A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL

To the readers Of the Chronicle and
to those not so fortunate, we wish
to extend our heartiest Merry Christ
mas" Tho It would hardly seem
necessary, permit US, please, to call
attention to Christmas being a time
when we should all be merry. We
are celebrating the birth OF Christ
who came into and to save world
sunken in sin and wretched because
. of the hopelessness of it's condition
The angels sang at the time of His
coming, peace on earth, good will
to men," which should certainly be
every mans slogan at Christmas time
il at no other time.
Many of US have been bereaved
during the past year and possibly
are inclined to feei saddfned
as the day approaches and yet
our loved ones are joining in a won
derful celebration in Heaven which
would make any making merry, we
might do, fade into insignifcance.
Christ's earthly birthday must be
a wonderful time of rejoicing in
Heaven because it meant so much for
mortals who have gone there.
Numbers Of US have been blessed
during the year with health and more
than one happiness and upon us rests
a duty to show our appreciation by
making happy "One of the least OF
these" people, our neighbors.
Let's give Christ wonderful birth
day present by doing something to
make the needy happy.
And all Of us can do our bit with
a smile and merry Christmas. Don't
wait for the other fellow to do it, you
do it first. It will help make a rea,
merry Christmas.

ASKED TO
STOP BALKAN WAR.
League Request is Addressed
to England, France and Italy
FAVORABLE TO ALBANIA
Three New Nations Admitted To Body
Brings Total Membership To
Fifty-one-Test OF
Article x.

Geneva.-Im Intervention by
the Allies to prevent the Serbo-Al-
bantam dispute from flaming into new
Balkan war was asked in note ad-
dressed to the powers of England,
France and Italy by the council of the
League of Nations.
A Serbian. force, disguised as Al
bantam mountaineers, has begun an in
vasion of Albania, according to a tele-
gram circulated here by the Albanian
delegation for benefit of delegates to
the League meeting.
The Albanian militia is opposing
with heroic resistance the attacks of
the statement "The Serbian army in
the Drin Valley" said the statement.
"The Serbian forces bon,barded this
valley for long time, forcing the Al
banians to flee from this sector.
The threatened confagration in Mid
die Europe's powder box, where the
slightest flare can start another of the
interminable Balkan wars, may be
averted by the councils action, but the
League itself has been split into two
factions by the introduction of the dis
pute between Albania and Jugo-Slavia
in the assembly
The Allied members of the League
Council, moreover, are lined up against
the non-Allied, temporary members.
Lastly, the Allies themselves are di.
vided into two camps over the qnes-
ton.
Albania's appeal to the League, de-
claring that Serb artillery was bonn
harding Albanian villages and demand
ing that the League intervene, was an
swered by the Serbian representative
to the assembly, who said that the bor-
ders of Albania, not having been fixed,
Serbia was only attempting to occupy
what rightfully belonged to her.
The assembly at once divided. Some
nations favored Intervention, others
leaving the matter to the big powers.
1t was the first test of the Leagues
attitude to an appeal to Article X.
England was disposed to recognize all
Albania's frontiers as fixed in 1913,
while Italy refused to consent to that
position, as there are certain islands
within those frontiers she wants for
herself.
The majority of the council favored
backing Albania's claim to the bound
aries of 1913 and, in consequence, a
note was today addressed to the pow
ers asking them to aid Albania against
Serbia
Three new nations-E sthonia, Lith-
uania and Latvia were admitted to
membership in the League of Nations.
This brings the membership of the
League to 81.

GERMAN EXPLOSION

Chemical Plant on Rhine Blows
Up Destroying Town
PROPERTY DAMAGE HEAVY
Hundreds Miles From Scene Injured
French Aid In Work OF Res
cue-Excess Gas Pressure
Cause.

Mayence, Germany.-A great explo-
sion at the chemical products plant of
the Badische Anilinfabrik Company, at
Oppau, on the Rhine, wrecked the
town and spread death and destruction
on every hand. The number of killed
is yariously estimated at from 1000
to $500 and the injured close to 1000
One report says that there were 5000
men on the spot at the moment of the
explosion and it is believed that about
half of these were killed.
The town of Oppau is scene of ut
ter desolation, more than a third of
the houses having been destroyed,
while the roofs of the others were
swept off as if by a whirlwind Here
also many were killed or injured.
The explosion is attributed by some
to excess pressure in two adjoining
gasometers, the whole of this part of
the works being literally pulverized.
Where the gasometers stood is now a
funnel-shaped hole 1870 yards wide and
As yards deep, while twisted Orders

scattered about. For a distance of
several hundred yards not wall is left
standing.
The directorate of the company is
quoted as saying that the explosion oc-
Cured in a storehouse containing 1000
tons of nitrous sulphates which had
previously been examined and was be-
lieved to be free from danger of ex-
plosion.
All the workmen's dwellings in the
vicinity were razed. At Mannheim, on
the opposite side of the river, IS per.
sons were seriously injured and 200 or
more slightly injured. Ludwigschafen
reports say that three workmen's
trains were buried under the wreckage
and many children on their way to
school in that town were injured.
Heartrending scenes were witnessed
on all sides. At the little cemetery on
the outskirts of Oppau there are al
ready more than 200 bodies laid out on
the grass. Numerous tombstones were
lifted and, hurled in various directions
by the force of the explosion. There
was not door or window left intact
fer radius of three miles.

might preserve this illustration as an
actual picture of your tire.
A more common tire injury is shown
in Illustration B. This effect is due
to faulty alignment Of the front
wheels. A bent axle or steering
knuckle may be responsible or possibly
the demountable rim was not perfectly
applied.
Accidents are not always RESPONSE
BILE for the front wheels being out of
alignment, but frequently this is the
case. All cars, through no fault in
manufacture, are subject to this con-
dition, and the first indication will be
given when you notice the tread Of
one or both tires wearing as though q
rough file had been used on them.
If the tread becomes worn through and
the fabric affected, then the tire is
beyond repair. Correct trouble quick
ly to avoid necessity of this. There
is but one remedy, and that is care
Test your front wheels Frequently
and be sure that they are in proper
alignment.
Neglected Cuts.
Illustration G shows casing with
two-thirds of its life wasted, for
neglected cuts in the tough rubber
tread have caused it to blister. In
this instance sand and dirt have been
forced into the cuts and worked
around under the tread. Note the
several large bumps where the sand
and dirt have accumulated. If tire
is carefully watched for these cuts
plastic will heal them quickly and
no damage will result.
The tire shown at D shows the effect
of skidding, caused by sudden appli-
cation of the brakes. Part IOf it's
face has been scraped off. Purely
carelessness.

Dr.. Butler Finds Abstacles in

Dr. Butler, who has just returned
from mission to Europe, spent the
weekend at the White House giving
President Harding complete report
on the views of European statesmen
relative to the Disarmament Confer
ence.
Few Americans have a wider ac-
quaintance among statesmen in Eu-
rope than DR.. Butler He has can
vassed European opinion thoroughly
in the last two months, and it was
pointed out here that he will be a
valuable advisor to the American dele.
gaticn, whether he sits as a member or
not.
DR.. Butler is understood to have
found a general sentiment in Europe
favorable to disarmament. In govern.
mental circles there, however, he
found numerous disturbing questions
which must be faced when the nations
gather about the council table here
next November
Information obtained by DR.. Butler
in Europe indicates, he believes, three
chief difficulties which must be solved
before a general agreement to limit
ornaments can be reached. They are:
4. The desire of France for security
from land attacks, especially by Ger
many u.s.
q. The determination of the British
Empire to keep the seas open fol-
movement of her food supplies in time
of war.
3. The demand of Japan that she
have an outlet for her growing popula
ton.

REORGANIZATION
UP TO PRESIDENT
Harding Soon to Begin Work
on Economy Plan
WILL HIT THE CABINET
Creation OF Post OF Executive Secre-
tary Among Proposals.
Many Transfers
Proposed.

Washington. President Harding
soon will take up personally the task
of reorganizing Government depart
ments to bring more economy and eff
cheney into them. A complete plan,
involving abolition of some Cabinet
jobs and creation of new ones, will be
placed in his hands shortly by Walter
F. Brown, the Presidents representa-
tive on the Congressional reorganiza-
ton plan.
After the President goes over the
plans with Brown they will be laid
before the Cabinet for discussion. Aft
er revision the plan will be sent to
Congress, where alterations of more
extensive nature are anticipated.
Major proposals of Brown are said
to be:
Creation of an executive secre-
tary who will be virtually an as
sistant to the President, relieving
both the President and his secre- !.
tary of routine work.
Creation OF 2 Department of Ma
tional Defense to combine the
army and navy.
Transfer of the prohibition en-
forcement division from the Treas
ury to the Department of Justice.
Abolition of Department of La
Dor and assimilation of most of its
functions into a Department of
Public Welfare.
Many transfers of bureaus from one
department to another are proposed in
order to correct the illogical distribu-
ton which has grown up in hap
hazard way since the early days of
the Government
Brown favors combining the five or
more Secret Service bureaus main
tanned by various departments into
one general bureau of investigation,
which would be placed in the Depart
ment of Justice.
The Coast Guard would be taken
from the Treasury and placed in the
navy.
The Bureau of Fisheries, now in the
Department of Commerce, would be
split and the functions relating to
propagation of fish placed with the
Department of Agriculture and those
involving marketing allowed to re-
main with the Department of Com
merce.

We Americans have been extrava-
CANT. We have literally educated our
selves to be careless with the most
expensive, things we buy. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that the care
lessness of American motor car drivers
during 1920 cost them in round figures
$3.50 100000, and this applies only to
tires. What has been your share?
You have contributed your bit. You
must now take this tire problem seri-
ously. Get every mile out of every
tire that the manufacturer has built
into it. If you don't you are the loser
and if everybody is loser then the
tire deficit for 1921 will outrival last
year, for there are more motor car
owners today than there were year
ago.
Good Advice to Follow.
If you follow the advice given in
this article you will get more service
from your tires, and at the end of the
season your expense will have been
SO much less than it ever was before
that you will no longer neglect your
tires.
The Illustrations shown here are Of
the genuine abused tires, hundreds of
which are discarded every day through
out the United States before they
have given the service for which they
were built. The mileage was built
into each tire, but the car driver lost
1t through carelessness.
Illustration A shows the result of
improper application of tire chains.
When chains are used they should
not be applied tightly. Leave them
just loose enough so that every time
the wheel turns the cross chains will
not strike the same spot in the tire.
If you do not heed this advice you
