NOBBY CORDS ARE

Tire Expert Says They Are Growing in Favor Among
 Truck Owners

One feature of truck operation which has found great vogue in Europe, but which is believed by the United States Tire company to have very little chance of any general adoption here is the use of dual pneumatic tires.
 The United States Tire company's ex- perts are of the opinion that the large single pneumatic tire meets all the re- quirements, and that the use of the dual tire is decidedly unsound practice.
 It is obvious that when truck equipped with duals travels over un- even pavements or crowned roads most of the weight of the car many times rests on one instead of both of the pair. The one tire is not strong enough 10 carry the full weight and rapid deterlora- tion of the abused tire is the result. further reason why dual pneumatlcs should not be used is that it is practl- cal impossibility to initiate the pair to exactly that point where the load will be equally distributed between them' and undue wear again results.
 The big pneumatic is purely an Amerl- can development with the United States Tire company pioneer in the fleid. European tire makers so far as can De learned were never successful Tn pro ducing satisfactory pneumatics Of the large truck sizes, and contented them-

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur Recipe and
 Nobody Will Know

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmothers time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully, dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix ture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out of date. Nowadays by asking at any drug store for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old prepara- tion, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended up- on to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a, time By ID )rning the gray hair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, it becomes beautiful ly dark and glossy.-Aov.

Buy Good Tires

You owe it to yourself before deciding on which tire to buy to compare the prices of various standard makes. In making this comparison. you should, or course. also remember quality, for there are two distinct classes of tires. First, those that are made to sell at low prices. Second, those that are made with tho ideal of high quality in mind. It stands to reason that it is the better to buy a tire of the latter class If you can get it at the right price.
 Most motorists have mistaken notion that all quality tires are highpriced, but fortunately this idea is not founded in fact You cannot get better tires than Michelins, yet they are almost os low in price or the ordinary makes. In consid- ering any other make, therefore, ask yourself, "Is this tire cheaper than the Micffelin; and if so am I Justified in sacrificing Michelin high quality just to save a few dollar n first cost?" our stock is complete and we are prepared to render the best service in the city

 "In February, 1915. we showed our orig inal demonstrator, No 101, to three thou sand people at our opening. The car was then sold and in December of the same year was resold to the United States Stock Food company.
 'In January this company bought a new car, and we again took possession Of No 1G1 in trade For some months we us ed this car to demonstrate the remark able durability of the finish. We cleaned up the car, repainted the wheels, put on new lenders and actually very few people knew it was used car until we called :Feir attention to the fact
 Finally, in August 1918, this car was sold for $50, just s25 more than its origi- nal price in 1915. If any other car has had n more interesting resale history I'll stake my judgment that it's another Dodge Brothers car"

MIR. BRUSH AND HOG ISLAND

Hog Island has, been maligned so extensively and frequently of late that it comes as a shock to learn that any man is so bold as to defend it. But there Is such man. He is Matt c. Brush, president of the company operating the plant.
 Without debating the charges that expenditures have been enormous, MT. Brush declares that every cent expended was we'll invested and that put into it. Aside from the ship building facilities, the construction of Hog Island is justified as a terminal, he says. Tt is worth more now than the government has invested in it be- cause it is as good as any deep water terminal in the country. Tn addi- tion, Mir. Brush says Phila delphia can afford to spend $10O,0O0,000 for it's acquisition and develop it. The "island' is one of the greatest ad- vertisements the United States has and casts. a weighty psychological in f1uence on. the world of commerce. !;
 Anyone who uses the words 'psy- chological' and Hog Island'' in the same sentence is indeed an intrepid person. But MT. Brush seems to have a, good argument. In Hog Island, America has the greatest ship produc ing plant in the world, and the best of it is Europe knows it.

EMIGRATION FROM AMERICA. (By Rollin Lynde Hartt in "The Outlooks)

hefore Germanys onslaught or c''li1zat1on foreigners were pouring into America at the rate of million year. Historic migrations-Bu gundian, Visigoth, and the rest paled by comparison We had prob lem on our hands: sociologist sts sroaned, laborites tore their hair. The situation was worth a months board annually to a magazine writer, q small fortune to such illustrators as MT. W. T. Benda and his fellow art
 lSls' Then in a twinkling the whole
 'hlng stopped. Like a grandfather s CLOCK '-never 10 go again?
 Few of us believed quite that. With the dawn of peace it would start up atresh; not at the old rate, but at a rate vastly more astounding. The i'm Doverished, the affrighted, the disil- lusioned, and the heart-sick would flee ruined Europe. Even Germans would come. There was proof of this. And when America entered the war the proof grew stronger. Miss Mary Ethel McAuIey and Miss Blanche Slo- cum heard Germans say even then, The minute this horror is over we shall hasten to Am erica" Returning home, they published what they had heard. It was most convincing and led to serious conclusions. If Ger mans planned to come. how much more eagerly would Serbs, Ruman- ians, Russians, and western Asiatics plan to come?
 But reflect. We have stifened our immigration laws since 1914. They now provide a literacy test ruling out "all aliens over sixteen years of age physically capable of reading who cannot read the English language or some other language or dialect" That alters things nsideraby. Then, too, governments abroad have a new and tremendously compelling motive for keeping their people at home. They need their man power as never be- fore. Italy for example, has lost on the battlefield some two million work CTS. They need their taX-bea ring power. For pensions. for civil relief and for reconstruction enormous sums must be raised. Every citizen who leaves makes the per capita bur den heavier for those who stay by. Protest against his leaving will be not only an adniinistra tive protest, it will be a popular protest as well.
 Meanwhile there are those among us who foresee a. phenomenon wholly new and ing-enigrat ton from America. Shrewd observers predict it. 'Instead Of a large European inn migration," says Mir. W. B. Joyce, president of the National Surety com- pany, "experts expect large emigra-
