Good Tires Are Dark in Color

That it's tires are now made in dark colors isnot due to fad in style, but to important improvements in the com pounds which make up the tire tread, is the statement of the United States Co.,
 After long period of experimenta- tion, this company developed a new formula for its tread compounds so much tougher and much better wearing, that it was adopted as the standard of manufacture, even though it called for a change from the light color to which the public has been accustomed.
 Before the dark tire was placed on the market it was thoroughly tested by the testing fleets of the company. These tests demonstrated that the dark com pound produced tires of greater mileage than the lighter stock. The dark col ored tires have been on the market long enough now to demonstrate their super iority.
 Aside from the matter of the quality of the tire, the dark colored tires has decided advantage in that it is not so easily discolored as the light tire. To keep a light colored tire presentable re- quired frequent dressing, but the black tire needs no attention of this sort.
 If the dark tire offered no superior points, the light tire would probably be in demand with buyers who regarded it with favor, but the unquestionable su- perority in toughness and durability of the dark tread makes the matter of color negligible factor when consider ed in connection with the subject of the real merits of the tire.

 the commission on Belgian affairs,
 charged with Investigating the diff
 ferences between Belgium and HOl-

 ciI of the five great powers today.
 It was advised thnt the three

 These treaties are identical, except as to the signatories. Belgium and Hol- land signed one, and Holland and Bell gium each signed one with Great Brit ain, France, Austria, Russia and Prds- sia. Three of these powers have dis appeared and the treaties have become "scraps of paper" which Germany vio- lated by invading Belgium.
 The proposed revision of the treaties will restore Belgiums complete sov- eretgnty and eliminate her neutrality, which afforded no protection and now is distasteful Holland will be sum moned before ''the big five" shortly to discuss the revision of the treaties.

it is entering everybody's wardrobe.
At first, writes a fashion correspond

by those of artistic or gardening tenn
permanent or those who loved the most
advanced and different sort of thing.
The smock has undergone so many
notifications from it's first appear
ance as the typical peasant garment,
which it really is, that it is in point
of fact hardly recognizable. It's name,
too, has changed, for whereas in the
beginning it was just smock, now it
is known as the "oyerblouse," and the
chemise blouse, ande the Cossack coat.
The gardening period in our recent
lives is believed to be responsible for
the acceptance of this type of blouse.
