HOW IOLESSEN
TIRE EXPENSES

To aid motorists in cutting down
tire costs, The Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der Co., Akron, Ohio, announces the
publication of an entirely new and
complete set of tire service bulletins,
in which are set forth the various
ways of obtaining more satisfactory
tire service. ~, +.
A noticeable departure from Gus.
tom which has too largely prevailed
in literature advancing tire informa-
ton, of enumerating IAN array of
don Is" for the tire user, is, the posi-
tive viewpoint employed. The new
Goodyear bulletins, instead of outlin-
ing the usual ''don'ts" tell the mo-
florists just what to "do'' to get real
tire service. Valuable hints telling
how to add hundreds and even thou
sands of miles to the life of tires are
the keynotes throughout the series.
Naturally the more common tire
ills are treated-indiVidually and spe-
cifically-with full descriptions of just
why and how they occur. More en-
phasis, however, is laid upon the rem
edy, and what is more practical-the
means of prevention.
The new series of bulletins reflects
a knowledge Of tires and tire condi-
tons gained only through years Of
experience in the tire business. OBJ
viously, the information impaired can
not help rendering assistance Of great
value, to motorists.

Choose Idol, Then Love Him All the World Is Waiting
t.
To Greet Youth
By Winifred BI

What are you going to make Of
your life? It's there in your
hands, all fresh and fine and prom
ising, and it's all your own affair.
The world needs you as it never
needed you and your kind before
the poor, heartsick, worried. bleed
ing, miserable, frightened, tragic
world. 1t needs your love and your
pity, and your trust and your ten
der womanliness.
It needs your truth and your
loyalty, and your clean and honest
vision. It needs your high ideals,
it needs your belief in good and
your hatred of everything that is
evil and mean, and small and
grudginR, and cruel and cynical.
1t needs your honor and your
truth and your courage. What a
work there is waiting for you,
Sweet Sixteen. and what glory it
is to think that you're going to be
able to do it,
Nothing to be thankful for? Why,
there's everything-everything un-
der the. stars and everything on
earth-youth, hope, love. adven-
ture. thrift, success, disappoint-
ment. failure, sorrow and laughter
see, they're waiting for you at
the turn Of the glorious road.
The World Lies Waiting.
Don't try to turn one OF them
back-not even failure and sorrow,
for unless you meet and know
these two sisters you Will never
meet and know real SUCCESS and
real happiness.
There never was such a time in
the world as this time. Never such
a year as this year.
Every faculty you have. every
gift you possess, every little trick
OF manner and charm OF PERSONAL
ity-they're all needed-throw them
into the great, eager, lonely heart
OF the world as the women threw
they jewels when the country they
loved was in danger and needed
them.
Never mind how humbly you be-
gin; don't think Of yourself at all.
Think of your opportunities; COM
fort some lonely heart; inspire
some discouraged soul. Hold up
your head, Sweet Sixteen, and be
thankful this Thanksgiving Day.
For you are young and all the
world lies eager and waiting be-
fore you.
