NUNS fitONE VALUABLE AII-YEAR-ROUND TOOI.-THE
MOTOR Is CHEAPER THAN THE HORSE

around the farm. On farm equipped
with a pneumatic tire truck and a
tractor there is absolutely nothing
for a horse to do. When this fact is
appreciated there will be a great
awakening and broader expansion
which would naturally assure larger
production and loweDing in the cost
of living would automatically follow.
Every valid objection to trucks for
farm use springs from the solid tire.
The use of solid tires is hurting the
manufacturers truck business with
the farmer intellectually. Only about
l per cent of the farmers in the
United States own trucks. All the
disadvantages of solid tire trucks are
corrected by the use of Goodyear cord
truck tires and their use also affords
many other exclusive advantages.
1t would really seem as though the
success of the truck on the farm is
dependent entirely on the truck man
ufacturer and truck dealer being able
to show the farmer the logic of trucks
equipped with pneumatic tires.

(BY BETTY BROWN N. E. A. Fashion FxDert

New York, July 31-Dear, clever MT Shakespeare described the autumn modes of 1919 several centuries ago when he mended-"Costly thy raiment as thy purse can buy-but not expressed in fancy!"
 And fashionable women of America will find their autumn Wardrobes just that-costly, oh dear, yes-but far re- moved from the freakish and the cx- treme.
 The tailored frocks of serge, duve- tyn, broadclOth and the inevitable jersey Weaves are fashioned in the straight, loose style in present vogue.
 In such gowns the new point is the one-sided effect-achieved by a bit of embroidery at the right of the bodice, repeated on the opposite sleeve-and in back, a reverse of the order.
 Evening frocks show more novelty than day clothes.
 Backless frOckS-and most of them are in this class, display long trains. Lace is the choice of all designers. Paris especially favors the all-lace dress in the corsetless type. There is usually a sash of colored chiffon or satin, With one long streamer termi- mating in a train.
 Interest in the pretty white and colored neckWear, gilets and similar pieces is not likely to wane with the summer, even though coats do hide them from view a part of the time. so the manufacturers have evolved new pieces. One of them is a gilet of real princesse lace with a section of it crossed with narrow Valenciennes frills, designed to give the eff feet of a Camisole. Another is round collar of fine net and Valen- ciennes much resembling one of the old fashioned berthas. Neither of these pieces is out yet but will be within a week or two.
 The necktie itself will continue with the 'Square'' first in favor and backs lower than the front for eve- ming dresses and a little shallow square or round in back.
 Belts and sashes are specially fea- tured, the latter being rather gor- geOuS affairs. They arc of Mandarin or else, French persuasion. The Man darin saSheS are of COlorful em mbrOid- cries on rich satin or velvet or one of the metal cloths brocaded or plain with ends fringed or tasselcd or weighted with a ''tosque' which is a pendant ornament of silver or gold and a new note in fashions.
