BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

One outstanding trait in the big
man is self-confidence. He believes
in himself. He takes the attitude
taht he can do anything that he sets
out to do. He has not only faith, but
courage. He wastes no time thinking
what others will say, or listening to
the doubts and fears of the timid
ones. He sets mark for himself and
never doubts his ability to reach it.
ANY man who wishes to succeed must

begin by believing thoroughly in him.
ielf. lie cannot expect others to believe
in him unless he believes in himself
The world is very apt to accept him
at his own valuation. Self-confidenct
begets confidence in others. This
means opportunity. Given the OPP
portunity, man has the chance te
r I've himself But he never will
have that chance unless he believes il
himself.

The greatest danger that befalls a

The greatest danger that befalls a
tire in service is under-infiation,
say the makers of Hartford tires.
Proper imitation is to the life of a
pneumatic tire what proper food is
to the life of a living being. Eighty
per cent of the failures in tires can
be traved to under-infiation
Briefly, the results of under-infla-
tion are early separation in all parts
of the tire, rim cutting, abnormal de-
velopment of frictional heat, greater
power and fuel consumption, ruptur-
ing of the fabric, splitting of tread,
and abnormal strai nthroughout the

When picture fans read the title
of t'The He'll Diggers,' Wallace
Reid's new Paramount picture,
which comes to the Wilson theatre
next Monday they will doubtless
wonder what it means. The title of
the picture refers to the enormous
gold dredges used in tn great gold
mining districts of California and
elsewhere. This is the first time, so
far as can be learned, that they have
been feature din picture. Mr.. Nor
gan, the author, made an intensive
study of gold dredging and knows
his subject thoroughly. He also
wrote the scenario for the picture 1t

The strange discovery
of Sir James Dewar
and its remarkable new development
The last step in pertecting the invention of
famous Scottish scientist-an aH-steeI
Uacunm bottle that 4yiU not break

TORTY-EIGHT years ago a famous Scot
H. tish scientist. Sir James Dewar, made
curious discovery. He found that by blow
ing" one glass bottle within another and then
creating vacuum between them, he could keep
liquids in the inner bottle hot or cold for hours
at time.
After many experiments he produced bottle
OF remarkable efficiency but it was so delicate
that it had no practical value except for abora-
tory use. 1t was kept suspended by the neck
to avoid breaking.
From that day to our own, attempts have
been made to construct an unbreakable vacuum
bottle. So great have been the difficulties in
the way of this, however, that scientists long
believed it impossible.
An american inventor solves the problem
In 1915 William Stanley finally solved the
problem. He discovered a process by which
vacuum bottle could be made entirely of
steel-a bottle that will not break.
Because it is built entirely of steel, because
IT is lined with blue Analite-a mineral coat
ing fused into the steel itself the Stanley
Bottle can never be out of repair. You can
drop 1t on country road or on the hardest CITY
paVement-no fall or blow can break it. The
expense and inconvenience of refills are thus
eliminated The first COST is the last cost
