LIVE OF CHANCE |S RATED BASIS IF
 TIRE GAMBLE

You have been one of a throng to witness the daring of some daredevil aviator. Necks craned and strained, they watch with rapt interest. They do not wish disaster to beset him. Yet they want more. more, more! It's the love of chance that is inborn in so many of us. We want excitement. We like to take a chance in the hope that something extraordinary will come of it."
 MT. F. c. Millhoff, general sales manager of the Miller Rubber com- pary, Akron, Ohio, was drawing the parallel. He resumed: This love of risk pervaded tire buying. Motorists bought tires on d pot-shot luck basis.
 Maybe 1 will get a tire that will give me 5000 or 10000 niles-and maybe 1 won't The run the risk you may win proclivity dominated and the gambling ones bought.
 Miller tires until three years age may have been the lucky or unlucky ones that decided the motorists for tune at taking a chance. Until then they were no different. But then we determined to find out why every tire we DulIt was not as SOOu as our pest In other words, we proceeded to takt the gambling out of Miller tires.
 Tires, we discovered, differed 1T mileage about as the men building them varied in their work. So oul problem was not one of better equip ment or of more knowledge of the rub Der industry than our experience hat given us.

Invaluable as the motor truck has become in every line of business, we have not begun to utilize it in its full efficiency says Joseph McAleer of the Kissel Auto company.
 America is learning the lesson of economy" he continued. Economy of time, economy of labor, increased pro- . huction with less waste and less ex- pense. And in these improvements. the motor truck is destined to play an important part.

 "The reason for this is that they are Kissel-built at the Kissel factories, and the same methods of inspection and testing that were employed in Kissel Kars when they sold for much higher prices, are today being adhered to rigidly."

There will be no low tariff after

itatively made yesterday. in COM
ment upon the clause of the Presi-

treated alike in our customs houses.
In like manner the United States
and all other signatories Of the in
ternationai pact must be treated alike
at the doors OF any other country
Of the combination.
The man who explained this atti-
tude Of the President is. Of course, a
Democratic Official. The intimation.
in his talk was plain, however, that
the tariff which the United States will
have to impose after the war will be
high enough to suit even the most
rabid Republican.
1t may be stated that the C: iticism
