Automobile Has NO Substitute
 Say Tire Mfrs.

Indications point to the fact that America is about to undertake the greatest building program the country has ever known. The immediate plans call for railroad improvements, new highways. homes, hotels, hospitals. bridges, sewer and water extensions. The requirements for these exceed ten billion dollars in value
 This vast building program assures prosperity. Raw materials will be re- quired and men employed to build and repair.
 One hundred million people are consuming and wearing out needed ar ticles faster than they are now pro- duccd Production of practically all merchandise has been at reduced vol umc for three to five months. It is possible we will face Q similar short oee to that which came in the spring of 1919
 A million automobiles is the normal requirement. for replacements to fill the gaps left by worn out cars. No one who has owned an automobile will long endure without one. Without the au- tomobile, industry would stop and transportation be paralyzed. Distances between town and country, between producer and consumer, could not be covered. Living costs would rise and land values would fall
 The new need is for transportation and in the part it plays, the automobile has no substitute, according to officials of the Miller Rubber company.
 The slogan for 1921 should be See Americas future in the light Of her needs" There is Q demand for nearly every article. America has not over built or overreached her requirements in any fundamental essential ac- tivity

Yoy may be interested to know that research institutions are studying locomotOr ataXia; in fact, have been studying the disease for years It is now generally accepted that the disease is practically always of syphi- litic origin, and that attention must be concentrated on prevention, inasmuch as the cure of the condition, once it has developed, is apparently not pos sible.
