The Silent Navy" has manfully done
its part during the war which is al
most owe The country should be
proud to realize that in congress are
statesmen who are keenly awake to
the problems of the day. These men
have learned the cost of u~nprepared-
ness. Is there any citizen of this
broad land, so lost to all ideals of ma
tional pride and honor, as TO think
We should speal but softly and carry
no assurance as to our future peace
and happiness?
One can hardly realize how very
important the navy was to the sue
ceSsful prosecution of the plans for
winning the war. The navy was on
the job from the 4th of May, 1917, I'M
til today and long after our present
emergency army is a thing Of the past,
the navy will be over there" bring
ing back the last reminders of the
great war. The navy at the beginning
was small but man for man and gun
for gun it was the equal of any other
navy.
There are a few men who believe
that the time will never come when
the nations of the world will cease TO
build navies. Certainly not in our
time or in our children's time, will
the fighting ships and fighting sailors
be sen to the scrap-heap. The Dove
of Peace can rest just as peacefully
on the muzzle of a ~siXteen-inCh breech
loading rife as he can on a pole fly
ing the white flag of a fightless navy.
eQuaIed by no other, and we must
have men Of spirit and ambition to
man our ships.
The time has passed when men Of
bad character or habits can enlist.
The navy is a service of high idesIs
and its great record Of duty is ascrlb,
ed to the high standard set for its Of
fcers and men, and this standard will
be lowered. The young man
who enlists in the naval service may
well be proud Of himself and his uni
form.
About one week ago the secretary
of the navy cabled from London that
the situation regarding enlistments in
the navy is so acute that every eff
fort must be made to bring the ad-
vantages Of the navy trade schools to
the attention of the parents Of boys
and men in order that the fact that
the navy uses fifty trades and that
those who enlist in the navy may set
the advantages offered.
Therefore We are glad to be able to
publish from time to time articles tell
ing Of the navy. Enlistments are for
four years, applicants over II but un-
der IS must have their parents con-
sent, over IS an age certificate must
be presented. The legal age is IS and
no consent is necessary but the navy
department would rather a lad talk

AUTO TIRE COST DROPS

A general decrease in the cost CT
automobile and motor truck tires,
tubes and tire accessories to the pub
lie has been announced. This liberal
since our country became involved
in the world war.
The lowering of the cost of rubber
tires is not due to any apathy in tire
Gals because they find the demand
for their products we'll in excess of
the supply. Three factors entered in
to the tire price revision. First, The
remarkable industrial efficiency in the
rubber industry allowed them to
change ove quickly from a war foot
ing to a peace basis and tire produc-
ton today is nearing a mark greater
than at any time previous to the world
war. Second, all war restrictions on
the importation of crude rubber have
been removed enabling manufacturers
to keep ample supplies on hand. Third.

factory efficiency because of the siren

navy programs in the prosecution of
the war when solid and pneumatic
tires, tubes, gas masks, dirigibles and
observation balloons and surgical and
mechanical rubber goods were turned

ton OF tires.
The rubber industry is pledged to
supplying the needs of this country

fortunate in being able to measure up

trained men and women and equipped
not only to build dirigibles and bal
looms. the eyes of our great armies,
but in addition truck, car and aero
plane tires which were so urgently
needed.
In the manufacture and distribution
of tires the rubber industry has found
a field of great usefulness as an ally
to the motor car and truck manufac-
turers. necessarily the industry IS
seeking TO provide the automobiles and
trucks of the country with tires that
will render not only a better service
but that will, through their greater
resiliency and mileage life now built
into them, serve the users needs at
a very substantial reduction in cost.
Through every section of the country,
the rubber industry is seeking to ia
cilitate the development of transpOr-
tation over our highways by helping to
carry the railroads influence back in
to the remote areas now inaccessible
and improbable for mans venture and
helping to ultimately provide universal
transportation that will serve every
mar at his own door.

CHANDLER PEOPLE
CAME IN FORCE To
FAIR ON THEIR DAY

CHANDLER, Nov. Thursday
was Chandler day at the Arizona state
fair, and if there was any one there
who didn't know It, it was because
they We're blind. Chandler itself was
deserted for the day, business houses
closed for the entire day and every
available person in town was mustered
into the service and directed to the
fair bedecked with a Chandler badge
and instilled with a loyal Chandler
booster spirit.
Originally its seemed that Chand-
Ter as a whole would not take in the
fair, but the idea was conceived by
the chamber of commerce directors
that Chandler ought to go in a body
and show the visitors from over the
state that there is such a town here.
Badges were printed distributed, the
supply exhausted, and more printed
so that everyone who comprised the
party wore home town ribbon.
The chamber of commerce estimated
that at least 500 Chandler people took
in the fair during the course of the
day and a big majority of these made
the trip in automobiles in a body.
