GOODYEAR ANNOUNCES
REDUCTION In TIRES

Drastic reductions in tire and tube
prices have been announced by The
Goodyear Tire * Rubber Go. They are
effective November IS.
The new price schedule brings the
cost Of tires definitely below prc-wal
costs. despite the tact that tires to-
day art twice as good as they were
"a few years ago, according 4" ac-
tual average mileage records.
An interesting feature is the fact
that the changes announced by Good
year brings down The margin Of DIFF.
ference between fabric and cord tires.
Cords can be bought within - to 30
per cent as cheaply as fabrics under
the new schedule.

How can i keep engine from back fir

Answer-The miss seems to be due
TO poor carburetion. A reimbursement
OF the carburetor should help TO re-,
duce this. Also clean and test spark
plugs.
a tablespoonful of Kerosene in each
cylinder about every hundred miles
will prove to advantage.
When the throttle is opened quick

too much air. Too much air is also
Indicated by back firing into the car

The magnetic is used for ignition
purposes, and unless specially designed
for other purposes should not be so
used.
Valves should he ground frequently.
If not they will put and leak. Some
motors are better than others in this
respect. Usually the exhaust valves

MOTORISTS SHOULD BE
CAREFUL OF BATTERIES

In the old days, gasoline economic
erS were quite in style with the get
rich-quiclt fiends. They We're much
more common than they are now. one
could buy them in powder, tablet or
liquid f. rm and probably administer
them in homeopathic or allopathic
doses fer the effect was just the
same.
As long as the ear owner was very
careful to have the carbon removed
from the engine cylinders. tho valves
ground and the carburetor adjusted,
and then apply the so-called econo'
mizer to the fuel tank. he was certain
TO get greater mileage, per gallon OF
gasoline. And no wonder!
The same thing applies to the pres
ent day storage battery ''rejuvcnat-
ors", ~'rechargins solutions" and what
not, that are being sold as myster-
ious compounds and wonderful discov-
cries which rccharge your storage bat
terry in twenty minutes. Any battery
service station can do the came thing

The surprising thing Is the willing
ness Of many people TO pay fabulous
prices. three to five dollars being
asked for a single application Of these
dopes when most storage battery SER
vice stations would d. the same thing
for twenty-five cents.
There is nothing mysterious about
pouring strong acid solution into o
discharged battery and having it OPP
crate in twenty or thirty minutes
afterward. Any service station car
do that, but the normal way to re
charge n battery is to pass II cur
rent of electricity through it and ayoiC
lnjuring it or shortening its life. Th'
quick way is TO lay three TO fiv'
dollars for about twenty-five cent
worth of strong acid-and then SUI

MR.. WELLS SHOWS HE WEARS
A RATHER THIN BRITISH SKIN

If France is going back to the policy
Of Louis XIV, as H. G. Wells charges,
then what has Mr.. Wells gone back
to? The policy Of George III, ut the
very least. And it was Mr.. Wells not
France, that told US those old ami
ynosities, national, racial, traditional
must be buried and the world brought
together in town meeting.
France has offered some explana-
ton for what some fearful souls call
it's militarism, but what is Mr.. Wells
defence for his eighteenth century
jingoism? He now talks exactly like
recruiting sergeant after the rup-
ture of the peace of Amiens, asking
British yeomen if they are going to
let that frog eating Bonaparte make
slaves of British bulldogs. Premier
BRAND has scratched Mr.. Wells, and
underneath the brotherhood skin re-
vealed a patriot.
This patriot, who lately denounced
all boundary lines, now comes run
ming all out of breath to say that
France is planning war on Britain:
When Premier BRAND sees Germany
planning war on France, Mr.. Wells is
ribald. But when Mr.. Wells sees
France gathering submarines to de-
stroy British commerce he expects us
to be grave. Such is transformation
worked when an internationalist
turns patriot.
That there has been in recent
! months drifting apart of France
! and Britain cannot be denied. It is
charge to be regretted and, if pos
sible checked. But what is Mr.. Wells
doing to check it? Nothing at ALL In.
7tead, he has raised his voice with
a jingo chorus and is crying French
militarism with the loudest. Because
VI. BRAND dares put French security
first at Washington, Mr.. Fells finds
n the premier only a special pleader.
Because the guardian of French in
terests at the conference asserts
that events have isolated France Mr.
| Wells finds him uttering nonsense.
The French leader gives fabulous
account" when he details facts about
Germany's recovery, and Isl insulting
to Britain when he assumes that
France faces this gathering strength
alone. Mr.. Wells sees tlrou gh the
plot. France is using the bugaboo of
Germany and Russia to keep pre-
pared military machine with which
she means to seize the hegemony
of Europe. It. is to be a new age of
Louis XIV, with France a. rising mil
itary power which Britain must
