sILVERTOWNs INCLUDED IN THE
20 PER CENT PRICE REDUC-
TIONS.

Motorists will all be glad to know
that the famous Silvertown Cord
Anti-Skid. Safety Tread Tires are in
cluded in the recent 20 per cent price
reduction which brought tire prices
back to pre-war basis. Among tires
ISilvertown is the name that instantly
conveys the thought of the highest
quality Motor car manufacturers
and dealers are quick to emphasize
TO their prospects that their cars are
equipped with Silvertowns, knowing
that neither explanation nor argu-
ment is necessary,
This reduction brings Goodrich
prices to a point 10 per cent below
tie pre-war schedules, as represented
by the 1913 level. 1t is rather start
ling to find that in 1910 tire prices
were lis per cent higher than the
Goodrich prices today.
Mr.. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, has recently suggested
that when price reductions are made
compared with the prices on same
articles one year ago. In the case OF
Goodrich this would show that last
November tires were reduced about
Is per cent and on May End Good
rich reduced prices on every size and
style of their tires including Silver
town 20 per cent.
4 tangible expression of the great
er mileage service now being built
into tires is reflected by the higher
basis Of adjustment generally used
by the leading companies. Thus, if
tire proves defective today it is ad
justed, under the Goodrich plan, On
the basis of 5000 miles if 1t is a
Fabric, and 5000 miles if it is of
Cord construction. Contrast this with
years ago, i. e., $500 miles, and it is
easy to comprehend the great prog
ress made in tire manufacture.
1t is not a far-fetched conclusion
to say that tires today give from so
percent TO 100 per cent greater mile
age than they did few years ago.
I'Therefore, if the tire companies were
selling mileage today at the 1915
price level, tires would actually cost
from $500 to $500 more than at
present. The conclusion is obvious,
therefore, that based on comparative
service tires cost less today than ev-
er before.
The rubber industry is to be COM
plimented on its rapid progress to-
ward normal. 1t represents an earnest
effort to meet the wishes of the Ad-
Imlnistration and the general public
in the establishment of lower price
levels on which all classes of trade
can unite and transact business.
The price reduction campaign in
stituted by Goodrich has received the
endorsement of motorists, dealers
and the press-as an economic move
in tune with the spirit of the times.

"LIKKERED" CANDY A JOKE.

Recently some Charlotte school
children showed all signs of being
drunk after eating some candy
brought by the father of one OF them
from Chicago. Charlotte health au-
thorities concluded that the candy,
which when broken gave out the old
familiar smell, had made the children
drunk and that maybe some wonder
ful process had been discovered by
which "likker" had been locked in
-side the candy. Samples were sent to
Raleigh, tests were applied and State
Chemist Allen deposes and says not
. . trace Of alcohol was found. So
What made the Charlotte school
children drunk" remains an unsol-
yed question.

LACK OF MONEY MAY
SAVE BOOTLEGGERS.
Thousands of Alleged Law Violators
Aided by Let-Up i'm Enforcement.

Washington, May 22-Thousands of
bootleggers may escape punishment
for violation of the liquor laws as a
result of the furlough of 700 federal
prohibition agents until July /, says
commissioner Kramer. In any event,
he added, many of the cases will
have to be continued over the forty
days, which will add to the conges-
ton of already crowded court dock
cts.
Most OF the governments import
ant witnesses in the liquor cases now
before the courts, Mr.. Kramer eX-
planned, are the agents who worked
up the evidence against the defend
ants Most OF these men, he said,
it necessary either to subpoena them
and pay their way to the places of
trial or continue the cases.
AT present, Mr.. Kramer said, it is
too soon to gauge the effect on the
illegal liquor traffic which may result
from the loss of 700 agents for forty
days. because of the lack of funds to
pay their salaries. However. he as
serted, the cut would hurt the prohi-
bition enforcement unit in every way
and set back if not undo the work
done in organizing the force.
Millions Have Been Lost.
millions have been lost" he said,
Gin an attempt to save few hundred
thousand dollars"
Mr.. Kramer said he could not pro-
phesy whether there would be greater
bootlegging activity over the country
during the forty-day let-off of most
Of the government agents, but he in
dicated he expected some increase of
lawlessness.
So far as real whiskey is concerned.
Mr.. Kramer said, the supply in the
country could be controlled at the
sources by restrictions on withdraw
ais from warehouses. and that any
trouble to be expected would come
from smuggled liquors and the use
of alcohol diverted to illegal pur-
poses"

BIRD LANGUAGE.

(The following pretty little bird
story, clipped from the current issue
of the Literary Digest, is from the
pen of c. A. David, q cousin of Dr. ].
III. David, and well-known writer and
cartoonist:)
The Partridge Children and their
Mother.
The yellow, fuzzy partridge babies
are among the best-behaved of the
little woods children, We are inform
ed. From the minute they step out of
the egg shells until they are big
enough to leave home and support
themselves, they mind every word
their mother says, and don't have to
be told twice. IF you don't want to
be beaten up" says their wise moth
eT, you do just as you're told" for
she knows all about the owls and
hawks and foxes and snakes and pos
sums that are always on the lookout
for delicate bite. Just how she
trains her children is told by c.. A.
David in story quoted from The
Christian Observer. in the Alabama
Bird Day Book" This bird book is
published by the Alabama Depart
ment of Conservation for the school
children of the State, and is made
up of poems and brief illustrated ar
tlcles about birds and little stories
like this one of the partridge mother
and her babies:
She has a different call an d a diff
ferent tone for all occasions. and it
is not long before the children learn
them all and obey each one instantly.
IF fhn moi har hn c1, ,c n
hawk, she would quickly call out,
"Kwit kwit." whic h meant in par
fridge talk, Run! rum" and in a
second they would all be squeezing
under her wings. Then she would
teach them how TO hide when there
wasn't anything TO hide under. Ii she
saw fox or one of those dreadful hui
mans, she would call out, "W-r-r-."
which meant hide, and hide quick,
and the little yellow balls would just
melt out OF sight, and you could not
tell for the life of you what had be-
come of them. When all danger
seemed past, she would say very soft
ly, "K-reet," which, as every par
fridge knows, means, "All right. you
can come out now" and soon they
would be gathered about the mother
as If nothing had happened. One lit
tie fellow crawled from under leaf,
another seemed to come to life from
bunch Of grass; another came into
view on a piece of bark, where he
had flattened himself; and still an
other came from under a root. Each
one had instantly hidden IN or under
the thing that was nearest when their
mother gave the warning and never
so much as moved muscle or wink
ed an eye Suppose little partridges
did not mind their mothers. but stop
TO ask "Why?" How many do
you supposed would live to be grown ?
, She also takes them out in the fields
and shows them what things are
4 good to eat and what they must new
er touch. She tells them that fat
white ants eggs are splendid and that
young grasshoppers are the best ever

But in this case the play is not the
thing--it is the star, and Bessie Bar
riscale could make you glad that you
went to the performance whether you
approve of Mr.. Hickmans play or not
One of the finest little condolences
on the stage, she has been away for
too long, for she combines beauty and
a sense of humor to degree seldom
found on the stage or off. Miss Bar
riscaie certainly was taking a terrible
chance when she cssayed to make you
like the heroine, Betty Price, but she
did it,, working against heavy odds
Betty was one of those spoiled young
women who thought she looked cute
in boys clothes, so she dresses up as
cowboy and goes to the ranch of
the man she loves as COW puncher
Mr.. Hickman had very little material
left for that last act, but no one would
notice this if he would keep the star
