HOUSING WAR IN
 PARIS IS BEING
 BITTERLY WACED

Paris, Aug. 23-The struggle be- tween Parisian landlords, who seek to double or treble the income from their properties, and tenants, who are un- able to find vacant apartments at any reasonable price, has reached a dead lock.
 House owners refuse to extend leases or to advertise for rent apart ments that have been vacated. Ten ants, unable to find new quarters, re- fuse to move at the behest of the landlords, while the courts have ceased to entertain applications for writs of expulsion, there not being enough process servers to handle thoss already issued.
 Fifty thousand notices to vacate were served on tenants for the end oi the second quarter of this year. Such notices were received by all the ten ants of some apartment houses, show ing how generally landlords have sought to increase rents. The extent of the movement has provoked the passage by the Chamber of Deputies of Q bill extending for two years al verbal leases made since the begin ming of the war. Leases made prioI to the war already were protected by decrees and previous legislation.

No land, no treasure, no economic privileges. To gain freedom alone-freedom to work out Q nations own destiny unimpeded by the sinister designs and selfish am bitions of other peoples There is only one way in which such freedom can be obtained.

DROVE 1S,O0O
 MILES ON FISK
 STANDARD TIRES

Proof of the uniformly good service obtainable these days from standard makes of automobile tires is con- tained in record of performance kept by the Commissioners of CoWeta County, Georgia.
 In an Overland car, the Superin- tendent of County Works drove over 1S,OOO miles before a single tire was changed on the set of Fisk tires with which the car was equipped. After that many more miles were checked off on the speedometer on three ot the four.
 This record was made in the face of difficult road conditions, and often times with a load of five to ten work men.
 This performance proved so satis- factory to the honorable commission CTS that the clerk of the board, T. G Farmer, has since ordered more Fisks for other cars.

BUSINESS SLUMP WAS PREVENTED
 BY ADVERTISING

The Manufacturers Record, in a recent editorial, takes the ground that what saved the United States from a period of depression last spring was the policy of advertising It calls attention to the a appeal issued by the government to business men, that they should advertise freely Last winter the financial outlook was very doubtful. It was generally ex- pected that the release of the soldiers and the cloe.ng of the war work plants, would create an enormous amount of unemploymc mt.
 The government took the position that what the people needed was con fidence, and that liberal advertising would tend to promote that feeling. and would stimulate a buying move ment that would keep all the indus tries busy.
 As the result of the government ap- peal, or of ordinary business sense, the commercial interests of the coun- try have done an unprecedented amount of advertising since January IT, And this must have been one cause of the tremendous buying movement that has set in. Certainly never be- fore has so much money been in cir culation.
 Confidence is as contagious as fear Optimistic advertising spreads abroad the idea that business is going to be good. And if people believe that business is going to be good, it usually Is.
 There is of course such a thing as undue optimism. But pessimism and fear promote a great deal more indus trial disaster than hope and courage Every man who advertises makes II his foundation principle that there i' always a market for good goods, and there always will be. Every one who goes ahead with faith in that idea encourages many others to buy free ly and plan for future needs. And when people are doing that, bushes: can't be bad.

What is babbilt metal? You
may be surprised to know that
there is only one baBbitt metal
and that is the formula compound
ed by Isaac Babbitt about 60
years ago for which Congress
gave him medal and $50, 900,
1t is composed Of $50 per cent Of
tin, 81 per cent Of copper and
IA per cent Of anthony. All
other lining alloys have been att
tempts to improve this formula in
it's physical characteristics or
reduce it's price. By custom these
formulas have been called babbitt
metals, even though they contain
no tin or copper but like No. 4
babbitt, consist of lead and ant
imony.
What is the function of a lin
ing alloy? 1t is a soft metal inter
posed between two hard surfaces,
usually one stationary which
holds the metal, and the other rev
diving. Its purpose is to elm
mate friction as far as possible,
