superintendent of the institution.
Mr.. Gross. however, baked. Pres
sure was brought to bear upon him to
vote for Mr.. LankfoTi's election. but

ments. could not induce him to bulge.

Catarrh Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There's only one way to cure catarrh-
al deafness, and that is by constitu-
itonal remedy. Catarrhal deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucuous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. Unless the in
fiammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing viii be destroyed forever
Many cases of deafness are caused by
catarrh, which is an infiamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces. Halls
Catarrh Cure acts through the blood on
the mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred dollars
for any case of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls CatarrA

COUNTY REAL ESTATE B00MS
Rumor Of Railroad Near Curtis Bay
Makes Prices Soar.

There is considerable real estate &C
tivity in the vicinity of Hawkins
Point, Anne Arundel county. Within
the past few weeks property owners
in the section have been approached by
several persons who said they wanted
land for railroad line. 1t is believed
that efforts will be made to run a
railroad line from Curtis Bay along
Curtis creek and then by circutous
route through the county to tn, section
near the Dawson Chemical Company.
One farmer vas offered $500 an acre
for 20 acres of his land, but refused
because the bidder would not agree to

GOODRICH COMPANY
Issues Challenge to Other Tire Manu.
facturesr in the United States.

In challenge issued to other tire
manufacturers, the b. f. Goodrich Co.
of Akron, o., declared itself willing 10
throw open its books and records to
an independent audit company if other
companies will do the same, that the
Goodrich Company can prove that II
manufactures more automobile and
truck tires combined than any other
concern in America. The challenge
states that the Goodrich Company
manufactured in the last year more
than 2,950,00 tires.
The formal wording of the challenge
follows:
ITO any rubber or tire manufacture
ing concern which claims production
and sale of as many auto and truck
tires combined (by any or all of its
United States factories) as were pro-
duced and sobl by the Aron. O., factory
of the b. +. Goodrich Company dur
ing the last fiscal year of each we ex-
tend this challenge.
I'VE will throw open our books and
records of tire manufacture and sale
to fair an impartial audit, supervised
by committee of three to be mutual
ly agreed upon, provided the competing
tire concern or concerns will do the
same.
I'VE will abide by the result of that
aU.lit, and agree that all rubber or
tire concerns who are parties thereto
be free to publish the certified find
ings of that audit as to the compare
tive volume of each company's com
bined auto and truck tire production
and sale.
I'VE confine the audit to the produc-
ton and sale of auto and truck tires
combined to those made in the Amer
can GU. S. Al factories of each con-
Germ, thus excluding our own foreign
factory and the foreign factories of all
competitors.
I'VE do this because the volume OF
those foreign factories cannot mate
rally help in lowering the cost OF
production and the selling of tires, as
made by the American factories OF
each. and because some American rub
Der concerns have no foreign factories
I'VE claim and know that the Akron
o., factory of the b. f. Goodrich Com
pany makes and sells more auto and
truck tires combined than any other
rubber factory in America GU. S. A.
or any rubber company which operates
five or more tire and rubber factories
in the United States.
I'VE extend this open challenge to
all the advertisers, who should now
either justify their claims for the larg-
est volume accepting this fair chal-
lenge or cease making such mislead-
ing claims"
Supplemental to the challenge is q
statement issued by the B. F. Goodrich
Company, i'm which il denies certain
reports that it had abandoned the
manufacturing of white rubber tires
because of prohibitive war prices for
white pigment, or for other reasons,
and is building the so-called black
tread barefoot" tire as a substitute
To support the denial the company de-
clares it has tons of white ingredients
necessary to build white rubber tires
on hand at market prices. and that il
knows where plenty more is available

MAIL DELIVERY BY
AEROPLANE PLANNED
Government to Open Bids for Service
in Nantucket and Alaska.

That the Aeroplane is destined to
become a constantly increasing factor
in our economic problems is clearly
shown by an article appearing in
Flying" from which is quoted in
part:
After FIVE years of continuous
efforts on the part of the Post Office
Depa rtment, few Congressman and
Senators, the Aero Club of America,
and afflicted aero clubs, and others,
the first step towards employing aero.
planes for mail carrying has been
taken.
"On Februsry,l2.. the United States
Fost Office Department issued an sd-
vertisement inviting proposals for
carrying "the mails of the United
States by aeroplane.
There are eight routes in the Off
cial announcement, one in Massachu-
sets, between Nantucket and New
Bedford, and seven in Alaska.
The time for these bids to be in
expires Nav IL. If the Post Office is
successful in getting bids for these
eight routes. then next year there
may be added between nifty and one
hundred other routes, where only the
aeroplane can solve the difficult prob
lens of mail transportation, by cut.
ting across canyons, mountains, and
other natural constructions, which
make it necessary, at the present time,
to make long detours, to say nothing
of the tremendous loss in time. In
some cases, the aeroplane accomplishes
in fifteen or twenty minutes what now
takes all the way from eighteen hours
to fifteen days, by the present method
of slow transportation.
The flying machine promises to be
one of the most potential factors in
the future development of Alaska and
of all places where the run of com
merce is slow on account of lack of
fast transportation. 1t needs neither
roads nor rails nor bridges; only land
ing places at convenient intervals

DELAYS ACTION
ON BLACKLIST
Administration to Await Re.
ply to Protest Before Con-
sidering Reprisals.

Administration officials said yesterday
that no action would be taken by this
government toward reprisals against the
British blacklist of American firms and
individuals until England replies to the
protest lodged with the London foreign
office by this government.
1t was asserted that several forms OF
reprisal have been considered informally.
There Is keen interest in Congress In the
blacklist situation.
The latest increase in the American list
were said by some officials to indicate
Great Britian's determination to go as
far in her aggressive policies AGAINST
Americas foreign trade as the United
1t is believed by some ofncials that re-
cent assurances given to this govern
ment by the British Ambassador upon
instructions from London that the opera
ton of the blacklist will not interfere
with domestic trade will not remove from
any person the fear that to carry on
trade with blacklisted firms will cause
him to be prescribed BY Great Britain.
1t Is thought that the moral intimida-
ton conveyed In the blacklist will serve
in place of express threats to prevent
even domestic trading with "ouuawed"
firms
