Ralph Lindsay Writes
From New York City

Mr.. and Mrs. W. B. Lindsay have re-
ceived word from their son Ralph, that
he had arrived at New York all o. k.
He is with Co. E, 411th Telegraph Bat
talon, S. O. and has been stationed at
the Preside, at Monterey, California.
since last July. He writes:
Camp Merritt, N. J..
Dear Mother and all:
Have arrived all safe and sound in a
camp again, and it sure seems good to
get these old No. 10's on land once
more.
We sailed from Frisco on Jan. Gath.
1t took us seven days to make Panama.
Had fine trip the sea was not rough
and no signs of any storms. Some of the
boys were sick. At Panama we each had
six hours shore liberty. We went over
to Panama City. 1t was a great town.
The houses are built a great deal like
Chinatown, with about a hundred in a
house, and they sure are black. The
streets are about half as wide as thew
are in Salem, and the sidewalks about
three times as dirty. We went on
great sight seeing trip and had big
feed then stocked up in candy and
cookies and by that time we had to re-
turn to the ship. We went thru the Canal
in day time. 1t was a great sight. The
locks are wonderful and the scenery is
grand. The first pretty green trees I
have seen since I left Salem. 1t would
be hard for me to describe it all on pa
per, so win wait until get home and
tell you all about it.
The weather was extremely hot. After
we left Colon and going thru the Carl
bean sea it was very rough, most Of the
boys we've sick and would liked to have
got off and walked. We stopped once to
signal to another ship and believe me,
that old ship stood right on end. was
not sick any time during the trip. After
we got into the Atlantic we had very
smooth sea again and everybody was
feeling fine. The weather got cooler and
when we got to New York there was
snow and ice on everything. But every
body was glad to get there, as we were
anxious for feed, (and by the way, if
you know of anyone going over for the
Love of Mike tell them to take some-
thing along to eat.) We were eighteen
days on the trip, thus finishing the first
lapp of our journey to France. We are
in nice warm barracks here. About
forty of the boys came overland with
our equipment so we have been having
a regular family reunion since we ar
rived. We have had no mail from
home since leaving Monterey. Our mail
is all in New York, dom know if we
will get any before we leave here or
not. Will write again in few days.
With love,

GOOD TIRES FOR TEN
DOLLARS CANNOT BE FOUND

fore it is ready to be built into tire.
Each one of these processes naturally
costs money, with the result that the
fabric part of tire alone costs a very
pretty penny. Rubber is not so expen-
sive today as it was, but it still costs
very definite sum per pound-and a
good many pounds must be used in every
casing.
emo man has right to buy cheap
tire, because in doing SO he not only
risks his own life but he also leopard
ICES the lives of others. The man who
bought ten dollar tire and had blow
out in ten minutes was fortunate. Sup
pose for instance, the tire held out long
enough for him to take his family out
for Sunday afternoon drive and he
should be bowling merrily along the
highway when the tire blew out and
threw them all into the ditch, with per-
haps loss of life. Such things happen
every day. In these days of congested
traffic no man has right to buy tire
that is apt to blow out any minute and
is liable to cause an accident to the man
driving a car behind him.
81 have been connected with the rub
Der industry for number of years, and
1 can say positively that the reputable
tire manufacturer to-day is using every
effort to build a Jlre that is worth
every cent that he asks for it. Consider
the resources that the rubber companies
of Akron have. Here at the Miller we
have a score or so Of chemists who do
nothing all day long but experiment
with rubber, who test and probe into the
cotton fabric in every conceivable way.
Every inch of fabric that comes into
this mill and every ounce Of rubber
used in the construction of Miller tire
is put to the severest test and subjected
to the most careful scrutiny by experts.
The factory superintendent knows ex-
actly the quality Of gum and fabric that
he is working with, and further, he has
the assurance that both the fabric and
rubber measure up to the specifications
decided upon by the engineering depart

FORTY FIRST YEAR No. At
By Burton s. Brown
(In New York Sunl

Unusual interest has been shown by
reputable tire people and the motoring
public in The Sun s exposure of cheap
imitation tires and dishonest tire deal
ers who have been giving automobile
owners so much trouble. And the hon
est tire manufacturers are mighty glad
motorists are interested, because the in
difference of the latter has made pos
sible the ready sale of bad tires.
AS was pointed out in the other stor-
les, the big manufacturers spend much
cash to give motorists their money IS
worth Of mileage, and therefore can be
trusted to offer the very best there is
in the line of automobile footwear. They
have the inclination and the facilities
to do what is right. Therefore why
should there be any doubt about the
kind of tires to buyY Tires that have
a good name to live up to will always
be your best buy.
Clyde S. Thompson of tie Miller Rub
Der company presents some interesting
information on the subject of manufac-
turing coats. He writes as follows:
81 read with considerable pleasure
the highly interesting and instructive
story in The Sun entitled Beware of
the Cheapest Tires
81 don It blame the tire dealers who
sell shoddy tires quite SO much as L do
the man who buys the tires. Any man
who has capacity enough to earn money
to buy an automobile should have sense
enough to know that he can It get some
thing for nothing. The trouble is that
most of these men who are strong for

think that they can scent tire bar
gain mile off. They are prone TO feel
that the average tire made by tire
manufacturer of stability sells for too
much money.
"The average man doesn't give his
tires any credit at all. In the first place,
he believes that they cost him too much,
and in the second place he is certain
hat he doesn't get enough mileage out
of them. Usually after he has abused
his tires and has had long service he
goes back to the tire adjuster and ro-
mances like gentleman about the mile
age he has received. l often wonder
at the patience of the tire companies.
"If a man would stop to think Of the
price of the materials that go into the
making up of the tire he would under
stand that $40 will not go very far In
purchasing a tire. In the first place,
there are several pounds of sea island

Lieutenant Dana H. Allen
Writes From French Front
to Brothers and Sisters

The following interesting letter was
recently received by Mrs. ]. H. Miller,
from her brother, Lieut.. Dana H. Allen,
Co. M, of Salem:
Somewhere in France"
Jan. q, 1918.
My dear sister and brother and all:
received your very fine letter adj
dressed to Hampstead, about a week
ago, and this is the first opportunity
that | have had to answer it.
We received our first mail about one
week ago. had several letters and got
the package that Marie sent, but did
not receive the one you sent.
l had very nice time in New York,
and it is surely great city. Attended
several theatres. Saw "Jack- -O-Lan-
term" and John Drew and Margaret
Ellington in Gaye Lord c., also Lady
Duff Gordon and "Miss 1917, saw the
leading notable points of interest to the
tourists.
Our camp could have been much bet
ter, but presume they did not intend it
for a winter camp. 1 had very pleas
ant trip over; the ocean was quite mild
and I did not get sea sick, although
had cold to start in on. Everything
was most interesting on arrival and this
is delightful country. The French peo-
pie appear very cheerful and gay, and
the boys and girls have great times
playing. They have kind of ball game
and other games similar to ours.
On nice Sundays many people are out
walking. When we first arrived it was
cold and showing and disagreeable, but
now it is warm. The climate is very SIM
liar to that of Oregon. believe that the
spring will be little earlier here.
We have nice warm quarters in bar
racks and our food is very good. All
the men are in the best Of spirits. I hope
that everybody raises good crops in the
U. s. and that there is plenty Of coal
to transport things.
We get daily papers here and conse.
quently keep informed on the news of
the world. think the war will last sew
eral years at the least, and the govern
ment needs the loyal support of every
body to carry it to complete success. To
make peace without complete victory
would be folish, as we would have to re-
peat the whole operation over again and
at a great cost The administration is
handling things admirably I believe, as
O whole.
1 have heard from Marie ana Mother.
1t is hard to be separated, but l would
hate not to be in the fight.
I am writing to Allen SO will close. I
would like to sit down to some of your
ham and eggs about now, and drink
some good milk. Tell Elizabeth to write
to me, too.
Love to all, from your brother and
uncle,

MAXWELL AGAIN BREAKS
RECORD.

Maxwell regained its coveted Mount
Wilson laurels recently wrested from it
by a high-powered twelve-cylinder car
when, Friday morning, Walter Lord sent
his peppery four-cylinder car roaring UP
the winding, twisting mountain road in
the record smashing time of 26 minutes
56 l-2 seconds, clipping 81 1-5 seconds
off the former mark established three
weeks ago.
Three years ago when the late Billy
Carlson was in the height of his glory he
piloted tine first four-cylinder car up the
steep sides of Mount Wilson in the re-
markable time of 20 minutes l second.
Needless to say this ear was a Maxwell
and that it was several years in advance
of any other motor car manufactured at
that time is shown by the fact that for
three years Billy Carlson 8 record de-
fled the attempts of cars costing twice
as much at the Maxwell.
Several weeks ago a twelve-cvlinder
car put the former Maxwell record on
the shelf by making the assent in 27
minutes IL 20 stconds. Then it was that

Two attempts were made with tbe
Maxwell, piloted by Walter Lord, but
the ffOrts fell short, although they
threatened the mark of the twelye-cvi.
inder car. The road was somewhat
heavy, and made rapid progress up the
steep grades impossible.
Conditions last Friday, however. were
more favorable, and the Maxwell was
brought out for third and successful
trip. Driving with daring that was spec
tacular, Walter Lord set a dizzy pace
down the serpentine road a quarter of
mile to the bottom of Eaton canyon.
and then the real battle with nine miles
of tortuous grades was begun, Lord
knew the Maxwell thoroughly and he
literally hurled it around the 120 turns
that mark the course of the route as it
rises from an elevation of 1850 feet to
1896 above sea level.
1t was a spectacular run and the time
of 26 Is seconds sets new goal for am
bilious drivers of other makes Of cars.

agement of the Republic Theatre has
booked for today, we find him play
ing a comedy role.
True. there are impressive dramatic
moments in which Mr.. Lockwood fig
ures in "The Square Deceiver," but for
the MOST part his role of Billy Van
Dyke is a comedy character-not the
broad kind but of the light and breezy
Variety.
''The Square Deceiver" is described
by Francis Perry Elliott, the author
of the novel, Love Me for Myself
Alone" from which the photoplay was
adapted, as joyous comedy of youth
and love. Billy Van Dyke, the princi-
pal character, is a multi-millionaire
society man, who, in order to learn if
his "dream-girl" loves him for him
self alone, poses as a chauffeur By
his action he upsets the carefully laid
plans of one particularly designing
mother and thrusts himself into a
whirl of surprising action.

Frock of Satin and eeorgette.

tie rs to styles, so that in a few brief
out OF the running so fa- as style line
is concerned.
Copper-colored satin was selected
for the skirt of the frock, with tan
georgette for the blouse. The blouse is
shocked and embroidered in the darker
tone, and the dress fastens simply in
the center back. The girdle is draped
low at the back and is drawn well over
the hips.
This type of girdle drapery is noted
frequently on some of the newest
dresses and skirts, and one of the fab
RIGS is for a drapery that sweeps low
over the hip at one side and is about at
the normal waistline on the opposite
side.
The skirt of this frock is quite mar
row, measuring a scant yard and three
quarters in width, and the design is an
excellent one for remodeling a last sea-
sons frock.
To make the dress two and Il half
yards of satin SO inches wide win be
required, with one and three-quarters
yards of georgette the same width for
bodice and sleeves. The piece of satin
saved in the width of the skirt may be
used for the girdle. The bodice must,
of course, be made over fitted lining,
SD that a foundation is provided for
draping and holding the girdle. The
sleeves are unlined.
