Relief Commission Makes
Special Plea for Donations
to Suffering People in
Devastated Countries.

The war is over, but the suffer
ing it brought is still intense and
in the lands which the Huns devas-
tated there are now millions of per-
sons who are destitute of many OF
the necessities of life. The call for
Christian charity is still insistent
and America, almost untouched and
unscathed by the horrors of war. is
the logical nation to offer help to
the poor people Of invaded coun-
tries.
Lack Warm Garments.
Millions Of people in Belgium are
without warm clothing and, al
though America still has more than
plenty, she is just a little slow to
answer the plea Of the poverty
stricken people across the sea.
American is not selfish, it is the
most generous nation on earth
But, since the war is over, it has
not realized that people in war-toTn
countries are still suffering awful
hardships and many will not be able
to live throughout the winter unless
America shares its wealth with
them.
Clothing Problem Unsolved.
Herbert Hoover and the Ameri-
can food mission have arranged for
sending food to these poor people,
but the problem of clothing them is
still unsolved. Five million persons
in northern France and Belgium
must be clothed from the surplus in
America. 1t seems like a gigantic
task, but it will be simple if Ameri-
cans will donate some of their old
clothing for the cause. The Com
mission for Relief in Belgium will
send all clothing free to Belgium.
A special plea for old clothing is
made in Nebraska this month and
the commission hopes to send sew
eral carloads from here.
Establish Headquarters.
Headquarters have been estab-
lished at 2lo North Eleventh street
and clothing left there will be sent
direct to Belgium. Persons unable
to bring their donations may call
the Gordon Van and Storage COM
pany, who will call.

HEAVY TIRES NO SIGN
OF QUALITY: RUBBER
INGREDIENTS DIFFER

Mere weight in an automobile tire
IS no Indication OF quality. As mat
ter of fact exceptional weight i'm a
tire may be one of the surest proofs
OF its inferiority.
The weight OF a tire depends
largely on the materials that are
mixed in with the rubber in the
course OF manufacture High spec
.hc eravity in rubber compositions
can be caused only by the use of
large percentage of heavy COM
pounding materials Tire experts
know that all parts or the casing es-
cept the tread give longer service
If they are made with the addition
of very little compromising mater
ials Another fact well known 20 the
experts IS that IN making the tread
the greatest toughness and durlbil-
itv can be secured by adding ingred-
tents that are relatively 1i-ht
The tire user can readily see that
there IS. therefore. no reason why
tires should be heavy iu order TO DE
