CUBAN STANDARD
FOR TIREsQUEER

American motorists have become so
accustomed To reckoning the life Of
their tires IN terms of miles that
many OF them will undoubtedly be sur
prised TO learn that in Cuba. where
American S&tomoSiles have rapidly
been increasing in numbers. actual
mileage service is rarely taken into
consideration. II is seldom that the,
Cuban mctorist can tell you the mile
age of any OF his tires. as the worth
OF an automobile tire Is based almost
entirely on the length OF time il has
been in service.
This unusual manner of determ-
lining tire satisfaction is we'll iHustrat.

LET'S BE COURTEOUS
WHILE ON THE ROAD

Courtesy on the road is a negligible
quantity with some tourists, and the
average man driving car and trying
in every way to obey speed laws re-
ceiyes scanty courtesy. In fact, some
some tourists who are openly break
Ing the laws revile the men who are
doing their best to observe the letter
of the statutes.
In some sections, and in fact along
many of the main travelled highways
that old gag of -four miles an hour"
or @eight miles an hour" or some
other nonsensical ruling regarding the
speed that shall be maintained, has
given way to q politely worded re-
quest that the tourist drive in safe
way at all times. There is no stipu-
lation regarding speed, no~threat to
arrest any one caught breaking the
foolish speed laws. and the tourists
are placed upon their honor.
In spite of this thoughtfulness on
the part of the municipalities there
are tourists who will go through a
town or city like cyclone and then
hide behind the claim that no limit Of
ep6ed was named. The tourist who is
trying TO earn his welcome by going
at moderate speed is reviled by those
thcughtless speed fiends who do not
appreciate the fact that they have
been supposed to have some honor.
After tourists have passed through
such cities as have placed them on
honor they find large sign, Thank
you" and the man who has done
right, according to his way of think.

prosperity should not be permanent
says Sales Manager RueSchaw OF the
REQ Motor Car Company.
1T is possible you know, to keep

Europe has poured more than
three billions Of dollars into Ameri

since all munitions contracts are for
three years, will continue to pour in
for some time. III. ..=.a" .
That money is here and there's no
reason why it should not stay here.
Europe is in dire necessity for certain
things we could make and sell, and
she is paying us for them. There is
nothing Europe makes that we must
have, therefore there is no valid rea-
son why that money should go back.

side their regular product s..
Il have in mind several concerns
and one in particular, whose business
was making automobile parts. That
concern took on large contract Tor
fuses and let the regular business go
for the time being. But today the
head of that concern says the plant
would have made twice the money
had it continued to supply regular
customers with its standard product.
Now, in this case, the cessation
Of the strife or the other side will
rot mean a slump, but simply re-
turn to normal conditions and normal
profits. ~
The very fact that everybody feels
keenly the shortage of certain arti-
cles of every day use, is the best in
dication that the factories which for
merly made them have been diverted
to the making of war munitions.
. "The fact that there is such a
shortage shows that there is waiting
plenty of demand for the staple arti-
cles from these plants. ~.
Summing it UP in a word, I'd ex-
press it this way: We have enjoyed
five years demand in one years
time. That has resulted in empty
shelves. And empty shelves is the
best possible preface to prosperity"

Maine is learning q lesson. Per
haps Hawaii viii take advantage OF
the fact that bad roads are not Only
a poor investment but cost real mon
ey. Maine has been dependent for q
number of years to a certain extent
on the tourist traffic to that state in
the summer. The tourist traffic in
Maine has fallen off. The reason is
bad roads.
Before the automobile had grown
to be a necessity Maine entertained
thousands of tourists who were in the
habit of spending weeks and months
in that state hunting and fishing. Tie
hunting and fishing are still there,
but the people have become used 10
good roads and the tourists now look
for some summer playground where
they can get around easily. When
the time comes to think of the timer
airy for the summer the motorist and
wealthy tourist passes up the sections
where the roads are poor.
Motor Factor.
More and more the automobile is
becoming factor in tourist business.
Good roads naturally become of in
creasing importance to those who
would profit by the tourists trade. 1t
is of importance that points of in
terest should be backed by good
roads. California has captured much
of the business, because that state
has realized the advantages of build
ing perfect highways.
The trips of the Great Northern to
Honolulu last year proved that tour
lists wanted to come to visit a place
where the things OF interest could be
found But statistics showed that the
Great Northern carried fewer auto.
mobiles on the last two trips than on
the first two voyages. This may be
laid to the publicity given the roads
in Hawaii. Tourists on returning ad.
vised their friends not to take their
automobiles here.

The newest automobile motor truck
to enter the market is the Hudford.
The Hudford is a unit for convert

frame, an internal gear-driyen rear
axle, with semi-elliptic truck springs
and a heavy pressed steel channel

replaces the rear construction Of the
Ford car. 1t surrounds and is attach

Butler High School Among the
Best in the Sta e.

Mr.. Gordon Neale of the Stat

inspected our High School. Hi
report is as follows:
Mr.. j. E. Harper, Sec'y.
Board of Education,
Butler Missouri.
Gentlemen:
! After examination of the re-
port of my Inspector, l am contin
uing Butler on the list of First
Class high schools.
The report shows that there is
an excellent spirit in your high
school and that your students
seem to be working we'll. l desire
to make the following recommen-
dations. ,--.-=.
l. You are in Immediate need
Of at least $50 worth of reference
books for history. / recommend
that you set aside certain
amount each year to spend for
reference books for your high
school.
2. Since you have such large
class in Agriculture and do not
require students to get texts, I
recommend that you get duplicate
copies of the books YOU now have
on hand in that subject.
3. If there is any increase in
your high school enrolment you
will need another high school
teacher next year.
4. If possible you should add a
course in Domestic Science for
the girls of your high school.
Very truly yours,
Howard A. Glass;.
Mr. Neale came especially to in
spect the Teacher Training work.
It was his opinion that our school
is well equipped for this work.
He told. me in private that he
found the pupils earnest, enthusil
lstic and thorough in their
work. He said that our class |
would rank among the upper
fourth Of such classes in the state.
