MIC HELM UNIVERSAL TREAD
IS THE POPULAR TIRE

The Michelin Tire Company of Mill
town, New Jersey, brought out new
tire little over year ago, known
as the Universal Tread Casing. Mr.
Kenneth Hermann of the York Auto
Company, local agents, for Michelin
Tires, says that this new tire in gen
eral construction and method Of man
ufacture, is similar in it's fully round
ed shape and extra thick tread to the
Micheln racing type that won such
high repute in the days of automobile
road racing.
The tread of the Michelin Universal
is made ug OF a series of letter
ms, the outer surfaces OF which are
broad and fiat. thus presenting TO the
ground very long wearing tread sur
face. The sides of these letter ms"
are not rounded but are square so
rat the an" tread remains clearly
defined until the tread is worn away.
The Michelin Universal is casing
regards the carcass. For example.
these tires are made up OF from five
to eight plies of fabric, depending on
the size, instead of from four to
seven plies as are generally consid-
cred sufficient Then there are two
breaker strips instead of one. which
is said TO add a good deal to the dura-
bility of the tire.
The York Auto Company now has
a full stock of these tires on hand

THE Y.M.C.A.
FINANCIAL
CAMPAIGN
TO Be HELD
FEB. I TO 9

At a Joint meeting of the board of
directors and the finance committee
held on last Sunday afternoon, it was
definitely decided to hold the annual
campaign for sustaining members on
Feb. 7th, Sth and 9th, and the team
captains were chosen as follows: o..
Il. Sidebottom, Jno. Hamilton, L. A.
Duff, A. e. Sharman, r. 5. Beall, c. \.
I.inkins, r. J. Craig and c. II. Rau.
The executive committee will be as
follows: G. L. Hardy, c. H. Wilkin-
son, Jno Hamilton, c. II. Rau, r. w.
Foster, L. E. Sidebottom, d. Z. Glib
son, r. S. BeaI and ]. w. Rogers.
one of the things which Influenced
the directors great deal in selecting
the above dates was en- account of the
fact that W. S. Hopkins, state secre-
tary of the Y. NJ. c. A, signified his
intention of being here at that time
and the committee felt that on account
of his experience in matters of this
kind his services would be very yalu-
able.
The association has made splen-
did showing during the past year and
feels no hesitancy in going before the
people and asking for the usual lib
eral support that it has been given
during the past two years since the
new building was erected.
II is not the intention of the COM
mittee to make a general solicitation
of everyone in the community. but it
desires to secure enough sustaining
membership pledges of S25 or more
TO take care of the subscription end
of the associations budget. Every
person who gives S25 to the work of
the association not only pays for his
own member ship. but contributes
about SO to help pay for the cost of
extending its privileges TO boys who
only pay fee of So per year. Last
year there were five people who gave
500 each. seven who gave $50 each
and fifty-five who gave S25. II is
hoped that the same plan will be car
Iied out this year. The committee
does not expect to ask any one per
son to contribute more than 500.
Colorado Springs recently closed a
campaign for current expenses, in
which $4,000 was pledged, a number
of subscribers giving 5000.

directors of the Canon City. Y. NJ. c.

is hoped that these will be looked
over carefully by all who receive
them, so that when called upon for a
subscription everyone may be ready
and willing to respond.
1t is expected that Mr.. Hopkins will
arrive on Tuesday evening. Feb. 9Th,
at which time the workers will meet

instructions for carrying on the cam
paign.
