what HAPPENED TO
The BABY Girl The
TOMMIES FOUND IN ditch
BY Wilbur 5. FORREST.

United Press Stal Correspondent.
LONDON, March lO-CBy MaD-
Phyllis Trenches, bright blue-eyed,
fiaxen-haired baby girl Of four, today
at Bedford. England. is the principal
figure in perhaps the most romantic
little story OF the big war.
Phyllis is the adopted pride and
soy OF the BedfOrdshire Regiment. Her
given name was derived from one
Private Phillip Impey, who picked her
out Of a ditch in an isolated and un-
romantic part OF northern France.
while the BedfOrdshires were march
ing by. Trenches is the only ap-
prOpriate surname for Phyllis. be-
cause Phyllis lived with her soldier
foster parents in a cold and clammy
trench on the firing line for eight long
days.
When and how this four-year-old
happened To be in a ditch. wet and
weak from cold. as Private lmpey's
company was passing toward the first
line trenches, probably never will be
explained. 1t was Impoy,s however.
who stepped out of line to gather the
child in his arms lmpey was told by
an officer moment later that he
would either have to leave the little
girl or take her along So Phyllis
went to the trenches. Within three
days she had recovered from exposure
and was the pet of the company, both
officer and men. Infant clothing had
appeared, seemingly from nowhere,
but there was suspicious evidence that
more than one khaki uniform had
lost It's shape i'm favor Of the Daughter

were Phyllis. and there wasn't sol
dier who wouldn't have cut off leg
TO make her happy.
The German trenches were 150
yards away. One day Phyllis was

boldly toddling in "No Mans Land"
toward the German lines The Ger

I instant to risk their lives for Phyllis.
Two. who were quicker than the rest
ran forward and got her. and not a
shot was fired. After that Phyllis
venturod over the parapet several

harm her. and there was an under

took great pride in fathering Phyllis
while the company did duty on the

was soon the pet OF the patients and

GOODRICH SETS new
SINGLE IN AUTO Tires
Classy Black TreadS Are
Winning Favor of
Motorists

The classy" looking black tread
tires that you are beginning TO see so
frequently on the roads and avenues
these days are but the start of q fash
ion in automobile tires, credit for
whose sudden great popularity is
claimed by the B. f. Goodrich Com
pany. Akron Ohio.
when We first came out with the
Barefoot rubber automobile tire a
few months ago" Jays an official Of
the B. i. Goodrich Company. there
were no black tread tires on the mar
ket, except Silvertown Cord tires,
which we alone manufacture. under
exclusive patents.
"On January I there were no black
tread tires on the market except these
same Silvertown Cord tires (Which we
are not yet equipped to produce in
half the quantity the market calls
fOr), and Goodrich fabric tires, made
from the self-same Barefoot rubber"
as we have been putting into the
treads Of Goodrich Silvertowns. but l
suppose there will be a crop Of "black-
tread" tires shortly.
I'VE are anxious to have the MOTOR
ing public know that the essence Of
Goodrich Barefoot rubber" value to
consumers lies not in the color but
in its cOmposition-in its especially
devised texture. flexibility, cling
quality, stretch, lightness and resi-
lience of this Barefoot rubber" alloy.
which. through years of research. the
Goodrich Company developed to match
the marvellous flexibility. residence
and power conservation of Goodrich
"Silvertown" tires.
Color alone would have been little
help to us in making Silvertown Rub
Der Treads stand-up in the tremend-
GUS endurance tests which the 100
mile-per-hOur-races of 1915 provided
Goodrich Fabric Tires are black
only because we elected that color
primarily for distinction and associa-
ton with our Silvertown Cord Tires
This distinction has resulted in their
becoming quite the rage if such a
term is applicable to tires. But theil
black color has nothing whatever tc
do with their quality.
