BY WILLIAM r. sANHoRN.

The industrial outlook, so far as
the wooden manufacturers are con-
cerned. is the brightest in years:
First, because there is the largest
demand for cloth ever experienced
and. secondly, because there will be
ample supplies of woods, of all classes,
both domestic and foreign. Not that
woods are to be cheap" except by
comparison, but they will be obtain
able as needed
Your FIRST impression that this
means cheaper clothing and also
cheaer WOODEN fabrics for women's
wear. Eventually, yes; but not this
year. There is an acute scarcity Of
best and medium grade woolens for
mems wear right now and cutters of
these cloths are clamoring for yard
age. They have booked an enormous
lot of business, particularly for the
better grades of clothing. and time
is flying. Orders from the interior
towns and cities indicate an abund-
ance of money. There is little cavil
ing at prices, which have been con-
stantly hardening. The important
thing is the delivery" as early and
in as large quantities as possible.
What has been said as to mems
fabrics is also true with reference to
woolens for women's wear, though
possibly the demand is not quite so
broad or urgent as is coming from
manufacturers of mems apparel This
indicates that our wives and sisters
will be taxed as high, and even higher
for cloaks and suits, than In 1918.
Besides the advances in material the
labor troubles in the womens ready
to wear industry, recently noted in
these columns, have curtailed produc-
ton and increased the cost. The
cutting up trades in all fabric lines
are feeling the pinch and that prices
are to be lowered seems out of the
question. It is said that good yarns
are almost unobtainable and that
spinners are not in position to accept
more orders for yarns than they have
already booked. In the meanwhile all
the wheels and looms are humming
and every mill is at work to capacity
CIothiers Buy Literally.
Beginning with the manufacturers
of clothing who sell their own out
| put, and the clothing trade jobbers
who sell and buy in all markets, al
! down the line to the smallest cloth
| ing stores in every nook and corner
all are in the market, or have placed
| larger orders than in years. No one
seems to fear overstoeking, because
| they anticipate the best fall and win
ter demand in years.
/ This optimistic feeling is nation
wide, and is as broadly manifested ii
the dry goods stores as in clothing

TIRE LIFE RESTS
ON TUBE QUALITY,
SAYS AUTHORITY

What the heart is to the body, the
tube it to the tire.-is one way Of ex-
pressing the importance of inner
tubes from the standpoint of tire mile
age. judging from the stress placed
upon tube quality by one of Akron's
leading tire men. Just as the useful
ness of the body ends with the stop
ping of the heart, so the tire becomes
useless when the tube ceases to func-
ton properly.
Furthermore, it is pointed out that
the motorist should be much more
concerned with the tubes ability to
hold air than with its tensile strength.
A tube may be strong enough to pull
train of cars and yet be full of in
visible defects that permit continuous
leaking of air. The latter will in the
end work havoc with the best of cas-
ings
The car owner can't be too care
full in his selection of inner tubes,
declares F. C. Mi1lhoff. general sales
manager of The Miller Rubber Co,
of Akron. Its the heart that keeps
the body going and its the tube that
keeps the casing up. A man certainly
wouldn't select weak heart just be
the best because so much depended
on it. When 1t comes to tires and
tubes, he should purchase the tube
that lasts the longest because such
tubes serve to prolong the life Of the
casing.
Cannot Contain Air.
"A tube may be of splendid appear
ance and at the same time permit
Of OF hu nj
chemical assimilation that it is abso
lutely impracticable as an air con
tainer for the inside of the casing.
Rubber is full of tiny pin-holes
which the finest calendaring in the
world will not entirely eliminate
Those little holes are what cause all
seepage by diffusion. Rubber chem
ically assimlates a certain amount oil
air on one side and passes it off or
the other-especially when under
pressure. One of the chief problems
in tube manufacturing therefore is
not only to reduce the possibility o.
air seepage, but also to construct {
tube that will stretch easily with the
constant distortion of the tire with
out an excessive amount of heat.
"At the Miller, in order to overcom,
air seepage, we build our tubes witt
layer on layer of pure rubber. II
tube is of but one thickness and rollet
out at one time, there is almost Ger
tain leaking of air which results II
poor service and tire trouble.
Notwithstanding that we built
thousands of tubes daily, the same de
gree of care is manifested in thei
construction that we put in our cas-
ings. Each tube must be proved al
tight by actual imitation. 1t has Il
hold a certain pressure of air TO
many hours and before the final o. K
goes on it it must grade to uniform
strength.

San Cura Ointment Relieves Pain,

Draws Out Poison and Heals
Promptly.
There Is no better remedy for burns
cuts and bruises than the antfseptic
and healing ointment called San Cura.
Every person ought to have a jar on
hand; 1t is the first and best aid to
the injured in case of accident, and is
the ideal remedy for so many other
distressing and painful ailments be-
sides. -
For example, 1t is guaranteed by
Thistlethwaite's 6 Drug Stores to re-
lieve itching, bleeding and protruding
piles, eczema, letter, ulcers, salt
rheum, boils, carbuncles and pimples,
or money back.
In case of old running sores, no
matter how long standing, a few poul-
tees of San Cura Ointment will draw
out the poison, and leave them in such
thoroughly aseptic condition that
they will heal promptly.
We advise every reader to get jar
of San Cura Ointment today, and keep
it ready for an accident or emergency
that may happen. SOC, Coo and S1.20

WOMEN WORKERS

In almost every line of war activi-

done well and have taken front rank
for doing work that released thou
sands of men for service overseas
Some women have been over-ambi-

health, have filed places once occu-
pied by men. Every woman who, be-
cause of overwork, has brought on
some ailment peculiar to her sex,
should depend upon Lydia E. Pink

Small Fire Loss In City
During Month Of May

Ten fires, resulting in the small loss
of approximately 1867, occurred in
Richmond during the month Of May.
according to the monthly report of
Chief Miller, of the fire department
With the exception of the fire last
Sunday at the plant of Louck and Hill,
none of the fires caused any consider
able damage. The Louck and Hill fire
although not fully settled, is estimated
to have caused a loss of $3.50.

LAST WEEKS COAL
Continued from page ono.)

as whole last week was $3.50 cars OF
coal and coke. OF this $685. cars were
coal and Is coke. On the B. & o. the
production was 1858 cars Of coal and
25 cars of coke.
On the Monongahela railway lasl
week there were 992 cars of coal pro-
duced on the West Virginia division OF
the road. This Is 14S cars more than
was loaded the previous week despite
the fact that Monday was holiday
last week. Last weeks production on
the Monongahela railway was 452 cars
shy Of the heavy production week, that
ending August %.
Shipments to the lakes last week
totaled 1854 cars, which is the heavi-
est to those points fofsseome time.
+ Western coal shipments, which were
boosted by the lake business, were
the heaviest last week for some months
al 746 cars. Coal loaded east last
week was 1885 cars. Other totals
were: Michigan points, 6S cars; Ohio
points, so cars; miscellaneous points,
l7s ears. abroad fuel loaded last week
at 1903 cars was the heaviest since
the week ending August %, which ran
81 cars heavier, The indications are
that the railroads are in greater need
Of coal either for immediate use or
storage coal. Miscellaneous shipments
for the week ran unusually high.
While the Fairmont region has been
going strong in production for some
yweeks there is apt to be a decline
shortly because the miners have been

present to encourage a top-notch pro-

Lake Situation.
Start was made at unloading coal
carriers at three docks at ports at the
| head OF Lake Superior on Wednesday,
but the progress was slow as it neces-
atated the breaking in Of new men for
the Jobs in many instances. Dock Of
ficlals are breaking IN new holsters
In particular. Some old operators are
expected to be back before long. Some
Of the shippers :. look for a decided
change In the dock situation during
the next forty eight hours. A num-
Der of boats that were loaded for the
head OF the lakes have been shifted,
but there is a large amount of coal
afloat for Duluth, Superior and Ash
land, and it will take some time to
clean up the waiting fleet after gen.
eral start is made on the docks.
last month the fleet only loaded
4,423,133 tons, which is decrease Of
$780,, 1913 tons compared with August
1918, when shipments were 9,725,331
tons. The loss in shipments up to
September was nearly 100000 tons
compared with the same time last
season. In 1918 the mines in the
Lake Superior district sent forward
80, S34,264 tons up to September i and
shipments for the same period this
season $>eSe 29,604,981 tons, which is
a decrease of 9,72s,2S3 tons. 1t has
byen figured that the requirements Of
the furnaces will be at least 100000
IONS less than they were last season
and as the coal shipments will he
smaller there will be no trouble
moving as much ore as was sent for
ward from September l in 1918.
Geological Survey,
Production Of bituminous coal dur
ing the week ending August % is es-
timated at 1851, 900 tons, as COM
pared with an output OF 9,0S9,O0O tons
during the preceding week, or an in
crease of 17.6 per cent. The produc
ton during the week of August 16 was
100000 below the corresponding
week of 1918, while that for the week
of August % is but 100000 below the
high level reached at this time last
year. The recovery to " new high
level is attributed by the Survey to
quickening of demand and the abate-
ment of labor trouble, mainly on the
railroads.
Production of anthracite coal also
recorded substantial increase during
the week ending August %, the output
being put at 1,S6S,0O net tons, as conf
pared with 1,642,0O0 tons during the
week of August 16.
Shortage Of cars has restricted coal
loading at Louisville, KY.
Germany is sorely in nsed Of fuel
and experts say that there is not suf-
ticient coal to operate the industries.
Export coal out Of Baltimore in July
totaled 25S,4S5 tons. Much of this was
from the Fairmont region.
