new rim is the same as that of all Firestone demountable rims for pneu- matic tires. This principle is ''wedged- on" continuous surface contact be- tween rim and felloe by split wedge ring in such manner that the rim can never be sprung out of a true circum- ferential or lateral alignment Thus the tire is assured uniform support and uniform wear throughout its circum- ference. and, full tiIe mileage is assured as far as the rim is concerned
 The type of rim made to carry these giant pneumatic tires measuring 6, z and inches in diameter is the well known Type C. Firestone demount- able rim. This rim has been made for passenger cars for the last 10 years and for the last three years over d million rims of this type had been placed on the highest grade American cars. It is the type of rim trucks can not be run at all on deflated tires
 The deflation of a CT or 8 inch tire under a heavy load is a far more ser ious matter than the deflation of a comparatively small tire on a touring car. The loaded truck must have it's tires in perfect condition before it can run at all.
 "The springing up of this quick ex- press truck service behind the firing lines, is one of those remarkable bits of evidence coming to light every day to show how well prepared America

Women Safeeuarded

ing as clerks in the various depart ments.
 Women Safesuarded
 In all this work the best of safe insure their safety from injury. Work insure their safet yfrom injury. Work ing conditions are made as nearly ideal as possible. Instruction is given in the principles of safety first, although they are not put to work in sections of the factory where there Is an undue per- sonal hazard
 In the matter of wages the women are eXtermely fortunate. No discrim- ination in the rate of pay between men and women is made. The women's rate is based on the principle that the labor cost is in no case to be higher than if it were done by men. In the amount and quality of work performed, women work as efficiently as men, but there are certain factory operations which they are unable to perform. For instance, women finish tires as well as men. but they are not physically able to carry around the heavy metal cores on which the tires are built.
 Woman's Pay Is Just
 So this part of the work is still done by men, and the women's rate of pay determined by the portion of the work they actually perform. Wherever in dependent of other help they are paid the same as men for the same work.
 In the employment department wo- men are doing the hiring of women. and special policewomen have been placed on the factory police staff whose work is chiefly among the women

TWENTY PER CENT 0F COODYEAR PRODUCT NOW MADE BY WOMEN

The unprecedented demands-both military and industrial upon our country's man power, are fast fulfill Ing prophecies made at our entry into the war, that when we finally took our place with our allies on a gigantic war basis. women would fill the places of men in our industrial plants. In the plant of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company at Akron, Ohio, women are now turning out 20 per cent of that company's product.
 Many of them are engaged in work that it was thought could not be turned out except by men, yet in actual per formance, in much of this work they have act tally outdone men. Goodyear labor department figures show that nearly 5000 women and girls are now employed in that plant, many of them on work that requires the most skill ful operation.
 Since the close of the school year there has been a perceptible influx of school teachers. These teachers have selected the factory as their workshop because of the opportunity to earn a good wage and because of their real desire to perform a patriotic duty to- ward their country in helping to speed up production of war and other ma terials.
 War Calls 4,6oo Men
 More than 4600 men have left the company to enter the federal service and no factory can lose this number of strong able bodied men and not miss them But a thorough trial of women in their places has demonstrated that production will not suffer.
 Here are some of the things that women are doing at the Goodyear fac tory; finishing tires, cutting and splicing fabric for balloons. weighing rubber, molding and trimming rubber heels. operating electrical industrial trucks making gas masks, operating refining and straining machines in re- claiming rubber, running rubber wash ing machines, splicing and trimming tire tread bands, separating rubber sheets that become stuck together ir the long voyage from the crude rubber plantations. making tubes and work

SUCCESS POINTERS
 ABOUT GIANT T|REs'

"F1restone, the first to come to the front with a demountable rim for passenger automobiles in 1907, again in 1916. was first to perfect the rim that makes it practical for trucks to travel long distances at high speed on pneumatic tires" the Firestone factory announces
 One of the big reasons for the suc- cess Of the giant pneumatic tire in truck service is the fact that should mishap occur to the tire while on the road, 1t can quickly be changed if mounted on Firestone rim. The quick change ability of these tires is perhaps more vital consideration in truck service than in passenger car service. because. while a passenger car may be run short distance after deflation without apparent injury, a large truck tire under load cannot be run at all without suffering great damage.

SIXTEEN WORDS IN
 WILLARD TELL ALI

We recently picked up a little ad- vertising folder. published by the Willard Storage Battery company which impressed us strongly by it's evident sincerity. It is called Our Idea of Service and is signed by Mr. Willard himself says E. l.. Gielow of the Western Machinery company, local Willard representatives.
 One thing he says in his statement seems to sound the keynote of mod ern, broad minded, present day busi- ness: When we are wrong we admit it. when the customer is wrong we must prove it. These sixteen words
Arizona republican., 1918-07-14

seem to typfy the successful busi- ness man-big enough to admit that he may sometimes be wrong and courageous enough to voluntarily ac- cept the burden of proving when he is right
 MT. Willard not only means every word he says-but he insists that his service stations live up to the stand ard he sets.
 MT. Willard and the Willard Stor- age Battery company were among the first to realize the necessity of nation wide service on important automobile accessories. Willard service stations are now established in all parts of the world-over eleven hundred of them-and in every one you will find the same high character of service which is given at the local station

DEALERS IN BUG JUICE
PLAY TAG WITH MARKET

Louisville, KY, Nov. 1.-After
eighteen months of extreme uncer-
tainty in the whiskey market, the
price of bonded goods today in Ken
lucky, the largest straight whiskey
producing state in America, is csc
to $1.15 a gallon.
The imminence of complete prohi-
bition, coupled with the belief that
higher taxes may cause a marked de-
crease in consumption, is expected
by large operators to keep prices at
low level. A few dealers. however,
believe the approach of prohibition
will stimulate demand and bring
high prices.
The sudden. sweeping market
changes have kept operators in a
turmoil. A.year and a half ago many
of them would have been bankrupt
had they been forced to liquidate
their holdings. Then prices rose
and on paper some of the holders
were millionaires.
The order stopping production for
beverage purposes sent prices up
ward until newest whiskies ap-
preached So a gallon in bond. own
ers counted gains in big figures,
and many held on for higher prices.
The cautious ones unloaded at the
peak, however.
Then came the certainty of pro-
hibition for the duration of the war
and that greatly increased taxes
must be paid. Prices crashed and
brought the low levels of today.
There are between thirty and for
ty millions of gallons Of whiskey
available for sale today on which
the tax has been paid. The present
tax on whiskey is 1920 proof gal
Ion. Dealers said they expected the
new $s.o00,00 revenue bill to
provide a tax Of at least double and
probably treble the present rate.

ed definitely as soldiers. This is in
the prophylaxls room. where, as soon
as recruit is passed as physically
lit for service. he goes for anti-phoid
innoculation and vaccination.
From three to six teams OF medi-
cal Officers and attendants work at
this continuously when a recruit con-
tingent Is being examined Each
team consists of medical officer to
vaccinate against smallpox. one to
innoculate against typhoid, a medi-
cal corps man to prepare apparatus
for each and two medical corps men
to wash spots on recruits arms
with alcohol and paint them with
iodine.
The alcohol wash comes first in a
row of processed. Then come the
medical officers. Besides them are
bowls of boiling water, In which are
hypodermatic needles and syringes
being sterilized. A. syringe and a
needle are taken out with sterile
forceps, the needle fitted to the in
strument and the proper amount Of
anti-typhoid serum put into the syr-
inge. The medical officer Is wait
ing with this in his hand when the
recruit approaches.
While this is administered, an
other medical officer on the other
side Of the man vaccinates him. The
army has a method all its own for
vaccination, quick and very effec-
tive. When the processes are COM
pleted, the mans left arm, in which
the anti-typhoid serum is paced, is
painted with iodine and he passes
put.
The medical officer discards the
used syringe, which goes into steri-
lizing solution for long period, is
washed and then goes into the boil
ing water, where 1t remains until
needed.
The serum comes In glass "am-
pules" which are kept sealed until
the moment Of use. The most scrup-
ulous care is used to prevent infec-
tion and medical officers declare that
although there have been millions
OF doses OF the serum given, there
never has been a case Of bad after
effects or an accident connected with
Its usa.,,ee.

THE WAR DEPARTMENT
SAYS ALL ARE LIES

Washington. Nov. 1.-The most
popular German lie of the season Is
the story that army doctors and
Red Cross nurses have been shot at
sunrise for injecting disease germs
into soldiers. Every army camp in
the United States has been named
as the scene of the tragedy. No
incident of the sort has occurred at
the camp or hospital either here or
abroad. THE reports are ridicu.
lous," says the war department,
"and without the slightest founda.
ton In fact. There have been no
medical officers, nurses, or anyone
else executed at any camp in the
United States or abroad for any such
case"
The purpose OF these stories is
evident. They are designed to de-
press civilian morale by worrying
the relatives and friends of the men
in service and to weaken the faith
of the American people in the eff
cheney of their war department.
A similar story alleges that influ-
enza has been spread by means of
germs in aspirin tablets. That story
is equally ridiculous and untrue.
Germs would not live in such a me-
dunn even IL the Germans wished
them to.
