The star-progress. (Opelousas, La.) 1917-1921, 1920-09-29
Why Mileage Varies

"A Cord Tire gives vastly greater
service than Fabric Tire.
An oversize tire will vastly excel
a tire that is undersize. Care, load
and roads affect tire service greatly.
Millers are uniform tires. That is
a major reason for their supremacy.
But uniform tires will vary with
conditions.

What Our Tests Show

We run tires at our factory ten million
miles year to make these service tests.
These are radical tests Tires are run con-
stantly, night and day, and under heavy load.
We want quick comparisons.

AUSTRALIAN WOOL
SOLD At EXCESSIVE
RATES IN ENGLAND

London, March Sit is estimated
by some wooden spinners that the
British government made $4,000, ,0o0
pounds from the sales OF Australian
wool last year and thus far in 1920.
Replying to charges that both the
government and the Yorkshire spin
ners had made excessive profits, Sir
Arthur Goldfinch chairman OF the
Wool Council of the Ministry of NUM-
tions told a representative of the
Evening Standard that it was true the
government was reselling merino and
cross-bred wool from Australia and
New Zealand at price very much
higher" than the basic price at which
II was purchased.
1T was clearly understood" he
said, that when the wool was no
longer needed for military purposes
it should be sold at market rates and
the dominions should receive one
half of the profit. Australia and New
Zealand are clearly entitled to this.
''The rise in wool is confined to the
more expensive qualities merino and

Children Find 1t
Difficult To Gipe
Evidence In Case

During divorce proceedings replete

counter charges. the two Shockley
children, Bess 10 and Linn 10, are
the bright characters in the battled
review OF the marital relations of
their parents, Edna Shockley and T.

The case was heard Monday and
Tuesday by Judge Percy R. Kelly in

.Shockley's claims for divorce are bas-
ed upon charges that her husband
assaulted her upon sundry occasions,
that he had imposed upon their con-
nubial state and that he was inter-
ested in other women. Shockley, who
is a Silyerton barber, testified that he
lead an exemplary life, denied chat
he had ever lifted a hand against
Mrs. Shockley'' or had ever depart
ed from the straight and narrow way
As a counter charge he stated that
Mrs. Shockley attempted to secure
money from him in many ways.
In efforts to support their various
attorneys for both par
ties introduced the two children as
witnesses Attorneys for Shockley at

tie Bess that her mother had influenc
