will not be so scarce as year ago,
nor will the hired man command such

Have Each Tire
 Tested To Save
 Worry On Sunday

"A little attention to tires at the right time will prevent many Sun day motor trip from being .marred by punctures and blow-outs,' in the opin- ion of Walter Langford, proprietor of the Lowell Motor Company, local agent for Gates tires.
 Half of the motorists who start out Sunday morning or afternoon for jaunt around the country spend much of the time worrying about tires" Lanford says. And, after worrying several hours over whether the old tire with a boot over it, or the weak-looking tube, is going to hold, the driver of a car is as tired as if he or she had been changing tires all day. "4
 Tire trouble is mostly worry. And worry Is tiring, especially whenyit is about tires. The one sure way of en- toying an auto trip Sunday and for getting all about tire troubles is 10 have every tire inspected before start ing by competent tire expert. It takes little time, frequently prevents trouble on the road and is something that any tire man is always glad to do."

SIZZLING SUMMER OF 1921 IS .s CAUSING ALL NEW YORK CITY
 TO SEEK OL' SWIMMING HOLES

NEW YORK, Aug 6.-The sizzling summer of 1921 has made all New York want to go a-swimming - but there isn't room enough for all to swim.
 On week-ends it's a strong man who can battle into bath houses at nearby beaches and even if there were more bath houses, it's hard to imagine how many more thousands could gain foot hold on the crowded sands.
 So, from City Hall down, every one is trying to locate new swimming holes-and a twentieth century swim ming hole in Americas largest city is costly proposition. Mayor Hylan has urged construction of a swim ming pool in Central Park and it has been suggested that an unneeded res ervoir may be converted to the uses of a perspiring eitizenry, but at pres ent it's all talk, and talk is even more heating.

 If I didn't know how deaf MT. Edi- son is," smiled Bishop Anderson, Il might charge myself with preaching him to sleep!"
 Mrs. EdIson laughed and said:

 Nevertheless his every instinct is Christian. {x <
 He is not sensitive about his deaf ness, as so many are. He thinks. deaf ness has its compensatIons. He says he can work beJter-and besides, so many people say things that aren't worth hearing!"
 EdIson's Theory %
 The woods will get you If you don't watch out.
 Stay out close to nature long enough and you won't want to come back to the civilizing influences of trolley cars, telephones, porcelain bathtubs and nickled plumbing
 That's Thomas A. Edisons theory.
 Every man way down in his heart revolts at civilization" said Edison, in camp with Henry Ford and H. s. Firestone. Every man will revert to barbarism if given half chance.
 Turn a man loose in the woods and he won't want to come back aft CT while. Man is like a domesti- cated animal I saw a dog revert to the wild life of his ancestors in ex actly three days,
 We don't live long enough to find out what life is all about" he said But we know what civilization is. It is mere veneer that keeps on get ting thicker-but never too thick to pierce.
 Tt will be 15,000 years, I think be fore man will have reached such a high point of civilization where he cannot, and will not want to, go back to the barbaric life.
 T have friend down near Fort Myers, my Florida home, who took a Seminole boy out of the Everglades and gave him the best education DOS r tsible. Yet he slipped back into the old life. Natives in such places as Africa do the same thing very ofter in spite of missions.

 BLUE LAWS, TOO
Tokio Chamber Commerce is in Favor of Closing All
 Shops Every Sunday

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Blue laws are having their powerful opponents in Japan as we'll as in the United States, according 10 information received by the Presbyterian Board of ForeIgn Missions at the Boards headquarters, 155 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Advices received by the board are that the Tokyo Chamber of Commerce. has formally put itself on record by the adoption Of a resolution favor ing the closing of all shops on Sunday. Heretofore Sunday has been, as a rule. wide open
 Following this action a commission began study not only of the Sunday problem. but also of plans for inn proving the hours of labor through the week. The project calls for a weekly rest day. shorter hours and more cOnsiderate treatment of em- plOyees. This commission designs to provide weekly rest day for all em- ployees except in hotels. eating house and public baths and also that work ing hours shall be restricted to 9R per day. with hours only for young persons employed.
 Another important piece of news reported from Japan to the Presby- terian Beard is the tendency of the priests of every denomination of Bud dhism to popularize the Buddhist be- lief by participation in every sort of social service. which up to this time has been neglected by them. As a re- suit a Chair of Sociology has been established at the Jodo Sect College at Sugamo. at Setagaya and at Osaka. where every scheme and measure of social service Is to be investigated. X Social Service Bureau has also been established where relief work special missionary work and other forms will be undertaken. The new temple of Zojoji. now under construc- ton. will be the headquarters on it's completion in 1924 and a special or ganizatiOn for social services will be formed by the priests of the JOdo sect. where funerals will be conducted for the poor families free Of charge.

 in Bottom ssof Auto

VLADIVOSTOK, Aug. 6.-General Semienoff whose officers recently pro- claimed him Supreme Ruler of Si- beria, made his mysterious getaway from Vladivostok by hiding on the bottom of a motor car which was escorted by two automobiles contain ing Japanese soldiers and arms, ac- cordlng to a statement issued by the press bureau of the Vladivostock government.
 The statement contlnued: The presence of the armed Japanese .gdad prevent the Kappel forces from detain1ng Ataman Semienoff Infor- nation has been received recently that Semienoff had arrived at Nikolsk and is staying at the headquarters of one of his attachments.
 Tt is reported from authoritative sources that Seminoff intends to pro- claim himself supseme ruler of the Maritime Provinces, to establish d government of his own to requisition all government stores and goods, and to control the railway traffic to Gro dekovo. The Maritime government is indignant with the Ataman for his flight and had decided to summon hlm to court trial for leaving Viadivostok wilfully. and going to Grodekovo, in spite of the fact that he was strickly forbidden by the government
 The Maritime government believes that the Ataman was rendered as sistance in his escape by some off cers who are supposed to be Japanese, without the consent or knowledge of the Japanese command. Being asked about the attitude of the Japanese command with regard to Semienoff's flight, Captain Fukuda, a member of the Japanese military mission, said that the Japanese command advised the Ataman not to violate the govern ments's orders. The Japanese com mand did not render any assistance to Semienoff in his flight, and was informed about the Ataman's depar- ture, only when he had left the city.
 lin view of the persistent rumors being circulated in Vladivostok. to the effect that the Japanes command as sisted the Ataman in his flight with the help of some Japanes officers the Japanese command is making inves tigations about the matter. If the rumors prove to be true, the guilty officers will be tried by court and punished"
