Los ANGELES TIRE
REPAIRING SCHOOL
ATTRACTS HUNDREDS
Vulcanizer of Today Is Like a
Physician; He Must Keep
Up to Date.

The school Of tire repairing con-
Quoted at the Goodyear Tire 4 Rubber
Go. Of California at the Los Angeles
factory is meeting with great deal
of favor among the vulcanizers of the
entire western territory.
Already more than 100 students,
representing virtually every section Of
the west as well as the Hawaiian is
lands, have completed the three weeks
course of instruction and gone back
to their respective localities with
thorough knowledge Of the most mod
ern and approved methods Of tire re-
pairing.
J. r. Wells. manager Of accessories
and repair material sales at the Good
year factory, in commenting on the
work which the school is doing. says:
During the last few years the re-
pairing of pneumatic tires has develop
ed into business of tremendous inn
portance and proportions and today
1t has become firmly established. The
repair man who is well versed in the
ever changing method of vulcanizing
and the constantly improved materials
which are now on the market, has be-
fore him q field Of unusual money
making opportunities.
He is in a position to give val
uaDle assistance to car owners who
desire to give increased attention to
the care and conservation of their
tires; he is in position to show them
how road troubles can be minimized
by precautionary measures; how the
inbuilt mileage can be preserved by
repairs made from time to time. and
how tires that otherwise would fail
because of some fault can be made to
give thousands Of miles more service.
up to a few years ago divers
methods Of vulcanizing and tire repair
ing were employed. many Of them ex-
ceedingly poor because Of the fact
that there had never been any set
standard of correct methods to be
used, and it is only recently that
schools such as the Goodyear repair

excellent courses in this profession.
The vulcanizer of today is in much
the same position as the teacher. the

man. He must be familiar with the
changing and improved methods in or

And to become familiar with these new

WHO OWNS ISLE? ?
Gen ot the Pacific Is Without a
 Proprietor. !
EngIlshman Originally Leased 1t From the British Government, and 1t Is
 We'll Worth Having.

Palmerston island Gin south Pacific, between Society islands and Samoal was a welcome sight, as welcome as 1t was unique. It is doubtful If such another gem adorns the earth. Neither atoll nor island. it is perfect comhi- nation of both. a natural necklace of surf pounded coral strung with six. equi-distant verdant islets, the whole tnclosing shallow lagoon slashed with unbelievable color.
 7 Such was Palmerston as we ap- preached 1t before -stiff southeast trade" to be welcomed by a fleet of amazingly fast luggers and their as- tonished crews, Ralph Stock writes in the National Geographic Magazine. "Who were we? Where had we sprung from2 Had we any matches%
 To our astonishment, the questions were fired at us In English and, what was more, English of vaguely famil- far pattern. It Is strange thing to hear ones own tongue f1uently ban died among brown-skinned people on an Isolated speck of earth in mid Pacific.
 1 have Palmerston island securely pigeonholed in my mind as the spot of all others in which, when the time comes, to sit down and wait for the end.
 The outside world, in the shape of a schooner from the Cook group, in- trudes itself but once a year. The la- goon and its neighboring islets are a mine of interest to the naturalist or sportsman, and the people have sim pie charm, that is all their own.
 Many years ago one John Masters leased Palmerston island from the British government, and, not believing in half-measures, took unto himself three native wives. By each he had a large and healthy family. which he reared in strict accordance with his own standards of social usage. That they were sound standards Is evil denced in the people of Palmerston today. They read. write and speak English; this last with an accent vaguely reminiscent of the southwest of England. They are courteous, hos pitable and honest to a degree nOth- ing short of startling, these days, and, although naturally inbred, they do not show it, either mentally or phys ically.
 One thing alone troubles the John Masters of today. To whom do he and his island belong? The war has changed all things. The Cook group of which Palmerston has been de- clared far-hung unit, is administered by New Zealand. Is Masters to be taxed, governed and generally har- ried by a people who hardly existed when his father took over Palmerston? |? It looks like it.

PROVIDE BATH FOR POULTRY
Chickens Cleanse Themselves by Wal lowing In Soil and Dust Box
 Should Be Accessible.

Chickens never wash, as many other birds do, but cleanse themselves by wallowing in soil. Where board Cr cement floors are used in the chicken house, some means for dusting should be provided during the winter months, Say poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. For a flock of 50 to 60 fowls a dust box 3 by | feet or by feet will generally be found large enough, and should be placed where it can be reached by sum- light during as much of the day as possible.
 Fine, light, dry dust Is the best kind With which to fill the box, but sandy loan ic good. Road dust Is recom- Hended by many. but 1t is apt to be filthy. Coal or wood ashes may be mixed with the soil If desired.

A PROCLAMATION
By Governor Lake, Designating June
 IA as Flag Day

In compliance with an act of the General Assembly hereby designate Tuesday, the fourteenth day of June of the present year, being the one hundred and forty-fourth anniver- sary of the adoption by Congress of the flag of the United States as Flag Day and direct that all who are en- gagged in training the youth of this State for intelligent citizenship and in promoting activities which make for a broader and saner patriotism, either in>the schools or through any society or organization, plan suitable exercises for impressing upon the minds of those who come under their influence the benefits and privileges which they enjoy under the Ameri- can flag, and the obligation which rests upon them to perpetuate the ideals and institutions of which it is the symbol. The American flag stands for freedom and for truth. It represents government which guarantees equal rights to all. It means justice. 1t means liberty. It means happiness. Our flag signifies liberty through law, and laws for liberty. "No man can stand beneath it's folds without becoming and re- maining free" II ask also that the people of the State join upon that day in it's general display and thus show their honor and respect for the flag and their loyalty to the prin- ciples for which it stands.
 Given under my hand and the seal of the State at the Capitol, in Hart ford, this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thou sand, nine hundred and twenty-one, and of the independence of the Uni ted States, the one hundred and forty-ffth.

FESTIVAL OF MUSIC
 OPENS AT NORFOLK
Dress Rehearsal of Chorus and Soloists Tuesday
 Evening

The annual festival of the Litch- field County Choral Union was off cially opened . Tuesday with the semi-public dress rehearsal of the entire chorus and orchestra with soloists. Arthur Mees, as usual, con- ducted, and the rehearsal showed that the five choruses which make up the union, have made the regular in crease in precision and finesse, which marks the work of each succeeding year.
 The soloists this year are George Hamlin, tenor; Florence Hinkel, .so- prano; Merle Alcock, contralto, and Clarence Whitehill, bass. All of these sang at Norfolk last year, with the exception of MT. Hamlin, who, how ever, is no stranger to Norfolk. The endeavor has been to assemble the finest quartet for ,oratorio work which could be found in America, and in this four it can really be felt that this result has been achieved. All have voices of sufficient power to carry the burden against the i'm mense chorus, and all have the lit erary knowledge which the highest type of oratorio singer requires.
 The whole evening was devoted to "Elijah". In the afternoon, there was an orchestral rehearsal of John PowelPs new overture, "In Old Vir- ginia", which is to be presented on Thursday evening. MT. PowelPs work, which has only been completed within two weeks, proved to be deli cate and graceful composition, made up on typical themes, suggestions o1 old Southern melodies occurring ano recurring throughout.
 Most of the principal guests have arrived in Norfolk and attended the evening rehearsal. A problem new in musical history has presented it. self this year in the form of mos uuitoes, who are themselves no near musicians. Norfolk, like all other summer resorts, boasts that it lE entirely free from mosquitoes, but the blunt truth is that mosquitos II crowds arrived here in March anc have been here ever since. The mu sic shed is practically an open build ing and Tuesday night the mosqultoS came in through doors and window; entirely uninvited, and all hints that they leave were unheeded. Whether they will be a menace with the hal packed remains to be seen.

 Now that suitable hitching places have been provided by the Business Mems Association for the horse drawn vehicles, why don't we try to find parking place for the auto. mobiles, to relieve the congestion on Railroad Street which is getting so serious? Why not use the roadway on the south side of our Central Park for an advertised parking place, and erect suitable signs inviting the autoists to park, facing out or on a 45 degree angle, as they do in other busy towns?
 Yours very truly,
