AS a matter of fact, there are four
other paved routes that may be taken
to the bay, enabling picnic parties
to enjoy an auto ride and arrive just
at the time they desire. 1t is possible
to take the Ferndale route, the Gus
ter route, the Bellingham route, or
the Everson-Lawrence-B bingham
route to the Bay, and not be off the
pavement at any time all the way.
Lynden now has a paved road con-

EXPLAINS WHY IF
 BLACK CASINOS

From the beginning of the auto mobile tire industry, the treads of tires were made of compounds which when vulcanized gave a white or light gray color.
 This type of compound was in common use throughout the industry up to about the years 1912 or 1913. when a new compromising ingredient jet black in color. appeared on the market
 This new ingredient was first used in very small quantities in making up the rubber compound, and mere ly for the purpose of producing a dark gray or black color, and with no thought of affecting the durability or wearing qualities of the tread.
 Tn our experiments" says a bull letin of the United States Tire com pany, we found that by using this ingredient in fairly large percent ages. new type of tread compound could be produced which was ap- proximately twice as resistant ito abrasion and cutting as the old c4h- ventional tread compound
 This new black compound was used when our Royal cord tire was first put on the market It was not long before compounds of much the same type were in common use throughout the industry"

SINH I'll SAYS BIC
 TIRES CHEAPER
 THAN SMALL ONES

Did you know that. contrary to commonly accepted opinions. it is actuallyNeven less costly per ton mile to haul on heavy duty pneumatic truck tires than on the smaller pneu- matics? The bigger the tire ordin- arily, the lower the cost. As charges for haulage are made by weight and distance. rather than on distance ir- respective of load, costs should also be figured on this basis" Bill Smith, of the Miller Rubber company. was speaking.
 At today's tire prices, 34x5 tire and tube equipment plus war tax for a % ton truck figured on a 10000 mile basis, costs .0482 cents per ton nile For a 1-ton truck, 34x5 front and 336x6 rear, tires cost -0462 jer ton mile A 2-ton tire equipment using 36x6 and 40xS, costs .0345 cents per ton mile. The 3 K ton truck requiring 3Sx6 and 44x10 tires. costs 037 cents per ton mile.
 Five years ago it would have seemed incredible if the claim had been made that air cushioning in a tire built of cotton and rubber could stand the jar punishment of the road under load of tons per tire, for lecturers. according to the Miller Rubber company, have now gone a step further than merely turning a great mass of rubber and fabric into finished tire-they are making these tires lower in cost ton mile to the truck and fleet owner"

BRINGS OUT NEW
 CUSHION TIRE

AKRON. O., May 29-Truck tire exnerts of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company announce the per fecting of d new type of truck tire that bids fah to cause a sensation in tire and truck circles.
 This tire is known as the Firestope Giant cushion and is the result of several years experimenting and ser vice tests A development of the small cushion tire and the giant sim grooved solid, it is claimed for the giant cushion that it is universal in its adaptation to trucks.
 From general opinion on the sub ject and from different cushion tires on the market. the impression seems to have gained ground that cushion tires could be used only on small trucks. Firestone experts say long tests have proved that the new giant cushion completely overthrows this theory, for this new tire may be placed on all sizes of trucks. from three fourths of ton to seven and one half tons, and in every class of service.
 The larger volume of rubber, extra width of tread and larger contact on the road make possible a very low pressure and strain per square inch on the tire. This, of course. causes less deflection and generates less heat, which makes the tire live longer and stay lively up to the time it is taken off
 It is further pointed out that the tread design, which is combination of the so- called cup tread of the small cushion and the grooves of the giant. is an exclusive feature that makes the giant cushion as nearly a perfect non skid as a tire can be without air.
 The familiar cushion shape, said to be exclusive to Firestone cushion truck tires; the flexibility of the rubber, together with the combination of cups, grooves and crossbars. makes a very lively action on the road. and all this tends to lessen the power re- quired to move the truck. This also keeps down the tendency of the tires edges breaking off. common with | many solids, due to abuse by oper- ators.
 The fact that the giant cushion is
 of s. A. E. dimensions and built tc carry heavy loads, at the same ,time | protecting against abuse of the roads 1 is expected to make such a tire very popular, and reports state that pro- | duction is already hard pressed tt

 However there are two safe rules to follow which, if strictly adhered to, take all the uncertainty and guesswork out of buying a battery, placing it on a firm foundation. of demonstrated facts, thus insuring ab- solute satisfaction.

Finding the ''Fountain of Youth at the end of 14,000 mile trip in search of health is the successful conclusion of a motor tour of the Showalter family from the famous Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, ac-, cording to Arch Dulmage.
 The West is the recognized mecca for health seekers, but after making the trip overland by automobile we believe the journey enroute with a good car forms worthwhile ele- ment in the quest" said Elmo Sho- walter upon his arrival in Los Angeles
 We took the entire trip in a lei surely fashion. There were only four of us in our Essex car, my mother. father and sister. The change it made in all of us was astonishing Now we know what it means to live

 do more than all the doctors and medicine in the world. At least that is our opinion.

COMES OUT
 STRONG FOR GOOD ROADS

Most good roads advocates have probably read the message of Presi- dent Harding delivered to congress April 12. This declaration on the part of the president is perhaps the first time since the days of the Old Cumberland road that the subject of good roads has received any at tention from the administration. It is therefore cheering to at least find president who places himself squarely on record in favor of ele- vating highway transportation to the place it is entitled to in the business of the country.
 Heretofore it has seemed that the railroad system of the country was considered the only real method of moving the products and the peo- pie of the nation from one point to another, in spite of the fact that highway transportation has achieved d rank very short of being the equal of railway transportation.
 Referring to highways as being scarcely second in importance to railroads in the transportation of the country, the president expressed the belief that the federal agency of administra ton should be elevated to the importance and vested with authority comparable to the work be- fore it.' Emphasis was placed upon the matter of maintenance, and it also was indicated that the federal dealings should be with the states and not with the counties. It would be reasonable to assume | that President Harding favors fed eral commission or board; a require ment that the state itself should function as such in roads building: and that no money from the national | l + A. any road for which upkeep is not definitely provided.
 Since Senator Charles E. Town send chairman of the senate com mittee on postoffices and post roads. has discussed good roads on various occasions with President Harding, who called him to the White House on the day before the delivery of the message, it Is not difficult to under stand why the highways section of kthe message accords in great degree with the opinions that have been ex- pressed by the senior senator from Michigan.
 Though the average good roads ad- vocate has probably read what Presi- dent Harding said, second perusal ! of it is recommended, and the text here foIlows:
 Transportation over the highways is little less important. but the prob lems relate to construction and de- | velopment. and deserve your most earnest attention because we are lay ing a foundation for a long time to come, and the creation is very diff cult to visualize in its great possi- 1 bilities
 ''The highways are not only feeders to the railroads and afford relief from their local burdens; they are actually lines of motor traffic in interstate commerce. They are the smaller arteries of the larger portion of oul commerce, and the motor car has be
 come an indispensable instrument in our political, social and industria
 life.

 The soxSh is the product that F1restone has specialized in at its recently constructed Plant No. 2, this entire factory. with capacity of 16.- 900 tires a day being devoted to the manufacture of this one size. Its machinery and force are designed to reduce production costs to the mini mum

mands of the day for economy and efficiency are given as the reasons for the Firestone's ability to make the sensational price reductions just announced.
 The company recently reached production of approximately 20 900 castings a day. and the announcement was made only few days ago that every one of the company's 10, 900 employees had become a stockholder in the concern. This return to volume production and the effort and personal pride which the share holding organization is putting into the work gives the company an ad vantage in the field, according to one of the officials.
 The reduced manufacturing cost of the Firestone product is passed down the line to the ultimate con sumner, and the SIS .95 tire promises to have a far greater sale than ever, in view of the fact, too, that the dealer is handling this particular brand on a narrow margin of profit.
 Back in 1913,' according to the official. "car owners figured they were doing well to obtain 4000 miles -or even 3000-from their tires. Now, however, with manufacturing processes at high degree of perfec- tion such as prevails in the Firestone plants. service of 10000 miles or more is not out of the ordinary" With the reductions in prices of tires, lower gasoline costs and de- creased upkeep charges are an nounced in various quarters, so with favorable weather the year 1921 looks like a motorists wear indeed.

T know of nothing more shocking than the millions of public funds wasted in improved highways - wasted because there is no policy of maintenance. The neglect ts not universal, but it is very nears it. There Is nothing the congress carf do more effectively to end this shock ing waste than condition all federal aid on provisions for maintenance. Highways. no matter how generous the outlay for construction. can not be maintained without patrol and constant repair. Such conditions in- sisted upon in the grant of federal aid will safeguard the public whics- pays and guard the federal govern ment against political abuses, which tend to defeat the very purposes for which we authorize federal expendi- ture

provement wisely, I believe, 1t can assert a wholly becoming influence in shaping policy.
 With the principle of federal par ticipation acceptably established, probably never to be abandoned. 1t is important to exert federal influence in developing comprehensive plans looking to the promotion of com merce. and apply our expenditures in the surest way to guarantee pub lie return for money expended.
 Large federal outlay demands a federal voice in the program of ex- penditure. Congress can not justify a mere gift from the federal purse to the several states. to be prorated among counties for road betterment. Such a course will invite abuses which it were better to guard against in the beginning.
