lie never did hear her name but
once again. From that moment,
Sept. %, 1907, till the day he
died, May IL, 1863, he never heard
her name again. For that half CEN
fury or more he was a man with
out a country.
Old Morgan, as said, was terri
bly, shocked. If Nolan had com
pared George Washington to Bene-
dick Arnold, or had cried, God
save King George" Morgan would
not have felt worse. He called
the court into his private room and
returned in fifteen minutes, with
a face like a sheet, to say
Laughed at His Sentence
Prisoner, hear the sentence of
the court. The court decides. sub
Ject to the approval Of the Presi-
dent, that YOU never hear the name
of the United States again"
Nolan laughed. But nobody else
laughed. Old Morgan was too SOL
emn, and the whole room was dead
as night for minute. Even Nolan
lost his swagger i'll a moment.
Then Morgan added:
Mr.. Marshal, take the prisoner
to Orleans in an armed boat and
deliver him to the naval com
mander there"

GREAT DENSITY OF BROWN TUBES
 GOODRICH TEST

The same qualities which determine the excellence of high grade steel, strange as it may seem, also deter mine the value of an auto tube. Like fine steel, a Goodrich brown tube is known by it's tensile strength, for rubber differs greatly in this un- 1 usual quality.
 Secondly, like steel elasticity is a cardinal virtue in the finished tube. The same spring pack that means the life of the steel gives the value to
 rubber.
 The combination of these two lead , ing assets gives durability, reliability and long service, whether the finished product is steel spring or a racing tube
 Density, which gives great value to steel plays a no less important part in a high grade tube The greater the density of rubber the less likelihood there is of the possibility of porous ness, the bug-bear in tuoe making. To eliminate pinholes or porosity, 1 all Goodrich tubes are laminated as steel is laminated with the exception that the process of vulcanizing the several layers of rubber blends them : into one homogeneous mass. A fin ished Goodrich tube comes from the cure one integral piece of rubber made from q number of plies and by i this construction assures the best pos sible product
 Prepared rubber is an extremely variable quantity for the Goodrich company alone has over sixteen thou sand different combinations for pre- pairing rubber for their vast range of products.
 Naturally, the requirements demand ed of an auto tube called for a special combination, and after much eXperi- ence in tube making in which the Goodrich gray tube maintained the i standard for many years the advent | of tremendous speed on the racing
 track brought forward another factor the need of a tube that could with stand tremendous strain and great 1 heat.
 1 The result was that the Goodrich 1 brown tube made of heavy, leather 1 like responsive brown rubber, made l it's appearance and established it's 1 supremacy. With very few exceptions l it carried the air nevery important victory, and established the reputation l of being the supreme racing tube. 1 Such recognition has given the mo- ! toring public desire to follow the | lead of the racing drivers, and the l Goodrich brown tube is proving it's 1 supervalve to the tourist on the roads all over the country
