Rome. Sept. 3O.-Take Jonescu,
RUmanian foreign minister, having
concluded his conversations here
with Premier GiOlitti and Count
SfOrza. Italian foreign minister, told
me today the Little entente" aims
at keeping peace in Central Europe.
We intend that" he said, the
TrtanOn treaty signed by Hungary
shall be strictly executed. The
Magyars were hoping to upset sthe
treaty, especially its territorial
clauses The Little Entente made
this impossible as CzechoSlovakia,

I told the Hungarian represent
ative in Rome that our chief pur-
pose was to eliminate all tempta-
tions on the part Of the Magyars
TO modify by force or diplomatic
intrigue their frontiers. This Is
rendering a service not only to the
cause of peace but to Hungary her
self. 1t is perhaps unpleasant to
have to speak so harshly to the
vanqUished but il is healthier that
Hungary should know"
NJ. Jonescu has explained the Ital-
tentC" is not animated by any un-
friendly feeling towards Italy NJ.
JOnesCu is confident the Italian
trade will continue to expand in
Rumania but doubts whether Italy
should get oil from Rumania as
only half her wells are producing
fuel. while the country needs moro
oil for internal consumption. Eng
land and France who are financing
the oil industry, get what little re-
mains for export.
Poland and Greece May Join.
VI. Jonescu hopes Poland and
Greece will join the Little Entente"
so as to constitute a strong bull

Hungary.
NJ. JOnescu admits now that Po-
land is too busy with her war
against the Soviet to examine the
matter of joining the Little En-
tcnte" but hopes to convince her
later.

This, like other similar regulative
bodies in other states, was created
primarily to correct the gross evils
of favorable discriminating rates and

utilities to certain patrons to the in
jury of others. So far as the COM

such utilities operating in this state
it is admitted this evil has been
eliminated.
AS a branch Of the legislature the
commission is authorized to estab-
lish rules and regulations governing
utilities, for violation of which
severe penalties are provided. As a
quasi judicial body it has power to

not understand the technical words
found in the power company's circu-

was unjust and he wished to protest
against it. At the same time let
ter was received at the Office of the
state public service commission from
the mayor of Elma in which he
stated that "the company has found
a great light which has shown it how
to do this, a light different from the
dim illumination that the company
furnishes to the Elma citizens" He

one of the greatest steps toward bet
ter truck service that has been
known in the tire industry. Many
tire companies have afterward tried
to produce tire that would have
the same traction as the Kelly Cater
pillar, but the patented process Of
could not be surpassed.
THE tire is built up Of laminatcd
rubber, that is, layer by layer, until
it reaches it's proper thickness. 1t
can be seen that the Kelly hand
made methods of manufacture are
even employed in the manufacture Of
the solid. This building up layer BY
layer insures uniformity and an alb
sence Of flaws in the tire. This was
the difficulty encountered in molding
solids, or even pneumatics, and was
the main reason why Kellys, from
the fabric to the cord to the solid
are handmade"

HARDING PROMISES TO

Who Have Bought Up Bonds at a

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Stating that

to have these bonds refunded at a
higher rate of interest so that they
will sell at par.

give the large bondholders. who have

More than 5000 orders have been

ANOTHER INITIATIVE
MEASURE FILED
Effort to Repeal Syndicalism Law Of
1910 Started by Seattle Parties.

An initiative measure was intro
duced into the state campaign Sat
urday by the filing of the measure to
the legislature repeating the syndi-
calism act passed in 1919 under
which it has been possible to proceed
against the l. w. w. Charles Smith
of 1920 Seventh avenue, Seattle,
filed through his attorney, Mark
Litchman, also of Seattle, for the re-
peal.
This initiative requires the sigma
lures of $4,000 voters on petitions,
or 10 per cent Of the total vote for
governor in the last election. in or
der that the measure may be submit
ted to the next legislature. II the
legislature fails to act and rejects
the measures the bill will 60 to ref
erendum in the next general election
together with any alternative bill the
legislature itself may wish to submit.
Several appeals from convictions
in county courts under the syndical.
ism act are set for hearing before the
supreme court for the term commenc-
ing next week.
The present movement to repeal
the act is doubtless intended as
means of relieving I. w. w. and other
radical elements from danger o:
prosecution in the event that the SUI
|preme court upholds the law.
Proponents of the initiative repeal
have until 10 days before the meet
ing of the legislature, early in jan
uary, in which to circulate their Pc
Itition. AS this circulation is prob
ably under way now the question Of
supporting or repeating the syndical-
ism act is thus made live issue for
all legislative candidates.

Equip with Right Kind Of Tires.

Maintaining dependable truck SER
vice throughout winter and fall is
merely a matter Of equipping with
the right kind Of tires, according to
II. o. Tucker, sales manager for the
Kelly Tire Company, distributor for
the famous Kelly-Springheld tires
and tubeS.
THE truck operator with his
truck correctly shod has no need to
fear the slippery pavement nor the
muddy road" said Mr.. Tucker.
Modern manufacturing methods in
tires have enabled the truck oper.
ator to maintain the same service
during winter as he does during
summer. Take the Kelly caterpillar
cushion solid, for instance. Air
pockets on the side give it fine trac-
ton. 1t has just the same grip on
the road as he's an elephants foot.
In fact, the inventor of this cater
pillar solid got his idea from the exc
plants foot, for he found that it
gripped the muddy road or the slip
perry pavement with just as much
ease as it did the dry driveway.
1.-THE Kelly caterpillar cushion
solid is distinctive tire. These
side air pockets have proven to be
