Turkish Promises.

The first of more than hundred
treaties wrung from Turkey by which
the porte promised protection to the
Christians within the boundaries of
the Ottoman empire, was signed 145
years ago, at the instance of Russia.
Not one of these hundred promises has
ever been kept-which is sufficiently
indicated by the fact that all the treat
les cover practically the same points.
Every time the European powers saved
Turkey from ACKNOWLEDGMENT, the
reigning sultan in his gratitude, sol
EMMY promised that he would grant his
Christian subjects in European Tur-
key liberty and equality before the
law with Moslems After France and
England, at the tremendous cost of the
Crimean war, had saved the Turks
from the Russians, the sultan issued
the famous Hattihumatoun of Febru-
airy 1S, 1856, in which he swore by the
beard of the prophet to give Christians
full equality. The promise, like so
many others, was but "scrap of pa
per-" Abdul Hamid on his ascension
to the throne, declared that he would
make mo distinction of creed and
posed as the protector Of the Chris
tians and Jews, of whom probably
more than million were slain during
his reign of 33 years.

40 Prisoners Transferred to Windsor

An odd looking automobile party
left Rutland Tuesday when 40 prison
ers of the house of correction, all
wearing the regulation uniform of the
institution, started, under guard, in
three motor trucks for the state pris-
on at Windsor. Their exodus is the
final step in the consolidation of the
Rutland and Windsor institutions as
the 20 inmates left at the house of
correction are men whose terms ex-
pire either in June or July and they
will remain where they are until the
time for their freedom arrives. This
means that the house of correction
will be closed July 81.
The Rutland county Jail commits
sion, created by the state legislature,
has voted to buy the DR.. M. R. Cain
property in Rutland, just out of the
business district and to build one
story modern brick Jail building. At
present there are only three Jail pris-
oners at the house of correction.
A four-year-old child, Dorothy May
Cameron, who was kidnapped in
Massachusetts three years ago, was
restored to it's mother in Burlington
recently, where she had been cared
for in the family of a Mrs. Tatro.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cameron separated and
the mother should have the child and
alimony, but the night after the de-
cision was made known the father
kidnapped the child and fled to Can
ada. He settled down there, but lat
err removed to Vermont and died in
Burlington last fall. His mother
from North Adams, Mass, when
threatened with long Jail sentence
unless she told the whereabouts of
the child, divulged it.

FORTY TON TRUCK
This Enormous Load Was Placed on
Tires Made by the Goodrich
Rubber Company

Forty tons, the heaviest load ever
placed on rubber tires, recently was
carried by a trailor-truck owned by
Allen Brothers, Los Angeles, Cal.
This tremendous load, giant marine
engine cylinder, was borne % miles
over city streets and country high
ways without any noticeable effect
on the tires.
The coast" trucking contractors
signed and had built this traitor truck
with carrying capacity of 100000
pounds. The truck itself weighs 49,
700 pounds, and the especially de-
signed rear wheels weigh $500
pounds each. The wheels of the
truck are equipped with Goodrich
Solid Truck Tires, and the tremend-
Gus overload placed on those tires
adequately proves their strength.
The truck is shod with four. 4Ox1O,
and the traitor with two 40x12 tires.
The first load carried by this giant
truck was transferred from the iron
works in Los Angeles where it was
cast, to a shipbuilding drydock in
San PedroLa distance of % miles
in two hours and forty-fve minutes
time. The cylinder weighed approxi-'
mately 40 tons.
In order to secure the proper trac-
ton, the truck, was ballasted with an
engine stand weighing nearly seven
tons-a cargo, in itself, considered
tremendous for a motor truck.
Among other big tasks scheduled for
Allen Brothers truck is transporting
rifle barrels for the mammoth 16 inch
coast defense guns to be installed
in Fort Macarthur near Los Angeles.
The two-wheeled traitor is pulled by
a six and one-half ton Packard
Truck.
The demonstration proves that the
power of solid tires to carry ponder
Gus loads is almost limitless. 1t fur
Their points out that truck tire and
manufacturers have solved heavy
transportation problems and that an
adequate highway system is the only
drawback to extensive heavy trans
portation over the roads of the coun>
try.

when Summer Welded Spring"

Spring and Summer had a wedding,
On bright and sunny day;
And the dainty winsome bridesmaids
Were the sisters, June, and May.
Parson Jack stood in the pulpit,
Orange-clad, and quite unique;
And, they say, performed the service,
Though I never heard him speak.
Choirs of birds made wondrous music,
All the Brooks and Streams were
there;
And the Year brought choicest bios
SONS,
Which were scattered everywhere.
How the Trees their new gowns
rustled,
Feeling strangely yung and gay;
Just the four Winds, were the ushers,
Nature, gave the bride away.
And the whole affair was perfect,
AS all weddings ought to be;
And the fragrance of the flowers
Will come back in dreams to me.
When the winter SHOWS are falling,
And the cold winds bite and sting;
l shall think of that glad morning,
When young Summer welded Spring.

"Radio-compass" New Invention.

The naval communication service is
perfecting a new and important inven-
ton called a 'radio-cOmpass."
To illustrate its use: A ship, let us
say, is 200 miles out at sea. Owing
to persistent bad weather, her navi-
eating officer has not been able for
many days to get sight of the sun.
He has lost his bearings, and can only
guess at his latitude and longitude.
But he has on board radio-compass
An instrument otherwise called a 'di-
rection-finder." His wireless outfit en-
ables him to receive messages from
shore stations. The radio-compass
gives him the directions of the sta
lions from which these messages come.
Thus he can locate the position of the
ship with exactness and the problem of
navigation is safely solved.

Goodrich Tires fer Safety Treads

Goodrich's Victory announcement
of more mileage adjustment on
Goodrich Tires-fabric COCO, Silver
town Cord 5000 miles-has made a
decided hit with every dealer and
automobile owner in this territory,
according to The Peck Company of
this city.
He further states that
This new adjustment stands back
of all Goodrich Tires, including tires
already purchased, in the hands of
user OF dealer.
Fix these new Goodrich Adjust
ment figures firmly in your mind
6000 miles for Safety Treads-8000
miles for Silvertowns- instead of
the $500 and 5000 miles respectively
heretofore in force.
Goodrich Tires in actual usage on
road and pavement are today I'M
folding such matchless mileage, re-
gularly in excess of adjustment
basis, that Goodrich knows it has the
strongest, most durable tires the rub
Der industry has produced.
The Goodrich adjustment mileage
is increased because Goodrich knows
the mileage in it's tires, and it wants
to give every motorist a share in
their economy, and all-round benefits.
Go to a Goodrich dealer and buy a
Goodrich Tire-or buy four Good
rich Treasure that with fair and
square usage a Safety Tread will
render you at least 5000 miles; and
q Silvertown Cord at least 5000.
The newspapers, as usual, formed
the backbone of this very unusual
announcement and the comments by
everyone who has read this advertise
ment should be. The B. f. Goodrich
Company believes in newspaper adj
vertising, and is now conducting one
of the most effective as well as re-
suit bringing campaigns that is now
appearing in the newspapers on
Goodrich Safety Treads, Goodrich
Silvertown Tires and Goodrich De
Luxe Truck Tires.

ON LOFTY ARAFAT
Beautiful Mountain Is a Long,
Extinct Volcano.
1t Has Been Scaled, and, Contrary to
Tradition, No Proof That Noah's
Ark Ever Landed There Could
Be Discovered.

The recent appeal made by the
newly established republic of Ararat
for recognition by the United States
will be better understood. At least geo
graphically. when it is explained that
the region in question /: a province
of Armenia.
1t takes its name from the noun
tain on which the ark made land
Ing after che flood-Ararat meaning
Noah's mountain.
The whole world. according to the
Bible story, was submerged during the
period of the Deluge and Ararat's top
most peak was the first dry land to
appear above the waters. for the SIM
pie reason that it was the loftiest--
In Armenia, at all events.
AS viewed today it gives a notion
of the depth of the flood, inasmuch
as the peak is more than three miles
above sea level. 1t is dome-shaped,
and its slopes for 5000 feet from the
top are covered with everlasting snow
and great fields of glittering ice.
The climb down must have been
rather difficult for Noah, his family
and all the animals disembarked from
the ark. AS for an ascent to the top,
1t was formerly believed to be i'm
possible. The Armenian monks de-
clared that remains of the Noachinn
bark still existed on the summit. md
that by reason of their sanctity SUI
pernatural influence forbade approach.
Nevertheless, in September, 1922 a
bold climber Dr. Johann Parrot, sue
ceeded in reaching the top of Ararat,
and on coming down stated that he
had found not even the keel of the
ark up there Since then the feat has
been repeated by several other adj
venturous persons.
Ararat comes pretty near to being
the most beautiful mountain in the
world. 1t is a long-extinct volcano,
standing almost isolated save for
lesser peak, called Little Ararlt, which
Greatly part of it) Is cone of eXqui-
site symmetry-an ideal volcano of

A NY sunny day you happen to
~ take a stroll in Central Park
and chance to wander to lust
the right spot, you'll be apt to see what
looks like case of wholesale kidnap-
ping
But if you are in the good graces of the
unperturbed policeman nearby, he'll
tell you it's only c. H. Twelvetrees
enjoying his usual hour of frolc with
the kiddes.
Now you know where c. H. gets his
inspiration for those irresistible kid
postcards that have won for him the
deserved title of Americas Champion
Postcard Artist and place in the
hearts of all lovers of the little tots.
He'll tell you hed rather play with the
youngsters and their puppies than eat
which assertion seems to be born out
by the testimony of the park policeman
and more eloquently by his famous

duced.
Mr.. Twelvetrees was born upstate, is
still young (and always will be if his
effervescing sense of humor prevails),
has very retiring disposition, and is
the proud daddy of fourteen-year-ol
boy he calls "Laddie." It's an open
secret that "Laddie" passes critical
judgment on his fathers drawings be-
fore they ever reach you or me.
Rather "jumpy" is the term Mr..
Twelvetrees uses to describe his art
career, jumping from jewelry design
ing to book decorations and from ad-
vertlsing posters to interior decora-
tions, and finally to kidde pictures
Now he promises to stick to young
sters, babies and puppies, and we for
one are heartily in favor Aren't
