FAMOUS COMEDIAN RIDES
ON AUTOGRAPHED TIRES

TIE happy originality of Fred
Stone, the famous comedian, is car
ried even beyond his work on the
stage. Some time ago, during a visit
at the plant of the Pennsylvania Rub
Der company, at, Jeanette, makers
of the famous Vacuum Cup tires,
he conceived the idea of having set
of these tires made bearing his auto
graph worked in rubber on the sides.
His idea was so innovative, that Cen
eral Manager, Seneca G. Lewis, imme-
diately set his experts to work on 1t,
with the result that such tires were
successfully evolved On sthe Vac
uum Cup cord tires which he recently
purchased, the jet black tread and
sidewaIl make the inimitabe sigma
ture of the comedian, IN bright red
rubber stand out in striking relief.
The tires, while designed primarily
as a personal touch, prove even more.
The name cannot be destroyed with
out mutilating the tire to consider
able extent, and thus proves an eff
fective safeguard against theft.
Mr.. Stone has been user of
Vacuum Cup tires for a number of
years, and so enthusiastic has been his
advocacy of their goodness and
wearing qualities, that many promi-
nent personages of his profession
have, upon his recommendation, given
them a trial, to their unyarying sat
isfaction.

NO END TO AUTO
SHORTAGE SEEN BY
DISTRIBUTOR ELKIMS|

Some Startling figures regarding the
automobile shortage were given out by
B. B. EIkins, the Essex distributor, III
response to many questions received
from motorists as to When the pres
ent famine will end.
THE impression is widespread, ne
declared, that tremendous numbers
of new cars have been put into serV-
ice this year. This is not JUSTIFIED by
the facts. Figures show decided de-
crease in the consumption of gasoline
indicating that there are actually rev.
err cars in service today than there
were this time last year
AT first this seems unbelleVa ple'
but it is necessary to remember mat
the normal scrappage OF cars amounts
approximately to 25O,000 a year, That
production last year was the smallest
since 1915 and that the output so far
this year has been below normal due
to the necessarily slow recovery from
war conditions. Every dealer knows
that while production has been IN
creasing constantly, the demand mas
grown faster than the output.
And this condition is apt to last
indefinitely because more people are
coming into the market every day for
cars, due to the unprecedented ana
growing prosperity in all sections OF
the country There is no end in sight.
Wages are higher than ever before.
Prices of all commodities are going
up constantly. Farm-products are set
ting q new high record. This means
that more people than ever before are
in the market for cars.
Government figures show that In
January. 1919, there was a shortage
of approximately 100000 automobiles
in the country In 1918 the total pro
duction was 1,044,554 as against
1,737,151 the previous year. In 1915
the production was 1,49S GIL so last
years business was the smallest since
1915. If there had been no production
at all this year then the production
would have been increased by the
scrappage, or by $685. cars, or a to
tai Of nearly million automobiles t.

JAPANES LABOR
MUST GET BETTER
WAGES, SAYS JAP
Common Workers Get About
Ten Cents An Hour and
Skilled Labor Receives
Thirty Cents,
icy MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wratl


New York, July 26.-unrest among
the labor elements of Japan has
reached a stage demanding govern
ment efforts to settle the situation, ac-
cording to a statement issued by d.
Sakai, of Toxic, before he sailed today
on the liner Royal George to study la
Dor conditions in Europe for his gov
eminent.
Mr.. Sakai who has been secretary
of a Japanese society on the Pacific
coast, said that agitators have created
such dissension among the working
classes in Japan that the government
recognizes the necessity of a labor
wage near an equality with the work
ing men of other countries.
The average laborer of Japan, he
said is paid about 10 cents an hour
while skilled workmen receive about
30 cents an hour. They work four
teen hours a day, he added.
Mr. Sakai also discussed the plans
of the japanese government looking
toward an extension of their merchant
marine, saying that they embraced ad-
ditions to the one line of Japanese
steamers operating between the orient
and Europe.

which must be added the normal m
crease in the number of buyers.
Normally the output which repre-
sents the demand increases at the rate
of 40 per cent q year. So that to sat
isfy both the shortage and the new
demand the output this year would
have had to have been about 3,000,-
coo. As a matter of fact it probably
will be less than half this figure, ac-
cording to present Indications. This
means that despite the increase in pro-
duction, the shortage will continue
all this winter and most of next year
before there can be the slightest indi-
cation of a slackenng in the demand.

Nevertheless production has increased

Thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vieor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
Sists as bitro-phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
Transformation in the appearance; the irI-
crease in weight frequently being aSt3n-
ishing.
Increase in weight also carries with II
q general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
IS unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
kleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
khould not, owing to its tendency to in
krease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.
