GOODRICH COMPANY TELLS REASON FUR
 TIRE PRICES DROP

A general decrease in the cos+ of automobile and motor truck tires. t,,bss and tire accessories to the public has been announced by the local branch of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber comusnv This liberal reduction is the first to take effect since out country became involved in the world war.
 The lowering of the cost of ruhher tires is not due to any apathy in fire buying according to prominent off cials, because they find the demand for their products well in excess of the supply. Three factors entered into the tire price revision:
 First, the remarkable industrial ef- ficiency in the rubber industry allowed them to change over quickly from a war footing to a peace basis, and tire production today is nearing a mark greater than at any time previous to the world war.
 Second, all war restrictions on the importation of crude rubber have been removed enabling manufacturers to keep ample supplies on hand.
 Third. considerable progress was made in factory efficiency because of the strenuous pace demanded by the army and navy progress in the nrose eution of the war when solid and pneu matic tires, tubes, gas masks. dirigible and observation balloons and surgical and mechanical rubber goods were turned out in tremedous quantities. Time saving devices and methods in augurated during the war were main tained and applied to the peace time production of tires.
 The rubber industry is pledged to supplying the need of this country and the world with indispensable rubber products. In spite of the war. our army in the field and our people at home continued to call for rubber pro- ducts in large quantities that were al- ready beging made prior to the war. In addition, the rubber industry was fortunate in being able to measure up to still larger and more strictly war time requirements. Right quickly it was appreciated that this industry in cluded great institutions filled with trained men and women and equipped not only to build dirigibles and balloons, l the eyes of our great armies, but in ad- | dItion truck, car and aeroplane tires which weer so urgently needed l In the manufacture and distribution of tires, the rubber industry has found field of great usefulness as an ally | to the motor car and truck manufac- 1 turers. necessarily, the industry is l seeking to provide the automobiles and | trucks of the country with tires that will render not only better service but that will, through the greater re- siliency and mileage life now built into them, serve the users needs at a very substantial reduction in cost
 Through every action of the country ] the rubber industry is seeking to faci.
 litate the development of transporta-
 tion over our highways by helping tt
 carry the railroads influence back into
 the remote areas now inaccessible anC
 unprofitable for mans venture, ana helping to ultimately provide universa
 transportation that will serve ever,

ederate ironclad Albemarle.

federate ironclad Albemarle
 This was the first time that the tor pedo had been practically used in bel ligerent operations, and it marked the opening of a new epoch in naval war fare. It also made apparent the need of some means of detecting these small boats before they had time to get near enough to place the charge and fire it.
 The first answer to this necessity was piece of apparatus consisting of an electric arc lamp and a Fresnel lens, inclosed in a metal case, and mounted in such a way as to be capable of rotation in two places, thus insuring the illumination of any spot.
 About ten years later Gin 1S7D, to be precise), Robert Whitehead invented the torpedo which bears his name. This torpedo, as is well known, is dis charged from a boat when some dis tance away from the object of attack. Here arose a fresh complication, for although the search lamp and the Fresnel lens answered admirably for the short ranges necessitated by the use of the spar torpedo, it was soon found that a boat could lie outside the zone of light and discharge a White

head torpedo without being seen.


 Attempts were therefore made to obtain a more powerful beam of light, and these efforts eliminated in the F'resnel lens being superseded by a glass mirror coated with silver. This remains the essential form of the mod ern searchlight Numerous improve ments have been effected, principally in the matter of the lamps, the mirror and the control.
 Although introduced primarily to meet naval requirements, the search light is not by any means unknown in the mercantile marine. At least one is provided for in the equipment of every up to date liner, and no ship is allowed to pass through the Suez canal, even in time of peace, without one of a par ticular type (if the vessel has not one of her own she must borrow one from the canal authorities).
 Again, no steam yacht of any preten- isons whatever would be considered t be complete if there were not searcl ! light in it's equipment. Those steam ! CTS also which have occasion to navi- gate the large rivers of South Americs and of the continent of Africa and the

great inland lakes of North America

great inland lakes of North America find a searchlight invaluable.
 In determining the power of searchlight the moon is a basic quan- tity. It has been found that the moon gives sufficient light to make a tor pedo boat easily distinguishable at distance of 1000 yards. The most powerful source of artificial light in general use at the present time is an electric arc taking a current of f50 amperes. There are more powerful lamps, but they are not in general use. The 150-ampere lamp is generally placed at height no greater than sixty feet, at which elevation it makes available less than half the candle power represented by the rays of the fuIl moon

against covenant breakers, publicity Of
treaties, and mandatory system.
The much debated Article X, under
which the members would guarantee
one another's integrity against external
aggression, had it's counterpart almost
word for word in the American plan.
At variance with the covenant as A.
nally included in the treaty, however,
the Presidents covenant would have
emitted reference to the Monroe Doc
trine and the right of withdrawal
would have empowered the council to
inquire into the feasibility of abolish
ing compulsory military SERVICE" and
would have contained provision rela-
tive to the freedom of the seas. The
council and assembly would have been
differently constituted and instead Of an
unanimous vote being required in the
council, any three nations represented
would have been empowered to veto anv
decision.
The American plan reached the Capt.
toll just as Secretary Lansing was con-
GLIDING his testimony and just after he
had laid before the committee a copy
o. the resolution embodying league
principles presented to him at the peace
conference. The resolution, which never
was acted on formally. followed in gen.
eral the American covenant draft.
At the end OF his testimony. the
secretary was asked to send before
the. committee tomorrow David Hunt
er Miller. a state department official
who acted as adviser to the League
of Nations commit'~' at Versailles.
President Wilson also notified the
Senate today in response to requests
sent by it to the White House. that
he had no knowledge Of any attempt
by the Japanese delegates to intimi-
date the Chinese representatives at
Versailles and that he had mo in
formation about the secret Japanese
German treaty negotiated during the
war. 3.
During the day there was no gem
eral debate on the treaty in the Sen
ate, but Senator Poindexter, Repub-
lican. Washington, bitterly attacked
President Wilson for his part in the
peace negotiations. declaring he had
neglected" his duties at home and
had entered into covenant violat-
ing American traditions and impair
ing the constitutional powers Of Con-
gress. Tomorrow Chairman Lodge
Of the Foreign Relations committee
will speak on the League Of Nations.
A subcommittee was named by the
Senate judiciary committee today to
consider whether there is any con-
stitutional barrier to ratification of

SENATE DRY BILL.
More Liberal T h a n
House Measure
Permits Home Manufacture Light
Wines and Cider for Personal Con-
sumption-Lsss Drastic Provisions
for Search Warrants-0ne.H Half Of
One Per Centage Remains

Washington, Aug. 11.-Prohibition
enforcement legislation advanced an
other step in Congress today when
the Senate judiciary committee be-
gan consideration of the bill passed
by the House last June as amended
and liberalized by the judiciary sub
committee comprising Senators
Sterling Of South Dakota, chairman;
Fall of New Mexico, and Norris of
Nebraska, Republicans, and Overman
of North Carolina, Walsh of Montana
and King of Utah, Democrats.
Like the House, the Senate sub
committee adopted the plan of hav-
ing separate sections in the bill to
deal with war time and constitution
al prohibition.
The committee left unchanged
the House definition of intoxicating
beverages as those containing one
half Of one per cent. or more Of al
cohol.
AS revised, the bill will not inter-
fere with storage and personal use
Of intoxicants in the homes of in
dividuals.
Probably the most liberal amend
ment to the House bill is provision
-exemptinG- from penalties any perl
son misunderstanding nom Intoxicating
cider and fruit juices exclusively fol
use in his house."
This would permit home manufac-
ture of light wines and cider for per-
sonal consumption, and the amend
ment, except by implication in con-
nection with the definition Of intoxi.
cants, does not define "non-intoxicat-
ing" beverages.
Stricken from the House bill was
the provision making 1t unlawful for
persons to be intoxicated or to drink
liquor on trains. street cars, jitneys,
boats or other public conveyances.
Another liberalization is a provi-
sion that reports of manufacture,
sales and transportation of liquor
made to the internal revenue collect
or, shall not be open to inspection of
the general public, but kept solely
for scrutiny Of the commissioner, his
agents, court or other officers.
The House search warrant provi-
sion also was made less drastic, the
sub committee amending the search
and seizure section so as to provide
that search warrants may be issuer
only under the usual practice pro-
vided by existing federal law and not
on mere suspicion that liquor is be-
ing stored for unlawful purposes.
