GOODYEAR COMPANY HAS WIRELESS PLANT.
Tire Concern Finds Wireless Practical Between Akron
 and Detroit

Tires and wireless telesraphy-the two
 would not be suspected of association,
 yet sending wireless messages long ago ceased to be a luxury with the Goodyear
 Tire and Rubber company of Akron, O.,
 Wireless plays large part in the com panys business.
 About three years ago the company conceived the idea of using wireless to save time in communicating with it's of- flee in Detroit, where millions of tires are sold each year. The acceptance of large orders sometimes swings upon the pivot of saving few minutes in acquaint- ing the Akron factory with the detailed facts and conditions. The saving that the wireless has many times effected has been incalculable, and has long since vindicated it's use.
 Among private corporations Goodyear was the pioneer in installing wireless station, just as she has pioneered many of the tire features, which have brought tires to their present day efficiency, Other concerns. noting the success of the venture, promptly followed Goodyear's s lead.
 However, Goodyear still remains alone among the rubber manufacturing com panies of the country in the use of wire less service.
 Last summer when the Society of Auto mobile Engineers held it's convention on the s. S. Noronic, in the Georgian Bay, one of the features of the convention was the daily paper published on board | the steamer. News of the outside world was furnished by the Goodyear Detroit l wireless station.
 | The equipment is unique in having three coils arranged in series to give | a flow of constant intensity So even and | s .f<<,, | can receive and transpose at the same ! time on the typewriter Messages are ] often transmitted to Detroit and an answer returned in 10 minutes. record
 of four minutes has been established for ] this performance.

Dead at Age of 1O7
From the New York World.

FTUIIl CHe NEW 1OTK w UTIu.
 Connersville, Ind.-The oldest man in Fayette county, Andrew Massey, is dead at his home in Orange, at the age of 107 years. He was born in Everton, Fayette county, in April, 1908, and spent his en- tire life within a few miles of his birth place. He farmed in small way and liked to be out of doors, even tending a little garden all by himself after he passed the age of 100 years.
 It was not generally known here that a man of such age was living, his home being in the extreme southwest corner of the county. The records of his birth, his own belief of his age, and the remem- bered testimony on the subject of old men whom Massey outlived, causes the firm belief that he actually lived to the age of 107 Massey fought In the Mexi- can war and in the civil war

How to Shed 8 Rough,
 Chapped or Blotchy Skin

This is what you should do to shed a bad complexion: Spread evenly over the lace, covering every inch of skin, thin this stay on over night, washing it off next morning. Repeat daily until your complexion is as clear, soft and beauti- evitable, no matter how soiled or with cred the complexion. The wax literally absorbs the filmy surface skin, exposing the lovely young skin beneath. The pro- cess is entirely harmless. so little of the old skin coming off at time. Mercol- 1zed wax is obtainable at any cruz store; one ounce usually suffices. It's a veritable wonder-worker for faSsI, chapped, reddened,. blotchy, pimpled, freckled or sallow skin.
 Pure powdered saxo1ite is excellent for a wrinkled skin. An ounce of it dis- solved in half-pint witch hazel makes the skin quite firm and smooth; indeed the very first application erases. the finer lines the deeper ones soon follow.

English of the Diamond

From the Saturday Evening Post.
 In the National league is an umpire who is a stickler for correct deport- ment oh the diamond. In a game in which he officiated at the Polo grounds early in the season, as Chief Meyers the Indian catcher for New York, came to mat, certain of the Boston players sitting on their bench began to guy the brawny red man.
 In an instant the umpire had left his place behind the catcher and was running toward the visitors bomb proof.
