Continuance of the case until

STAY EUROPEANS

fires were started and in one district
it was reported several persons were
burned alive.
Mobs during the night smashed
windows for hours and this morning
all business establishments are closed.
Before the arrival Of the soldiers
early today, Europeans had gathered
at the government offices demanding
protection or permission to protect
thmselves. They greeted the troops
with great enthusiasm.
The immediate cause of today's riot
ing in Alexandria, to which the disor-
ders in Cairo were a preliminary, was
explained in official circles here as
having its basis in the fact that none
of the Egyptian Nationalists were
chosen on the official delegation COM
ing to London to discuss the future of
Egypt.
The premier had refused to appoint
the Nationalist leader. Pasha Zagloul,
or any of his supporters as members
of the delegation which now is on its
way to England. While Zagloul did
not participate in the disturbances.
it was asserted in these circles that
he was active in stirring up dissatis-
faction among the people and was
attempting to defeat the program of
ABLY Yeghen Pasha, the Egyptian
premier, by violence.

SilvertOWns Are
Included in Drop

Motorists will all be glad to know
that the famous Siivertown cord an
ti-skid, safety tread tires are includ-
cd in the recent 200 price reduction
which brought tire prices back to
pre- war basis. Among tires SILVER
town is the name that instantly con-
veys the thought of the highest quail
ity Motor car manufacturers and
dealers are quick to emphasize TO
their prospects that their cars are
equipped with SilvertoWnS knowing
that neither explanation nor argu-
mont is necessary.
This reduction brings Goodrich
prices to point l5Ct below the pre-
war schedules. as represented by the
1913 level. 1t is rather startling to
find that in 1910 tire prices were
115rt higher than the Goodrich prices
today.
Mr.. Herbert Hoover. Secretary of
Commerce, has recently suggested
that when price reductions are made
present prices should be shown, COM
pared with the prices on same arti-
Gle one year ago. In the case Of Good
rich this would show that last No
Vember tires were reduced abou $50
and on May End Goodrich reduced
prices on every size and style of their
tires including Silyertown 200.
A tangible expression of the great
or mileage service now being built
into tires is reflected by the higher
basis of adjustment generally used
by the leading companies. Thus, If a
tire proves defective today it is adj
justed under the Goodrich plan, on
the basis of 5000 miles if it is a Fab
rio, and 5000 miles if it is of Cord
construction. Contrast this with the
adjustment basis in use a few years
ago, /. e., $500 miles, and it is easy to
comprehend the great progress made
in tire manufacture.
1t is not far fetched conclusion tn
say that tires today give from 50c5 to
lOOGo greater mileage than they did a
few years ago. Therefore. if the tire
companies were selling mileage to-
day at the 1915 price level tires
would actually cost from $500 to
1880 more than at present. The con-
cinsion is obvious. therefore, that
based on comparative service tires
cost less today than ever before

BELFAST

Aside from the damage done fruit
and shade trees which is consider
able, and the carrying away of few
roofs of small buildings. including
the grandstand at the Congress
stables at the New Belfast fair
grounds, Belfast suffered very little
from the tornado which played such
havoc in Searsport only six miles
away. Belfast people, awoke with
thankful hearts Monday morning
realizing that they had been spared
much suffering and financial loss and
with deep regret for their neighbor,
Searsport, where the loss reaches
into the thousands and many lives
were in danger. Many from Bel
fast motored to the scene of the dis
aster and several physicians went to
the assistance of the injured. The
dust from the city was carried sew
eral miles out across the bay, COM
pletely shutting out all view of the
opposite shore. Reports from Norths
port and Islesboro state that no
damage to speak of was sustained in
those places.
Late in the afternoon considerable
anxiety was felt in Belfast for Buzz"
Fletcher, who with his wife and
children was known to be out on the
bay in small boat. When the wind
died out Captain William Decrow
went in search of them and found
that the boat had been driven on the
rocks near Searsport but fortunately
had not capsized and the occupants
were safe. They were brought home
by Capt. Decrow.
Some of the beautiful shade trees
In the city were destroyed and the
fruit trees have suffered severely by

scientious official doing his best to
