IS FAR
FROM RUINED BY
LATE WORLD WAR
Torn Continent Will Recover
Soon to Enter New Career
Of Reconstruction, Says
Oscar T. Crosby.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-That Eu-
rope has not been wrecked and ruined
by the war, blu on the other hand Is
IN fairly sound economic condition, ID
the belief Of Oscar r. Crosby, a resident
In Europe from 1917 to 1918, and presi-
dent Of the interallied council on war
purchases and finance and assistant
secretary OF the United States treas
ury during the war period.
IL Is Mr., Crosby's mature conviction
that peace finds the world with:
~ A larger production plant Unelud-
ing agrieulturel than 1t had In 1914,
n probably having a value greater
than the losses mentioned below.
.l2l A supply of labor possibly more
efficient and almost as numerous as
1t had In 1914.
az Resources in raw material suffi.
cient for the present needs Of the race
az No considerable losses excepting
merchant ships destroyed, the wear and
tear on railroads, and the devastation
wrought In battle areas.
Europe has not been crushed by the
war, and her outlook Is not a desolate
one Mr.. Crosby declared in the course
OF a recent interview, When a CONT
nent or IA country Is ruined you do not
nave to call witnesses to prove it. The
facts are Their too clear to admit dis
pute. The great war has been paid for
In full. What is left Is ours to do with
as we please. In war or In peace, the
world taken as a whole pays its bills in
fun every night 1t goes to bed, and Il
must continue to do so until II estab-
fishes communication with the man in
the moon and imports green cheese on

rails have been shot away In the war
II is true; but they were dug up and
prepared for that very purpose. Shoot.
ing them away has impaired what may

Secretary, who put up the money to start this company, expecting
the money to be returned to them as the stock was sold, have
agreed now to take every dollar back in Stock in The Seven States

GIRLS MUST LEARN
 TO DO HOUSEWORK

London. March 1S.-So many young girls have been employed in munition factories during the past four years of war and have, been deprived of training for the household, that the London coun- ty council has opened domestic science servants or to look after their own houses after they are married,
 In school, which has been opened at the unemployed center in Shepherds Bush, the girls, who had just been freed from factory work. spent their time sing ing, whistling and throwing dishtowels across the room They appeared at the school clad in their best finery, with ringlets about their necks and trinkets hanging from their ears. Their neatly capped teacher, however, soon convinced them this was not the raiment for house hold work, and in a few days they were as neatly and as sensihly clad as she.
 The practical course of the school in- cludes instruction in preparing soups. sauces, fish meat, buildings, pastry and cakes, and some of the girls already have been employed by chocolate and candy manufacturing concerns. Others are finding employment in clubs and restaurants under competent chefs. while still others are going into families as cooks.
 When questioned upon admission to the school as to the kind of employment they preferred a majority of the girls expressed desire for factory work. but after becoming interested in cooking they invariably put factory work sec ond.

GOODYEAR TRUCKS
 COVER LONG TRIP
Big Pneumatics Show Their Superiority in Tire
 Demonstration

From Akron, O., to Macon Ga, 1925 miles, to participate in big motor truck demonstration in the latter city, cover ing the trip in leisurely fashion in eight days, is the latest exploit of two of the Go odyear Tire and Rubber company's big pneumatic tired trucks, diverted from the company's Akron Boston express line for this special journey, says Jack Thompson of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber com pany of Birmingham.
 The occasion of the trip was the big demonstration of the practicablity of motor truck transportation held under the direction of the Macon Chamber of Com merce on April and 8, the first of its kind held east of the Mississippi river
 The route followed took the truck through Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Chattanooga and Atlanta, and in the main the trip was made over the Dixie highway from Cincinnati.

Therefore, it is reasonable to expect percentage of cars. though the equip- ment on the majority will prove satis factory in every respect.
 When tires are loaded beyond their normal carrying capacity, the fabric IS more or less strained Besides, hing ing action is developed and heat is generated at the edges of the tread
 Oversize tires were primarily de- signed for exceptional and hard serv- ice, but have come into more general favor because of extra strength, easler riding. and longer mileage The resiliency> of larger tires reduces tie traction slippage on the rear wheels, and lessens vibrati to the mechan- ism of the car. When oversize tires are placed on front wheels which were tires the diameter overall will be iil- creased about one inch. and thes peed- ometer should be readjusted. otherwise the mileage recorded will be less than that actually covered.
 Nor can any harm be derived from the adoption of the proper oversize tires. There is not enough added weight to affect transmission or diff ferential, or make any objectionable difference in the power

Car construction, power, lateral and .rsctlon strains upon the tires must be kept in mind when determining the diameter and cross section of tire equipment. but the weight of the tire Is pro bably the most important factor This can be found almost anywhere hy running the front half of the car on platform scales and noting the result The weight carried on each tire will be one-Ealt the total. This operation can be performed in the case of the rear wheels! and the same thing holds true Tho middle of the wheelbase will be the weight dividing point between the front and the rear halves of the car The approach to the scales should be level If reasonable care is exercised, the tctal of the two operations, that iS. the recorded weight of the front and rear parts of the machine, should Ie within 20 or 30 pounds of the weight of the ear. when all of it is upon she scales.

 The remarkable trip Of these trucks without mishap. and with only one tire ctange-a 12.e1o-mile itxio-taken off in Kentucky, is the best kind of proof of the practcabili1y of motor truck trans pcrtatton with large trucks on pneumatic tres, as far as road conditions are con cerned. In fact. so complete has been their success on this southern pilgrimage that in response to requests from many sources the trucks will stay in the south indefinitely, demonstrating the feasibility of motor-truck hauling.

few years has been making his home
IN Knoxville, where he numbers his
friends by his acquaintance. He is
a kind, genial gentleman of the old
school and is beloved by all who know
him. The following interesting state
ment was made by him in person to
the Tanlac representative:
Il am SO years old and always en-
Joyed good health up to about six
years ago, when I suffered a nervous
breakdown and my general health
gradually failed me. My principal
trouble was indigestion and catarrh,
but my whole system seemed to be out
of shape. My condition finally got so
bad l couldn't sleep at night and al
ways after eating I would suffer so
from indigestion and heartburn that
l felt just like there a coal of fire in
my stomach. My hearing and vision
were also affected. I consulted sew
eral doctors here in Knoxville and
and other cities and they helped me
considerably and I finally got so l
could go around, but somehow I just
couldn't feel right and could not sleep
at night, which made me awfully ner-
vous and nothing I would eat seemed
to agree with me.
II began reading about this Tanlac
when you first came here, but did not
decide to try the medicine until I
talked with a friend Of mine who had
actually used it. He said it was the
best thing he had eve taken, and that
was sufficient proof for me.
II have just finished the first bot
tie and came here this morning, not
only to buy the second bottle, but to
tell you just what it has done for me.
l began enjoying my meals from the
first few drops. My nervousness is
gone and I can sleep like a child and
always wake up in the morning ready
for breakfast and feeling refreshed.
[ am very fond of onions, but was al
most afraid to eat them, because they
always disagreed with me so; I could
taste them for hours afterwards. I
ate one for dinner the other day and
it agreed with me perfectly and I
felt no bad effects whatsoever. I tell
you I am beginning to feel like a diff
ferent man and am always going to
keep this Tanlac on hand. It has done
me more good than anything else in
the medicine line I have ever taken.
I certainly do recommend it to my
friends. It is really remarkable"

Pershing's Faith in Yankees
Never Wavered; Always Sure
Hun Would Be Beaten

French financial interests received
word that the situation was very crit
ical and when the crown prince late In
May burst over the Chemin des Danes
with his armies and started for Paris,
some of the big French banks began
removing their securities to the south.
Crowds damned the stations of rail-
ways leading to southern France. and
many civilians made their exodus in
carts This was news that could not
pass the censors at the time.
Again last October. when American
divisions were fighting almost cease
lessly in the Argonne, coming out OF
the line for few days rest and to
receive requirements for the men who
had been cut to pieces and then going
back into one of the most desperate
struggles in history, 1t was questioned
in some quarters II the allied leaders
were not making a mistake in not
hating their great drive and giving
their men rest.
General. the men are awfully tired"
a correspondent told Pershing at his
advanced headquarters In the little
town hall at Soully one morning. "One
division that was all cut up is going
back into the line tonight after only
a few days rest"
II know they are tired" replied
Pershing, and there was deep feeling
in his voice. II know they are tired.
