Bergougnan Tires
Fall in Line With
Cut Price Parade

Bergounan tires which long have
held a front place among the fore
most tires Of the world. but have
not been siver the publicity in this
country they enjoy In France. have

was announced yesterday by of
fcisls Of that company at Tren-

Abroad the Bergougnan tire has
enjoyed great popularity and
equipped nearly all the allied artil-
lery during the war. They are
bonded in this country by the Ma
tiond Surety Company. of New
York for an exceptionally high
mileage. This bond is a distinct in
noyation in the tire neld.
The high cost of living. says the
announcement, has hit the auto
mobile owner a little harder than
any other class. but Bergougnan
tires will help TO relieve this con-
dition by offering reductions of from
liz per cent to 81 per cent of the
list prices.

LOWER GASOLINE
PRICES INDICATED
Falling Crude Oil Mart Fore
casts Restoration of Pre-
war Costs.

Lower costs OF transportation and
a consequent reduced cost OF doing
business, are seen by motorists in
the recent decline Of Mid-continent
from s1.76 to $3.50 per barrel.
The drop in crude means failing
gasoline prices. Standard Oil of In
diana has already reduced the price
per gallon in the Middle West by ,
general lower levels in all sections.
In some states 1t is now at % cents
a gallon.
As 100000 of the 5000. 900 motor
vehicles in the conutry are owned
by farmers and as GO per cent of
automobiles mileage Is for business
purposes, the fuel prices have u
direct bearing on the cost of doing
business. The leadership of the oil
companies in reducing, prices is be-
ing hailed in motor circles as a
basic move in reconstruction which
will permit lowered costs of doing
business.
1t is believed that lowered prices
OF steel together with the downward
movement in fuel, are leading to a
stabilization of industry which will
permit resumption of trade on a
peace time basis.
No increase of prices in the fuel
field is likely. The high levels of
early 1920 were based on a demand
temporarily in excess of supply. At
present, however, many refineries
are closing down for lack of busi-
ness. 1921 gasoline production has
been far ahead of 1920. being l1,3l1.-
$50 gallons In January as compared
with S,696.5SS gallons in the pre-
ceding year. and 10,079.6o9 in Feb
ruary as compared with 9,726.eS5
gallons in the second month of 1920.
(U. S. Bureau of Mines figures.) The
daily refining capacity of the United
States is now 1.SSS,S00 gallons,
whereas it was 1,53o565 gallons in
1920. The excess of gasoline pro-
duction over demand in 1920 was
626.11S,694 gallons.

PUBLIC RESPONDS
CARPRICECUT
Chevrolet Records Show Big
Increase in Sales Every
where.

The response to the announce
ment Of new prices for Chevrolet
cars proves. that the company has
done the right thing.
Reports from more than 1000
Chevrolet dealers throughout the
United States and Canada show a
tremendous increase in the number
of orders everywhere. The eight
great factories and assembly plants
of the company are all working to
greater capacity than at any time
for the past year.
The public has learned to appre-
ciate value in automobiles as in
everything else. In offering a COM
pletely equipped quality car at the
lowest price on the market the
company has met the public on the
iatter's own terms. And the public
is taking quick advantage of the
opportunity.
II is proving the company tusti-
fed in its action. II Is proving that
there is greater desire and greatr
actual need for automobiles today
than ever before.
The motor car has proved itself a
necessary utility. Motor transpor-
tation is essential, in all business
and individual progress. 1t has
taken its place with food, clothing,
shelter and fuel.
Because OF this the automobile
business has survived the greatest
crisis in its history. The sounoness
of the business through which each
company has grown in the past Is
proved by its ability to take its loses
at this time. Having done this II
faces an even greater demand and
greater business in the future.

OF haulage it can best perform. We
believe that all should have equal
opportunities for development, and
that all should stand equal before

AT present We are the most taxed

WOMEN ARE ADDING INCHES
AS THE YEARS ROLL ON

PHILADELPHIA build
ing 'em bigger. Dressmakers say So
corsetieres agree there's something
in it, and now along comes cold, cal
culating science to explain why wom-
en- weigh more than they ever did
before.
Women are no fatter, say the
physical culture experts. They're
simply larger, and here's the reason:
inches taller as a class than forty
years ago. Their chests are larger
their waist lines have widened. Their
muscles have hardened. All this
makes them weigh more.
The changes, according to those
who have made a study of the SUP
ject, are simple enough to explain.
Women, especially during the last
twenty years or so, gradually nave
been converted from the clinging,
vine to robust persons who are PROUD
rather than ashamed of the physical
feats they can accomplish. Partlcl-
patton in sports has turned the Trick.
Time was" explained William
Hermann, a physical training expert,
when woman thought vigorous
use VI IIlo bOuy anu ALS AZ 49,
unladylike. All that has changed
of course, and the gradual partlclpa-
ton Of women in sports and various
forms of exercise actually, has
brought about a change in her height
and her figure. The change In
height is not simply a case of attn
letics having taught a woman to
change that can be measured"
In commenting on the change IN
the feminine physique several Phil
adelphia dressmakers said the change
was principally noticeable in high
err chest and larger waistline, but
that perhaps the change in waistllne
was due more to the dictates OF
Paris than any actual physical
change.
Mr.. Hermann, however, holds that
there has been actual shifting in the
figure lines.
7NThe old-time hip measurement has
disappeared" he said. This, of
course, does not actually mean that
the hip measurement has grown
INHALER, but the waistline actually
has grown larger, and gives that ap-
pearance. Chests have been built up
because exercise has taught women
to breathe properly and slowly. It
will add to the years of their LIE.
To breathe slowly is to live longer.
The tortoise, the slowest breathing
animal Of all, lives a thousand

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking it's place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people

Ia perfectly safe and gives better
results" said a prominent local
druggist Dodson's Liver Tone is
personally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and if it fails
to give easy relief in every case of
liver sluggishness and constipation,
you have only to ask for your money
back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness. sick

Cement Men Face
Anti Trust Suits
Bv the Government

NEW YORK, Sept. IA supple
mentary indictment charging the At
las Portland Cement company,
eighteen other corporations and for
ty-four Of their officers with VIOLA
ton of the Sherman antitrust law.
returned by the special federal grand
jury August 6, was made public last
night by Federal Attorney Hayward.
Most of the defendants are out on
bail on the original indictment
They are members Of the so-called
northeastern group of cement manu-
facturers and dealers engaged in
the sale and shipment of cement in
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia and New York. They will
be notified to appear for pleading
September 6.
The supplementary Indictment al
legged that the defendants, through
the Cement Manufacturers Protec-
tive association, were kept mutually
Informed of the transactions =. of
competitors in their group according
competition. The government claims
that this method of doing business
is a cloak for unlawful practices and
that it is such a radical departure
from the old-fashioned custom I'M
der which business men attended to
their own business without consult
ing competitors, that its legality
must be submitted to the courts.
The second count of the indict-
ment was drawn to test the question
whether the mere adoption of the
Eddy plan does not constitute a
contract in restraint Of trade under
the Sherman law when the law
holds all persons responsible for the
natural result of such adoption,
which is elimination of competition.
