RUBBER TIRES IN
 THE STONE AGE?
Arkansas Man Discovers Rock With Imprint of Diamond Shaped Buttons
rhA,r.rA all urnnr

They're all wrong.
 Hobby historians and archae-
 oloeists of the Rube Goldberg type
 who have written weighty tones about
 the life. customs and handicraft of
 tha paieolfthic and neolithic ages must have been fakers Vehicles in the Chellean age travelled on rubber tires produced by our an cestors 4,0oo,000 years ago. Yep-that's the belief expressed by F H. Daniels of Mena, Ark, in 3 let ter to the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company-and he backs up his belief by photographic proof.
 Here's the story:
 While occupied in his duties as chair man of an improvement district Of the Mena Waterworks. MT. Daniels picked up on the outskirts of the town a 2O-pound stone that distinctly shows the Imprint of what seems to Dc an all-weather tread tire. The diamond shaped rubber buttons are cut Into the stone unmistakably.
 FOUR MILLION YEARS | What puzzles the westerner Is how the print got there--expert mining engineers asserting that the stone IS of a formation of 1000, 000 years ago Conseouently he has written the com pany asking just when 1t started the manufacture of these tires and request 1 ing a solution of the puzzle The company has done considerable lpfoneering in the tire manufacture 1 but is surprised at evidence tending to show that its famous tread was in existence on vehicles of the stone age. It is skeptical-but there Is the pno- tographic proof. ., It being within the memory of all how old Dobbin shied in terror at the first automobiles, MT. Daniels Is al most afraid to reconstruct the scene l in early days 100000 years ago. Think of the fright of the dimorphodons. first winged vertebrates at sight of pneu- matic equipped Dinosaurless Six, driven l by Paleolithic Pete, rumbling along 1 Main street
