Every Tire Signed

We insist that Millers must be
uniform. Each tire is signed. A
record is kept OF the maker, the in
spector and the process.
II tire comes back for adjust
ment we learn the reason. II the
workman is at fault he is penalized.
II the inspector overlooked flaw
he is held responsible, II any proc

After years OF this checking we've
attained uniform tires. There are

Tire Prices
Some False Ideas About Them

Should an extra pyies buy dn extra
grade hyeP
1t should not. Any frst-grade
tire should be built as we'll as tire
of that type can be built.
Cord Tires cost more than Fab
RIGS, and are worth the extra price.
Men who figure cost per mile are
coming to Cord Tires.
But any tire. Cord or Fabric,
should be built for the utmost SER
vice which that type can give.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1920-09-09
We Insist on This

There are three requirements
which Miller Tires must meet.
First, they must average greater
mileage, type for type, than any
rival tire.
We constantly prove this. Eight
machines in our factory run two
tires each under rear-tire conditions.
Each tire is run $50 miles daily by
running extra-fast.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1920-09-09
Treads Must Endure

Miller Treads, by our standard.
must outwear the balance OF the tire.
We have attained a tread which
outwears rivals by rs per cent.
Every day our tread stock is vul-
canized, then tested, in our labora-
tory. We permit no variation.
Not a single Miller Tire with
these new-grade treads has ever
come back with the tread gone.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1920-09-09
Not 10000 Miles

Countless reports come to us on
Miller Cord Tires showing 10000 to
$4,000 miles OF service, And tales
of that kind are told everywhere. we
learn.
But mileage depends on condi-
tions - on size, care, load and road.
Millers are uniform, but they are
not used under uniform conditions.
In our factory tests we average
$4,000 miles on Cords.
But Miller Tire will outlast-
almost always any tire that you
place opposite, no matter what il
costs. Compare them under like
conditions, and So what mileage
modern tires can give
You will gain a r,y criterion.
When you buy a re-. car insist
on Miller Tires. Twenty car makers
now supply them and ,,,cre is no
extra charge.

STATE DIRECTORY IS
 A THING OF THE PAST
Telephone Company Will Print Congressional
 District Names

The Southern New England Tele- phone Go. will no longer issue 0l- rectory covering the state, but will save paper by printing as many kinds of directories as there are congress sional districts in Connections. The announcement of the company re- garding it's forthcoming five-voluhne work follows:
 The summer issue of the Connec- appear in July, will be a real econo- my issue. More than 100 tons of newsprint paper, of which there is such a severe shortage, will be saved on this issue alone. Furthermore, the telephone directory will be small CT in size, lighter in weight and, in consequence, will be more conven- tent to handle.
 Strictly speaking, the next tele- phone directory will not be a Con necticut" directory. The current and all past issues carried the listings of every telephone in the state. Tele- phone subscribers in New Haven, for instance, were given a book con- taining the listings in exchanges in every part of the state, for most of which the subscribers seldom, if ever, had any use.
 The forthcoming directory will be in five parts, one for each of the dis tricts into which the state is divided by the telephone company for busi- ness reasons. Thus the subscribers in each of the 12 exchanges in New Haven district will receive a New Haven district book; all the sub scribers in each of the 14 exchanges in the Hartford district will receive a Hartford district book, and so on.
 This departure from the long es- tablished custom is forced, in large degree, by the shortage of news print, but it is felt that the reduced size and weight of the book will be received favorably by the telephone using public.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Editor Conn. Western News:
 As I understand it, the purpose of the Community Service Association in Canaan is to safeguard the well fare of the young people of the place. They have endeavored to give them plenty of amusement of a wholesome sort and see that all dances are properly managed. That is all very we'll. But is the Com munity Service Association aware that very few dances are over before 1 a. m. and that every light in the streets of Canaan goes out at pre- cisely 12:3O a. m., and occasionally even earlier? Should not the Association consider it part of their self imposed duty to see that the lights are kept on all night, as they are in smaller places than Canaan? AS one of the interested parties I should like to call the at tention of the Community Service Association to this extremely im- portant fact.

many instances harm the benefci- aries more than it would aid them," the Connecticut Chamber of Com merce has adopted a resolution "op- posed to any grant of public funds to ex-service men which is not graduated according to the individ- ual needs and disabilities of its re- cpients." The following is copy of the resolution:-
 Resolved, that the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce demands the prompt enforcement and expeditions and businesslike administration of af1 laws which have been passed to provide for those members of the American forces on land and sea who suffered disabilities in the World War, and the dependents of those who died in the service, and strongly urges such supplementary legislation as may be necessary to pay in such cases the full measure of the debt Of a just and grateful people.
 Resolved, that service to ones country by male citizens in time of war is a patriotic duty inherent in the relationship between the individ- ual and the State and indispensable to the preservation of organized government, and any attempt to measure the value of such service in terms of money is subversive of the fundamental principles of citizenship and impossible in practice.
 Resolved, that because it is tEus contradictory to the underlying principles of citizenship, and !ecause the economic conditions of the country and the world arc such that further drafts upon public resources might menace our financial and in- dustrial stability and in many in stnces harm the benefciaries more than it would aid them, the Con- necticut Chamber of Commerce is opposed to any grant of public funds to ex-service men which is net graduated according to the individ. ual needs and disabilities of It's re- cipients.

STATE ROAD WORK
Highway Department Unable to
 Procure Materials for Work

"Not even during the war was the state highway department so badly handicapped by reason of its inabil- ity to procure materials or the main tenance of the highways of the state as it is at present." is the opinion of Highway Commissioner Charles J. Bennett.
 Commissioner Bennett said it was impossible to keep improved roads in repair and they would soon be un- fit for travel unless relief in rail road transportation came soon. The result will be seen in the hindrance to motor truck traffic if not its en- tire discontinuance, as it will be im- possible to operate trucks over roads out of repair.
