SOME STARTLING FACTS
ABOUT AUTO TIRES

Recently the Goodyear Tire & Rub
Der company manufactured its 30
coo. OO0th tire. This record was es-
tabIished in % years Of business, but
$4,000. 900 of these tires were made
in the last five years, during which
the greatest increase in car registra-
ton has occurred and which has seen
the greatest period Of expansion for
the company.
The average person has 40 idea
of how great this total is. Admitting
that each tire was run 5000 miles
before wearing iout-a very low ave-
rage-it would take an automobile
1850, AGA years to travel a distance
equal to the III, 600. 900. 600 miles de-
nvered by these $4,000, 900 tires, pro-
vided that the car ran $50 miles a day.
Based on the low average OF g.
600 miles to each tire, the total mile
age delivered by the total Goodyear
output in p years would equal to a
distance equivalent t o 100000 round
trips betweet the earth and the moon.
And-but what's the use-its enough
tires to more than equip every motor
vehicle in the United States with 4
complete set.

BRITISH NOTICE
A Continuance Of Trouble
Such as Has Occurred in
Upper Silesia Will Result
Fatally to the Peace of Eu-
rope, Should Be Dealt With
With Stern Justice.

London, May 13.-Prime Minister
ment in the House of Commons con-
corning the upper Silesia embroglio
characterized the action Of the Pol
ish Insurgents as complete defiance.
81 think it is right 1 should speak
plainly, Mr.. Lloyd George declared"
because if these things can happen
and we take no notice and do not
deal with them with stern justice
which has characterized the British
nation it is going to be fatal to the
peace of Europe. If that is disturbed
1 do not see what will happen.
"I am alarmed. 1 am frightened
that unless some confidence is re-
stored to the world the consequences
may be of the most terrible character
because the whole industrial world is
built upon credit and confidence and
see how it can be rebuilt. 1t is there
fore essential in the interest of the
nation whatever our injustices wheth
er we like this man or dislike the
other we must recognize justice has
nothing to do with likes or dislikes
and we must decide to cling to the
pact we ourselves have signed
Mr.. Lloyd George declared the
treaty of Versailles was the charter
of Polish freedom and she was the
last country of Europe that had a
right to disregard that treaty.
Poland did not win her liberty
Her liberty was due to Great Brit
ain and France. There is not letter
of the treaty that does not mean a
young British life, that does not
mean two French lives and thou
sands of Italian lives.
Mr.. Lloyd George cites that the
Poles were divided in the war half
of them fighting with the Germans.

KIWANIS

The Kiwanis Club had a very in
teresting meeting last night which
followed Immediately upon a most
excellent barbecue supper.
President Lucas, evidently upon
the theory that variety is the spice
of life, although as matter of
fact no one can handle a meeting
with more pep and skill than he,
placed Kiwanian Albert Oettinger
in charge of the meetings. Albert
assumed control and directed the
session with ability.
There were numerous guests
present and these were happily intro
duced to the Club, but owing to the
fact that the Good Roads Meeting
was to take place at eight and Mr.
Cameron, one of the guests of the
club, was to be the principal speak
er at that meeting, the usual
speeches were dispensed with.
Delegates were elected to the Con-
vention of Kiwanis to be held in
Cleveland in June. w. A. Lucas and
Arthur Rufijn were elected as the
| two delegates from this club and
Johnson King, John Elmendorf and
Sol Norick were elected as a1ternates
The talk of the evening was made
by Sam Leonard when he was called
upon to explain in detail to the club
his duties as Commissioner of Pub
lie Welfare.
The silent boost of the evening, an
attractive little booklet with the ii
tie of ''Thank You,' was given By
Jimmy Spiers.
The attendance prize donated by
Selby Anderson was drawn by
George Starr, which met with the
approval Of the entire club since Hi
wanian Starr had decorated each
member present with flowers for his
