lieves that the war has changed the

beginning to reflect the meditation OF
Q great nation charged with infinite
responsibilities in one of the most
important crises in world history.
The nation has been keeping q
vigil with death. 1t is open-eyed to
the unseen. 1t is sensitive to the Su-
pernatural. 1t has been keyed with
anxiety to listen to the voice out of
the unknown and its imagination has
been at work as never before. Great

tion and broadening the sympathies
to human needs beyond Its line OF
vision.
Men. women. children who never
have thought or imagined or medi-
tated upon universal things before
have been moved out of themselves
and made to reflect upon the great
movements of history now in the
making.
I'VE shall feel this in the theater.
We shall have a keener and finer
spiritual demand from our audiences
and a stronger response to what we
give them.
No playwright meets this spiritual
demand as completely as Shakespeare

"Others declare that the league of
nations idea destroys the Monroe
doctrine. On the contrary, it makes
it doubly secure. For, if any Euro

terfere with affairs in this hemis-
phere we could call on the entire
league to stop it instead of having
to stop it by ourselves.

is bringing them league of nations
1T is the longing for league to
make war forever impossible which
has formed itself in the hearts Of tbe
people of England, France and
Italy, who have won the war. 1t
is this hope that has carried them
through. The winning of the war is
only one step toward its realization
There is, in fact, already league

WHAT TYPE UT TIRE SHALL | USE ON MY
 TRUCK?|s IS QUESTION

The development of tires for all classes of transportation service has been one of the wonderful accomplish ments of the decade. In both solid and pneumatic types, tires have been de- veloped. capable of delivering tens, twenties and thirties of thousands of miles, and even more, instead of the one and two thousands of early days.
 There are separate fields for all kinds of tires. Some users demand a pneumatic tire. and others a solid tire. The field for pneumatics, however. is rapidly expanding and many trucks are now changing over to this type of tire.
 'WSat type of tire shall put on my truck?" is a question often asked these days. according to the local branch manager for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company This of course. all depends upon what use you make of your truck" he says. "As between solids and pneumatics, each affords well-defined advantages in certain kinds of service
 For short hauls, through coDgested traffic, where slow speeds are obliga- tory and pavements reasonably good, solid tires serve economically and well But in long distance transport, inter- urban freighting and general trucking, | sential,, pneumatic tires are far more { efficient and saving.
 Pneumatic tires permit increased 1 speed, which means that a truck in general trucking service may make more trips in a day than formerly. ! When the reduction of repair expense | IS a considerable item, for the big pneumatic tires take up the road 1 shocks and prevent them from affect : ing the mechanism of the truck. Many truck owners who have changed over from solids to pneu- matics have been agreeably surprised at the advantage they have gained 1T, | increased speed, greater range of oper- l ation, larger returns from gasoline and oil. and the reduction of depreciation, not to mention the satisfaction of mak- ing deliveries of merchandise in good condition.
 These penumatic tires for trucks come in sizes S6x6, 3Sx7. 40xS. 42x9 and 44x1O. accommodating trucks up to five t-- load capacity They are of cord construction, made in the same man. ner as cord tires for passenger cars except that there are more plies oi cords, the sidewalks are sturdier and the tread much thicker
 ''The possibility of puncture in these
 tires is very remote. for the thick tread
 is exceedingly tough and practically
 proof against puncture. So that tn,
 old bugbear of punctures is weIl-nigi
 eliminated.
 These tires are now in use in more
 than 400 cities in this country as wei
 as on our Akron Boston highwa,
 transport line
