Why Demand Continues to Outstrip Production

You are doubtless familiar with the situation surrounding Goodyear Tires, and our difficulty in supplying promptly the enormous demand for them.
 Possibly you yourself, in anticipation of your future requirements, have deemed it wise to place a reservation order with your Goodyear dealer. It is likely you have wondered, why, with a production enlarged beyond any previous figure, such precaution to insure getting Goodyear Tires should be necessary.
 Surely it is a strange condition, that despite such production and the in> telligent competition of the manu> lecturers of some 300 other brands of tires, Goodyear Tires should continue  to be oversold.
 The true explanation of this condi> ton concerns no other thing than the remarkably fine service Goodyear Tires everywhere deliver to users. You people who have used Goodyear Tires know by how uniformly gener> ous margin this service exceeds that commonly given by ordinary tires. .zAHAIAE x
Arizona republican., 1919-08-03

No fictitious discounts, no delusive guarantees, no expedients of any sort have been employed to stimulate artifcially the favor they normally command.
 At present we are devoting our whole energies to the problem of fulfilling as soon as possible every call for our product that may arise.
 For months past, the production of our Akron factories has approximateo 25,OOO finished tires per day, while the daily output of our Canadian plants has well exceeded 2,OOO. Work is already under way, now, for the establishment of plant in Los Angeles which will allow us several thousand tires tionaldailyvolume. These figures, representing by far the largest tire production in the world, reflect with what earnestness we are endeavoring to make Goodyear Tires easy to get everywhere. A =

PLENTY OF COAL MINED.
H. F. Peabody Says There Will Be No
Shortage Unless Transportation Fails.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-Sharp dif-
lerences of opinion on the probable coal
situation this winter We're expressed by
Director General Of Railroads Hines, and
ii. +. Peabody, icrmerly or the fuel adj
ministration, yesterday before the senate
interstate commerce subcommittee investl-
eating increases in the price of coal.
Director General Hines declared the coal
operators would lay stress on transPorta-
ton difficulties to explain the increased
coal prices, although in his opinion the
rs loads would be axle to move all the
coal necessary.
Mr. Peabody denied that unduly high
prices were being charged for coal and
said legislation calculated to alter the laws
of supply and demand would not remedy
the coal problem He added there was
no probability of coal shortage this
winter unless deliveries were held up
by shortage of cara or by labor troubles
The mines of America can supply AZ
| per cent more coal than the possible de
mands of the country, Mr.. Peabody as
serted, and the labor supply is adequate

CREDIT FOR STUDY
OF OUTSIDE MUSIC
Plans Outlined by Earl A. Braman,
Supervisor of Music in Incorporated
School District.

Earl A. Braman, supervisor of music IN
the incorporated school district, has out
lined a plan for giving credits for the
study of music outside the schools. The
plan is as follows:
The Brattleboro high and graded schools
will offer credits towards graduation for
the study of outside music and it is es-
pecially necessary that these pupils be-
gin such lessons at the beginning of the
school year.
wishing credits for outside work in the
study of piano, organ, orchestral instru-
ments or voice must make application,
approved by his parents or guardian in
writing, not later than two weeks after
the opening of school.
The course is divided into seven groups
or grades and the pupil is assigned to the
grade for which he seems best fitted
On card (duly prepared and furnished
by the SCHOOL, the music teacher should
indicate the group to which the pupil is
assigned This slip, signed by the music
teacher, should be forwarded to the super
visor of music and will constitute rec
ord.
On another card prepared and furnished
by the school the music teacher should
certify monthly that the pupil has taker
at least one music lesson a week, the
number of practice hours week, anC
should give the fullest possible estimat,
of the quality of the pupils work for th'
period covered by the report, including
a list of compositions studied by the pu
pill during the period.
The music lessons must be taken dur
| ing the entire school term for which credi
| is desired On the list or slip which i
| forwarded to the school for record tn
parents or guardian of the pupil must Ger
tify monthly that the pupil has devote'
at least five hours each week to practice
In the high school great effort will b
made to interest every pupil Not onl
will the chorus meet regularly twice eac
week, but Boys glee club, girls chorus
| high school orchestra, double quartet, an
male quartet viii soon be organized.
/ Credits will be awarded to pupils VIII
do satisfactory work in these organiza
j tions.

BOSTON SAVES S25,000
UNDER PROHIBITION
House of Correction Costs Less to Op-
erate-Main Prison to Be Closed
This Winter.

BOSTON, Sept 5.-Prohibition has al
ready saved the city of Boston nearly s25,-
600 in the cost of operating the house of
correction on Deer Island, according to
statistics prepared by Penal Institutions
Commissioner Bates, and this sum will
be returned by him to the city treasury
from his department appropriation. Part
of the saving is attributed to more eco
nomic and efficient administration of the
institution.
As result of the thinning out of the
population, the main prison. which has
been continuously occupied Tor 40 years,
will be closed this winter and the occu-
pants Will all be quartered in the new
womens prison, which was used as a
naval prison during the war. This change
will effect a saving of one-third in the
cost of fuel, according to the mayor.

Howl by Italian Press.

Rome, Sept 2-"The conclusions attrib-
uted to the interallied commission inquiry
into the Fiume incident are so enormous,
says an Italian newspaper, that they
seem impossible as coming from repre-
sentatives of governments with whom for
five years Italy has lived in the brother
hood Of arms and to whom she has given
luminous proofs of friendship. These con
clusions, if reports are true, are blows
which would be hardly comprehensive
even if the commission instead of being
from allied nations had been composed
of officials of the old Austrian empire.
