greet it cheerfully as an old honored

STIFF FRONT SHIRT
 IS NOW ON DECLINE
G.ondon Times.

The shining breastplate of the Eng lishman. his stiff white shirt. will soon be a thing of the Rst. The rigid rationing of coal will prevent the fine gloss on linen. This will be a blow to the conventional well dressed man. but he will survive it, as he has survived greater calamities. It is all to the good that the war has taken the starch out of us. We were too stiff to adapt ourselves to circumstances. The soft shirt is a symbol of accommodation t environment. America and the colonies had not to learn the little of the laun- dry. They have been soft shirt wear CTS from the beginning of their his- tories. Lincoln was a soft shirt man, as our premiers across the seas have been soft shirt men, but they pre- sented, a stiff front to diversity, al though they had no use for starch. We will get back again some of these days to what old fashioned writers call immaculate evening dress" but the old rigidity will have disappeared from our social and international outlook

TIRE MAN
 0|V RUDOLPH STAFF

A recent addition to the Ed Rudolph organization is R. A. Vasey, who will act as city salesman, handling Good year tires in pneumatics and solids, and Hood tires in pneumatics. MT. NaSey comes to the Ed Rudolph or ganization with considerable. tire eX- perience, having recently been the pro- prietor of the Beatrice Tire and Repair company, one of the largest exclusive tire service stations in southeastern Nebraska On the subject of tires Mir. Nasey says:
 Anyone desiring to know the best needs in a tire for his car or truck can, upon an analysis of his driving condition readily find the tire suited 10 his needs; that is, if he knows tire con- structon. There are two types of pneu- matic tires, the fabric and the cord. The fabric tire is suited for the aver age road conditions and will give req sonable service for the money invested The cord tire is designed to meet con- ditions where the fabric tire would go out of commission prematurely by bruising, a condition that puts 50 per cent of fabric tires out of service. A cord tire is so constructed that it will absorb shocks that would put others out of service, and the reason for this
 is that the cord tire is so thoroughly rubberized-has so much rubber in corporated in it's construction-that it will resist stone bruising to a large degree. In other words, . great deal depends ez the GuaHtity and Qu1iitz l of cushion Tubhsr in tho mAke-up oa I the tire.
 | Tn the transportation field the same ] thing has to be worked out in the ! selection of a tire for truck use. There are three types of truck tires in use l today, and thorough knowledge of 1 hauling conditions is necessary in l selecting a proper tire
 MT. Vasey is a practical tire man, l having gained a thorough knowledge 1 through years of experience in the
 automobile field, and will, no doubt ! be of great service to the auto and ] transportation public in Phoenix. In | problems that may come up in the
 selection of tire equipment for your
 car or truck MT. Nasey's services will
 always be available.
