices, precept and persua-
sion. educate yourself, your fell
low employee and the public in
the principles of safety first.
THE remedy is in individual
thought and action, a desire to
help, a willingness to cooperate
and quickness to act. Let each
of us then, working hard as
individuals and tremendously as
one big family, join hands in
this great work, which is already {
saving hundreds of lives and $
alternating untold sorrow and
suffering"

Another preparedness issue which will probably be lodged by our corporation collared legisla- tors back in Washington is the preparedness for both war and peace involved in the upbuilding of an adequate merchant marine for the transportation of our com merce to the markets of the earth. As the president suggested in his address to the joint session at the opening of congress: if we are to provide for the supreme matter of national self suficiency and self security in all it's aspects ............ 1t is necessary for many weighty reasons of national efficiency and development that we should have a great merchant marine At the present time we are bound and crippled both in and peace by the necessity of de pending upon some other nation for the carriage of our products to practically all foreign markets of the world. We cannot handle our own commerce on the high seas. If other nations go to war or choose to divert their com merce carriers to other avenues we are compelled to stand idly waiting while calling markets re-

be demand without let or hind rance from those who will always be our commercial enemies.
 As the president also intimates in the address referred to, we can develop no true or effective Am erican policy without ships of oui own. When we review the sit uation in this country just after the commencement of the Euro pean conflict we cannot be real ize that America is completely at the mercy of the carrier nations of Europe. Good in countless tons lay for months piled up our ports, trade and industry were paralyz- ed and the entire commercial la brio of the nation subjected to a strain that threatened disaster-all because we are forced to depend upon the permission of foreign ship owners and foreign govern ments for transportation of our products beyond our own borders. Even today the task of supplying the demands of foreign markets is carried on with difficulty and there will doubtless be little re- lief from this condition until we shall be again be as independent commercially as we were thirty years ago.
 Ships of peace are needed by the United States almost as much as ships of war if we are to retain our independence nationally and industrially.

RICH BOY HAS
 NO CHANGE
Chicago Tribune.


 A little spindling boy, listless, indifferent, conveyed by his nurse as carefully as troop ship by dc stroyers. The little boy is not i'll. He is merely fich, and for him in this case it i. worse to be rich than to be i'll. irFor there are doc tors to cure his physical ills, whereas, every person and inhu- ence surrounding him is in an unconscious conspiracy to make his riches a moral illness and mental blight.
 Reformers talk of the loss to the average man of freedom of opportunity which the increase and organization of wealth in America have brought about. The loss is not confined to the poor and struggling. It is shared by the rich and unstruggling. The little spindling sich boy is losing his opportunity to grow and to live richly. His mamma and his papa and his nurse and the so- cial machinery C,ss-e~hich he is pathetic little cog are all deter mined to keep him from experi- ence, from being like other little boys, from stubbing his toe and earning to keep his feet from get ting lost and learning to find his way.

 main unsupplied or seek other sources of supply. If England, for instance, should choose for any reason to cripple our commerce through the withdrawal of her vast mercantile fleet from foreign carriage, where would we be? England, be 1t remembered, car ries practically one half of every pound of commodities exported from the United States to foreign markets. The greater portion of the balance is carried in the ships of france, Norway, Sweden and other nations. Previous to the commencement of the war Ger many and England alone carried there-fourths of everything Am erican shipped beyond the boun- daries of the United States. Should those two nations undertake to cripple American commerce un- der normal conditions, they could Ge al Us blow more disastrous ill its results than the worst effects produced by the war, merely by withdrawing their ships from Am erlcan trade, Ii Europe wanted to paralyze the United States in dustrlally and commercially, 1t needs but an agreement between the principal carried nations, to .ay the export trade of this coun- try prostrate. What will be the sesult of this condition at the end ot the present conflict is, of course, hard to conjecture but it IS practically certain that we will nUt De permitted to use their yes Scls on the scale hitherto aiiowed.

Such a situa- ,ion is not to be endured. Without ships ot our own we must forever be in limited sense the vassels of Europe, through being bound and fettered by the lack of means to carry on our own business. The task of building up an American merchant marine is one that pri- vate capital should undertake but as the tendency of late has been against the needs in this direction, because of alleged gov inhibitions, it is as- suredly the duty of the govern nent to provide the producers of the nation with means to place their products wherever there may
