AS Much Spent
For Tires AS
For Roads
Country's Tire Bill Is $1,000.
100000.

Some IDEA OF the CROWN anu preseh
size of the automobile tire industry
may be gained by considering the rec
ent statement of NJ. o. Eldridge, direct
or of roads of the American Automo'
bile Association.
After an examination OF recent sta
tistics, Mr.. Eldredge announced that
the country's annual tire bill is $1,000
100000. This astounding sum is paid
for about 40, 100000 tires and is about
as much as the sum annually expend'
ed on the roads of the nation.
Last year witnessed the addition OF
100000 cars to the nations total and
practically every one OF these new
owners will buy tires this year to re-
place those with which his new car
was furnished. This means marked
increase in the country's tire bill for
1921.
1t is well known that Michigan pro-
duces about GO per cent of the automo-
biles manufactured in the United States
but, curiously enough, there are only
three tire factories in this state.
A little over a year ago this situation
was turned to account by an organiza.
ton formed to manufacture new cord
tire with the first real advance in tire
design made In the last ten years. A
graduated series of corrugations,
moulded on the side wall of the tire
produce the only tire on the market
that CLIMBS OUT OF THE RUTS.
Moreover, these corrugations afford
marked additional resistance to wear
and depreciation.
The organization which developed
and is now manufacturing CORDUROY
CORDS is composed of men of high
standing in the tire field, thoroughly
conversant with the industry from the
condition in the rubber markets OF
South America to the viewpoint and
needs of the ultimate consumer. They
have guided this enterprise with un-
failing success, beginning with the
selection of the site for the plant down
to the last details of finely organized
sales system, domestic and foreign.
Obviously, here is splendid invest
ment opportunity. The Grand Rapids
Tire G. Rubber Corporation is manufac-
turing staple commodity for which
there is a billion dollar market and a
constantly growing demand. What is
more, its product has an exclusive, dis
tinctive, selling appeal-the rut climb
ing feature. Few companies face such
favorable conditions. Indeed, every
element of success is present.
The detailed story of the company
and its prospects is well told in an in
teresting booklet called "Tire Facts.

CAP|TAL|ST|C PLOT
To DOMINATE CUBAN
SUGAR INDUSTRY
(By Associated Press)

Havana, July 1.-The newspaper
La Discussion has published a charge
that "a" capitalistic plot'' to domin-
ate the Cuban sugar industry has been
formed and that all the Cuban sugar
centrals will be owned by foreigners.
The newspaper assert sthat "when the
Cuban sugar business found in for
eign hands, it is almost certain that
tn price of sugar will rise as if by
magic and that the business will be
on an eve nmore stupendous scale
than now.
"When American capitalists began
ban centrals,' the paper continued,
they foresaw an era of prosperity
and bought, without sparing their
millions as many sugar properties as
were for sale. The price Of the pro-
duct rose to % cents, then it was
seen that a good part Of the crop re-
manned in Cuban hands and that the
Cubans aspired to obtain the highest
possible price. Then the price fell
like an avalanche from 23 to three
cents.
"First bank crisis, then cur
rency crisis. There was no money to
pay for refining, nobody to buy this
years crop from the Cubans.
',Our sugar men now find them
selves owing large sums of money to
the banks. They have not been able
to sell their crop. With the termin-
alton of the moratorium will disap-
pear the restriction against pending
commercial obligations. The sugar
men will have to pay or go bankrupt
The banks are not interested in ho7e
ing sugar centrals.
con the other hand, there exists
much idle foreign capital which Is
anxious to make a killing. Right
now a powerful company is being
formed 10 acquire every central ans
plantation whose owner cannot pay
The properties secured the debts vii

PrivateCredit
For Farmers
(By U. s. Press)

Washington, July 1.-Cd d-Operating
with bankers, the administration ~
helping in the mobilization Of private
credit to relieve farmers. A fund al
ready has been made available for the
livestock industry, and similar assss-
tance is to be given the cotton indus
try, and general farming. The ad-
ministration, meantime, is opposing
Government extensions of credit, if
private resources can be made to sur
fee. Mr. Hoover has frankly voiced
the opposition Of the administration.
''Let us first attempt,' he said
VITO prevent forced liquidation Of
commodities by mobilizing private
capital, as has been done alrady in
the cattle industry, and then if wc
fail there will be time enough 60
-et the Government to take up the
burden directly' Pointing out tna-
the United States had sent to Europe
ga billion dollars worth Of fOodsturfs
in the last eleven months,' Mr.. Hoo
er said it ''was evident that the
Government and people there find
money for foods,'' but conceded that
the situation as to cotton was worse,
"because they tend to reduce thc1r
normal requirements Of textiles.'

CARPENTER HAD NO HARD
FIGHT SINCE WAR
(By Associated Pfess)

July 1.-Since the war, Georges Car
pentier has fought no battle which
really tested his strength. Much Of
his time has been occupied in theatri-
cal tours, including a short trip
through the United States last year,
at the end of which he met Battling
|Levinsky at Jersey City, n. J.
After a short rest following demob-
ilization, Carpenter fought Dick
Smith, a second-r rate heavyweight in
Paris in the summer Of 1919. Car
pentier was an easy victor in eight
rounds. A short time later. English
sportsmen arranged to have Carpenter
Inject Joe Beckett the British heavy
weight in what was expected to be 4
classic battle. Carpenter knocked out
Beckett in single round. In 1920
| HBlink' McCloskey and Grundhaven
both unknown boxers, were easy v;c-
TINS in two rounds each.
On Oct. II in Jersey City, Carpen-
tier met Battling Levinsky in a bout
advertised to be for the "light heavy
weight championship of the world.
It was a fiasco. Levinsky was II
poor condition and Carpenter, having
just completed a theatrical tour, was
far from his best. He had no troubie
however, in knocking out Levinsky
in four rounds but his showing was
| far from impressive and is the basis
for the contentious of those who ex
pect Dempsey to defeat the French
man on July 2. The Levinsky battle
was Carpenter s last appearance IN
/ the ring before he meets Dempsey.

PRINCETON UNDERGRAD
YATES WILL WORK To
STUDY CONDITIONS
(By Associated Press)

Princeton, July 1.-Twenty under
graduates Of Princeton University will
spend their summer vacations or
part Of them in attending the great
university of American industry
that is they are going to work wner-
ever they can get job in order to
study the conditions Of wage earners
and their relations with their employ
ers.
They intend to live, eat and sleep
as other laborers and wage earners
Every week they will meet in groups
to discuss the things they have learn
ed and prepare report to be given to
other college men and future employ
ers. One Of the purposes is to see #
they can discover means Of improving
the conditions Of the wage earners.
For six weeks before the university
closed, 66 Princeton men voluntarily
attended a course Of lectures in which
they listened to speakers alternately
representing the standpoint Of labor
and capital. They studied books on
industrial conditions to equip them
for their effort to deal with what
they regard as perhaps the greatest
today.
They say they do not hope to rev.
olutionize the conditions of the wage
earners but they do hope to be able
to make to employers and capitalists
few suggestions gained from first
hand knowledge Of conditions in Amer
lean industries.
The plan was suggested by Sher-
wood Eddy, a Young Men S Christian
Association secretary who lectured
here on social problems.
Some of the Princeton men already
are at work in New York, Philadel-
phia, Denver, Minneapolis and other
cities. They agreed that none of
them should accept a job if by so do
/ inc he threw out of employment an
other man. The committee in charge
secured positions for more than one
half of the applicants and these were
given to men who were working theil
way through college. The rest are
seeking their own places.
] Princeton is not the only college tt
adopt the plan but is taking one o1
the most active parts in carrying i
Iout. Last summer group of Cau
ffornia students worked in Denver, fol
slowing a plan something like thai
which the Princeton men will attempt

Mr.. w. L. HarreIl testified that ne

Mayor Coleman dismissed the ease
stating that as Mr. White had no

was not exceeding the speed limit, he
would dismiss the case.
