SALOONS CLOSING.
In Last Six Months 653 Have Been
Forced to Close in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dee. 6.-Without casting
single vote Chicago has won a big
ger victory and has put more than
three times as many saloons out of
business than the record brea king dry
election of Nov. 90 did in Los An
geles: 81
Since 1905, when the Harkin ordi-
nance was passed, 1907 saloons have
been forced to quit in Chicago. Los
Angeles, in its spectacular election,
polled plurality dry vote of 10000,
yet closed only coo saloons. Already
in Chicago enough saloons for a city
the size of St. Louis have been closed
due to the Sunday closing law and
other causes.
At the time of the Harkin law s pas
sage there were 1907 saloons in Chi
cago. This ordinance provided that
there be no more licenses issued until
the number was reduced to one for each
800 inhabitants. Six months after the
Harkin ordinance became effective, in
May, 1906, the number of saloons had
fallen off to 1853 because of the rails
ing of the license fee to $1,000.
This was followed by general de
cline until July, 1915, when the Sunday
closing law was placed in effect. Al
that time there were 1850 saloons in
the city.
In the last six months 653 saloons
have been forced to close. In Nav OF
this year Chicago had 1858 saloons
Today there are 5000 Within the
next few months at least 700 Other
saloonkeepers are expected to "giv,

terday il adopted. President Thomas
offered every man in the institution a
wood cutting job at regular wages on
5000 acres of forest land owned by
the college. He will provide lodging
by re-opening a summer hotel on
Breadloaf mountain. Although the
country about Middlebury is thickly

DIAMOND TIRES ARE
STILL IN USE AFTER
GOING $4,000 MILES

al tire mileage records for Arizona
ana the southwest, as far as is
known, are now being shattered by
two Diamond Ford Special 3l-4 tires
on a Mahlon Brown delivery track
To date. these tires have a record of
$4,000 miles and are still going strong
Until the past few months, TO-
000-niile tire record Was considered
a wonderful performance. In fact 1
tire that last 5000 miles was recog-
nized as an exception rather than the
rule.
During the past few months, how
ever, some wonderful records have
been made by Diamond tires on 10
cally owned passenger autos and
trucks. But the performance of the
two tires on the rear wheels of the
Brown truck is considered the most
remarkable performance Of durability
and resistance ever demonstrated by
tires
The lasting qualities OF these tires
is all the more remarkable when ii
is considered that they have been in
constant use for many months trav :
ersinS ell kinds of roads throughout
the valley, going through sand, over
rocks and then on the smooth dirt
and paved roads. The truck has also
been driven. to r lalg sc extent through
alleys in ,nis city.

FILMS OF THE WAR. Both England and France Make "M0v- ies of War Scenes to Quicken
 Popular Interest.

London, Oct. 1S.-To it's thousand and one activities the British war office has now added the ownership and management of British film business. The entire control of the issue of what is known to the moving picture world as the topical budget has passed into the hands of the army council for the duration of the war.
 The idea of putting out official top ical pictures twice week, lllustfat ing in the various happenings on the fronts, and incidents in this country connected with the war, comes rom France. where the government declo- ed some time ago regularly to issue films from the front as a means ol keeping public interest steady Ill the progress of the war, and stlmuia'e public support for it's prosecution.
 Starting as strictly natlohal sur yey of wars doings, the war office topical budget has blossomed into an international concern by system or interchange with the allies, so that now it presents to the British public scenes from every front on which the allies are fighting except the Rus- sian.
