There are certain historical in
stances that get written down as
bearing marks of the Intervention
of God. The storm that defeated
the Spanish Armada is one, and
men are beginning to look at the
first battle of the Marine as an
other. Competent authorities tell
us that the German defeat cannot
be adequately explained on human
grounds. If it is true, as Herbert
Spencer says, that we live in the
presence of a moral order, then
something must happen when that
order is violated. That Germany
violated that order no one doubts
and when it did so it was fighting
against the stars in their courses

These are convertible into notes

1923, but the government has the

notes into the humblest homes in

Alan with an interest and curiosity that
had some deeper significance than mere
friendliness.
It's the gold. Mr.. Jessup," replied
Daoud when he questioned. 81 think
you've bewitched them"
"Yes, but what's going to happen down
Yambu way when the news reaches there?"
Daoud translated to the Sheriff, who
smoked a moment in silence before he re-
piled.
Perhaps there will be more fighting
he said, with a shrug; "but that matters
nothing when ones cause is just"
The sentiment was less convincing than
the surmise. but rendered into Daoud's cool
English phrases. it conveyed a question
Alan answered it promptly.
"The Sheriff Abdullah Sadi has rendered
me great service-so great that the cbli-
CATION is one that can never be repaid only
in thankfulness and gratitude" Daoud
translated. But if the Sheriff Abdullah
will come with his men of the Benz Amur
to the ship in the harbor of DamgkOh, much
gold will be given to him and to them"
The Sherif's eyes sparkled with cupidity
and then he bowed his head and waved a

But Constance, reading the signs in Am

And even while she did so Amneh

He bent forward tenderly, obeying, but

Dawson and the steward, who had once
been a hospital apprentice, helped her in
her work while Alan stood by helplessly
and watched. Constance had wanted to
treat him, but he had laughed her OF. His
shoulder hurt him, to be sure, but the bull

ing would be a simple matter. Two other
fellows were badly hurt, one shot through
the leshy part Of the chest and the other in
the neck. The man they called London
lay at one side, his draperies tumbled
about him. Somebody pulled the kufiyah
over his face.
Daoud arrived, jubilant and eager for
news. Neither he nor his men had gotten
a scratch. With some pride Alan drew the
karras from his belt and handed it to him,
and the expression on the Egyptians face
was eloquent of the achievement

During the present season, the out put of our Akron factories alone has approximated the enormous figure of 25,OOO finished Goodyear Tires per day.
 If this production can be maintained over the 300 working days per year, in twelve months Goodyear will have produced one tire to each of the 7,5OO,OOO automobiles in the land. Think of the immensity of this vol ume, in view of the fact that there are some 300 other brands of tires think of what it means in tribute to the goodness of Goodyear Tires.
 Especially think of its significance in the light of the present situation despite this amazing total there still are not enough Goodyear Tires to go round.
 The present unparalleled popularity of Goodyear Tires is all the more re- markable in that it is founded solely on the virtues in Goodyear Tires themselves.
 No fictitious discounts, no delusive guarantees, no expedients of any sort have been employed to stimulate artifcially the even march of sales.  IIIIIII
Arizona republican., 1919-07-27

Purely on the merit of Goodyear Tires, and the consistently fine service they deliver, rests the demand which even the worlds largest tire produc> ton does not satisfy. Certainly nothing less than conspicu> ous superiority could thus win and : hold the allegiance of the largest < , single group of tre>buyers in the 5 world.
 We want to serve all these tire>users, we want ample stocks of Goodyear Tires everywhere; to that end we are striving constantly to enlarge our production.
 But so far it has not been humanly possible forus to build tires of standard Goodyear quality in the volume all these people demand.
 Until we are able to do so, we sug geSt that you anticipate future require ments by placing a reservation order with your Goodyear Service Station Dealer.
 Such action now will guard you against possible disappointment later and avert any inconvenience this temporary shortage might otherwise occasion. 11SG= , YEAR K R O N
