Although the two great Firestone plants at Akron
are turning out daily e. 900 tires and $4,000 tubes
the demand from passenger car owners and truck
operators continues to outstrip production.
Additional equipment already ordered for Plant
No. 2, which is devoted exclusively to the manu-
facture of 3A inch tires and tubes, will increase the
output Of this one manufacturing unit to $1,000
tires day. while in the parent plant increased
equipment for the manufacture Of Cords is steadily
building the output to it's capacity of 10000 tires
daily, which will give total capacity of $4,000
tires day.
These equipment requirements and the need of a
new steel plant that will double the output of the
Firestone Rims are being met by an issue of
$10,00000O TO Preferred Stock, the entire amount
being taken by The National City Company, the
worlds largest distributors of high grade Sc
curities.

1t is high tribute to the quality of Frestone prod

which they are distributed that the demand for

HOPE NEVER ENDS; AN ELK
NEVER DIES; ORATOR SAYS.
AT IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL

Hope never ends and an Elk never
dies" was the inspirational thought
brought out by Norman J. Johnson in
the course Of his eulogy at the annual
memorial services for the departed
members of the Phoenix lodge, B. p.
o. +. which was held at the Elks
theater yesterday afternoon in honor
OF the memory of 10 absent brothers
who died during the past year.
The services were open to the gen.
eral public and marked by an audience
which taxed the capacity OF the thea
ter. Guy Alsap, exalter ruler, opened
the services with remarks appropriate
to the occasion. He outlined clearly
the teachings of the Elks that mortal
man passes on to immortality, and
called the attention of his hearers to
the purpose of the services.
I'VE are not here to open old wounds
or bring tears to the eyes," he said,
but to honor and pay tribute to those
who have departed from our midst.
In the course of his eulogy, Norman
j. Johnson said:
Mans advent into the world as well
as his departure from it is shrouded
In deep mystery. There can be no
reconciliation of the living and the
dead. But there is some reconciliation
in the loss Of loved ones in our knowl-
edge that they have passed on to a
greater life and We would not call
them bac kif we could"
Not Taught to Die
johnson called attention to the fact
that the Bible is devoted to lessons in
how to live and nowhere within its
pages are we taught how to die. He
logically drew from this the conclu-

got furlough and a hunting pass and
went into the mountains about 11o
miles from Pekin and about 80 miles
from a railroad.
There they found a paradise for
hunters. They hired all the guides
they needed for a few coppers a day.
The first shot they fired brought down
a bustard, which weighed % pounds
and was as good eating as a turkey.
Pheasants were found in abundance,
as well as wild pigeon.
But it was the deer they were
after, and these were so plentiful that
they only took advantage of the hard
shots for fear of being considered
game hogs. In one lucky shot at al
most 500 yards with service rifle one
of them dropped a big buck which
toppled over $50 foot precipice They
had to tramp seven miles around a
high mountain to pick him up.
while they were doing all this
shooting they lived in the strangest
hunting lodge l ever heard of. 1t was
a Chinese incense factory, and it had
two disadvantages. One was the smell
and the other was the beds. These
beds were made of brick with a fire
built underneath to keep the occupants
warm. Tieken writes that they had
to move to the floor almost every
night because their host thought il
was the part of hospitality to keen

roasted.

role of a budlesque soubrette at the
first day of "A Perfect Lady" at the
Columbia yesterday.
1t depicts the story Of a girl of the
stage, Lucille LIE Jambon (Madge Ken
nedy), who is forced to fight an en-
tire town to prove that, despite her
calling, she is as good, if not better,
than those who have joined to per-
secute her In her fight against tre-
mendous odds, Lucille wins the friend

TABBY DEBUTANTE
Of 400 AND HYMN
SINGER FALL OUT

Tabby was at the debutante age OF
kittenhood and one Of the leaders OF
the younger set. She not only en-
joyed unusual popularity among the
feline 400 but was boosted to prime
favoritism with the entire North Third
street neighborhood in which she
moved. Perhaps this was partly due
to a peculiar little hobble, accounted
for by a cannibalistic Tom cat who
sank his teeth deep into Tabby's spine
when she was scarcely out Of swad-
ding clothes. This slight infirmity
won sympathy. but it was her eyes,
large, soft and appealing, which won
hearts and it was her affectionate,
persuasive mannerisms which gave
her the open sesame to Third street
doors.
A new family moved into a house
on Third street. They brought with
them a dog, big good natured shep-
| herd. Tabby bristled up her back at
| the first sight of him but was re-
assured by a friendly wagging tail
The dog courted friendship, and Tab
by, always liberal with her affections
responded. This new neighbor was
quite amicable and Tabby welcomed
him to her kingdom Cor queendom)
with regal hospitality. But there was
another neighbor with whom Tabby
had not reckoned. 1t was the owner
of the dog, small, thin faced woman
who affected tortoise rim glasses and
religion. Tabby was quite surprised
to find that religious songs ana
brooms could be mixed in such a dis
concerning way.
Song as Sweet as Straw
Her first introduction to the stiff
straw fibres was while she was sit
ting on the neighbours back stoop Civ
ing close attention to a rendition OF
an old time religious song. Tabby was
quite shocked when the singer sud
denly appeared and made bruta
swipe at her with a broom. She skill
fully lodged the onslaught and from
a distance gaZed with reproach upor
her aggressor.

singer as she closed and locked hel
door. Butt Tabby didn't understan;
the threat against her life and re.
assured by the advances of the friend
ly dog, paid him a visit the followine
day.
A thin faced woman wearing tor
toise shell rim glasses rushed int,
the yard. She grabbed the warm lit.
tie bundle of fur into her returne,
to the house. From the screened il
porch came the sound of a sharp
hatchet-like blow-an agonizin:
screech from feline throat followe,
by a second blow intermingled witt
terrifying walls of torture. Then
third blow-a few moments of intens
silence, broken by the high pitche'
voice of a woman singing The son,
