A WONDERFUL BICYCLE TIRE

| Refreshing, at time when so many
things are up in price and down II
quality, to find an article fair in price
and in quality like Caesars wife. ''cleal
above suspicion Vacuum Cup
bicycle tire made by the Penn. Rubber
Co.. of Jeanette, Pa
The Scribe has had bike experience
with one of these wonderful tires worth
telling-the 18th year for one on the
rear wheel and seemingly good for 4
years more! T.! Meanwhile, three tires
of other makes on the easier front
wheel, are worn out and gone-but not
forgotten, for they made more trouble
than they were worth, plugs and tap
ings all thetfme.
This superb Penn. Co. tire bids fair
to ptove another Zone Hoss Shay"
affair. All have read that classic bit
of American humor, by Holmes, telling
how the old deacon's imperishable shay
saw two or three generations come and
go, only at last to let 60 all at once
from sheer old age
Well, these Vacuum Cup tires are
like that-they just don't seem to know
how to wear out like other tires, but
keep on going like the deacon's famous
shay.
Mr.. Harry Howell, the best bike ex-
pert in the state, sells these fine tires,
at his store now enlarged and fiIIec with
bicycles, Columbia wheels, tires and all
one wants in the bike line. These
vacuum Cup" tires are always up to
concert pitch in quality, and he means
to push them in preference to all others.
Were the Poet Holmes alive today,
and addicted to the bike, as no doubt
such an athlete would be, he would be
riding that prince of wheels, the Colum-
bia, shod with peerless Vacuum Cups"

CHILDREN'S YEAR
Infant Welfare Center will Omen
in Middletown Next THURSDAY
LOST 995 CHILDREN LAST YEAR

The opening of the Infant Welfare
Centre, under the auspices of the
I United States Children's Bureau, and
Council of National Defense, will open
in Middletown on next Thursday, July
25th. and the sessions will continue on
Friday and Saturday.
Active work will begin with a weigh
ing and measuring of all children under
five years of age. This will provide a
test of physical fitness of children of
pre-school age, and the basic knowledge
for effective activity to save the babies
lives and to assure and preserve the
health Of all children.
In Delaware last year, 995 children
under five years died. This rate is
higher than in New York, Philadelphia,
Boston and Chicago. Someone has
we'll said that it Is more dangerous to
be born in Chicago than to go lover
the top" at the fighting front. In
Chicago eleven out of every hundred
babies born, die before they are year
old. In Delaware over twelve babies
die.
The height and weight and their rela
ton to each other are a rough index of
a young child's health and development.
For instance when a child Is strikingly
small for his age, it indicates that ex.
pert advice about diet and daily care is
needed.
In July the deaths of children under
two from certain easily preventable d.
gestive diseases are usually more than
double those in June. By August the
deaths from diarrhoea and enteritis are
three times what they are in June. and
the number does not fall again to the
June level until November.
Conditions which lower the resistance
of children make these diseases more
threatening. This year the war makes
it more difficult and costly to feed chill
dren properly, as they must be fed if
they are to be strong and we'll to resist
diseases.
AS precaution for the community,
mothers whose children are suffering
from contagious diseases or have recent
ly been exposed to them are asked not
to bring them to be weighed and meas
ured Cards can be given these moth
ers on which, if the child is we'll enough
to make it desirable for him to be enter
ed in the test, he can be weighed and
measured at home, Colored children
will have an opportunity to be weighed
and measured at later date. Uncle
Sam wants every child in America to
grow up well and strong. Delaware
wants to make record for the healthi-
est, the happiest, and the best all.round
in the country.
Bring your children to the Middletown
Infant Welfare Station, with Miss
Blanche Lockwood. nurse-ln-charge,
assisted by Miss Josephine Salmon,
county nurse. Mrs. Edward Ladley.

The station will be in the vacant
house of Mr.. Joseph C. Jolls on Main

Paris, June 21.-The leading Amerl- ican ace in the French army flying corps, First Lieutenant Frank l.. Bay lies of New Bedbord, Mass, with If enemy machines to his credit, is miss ing after an unequal fight with four German machines.

 It turned out the machines were German and all of them seized an op- portunity to attack Baylies simultan- eously. The enemy had advantage of position and number but Baylies put up a game fight. He attempted to take the offensive against the Ger. mans but his machine caught fire and fell after few moments about SIX miles within the German lines.
 Sergeant Macari thinks that Lieuten' ant Baylies may have had a good land ing if he escaped death in the flames of his burning machine.
