america HAS Learned
TO make india Paper

NEW YORK, June 15.-India paper
manufacture, confined to dozen
small mills and almost monastlc uses
in the Old World before the war. has
now become, despite war embargoes
abroad and the Vaccinations OF the
powder trust, at home. an integral
part OF Americas economic self-suf-
iciency according to President H. L.
Hooper. Of the Encyclopaedia Britain
MICA.
Up to few years ago this very
specialized product was used only for
Bibles and few other somewhat
similar books.
The Britannica for its new eleventh
edition used more India paper than
has been used for all other purposes
in the history of the world. The whole
available supply was bought up and
Efforts made to secure manufacture
on a larger scale. When the new
Handy Volume issue Of the Britain
MICA was conceived il was realized at
once that not only would the Old
World supply be utterly inadequate.
but also that the cost of freight
would be so high as to defeat the OBJ
iect OF a low-priced issue.
The most costly attempts were
made to develop the industry in this
country Only by rushing a man inn
mediately to Europe did Mr.. Hooper
get out the last available free supply
from Belgium and Holland
BY now. however. India paper max
ing has become an integral part OF
our economic life despite all the han
dicaps put upon IL by the war.
This scarcity of India paper. com
bined with foreign embargoes on
leather and the rising cost of labor
glue, binding boards and other items
of manufacture. which will soon force
an increase in the price Of the new
Handy Volume issue. is but another
back eddy of the indirect losses
caused to this country by the war.

TIRES Cheaper Than
They we're YEARS AGO

Although there has been a slight
advance in tire prices. the motorist
may fnd consolation in the thought
that tires now cost only about one
third as much and give about ten
times as much mileage as they did a
decade ago. The present advance Is
only a drop in the bucket--a step
backward, II YOU will. hut certainly
not to be compared to the rough and
tumble prices Of gasoline that we
all see every year.
The tire that costs you $50 now
used TO cost SEQ You can safely ex-
pect anywhere from five TO ten thou
sand miles from H. In the old days
YOU were lucky II you got from FIVE
hundred TO q thousand miles
The FIRST American tire on the mar
ket was the Diamond. In 1899 There
were no precedents established no
experience to go by except what had
been learned in making bicycle tires
and garden hose. Hence the first au-
tomobile tire was single tube ar
fair
Punctures were a constant bugaboo
and frantic efforts were made to find
a substitute for the pneumatic rub
ber automobile tire. There hasn't
been any substitute and from present
indications there never will be. for
rubber has been found to outwear
steel In grinding on the road.
Rubber compounds are now a GER
tainty. The double tube tire makes
the old single tube look foolish. The
carrying capacity Of different sizes is
absolutely known. Non-skid treads
have been developed. and. in fact, ev-
cry element Of utility has been so
thoroughly incorporated in the mod
ern automobile tire that the makers
have actually had time to make 70
look handsome.
The Diamond has black SQueegee
tread. with red side walls. The sub
dued but elegant fnishings on theI
modern car now find their compile
ment in the Diamond black and red
tire

It's easier to lift a load-much
easier-with two strong arms
than with one-and it's speedier

Split the stress-divide the
strain-and you more evenly
distribute the load.
That's the way to do the task
quickly-and with the expendi-
ture of less effort.
And that's just what we have
done with the Packard motive
power.
Two strong and nimble little
arms now do the work which
was done by one rather cumber-
some and heavy arm.
We have made twelve small
cylinders do the work of six
larger ones.
It's six pairs of lively twins
alllight-sturdy- strong ready
for instant and concerted action.
