there, it is there because it will aid to
support the quality fcst dictum of the
house of Gibney.
Nothing is left to chance. Every test
that science and human ingenuity can
devise is applied to each and every in
gredient-the proportions are figured
out to mathematical certainty 20
achieve the physical results desired.
1t is in the retreats of the scientists,
worthy of the alchemists of old, that
the compound formula comes forth, and,
scrupulousiy guarded, becomes the
guiding star for the work of tine com
pound room.
Here it is that the compromising pro-
portions of pure rubber. sulphur and
other ingredients are weighed out and
the physical making of the tire proper,
continues.
Direct from the compound room now
tagged and weighed to nicely. and
distinct unit in the system, the tire
in embyro goes into a mixing" and
milling" machine, ana is kneaded and
rolled and mixed on hot cylinders and
is prepared. like sheets of dark dough,
for the calendar room.
ished tire is taking place in another
part of the factory. The steel base On
which the tire is built must be copper
pla ated-rubbcr compounds do not take
kindly to steel-and the copper plating
department becomes an important fac
tor.
Then the bases are measured with
marvellous eXactitude--they must come
within the finish fraction to be accept
able-and they are ready for cement
coating as the closing preliminary to
the building of the tire.
Now It is the calendar room, and the
hard rubber base Is applied to the saw
like corruscations of the metal chan
mel base. 1t is rolled into place with
automatic precision and the tires given
fxity of foundation and a rlgidity
of basic resistance that road wear can
not weaken.
The next operation follows quickly
enough--the tread goes onto the hard
rubber base to the required thick
ness. 1t is a rapid building up of the
tire. but everything is gauged to a
nicely.
Promptly removed from the calendar
room, the tire must now be weighed
and trimmed to an exact fraction. There
can be no leeway-the moulds are eX-
act and the tire going into them can
carry so much material-no more no
! less.
Vulcanizing is the last, but by no
means the least process in the maxi
/ ing of the tire 1t is the curing, the
| hard rubber base and the compound
tread into a concrete, composite, bur-
dem carrying whole.
The tires are placed in individual
moulds, and these in turn are stack
4 ed into the cylindrical vulcanizers,
which extend their bulk through the
several factory floors. with the lids
clamped down. the heat is turned on
! This vulcanizing process is timed
with the precision of seconds-the Glib
ney chemists have fixed the heat and
/ time with their customary eXactitude
and the formula is carried out to the
! last hair.
/ Finally cured, removed from the
moulds and cooled off, slight edges re-
main to be buffed off here and there
and the finished tires are removed to

when they are offered for sale they
bring good prices and are invariably
taken quickly. This is because Ma
tionals. even those old in service have
a recognized value. Many prefer a
used National to mediocre new car.
There are many old Nationals in use
to-day. Try to buy one and you'll
learn that the original price repre-
sented intrinsic value, and that used
Nationals command high prices. When
the market price of a used car is COM
paratively high, it is a positive indi-
cation that the price of a new car was
based on actual value and was not an
arbitrary figure made for trading
THE very fact that a man is consid-
ering the National is evidence that he
desired something better than the ordi-
nary. There are many cars sold for
less. That this superiority is a tangible
thing is proved by the fact that Ma
tional sales have grown constantly for
fifteen years. This year National sales
increased more than 300 per cent"

Quality an Asset When
Used Cars Are Sold

due to the fact that an old car
must be considered in many sales
agreements, the buyer is often pre-
vailed upon to buy certain car simply
because a dealer will allow him a
seemingly excessive sum for his old
car" said J. NJ. Davidson. of the Penn
sylvania Auto Sales Company, Harris
burg distributors for National cars.
There are lots of cars to-day listed
for trading at prices that neither the
maker or dealer ever expected to re-
ceive. The buyer learns their real
value only when they fail to give the
service expected or when he tries to
dispose of the so-called bargain car for
cash in the open market.

SEWARD. ALASKA, THURSDAY, DEC. H. 1916

The question that occupied the thoughts of everyone yesterday perhaps called up by the German propoS- as to hold peace negotiations Iis of course the opinion of all who have given attention the matter that Great Britain cannot afford to make peace if she can avoid it. Even Germany agreed restoration of the status existing before the war Britain could accept the terms without at least great loss of prestige. Not only how eve would there be loss of prestige but loss of power as submarine developments during the war have begun to sound the death e of naval supremacy in great ships
 Great Britain cannot and will accept the offer of peace at present At least she and will not accept the offer of peace Germany would be prepared to make To make peace now Britain would have to take the posi- ton of one that came of second best for the first time in centuries She would have to consent to let the world know that stronger power has arisen in Europe, and this might well mean loss of prestige that would cause decay 10 set in Proud Britannia must fight on or get sick
 The possibility that Russia, France or Italy might agree to peace terms is not quite remote if all we up here can read about conditions has given the right inn preSSion Poor France has rather gained prestige than lost in the present war and loss of prestige to the brave Republic would mean only repetition of 181O- something to which she has become accustomed in her re- cent history Russia also has suffered humiliation in late years and the naton like the mdydua winch has suffer- ed one humiliation can easily stomach another Indeed, it is not unlikely that moral considerations instead of material ones will decide the fate of Bethman Hol wegs offer to get together. To quit now would be for Britain the stepping down. no matter how little, from pinnacle which she thought she had held Unlike either of ner allies she has been not accustomed to eat crow and lack of education to swallow such dish would make it bitterly unpalatabIe The British government and the British people will spum the chanceors offer This may be taken for granted unless Russia or France decides that the time has come to end the boodShed. Without the aid of France the British must leave French soil and without the aid of Russia the result would not be in doubt Do you think really that this is how matters sand-that not one but all the Entente nations must re- fuse the German offer the peace negotiations will take place?

Our War Sacrifice Still Greatest

r Europe viii undoubtedly be ruined
by the war II it continues much long
er. But it can stand a good deal of
ruin yet before it has shot away as
much of it's human and material
wealth as we destroyed in the Civil
war.
The direct cost for two years is
about $4,000, 600, 600. That is more
than ten times as much as the i'm
mediate cost of the Civil war to
North and South together, but 1t isn't
so great. considering the total wealth.
The $i,OOO,OOO 600 or more that our
great struggle cost was one-forth of
the estimated wealth of the nation.
The European belligerents have not
yet spent near One-fourth of their re-
sourses. 1t will take them year or
two longer to reach that point. 1t
would probably take them on an av-
erage, three or four years more to
reach the degree of exhaustion of the
confederacy when it finally gave up.
In men, too, Europe has not equal
ed our record. The Civil war engag-
ed altogether about eight percent of
our total population. The European
armies, vast as they are, appear to
number no more than four percent of
belligerent populations.
In other words, the sacrifices made
thus far by European belligerents are
only about half rs great rs those
we made half a century ago.-Fort

Office Seeks The Man

For the first time in many decades
the highest office in the gift of the
American people has sought a suit
able man to direct its affairs. Both
the candidates for the office of Presi-
dent OF the United States were Sc
lected by the almost unanimous vote
of their respective parties, and neither
of them made campaign for the
nomination.
Our politics would be immeasur-
ably improved If the precedent set
by these, perhaps the highest types
of American citizens, were followed
by others, and if campaigning for
nomination should render the candl-
date unworthy and disqualify him
in the minds of the people.
1t is repugnant to the finer sense
of the people to hear a man singing
his own praises, that he only out of
one hundred million people possesses
the ability to fill the Office Of chief
executive. In the nomination of
Hughes and Wilson the people have
chosen the strongest men in the
nation and will not be disappointed
in the election of either. Both are
known to be conservative,fo forceful and
to possess unusual executive ability.
Neither is mighty mimrod and
neither feels that the perpetuity of
the nation is dependent on his cleo
ton to office.
The whole life of Judge Hughes,
both public and private, is an open
book. He is in every way qualified
to maintain the high standard of the
American nation and to direct its
course in n most satisfactory way.
His party is to be commended on his
nomination.
President Wilson has fully demon
strated his unusual ability as nation
builder. At perhaps the greatest
crisis our country has ever experience
ed, he has not only proven himself n
diplomat fully equal to any emergen-
cy, but has also had enacted more
efficient constructive legislation dur
ing his three year term than has ever
before been done by any chiel execu :
tive. He enjoys the confidence of the
people and will continue to receive
their support.-Westernm Farm Life

A young woman who had recently
taken charge of u small kindergarten
entered n trolley car the other day,
and as she took her seat she smiled
pleasantly at a gentleman sitting OPP
posite. He raised his hat, but it was
evident that he did not know her.
Realizing her error, she said in
tones audible throughout the entire
car:
"Oh, please excuse me! I mistook
you for the father of two of my chill

DEPOSITS INCKEASE'
IN MICHIGAN BANKS.
DEPOSITS GROW $t14,4es,552 LAST
YEAR SAYS REPORT OF BANK
ING COMMISSIONER
MANY BANKS ON HONOR ROLL
In the Six Months Ending Dec. 81,
the Gross Earnings Of Banks and
Trust Companies Were
S11,416.671.

Lansing-Deposits, both savings
and commercial, in the Michigan state
banks and trust companies, have in
creased S114,49S.552 in the last year,
as shown by the report of Nov. II,
issued by Banking Commissioner
Frank w. Merrick.
The increase is divided as follows:
Commercial deposits, $40 ,S54,021, and
savings deposits, $65. .144,191.
The banks also are increasing their
earnings. In the six months ending
December 81, the gross earnings OF
the banks and trust companies were
s11,416.671. The net earnings jumped
from $2,341,77O for the first six
months.
The net earnings for the year to-
tailed $6,1SS,147, which is 1.23 per
cent on the average capital, surplus,
undivided profits and deposits of $685.
930,365. The dividends paid in the
same time amounted to S3,659,554,
6.58 per cent on an average capital
and surplus Of $50, ,4S6,372.
The loans made by the banks have
increased but not in proportion to the
deposits. From the report OF one
year ago there is an increase of $685.
427,745 in loans, divided as follows:
Commercial loans and discounts, S33,
67,879; savings loans and discounts
s18,17S,969; commercial bonds and
mortgages, $5.S96.591; savings bonds
and mortgages, S35,9S4.304.
The total reserve maintained by the
banks on November II was $11S,222,
$40, or 2217 per cent. The total cash
reserve amounted to $38,026,S7O, oi
e.S3 per cent. In the division of the
reserves these percentages are follow
ed: Commercial legal reserves, 27.et
per cent; commercial cash reserve
8.79 per cent; savings legal reserve
1897 per cent; savings cash reserve
sos per cent. The total reserve o.
the state banks and trust companies
Is S32,642,00 over the requirement:
OF the banking law.
Based on savings deposits OF $315,
076,571, the mortgage and bond invest
ments exceed the amount required b!
law by s55,714,053. The savings in
vestments, together with the savingI
reserve, exceed the savings deposits
by $11 ,4S9,S75.
Fifty-two banks were placed on th'
roll of honor by reason OF the fac
that on the day the call was ISSUED

LLOYD-GEORGE MAKES { EBUT
Allies to Fight Until Prussian Threat
Ends Says British Premier in Long
Speech In House Of Commons.

Londong-"Tell us your terms!"
"Give us guarantees for the peace
of Europe from the swash-buckling OF
Prussian militarism-guarantee surer
than those you have broken"
"Then and not until then will the
Allies treat with you with regard to
ending the war;"
Reduced to it's sum and substance
that is the answer OF Great Britain
and her allies to the Central powers
proposal to enter into negotiations for
peace. II was given by Lloyd-George
in the house Of commons.
AS for the Allies terms-the only
terms on which they will give peace
negotiations a thought-the premier
set them down thus:
Without reparation peace is i'm.
possible. The Allies insist that the
only end of the war must be complete
guarantee against Prussian militarism
disturbing the peace of Europe"
And with a ringing note of bitter
irony he added:
"All the outrages on land and sea
cannot be liquidated by few pious
phrases about humanity"
At the pinnacle of his political ca.
reer, in his debut before the house OF
parliament as premier and virtual war
dictator OF Great Britain, Lloyd.
George delivered his long-expected ad.
dress before a house thronged to its
capacity and amid deep, almost rever-
entail silence, which was however,
broken repeatedly by thunderous
cheering.
The substance of his declaration, he
announced, would be sent to Germany
within a few days. II was not only
England's answer, the prime minister
emphasized; 1t was England's "clear
and definite support to the identical
statements already given by Russia
and France.
II was not fat-footed, defiant re-
lection of peace, this remarkable
speech by England's strongest man.
which the world had waited breath
lessly for eight any Gus days to read
II was en- unqualified rejection OF
the Central powers proffer as II now
stands. For this proffer in its present
shape is moose, with the ropes end
in Germany's hands" Thus Lloyd
George described it-and the Allies
don't propose to put their heads into
IT."
