 In addition to the attacks on the fashionable hotels and shops many persons were dragged from showy automobiles and beaten. Among those who were roughly handled was Sir W. A. M.

IN all of modern merchandising
i the biggest conundrum is the
fabric tire situation.
Around 1920 of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct for quality is as
strong and insistent as any one
else s. =
Why, then, are they offered
such hodge-podge stocks of dis
count tires, ""odd lots, seconds"
"retreads" and other so-called
bargains of uncertain origin7
Sooner or later the public al
ways seeks out quality. As
matterofseK- protection-iffor
no otherreason. The out-and-out
opinion in favor of u. S. Fabric
Tires has spread more this year
than it ever did.

from our friend, Superintendent
Burns. We thought, of course, he in
tended to whip US, and began to paw
around among the papers on our
desk for our rusty old gun. But be-
fore we found it, Mr.. Burns disarmed
us with his pleasant smile.
Last time we saw Mr. Burns. ne
had the pallor of a student, and we
feared for his health. But now he
looks tanned and vigorous, and we
suspect he has been a fishing. Pity
he doesn't come to Marion county to
do his fishing
He began to talk about railroad
affairs, and. as usual, had us eating
out of his hand (metaphorieally
speaking), in five minutes. Said the
Star had been unjust to him and the
Seaboard but didn't. beef about it.
Said just enough to make US sorry,
and nothing to make US mad. That
is an art. that few possess. Mr..
Burns has Scotch name, but that
tongue of his must have been educat-
eo in mile ortwo of the Barney
stone. Or maybe he is throw-back
to Peric1es.
He acknowledged that the railroad
boys checked up too short with their
trains sometimes, but so patiently
and deity explained why they can't
sometimes help it that we found our
self arguing with him instead of
against him Just think of that!
He said they were going ahead and
doing the best they could, and hoped
in time to have everything fixed so
there would be no chance for the
trains to stop short. And we believed
him! We couldn't help ourself.
Ali that man Burns is, worth
hundred thousand dollars year to
the Seahoard We'd pay dollar an
hour, poor as we are ourself, to have
him come in and talk to US when we
have the blues.
He told us of the work of improve
ment that his road is doing in Tampa,
rot only for that hustling city but
the whole state, and when we told
him we were going to see it as soon
as we could get credited for new
coat and pair of pants, he said for
us not to wait, for in the estimation
of the Seaboard Air Line it wasn't
pants that made the man.
He said that the Star was one of
the few newspaper officers that he
visited, and that made us sorry for
the poor boys that do not have a
chance to talk to him once in while.
He told US that he had had that
nice, new alarm bell and light put in
on Exposition street just to please
US. we, old man Ben, personally. Gee!
but didn't that make US swell up with
pride like poisoned pup. What you
think of a regular automatic railroad
alarm being put in just to please the
editor of one-horse paper! We are
Just old Ben, ourself, but we are go
ing to insist on that bell being called
"Big Ben" And every time you hear
Big Ben hing you must think of old
Ben-we don't care a darn what you
think, just so you think.
We called Mr.. Burns attention to
the great abuse of charging a penny
apiece for water-cups on his road. He
acknowledged it was wrong, said it
was an abuse that had come down
from former days, and said he would
try to have it righted.
Now, all joking aside, Mr.. Burns
showed conmendabIe spirit, and if
he can have that penny a cup impo-
sition stopped he viii do something
for which every passenger on the
Seaboard should rise up and call him
blessed.

BEAUTY HINTS

Complexion muddy? Lots of lit
tie splotches and you don't quite
know what to do about them?
Mustn't take 1t so seriously!
Really you can do just worlds of
easy little things that'll clear it all
UP nicely.
For instance, there's a rather gen.
tie treatment, a mixture that you
can put together yourself and apply
every night for a while until your
skin looks better.
1t requires 3 ounces of powdered
sulphur. one quart of distilled water.
one dram of spirits Of camphor. Mix
the camphor and sulphur to a paste.
then add the water. Let it stand "a
hours and then strain. Apply the
mixture which results. to your skin
every night after cleansing.
There's another mixture you can
fix at home. Quite as helpful and
quite as easy to make.
The requirements are four grams
of t~incture of benzoin, six grams of
borax, 10 grams of spirits of CAM
phor, 100 grams of orange flower
water.
This. too, should be put on the
face after the nightly cleansing.

Emotion blinds US. To discover

Emotion blinds women in love
more frequently than men. and
more completely, If the extracts
from two letters prove anything al
all.
II am desperately in love and
have been engaged a year.
Three months g the young
man went e a nearby city to work.
He has seldom written TO me. He
has been to see me but twice in six
weeks. When he came he acted
like a mere acquaintance. He
speaks Of marriage any more.

him for fear he will surely think ]
am giving him up for another mani"
This girls love is a fog through
which she cannot see the truth.
She is afraid HE will think SHE
loves another-if she cease to write!
He has stopped writing-and she
can't guess that 1t is because an
other woman is taking up his time.
Take a hundred cases of disillu-
stoned love. and in ninety-nine of
them the girl will assume that she
is somehow to blame.
The capacity of the female heart
for hanging on to a romance after
the man has forgotten il is once
more illustrated:

marry the only man I ever loved. He
little unnamed girl in Mrs. Conger's
tone. And she had worked out a

more than her weekly expenses on
everything. she'd gradually get out

"Since then Pve been slower than
ever to blame girls. / take it for
granted they're trying and most of
the thine they are.
They had a condition to face, in
supporting themselves. that boys do
not-there is a slight prejudice
against them in certain lines of busi-
ness, and then there's always the
possibility that they will marry
That in a sense works against them.
It's different with a a People,
especially employers, scarcely gen

on his own ability.
