WAR REv|vES INTEREST IN
 PHYSICAL WORK OF SCHOOLS

Washington, Feb. 19.-A quickened appreciation in all nations of the val ue of physical education has resulted from the war, according to Dr. P. P. ClaXton, Commissioner of the Bureau of Education, and has been evidenced in this country by the enactment of laws in eight states requiring physi- cal training in the publiv schools.
 A bulletin issued by the Bureau, summarizing legislation on the sub- ject, notes that. in France strong central committee has been formed to promote physical education and in England comprehensive provisions have been incorporated in the new education law..
 Illinois was the first of the Amer ican states to require physical train- ing by statute, passing the law in June 1915. Since that time New York, New Jersey, Nevada, Rhode Island, California, Maryland and Delaware have enacted similar laws and six other states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Ohio and Colorado, have given legis- 1dI1Ve dIIeHCloll to CHe SuDJecC put have not acted.
 In most states which have consider ed physical eduaction, the initial inn pulse to action was interest in mili- tary preparedness and took the form of bills for military training of high school boys. Investigation resulted in convincing the legislators, the Bulle- tin says, that military training for youths was less valuable even as a feasure of preparedness than solid system of physical training. With the exception of Nevada, where the law applies to high schools, only the laws apply to all school children and the time requirement ranges from one hour each school week to two hours and a half

OREAR0MA TRUCK COMPANY MAKING
 GREAT PROGRESS
Close Of First Fiscal Year Shows Success Of
 Company.

| D at North MuskOgee, Okla, which IS suburb of the thriving city of Muskogee, Okla, one of the most brilliant business successes of recent years has been consummatell. To build a factory, equip it throughout and commence operations and actually get on paying basis in years time is quite task, yet the men behind the Oklahoma Auto Manufacturing company, builders of the OK truck and OK farm tractor have done it. Where year ago was principally woods aund underbrusi1. today there stands large modern auto truck fac tory complete in every detail and busy day and night
 Besides the actual work of erect ing the factory and getting the big plant into production the company has also built number of modern bungalows for the use of their en- ployes, have built q commodious modern hotel; have drilled gas wells and Diped the gas to the factory and to all the bungalows and other build- ines, have laid their own water worNs system. put in their own lighting sys- tenn built hard roads all through the factory grounds and in addition a hard road from the plant to the city of Muskogee. AS a matter of fact the plant and buildings of the Okla homa Auto Manufacturing companv resemble miniature city rather than simply a motor truck and tractor. factory.

DEMAND FOR CORD TIRES IS
 INCREASING VERY RAPIDLY

i When cord tires for passenger cars first became available several years
 ago, the advantage of such tire equip
 ment were possible only at great ex- pense and were limited to cars re-
 quiring the larger sizes of tires.
 But so apparent were the added rid ing comfort and increased mileage
 provided by these tires that the own CTS of cars using smaller sized tires soon demanded these advantages for themselves.
 And in response to this demand tire engineers soon produced tires in the cord types adapted to use on cars wearing the medium sizes of tires. Then a little later the class of cars using 30x3 1-2 tires was reached, so that now cord tires may be secured for any class of car, no matter what the size of tire.
 "It is surprising" says H. G. Pal
 mer, Manager, Pneumatic Tire De- partment, for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, "how many motor ists driving the smaller cars :: are adopting cord tires as their regular equipment. These tires come little higher in the initial cost, as the con- structio his more expensive, but the extra mileage reduces the cost per mile and offsets the higher initial
 cost. And their use on the smaller cars has been proven just as economi- cal as on the heacy, higher priced
 machines
 Tires Are Live.
 F. Perhaps as appealing a feature as
 the increased mileage is the wonder full resi siliency of our cords. By resilien- ey we mean the liveliness of the tire ts ability to absorb shocks and pre- vent them from affecting the mechan-
 ism of the car. No tire has ever been
 better adapted to minimize trouble,
 give unusual mileage, increase speed, , and save power.
 "They have greater air capacity i than fabric tire of the same rated size-which adds greatly to tire life. "It is an open secret with us that we pay the same careful attention to our output of smaller cord tires. that we do to the production of the larger sizes. Our 30x3 1-2 clincher cord tire is one that we are particularly proud of. We build into it all of the wear ing and easy riding qualities. that go into the larger sizes.
 1 "Our production on this size has reached the point where we are able to furnish all our dealers with suffi- !, cient stocks of tires to permit them to i take care of thetwants of all their customers, so that no user of 30x3 1-2

GERMANY TO BECOME
 A GREAT REPUBLIC

Berne,i Switzerland, Jan. 1O.-,By Mail. Jon the question of freedom of the seas, Professor Friedrich w. Foerster, Bavarian Minister to Swift zerland, said recently to a corres- pondent of The Associated Press. : x,"I must frankly admit the Ger mans ma 3;. had n no reasons reasons to complain ( of seas to develop their comnerce and industries before the war. In fact, both America and England placed no obstacles in this respect"
 Dr. Foerster declared that Prus- sianism and militarism now are dead in Germany-killed by the war and that Germany will become a great republic on the lines of America but that the process necessarily must be slow owing to international conflicts and the differences between political parties.

MOTORISTS WILL
 GIVE SUPPORT ID TOWNSEND BILL

Washington, Feb. lS.-''That a preponderating majority of the six million passenger car and motor truck owners of the country will support the Townsend bill in the Sixty-sixth 1 Congress is practically assured" as serts President David Jameson of the American Automobile Association which represents motorists generally in national organized form.
 "Ever since the A. A. A. in January 1912, called the first Federal Aid in Roads convention in the Capital city, there has been steady and logical progress toward comprehensive par i ticipation in highways betterment by the National Government" according to MT. Jameson, who then goes on to say:
 "The explanation of this develop ment is exceedingly simple and con- sists mainly in the fact that we now utilize for passengers and freight roads vehicles which disregard coun7 ty subdivisions and state lines. There must be distributio nofhighwaysau- thority among the several sub- -divis- ions. In our own councils we have repeatedly discussed the proposition that there should be no smaller unit than the county, which would mean county roads, then state roads, and, finally, Federal roads.
 Urge State Systems.
 "On the way to Federal system, we are following out partnership with the several states by which equal amounts of Federal and state money are spent in the creation of state systems. This was preceded by a joint arrangement between the state and it's counties, until finally the state in many instances has taken over the main market roads. Exactly the same thing is certain to result from the present Federal and state cooperation. and this is fundamentally set forth in the bill just introduced by Senator Charles E. Townsend of Michigan. the probable chairman of the Senate Con- mitte on Post Offices and Post oRads in the next Congress. The measure in- troduced by him calls for Federal i highway system which will provide mot less than two main trunk line ] roads in each state and joining the Federal highway system in the adjac- ent states and countries. The commits sion is to consist of five members geographically distributed, and not more than three of the same political utilization. The terms of office will expire in such manner that only one commissioner would be appointed at a time, after the commission had been created. The appointments are to be made by the President and confirmed bv the Senate, with the term in of flee seven years. This commission would take over all existing Federal road activities, engage a chief engin. eer and other engineers, and the com. missioners would give their entire time to their duties.
 "These provisions will give an ides of the scope of the measure, which in my opinion, will not only have the support of the motor road users. but will obtain the endorsement of all or. ganizations which have to do with highways progress"

Able Directors.

The company is directed by an able corps of representative bankers and business men of Oklahoma and Ark ansas, in fact. most of the prominent citizens of eastern Oklahoma and of many Arkansas cities are interested ill this company. The mere fact that the close of the fiscal year showed the company on it's feet and on a money-makjng basis speaks sufficient ly strong for the ability of the men who are directing it's affairs
 Now that the great world war has ceased the demand for motor trucks and farm tractors is rapidly increas- ing and for that reason the company have greatly enlarged their plans for the present year. They expect to build just as many trucks and trac. tors as the capacity of the factory will permit and the ready sale the trucks are meeting with all over the merit of the product.
 To sum up the success achieved .Dy the Oklahoma Auto Manufacturing company in their, first year of busi- ness life seems nothing short of mar vicious and at the close of 1919 when all the plans are realities it will seem still more stupendous.
 A representative of the company, W. F. Nichol has permanently located in this city and he will be glad to meet you and show you just what the Oklahoma Auto Manufacturing com pany have accomplished The com na nv arc now establishing dealers in this state and in the course of short time the OK truck and OK tractor will be on sale in this city.

The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1919-08-08

Two Conditions that Confront the
Farmer Requiring Careful Thought
i'm the Proper Treatment of His
Soils.
The writer visited a very much
discouraged farmer not long ago
He had worked hard and long all the
fore part Of the season to get his
crops planted, only to find at this
season little prospect of profitable
yields. The trouble is this: His
farm is quite level and the soil rather
heavy with still heavier subsoil. The
extremely wet weather of the spring
had retarded the work Of planting,
and injured much of the seed after
it was planted. Proper cultivation
could not be given and weeds grew
rapidly. Then the other of the two
things to be feared in connection
with such soil, dry weather, set in,
the soil baked and the outlook for
expenses, to say nothing of profits
was, indeed slim. Another unfavor-
able factor in the soil was acidity.
The chief needs of all such farms,
and there are many of them, are
drainage and lime; efforts at prof.
table farming are in vain until the
surplus water can be speedily re-
moved, and the soil is made sweet or
at least neutral by the application of
lime in some form. Life is too short
and the needs are too great to waste
effort in trying to do the impossible.
While the initial cost is often serious
consideration with limited means,
yet, if other factors are desirable, it
is good business to borrow money for
such improvements rather than to
spend life in un-requitted toll.
