Despite the immensely of this figure,

Gent fullytoS satisfy all public demands.
Nothing in the history of the tire In
dustry approaches the intensity of
favor In which Goodyear Tires today
are everywhere held.
1t is significant that this enormous
demand is made up of no other thing
than the normal, widespread, and
steadily growing preference for Good
year Tires.
No fictitious discounts, no delusivedef>
mite mileage guarantee, no expedients
of any sort have been employed to
stimulate artifcially the even march

On the intrinsic merit of the product,
and the service it has year after year
delivered, rests the unexampled lead

Certainly nothing less than conspicu-
Gus superiority could thus win and

the sensible motorists of the world.

OLD COAT GOOD ENOUGH
French Premier VIII Wear One
With Bullet Holes i'm 1t.

Paris April 2-"While clothes are
SO expensive 1 am not going to indulge
in the luxury of a new overcoat just
because a fool shot a few holes in my
old coat" Premier Clemenceau is re-
ported to have said.
The Tigers jacket and overcoat,
both showing bullet holes, were pieces
of evidence that had to be produced at
the trial of his would-be murderer.
Emile Coffin. NJ. Ciemeneeau, how
ever, happens to be particularly fond
of those garments and he asked M.
Ignace. under secretary of state for
war. to let him have them back quick
Iy. NJ. Ignace replied in tones of gen.
tie reproof that the articles were in
the hands of the Judiciary and that
under the rules. it would be quite i'm
possible to part with. them until the
case was past the appeal stage. Then
NJ Clemenceau, WHO is an enemy of
red tape. did what in French is de-
scribed as an !. "efficacious act" the
nature of which is not specified but
may be surmised. His garments came
back the same day.
The French are a thrifty race and
expert clothes members. The bullet
holes can be stopped so as to defy
detection and the coat will be as good
as ever. This is M. C1emenceau' IS
opinion.

That was an ante-war period Exclu-
siveness has gone out of fashions a
back number. Therefore. it seems to
many of the members of the Wom-
ans club. that if the club is to keep
abreast of the day, and be the big,
progressive club that the name indi-
Gates, especially with the club house
in prospect, the membership limit, if
there must be a limit, should be
stretched. rather than squeezed.
For Presidency of Club.
A number of names have been
banded in the last few days as FEAST
BILE candidates for the presidency of
the club. Perhaps the one most ire
quently mentioned is that of Mrs IL
E. Ray. Mrs. Ray has been one of
the most faithful and efficient work
ers in the club for years. She is
broad minded and capable, with
graciousness which has endeared her
to the members
Mrs. Charles Dillon is another wom-
an whose capability has been proven
and who would make a very strong
president She served as secretary
during the year Of Mrs Beggs' presi-
deney, and her work might we'll be
called flawless. She has executive
ability of a very high order, is always
just and fair and if elected would lead
the club thru any shoals Which might
be encountered.
Mrs. Bennett r. Wheeler has a fol-
lowing in the club that would be a
strong factor in the election if she
would consent to the use of her name.
Mrs. Wheeler has been on the board
at different times and has always
stood for what was for the best adj
Vancement of the club. AS chairman
of the forestry department. she was
instrumental in starting several moves
which were of civic value. If elected,
Mrs. Wheeler would fill the positi on
creditably and charmingly.
Mrs. Frank Squires is another popu-
lar member of the club who is being
spoken of in that connection. Mrs.
Squires has been an untiring worker
in the various war time drives and
has shown leadership that would
prove a valuable asset as head of the
Womaus club. Her manner is another
asset, and has won her a large fol-
lowing in the club.
Mrs. John Movers has been urged
by many as a promising candidate.
She is able and strong, and would
conduct the affairs of the club with
dignity.
Those, who know what a wonderful
president of the Military Sisterhood
Mrs. E. c. Fable made last year, would
like to put her forward as candidate.
Mrs Fable has kept herself rather in
the background in the Woman's club,
so that the club membership general
ly has had no opportunity to learn
that she has executive ability. SPLEEN
did ideas, and is big, broadminded and
just.
With the personnel of the Woman's
club to choose from it would seem
that there might be any amount of
good material from which a president
might be made without establishing
the second term precedent.

wearing a soldiers uniform and seven

Second Term Boom of Mrs. Nc
Carter Meets Opposition.
MYRA WILLIAMS FARRELL.

The big question in woman circles
today, now that the city election is out
of the way. is. who will head the
Woman's club for the coming year.
Up until the first of this week it
seemed to be a foregone conclusion
that Mrs. w. a. McCarter would sue
coed herself as president of this larg-
est womans organization in Topeka.
Now there has arisen a question as
to whether it would not be a danger

presidents might not prove as capable
as Mrs. McCarter has proven herself
to be, this last year, as well as at pre-
vious times when she has headed the
club. Yet should the recognition of
her value to the club take the form
of a second term, it might be embar-
raising in the future. when not to fol-
low the precedent, would cause hurt
feeling and perhaps dissens.on.
The strongest plea urged by those
who are warmly advocating re-elec-
ton for Mrs. McCarter, is that she

made upon the public thru the war.
While this is true, it is equally true

heartily in favor of club house as
the members who wanted to go ahead.
There is not one woman connected
with the Woman's club, but earnestly
hopes to seq the idea cryStalliZed in

to succeed Mrs. McCarter will put her
shoulder to the wheel and push hard
for the project. no matter what her

One of the probable issues which
will come in for attention in the next
administrat ion-if, indeed. the present

ship limit 1t is said that there is a
tendency to contract, rather than to
expand. This is contrary to the idea
of many of the club members who
are in favor of throwing down the
bars, and admitting any decent, self
respecting woman who feels she
needs what the Woman's club has to
offer and is willing in turn, to con-
tribute the best of which she herself
is capable.
The Woman's club of Omaha has a
membership of 1000 women. In
other cities the same idea exists in
regard to expansion. The time has
passed when eXclusiveness is popular.
