GATES TIRE COMPANY
IS IN NEW QUARTERS

The Gates Half Sole company has
moved into new quarters at 20-30 North
Second avenue. Constant expansion OF
the business had completely outgrown
the old quarters, and the move was re-
qulref so as to enable them to carry {,
larger stock and give the proper service
TO their customers. In connection with
their regular line, they will conduct IA
first class service service station Much
new machinery and equipment is being
installed.
Mr.. Temple Emery, the manager Of
the shop stated that when everything Is
prepared for business, which will be at
least next Tuesday. they would be in a
position to handle many times the vol
nme of business as in the old shop, and
give real service. The company will
carry half-soles, tires, tubes and acces-
series.

the official judgment Of merit. Others
take. their knighthoods cynically and
frankly as a useful asset in life and
business, part of the furniture of the
"first-class cabin" of which Bishep
Blougram spoke. Indeed. I remember
an admirable journalist saying to me
apologetically, when he had accepted
this honor: You see. it is SO useful on
board a steamer"
That, / suppose. is its chief tempta-
ton to the literary man, who has. u
may be, reputation with the elect, but
noke at all in the world beyond. lie
lives in his London circle as a famous
man, only to find himself utterly UNI
known when he goes on a voyage ,,-
stays in hotel. But now make him a
sir and he sits at the captains table
and is advertised as a man of mark
by attentive stewards and reverential
walters. The idea that it costs money
is, believe mostly an illusion. Rather
the contrary is true; the untitled have
TO tip heavily if they desire the service
which is given for love to the titled. It
is a positive sin for the untitled to
detain an honest waiter when he de-
sres to devote himself to a lord or
sir" | can't believe that any sane
man ever read a book because it was
written by a sir" and not mister"
and, so far S my experience goes, the
presumption is entirely the other way.
The literature of the "sirs' is for the
most part what Lord Rosebery once
described as blue book and biscuit"
literature. and the title is the blameless
and natural reward for the faithful
compiling of commercial statistics.

AFTERNOON GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-The September
corn settlement affair has again proved
Il factor. 1t has been supplemented by
another weak cash corn market, with
prices about 10 cents lower. Primary
receipts of corn are very large, run
ming practically double that of the past
three years. Cash men report no sales
of mixed corn above S1.40. The news
bureaus regard the news as friendly
to the grains but other critics point
out that it is the duty of the US. to feel
most of Europe and very reasonable
prices are necessary. Hoover outlines
exports of II million tons of foods to
July /. 1919, versus & million for the
past year. Just how this enormous
amount of grain, etc, is to be exported
is not apparent but tremendous ship
building gains are evidently expected
during the next few months. The Mon
day bulge has failed, but Tuesday rally
usually follows Monday weakness.

Two hundred Assembly district
fhairmen and election district captains
of the Woman's Suffrage Party met at
the party headquarters. East Thirty
eighth Street, last night to formulate
plans for the organization of the $4,000
women workers here to stimulate the
war savings campaign.
Mrs. NJ. sRoutzahn, an associate of
Arthur H. Ham, chairman Of the War
Savings Society Bureau of the War
Savings Committee, told the women
assembled that their first constructive
step ought to be the formation of war
savings societies in their respective
districts. The clubs. she said, should
be started in social and economic
groups all over the city.
The primary object of the formation
OF these societies. Mrs. Routzahn de-
clared, was to make the members save
for the government regularly in order
that the habit of thrift might be in
grained in the people. Another prin-
ciple which should animate the socie-
ties, of which there are more than
1000 in Great Britain, is that by saw
ing people are avoiding competing with
their government for necessary com
modities and labor.
To form society, Mrs. Routzahn
