The Most Welcome Tire
That Ever Came to Market


In every great tire factory, the
chief question is: 'How much can
we give for the money!" And the
product depends on the policy
adopted.
Every man who has become ac-
quainted with Brunswick Tires
knows that Brunswick standards
are again evident. This famous con-
Germ NOTED as leader in every
line it entered since 1845-has once
more proved that its policy is right.
"A perfect tire is simply matter
OF knowledge and standards and
skill. No secrets nor patents pre-
vent making an ideal tire.
But standards come first. For in
tire making there is vast room for
skimping, for subtle economies, for
hidden shortcomings. Makers with
out the highest standards don't
build high-grade tires.
The Brunswick organization of
tire makers includes a brilliant staff
Of technical experts. Not a man

At the Niwolai station we found
perfect order until we got into our
wagon, an old third class wagon, in
which a certain number of places
which one of the party had reserved

no right to be there. Even this diff

that went on in different parts of the
carriage. p aloft, ! listened first to

In another part OF the carriage an

WASHINGTON, d. ca Mitchell
Palmer, the attorney general, square,
blocky, white haired, forty seven years
old and horse for work, has one de-
cided advantage over the host of COM
petitors for the presidential nominal
ton. He is in an official position
which is steadily keeping him more in
the spotlight than is any other candi-
date. While this is an advantage from
the standpoint that vital thing.
publicly. it carries with it an element
OF great danger for. in the spotlight,
any mis- step is revealed to the null
tjtude.
The recent meeting Of the Republi
can national committee in Washing ton
has called forth a large assortment of
candidates of that party They are
now in the open beating their tomtoms
each in his peculiar way attempting to
attract votes TO himself. The demo-
Gratis are TO assemble in Washington
early in January at the jackson dinner
which precedes each campaign, and all
aspirants are asked to appear and
each will be allowed to make bit of
"A speech by way of a workout. But so
far the democratic entries are limited
in number McAdoo and Palmer being
off in the lead.
The friends of these two are already
pointing with pride. The advocates OF
McAdoo are urging him as the Roose-
Welt or democracy. the man OF proven
punch and executive ability. In fact all
the candidates of both parties are
bearing down hard on this matter of
executive ability. Everybody seems to
have made up his mind that the situa-
ton requires a man of proven admin
istrative capacity.
The "a in the name of the attorney
general stands for Alexander 1t was
the name of a one time conqueror, to
be sure, and Mr.. Palmer IS Quaker
and therefore, indisposed TO the usages
of force But his friends call him
1.-THE fighting Quaker and, to indicate
the character of the man, recite, like
Othello. the adventures through which
he has passed.
The ancestors of Palmer came with
William Penn from England in 1882.
The tenacity of the strain is shown
in the fact that the faith of the
of today When the attorney general
is in the midst of his family the

constantly used. Mrs. Palmer is 4
Quaker also, and glides constantly
from one form of address to her hus-
band to another when speaking o nom

Alexander Mitchell was born in
Moosehead. Pennsylvania, which is
hard 70 find on the map, but grew up
at Stroudsburg, in the Pocono noun
tains in northeastern Pennsylvania, i
which is one of those comfortable |
towns of three or four thousands where |
everybody knows everybody else's
