Your Picture on Your
COMPUTATION Ticket
On the N. Y. Central

New York. Oct. 13.-The new face
on-the-ticket rule Of the New York
Central Railroad has put a stop to the
Old practice Of transferring or selling
consultation tickets to suburbanites.
But the commuters didn't like the idea
and they groaned as the cameras
clicked
Their protests were unayailing
however. for the railroad decreed that
no more communication tickets would
be issued after Oct. 1, unless pho-
tograph of the holder was attached to
the ticket. The rush to have pictures
taken was so great during the last
week of grace that almost every sta
ton along the railroads lines was
converted into an emergency photo
graph gallery.
All available photographers were
rounded up and posted at stations
thus giving the ccmmuter an oppor.
tunity. OF being 'mugged" while wait
ing for his train to carry him to work
in the. city.
After the first rush. these photog-
raphers no longer said. look pleas.
ant, please" The commuters said Il
was impossible. An observing train
conductor remarked that it was curl
GUS that many of the photographs
showed scowling countenances.
~ The railroad explained that one Of
the first effects of the new regulations
was tremendous falling-off in the
sale OF Communication tickets at a smg II
station on the West Shore division.
Although this station had only a cor
porals guard of comHuters, 1t used to
sell 10 Communication tickets every
month.
This was the explanation, accord
ing to the railroad:
The communication rate from this
station was only 80 cents, whereas the
regular round-trip fare was S2.70
Some one was buying communication
tickets and then farming them out by
the day ut scalper's rates-$l.50. On

my new occupation, since which time

sides making many useful articles.

years. They are the birds all around
US, in fact all Of the song birds
east Of the Rockies. and true to ma
many of the larger kind. They have
gone into every state in the Union. to
Japan. England. Hong Kong, and
other foreign countries"
Mr.. Mcfarland was born at South
Bristol in 1S4S and has led a busy
life of diversified activities on both
sea and land. Living on the shore Of
Penobscot Bay he early felt the lure
of the sea and at the age of IL became
cook for two men on a small fishing
schooner, working on the farm dur
ing the planting and, harvesting sea-
son. Later he shipped on lobster
smack at So a month, following this
occupation for five Or six years every

Goodyear Manager
 Urges Tire Repair

Many car owners using tires that have developed weak places in the fabric have wondered whether in the interests of economy they should scrap the old tire or spend good money in an attempt to coax more miles from 1t. Innumerable tires are constantly being discarded before their usefulness is over.
 Before discarding an old tire, '' says W. P. Moses. local sales man. ager of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber company of California, it is well to show it to a competent repair man. He will be able to determine whether the expenditure involved will result in the additional mileage expected.
 Tire repair men are not taking the long chances they once did. The de- pendable vulcanizer today recom- mends only such work as he believes will effect a saving to the motorist. If a repair is inadvisable he will not recommend 1t, for every job of that kind means a dissatisfied customer.
 There are a number of ways in which tires apparently worn out can be made to render much greater mile

NEW CORD T|RF MAKES DEbUT I

Many motorists will be glad to learn that the Pharis Tire and Rub
 Der company has recently put on the market a cord tire which is on a par
 with the finest standard cord tires manufactured This cord tire is built of the finest rubber obtainable,
 with long staple cotton. and is hand
 made The carcass of the tire has
 been constructed oversize to give ex-
 tra wear and it has a special tread
 which practically eliminates skid
 ding It carries a guarantee or 10 900 miles which Is unusually high
 The Western Auto Supply Agency, with the enormous buying power of it's IS stores, takes almost the entire output of the Pharis factory and by distributing direct to their custom CTS, eliminate three or four profits otherwise taken by factory branch distributors, dealers, repair and ga rage men. Pharis fabric tires have been handled by this company for over 2 years with excellent results l ard the new cord tire with its high quality materials and massive size is ] expected to give even better service Pharis tires are listed at the same price in the tire rate book as other high class standard tires, but the Western Auto Supply Agency by eliminating the middleman saves
 every customer about 25So. which
 brings the cost of the fabric tire
 down to much below what is paid
 for a similar quality tire, and the cost of the 10.000-mile cord down to about
