King, Democrat, Of Utah, declared
that the tariff measure already was
being used as a means OF advancing
prices in this country. He read from
published reports that the American
Woolen mills had made a second ad.
vance in prices and predicted that
these raises would be extended to
other commodities, including boots,
shoes and cotton.
+ Senator Norris, Republican, of Ne
braska, discussing the duties pro
posed on shotguns said the idea was
to put up high tariff wall behind
which American gun manufacturers
could advance prices sufficiently tc
take care of their losses in invading
the markets of the world and Gfiv

that this not only was true with ref

reference to sewing machines. paints

BAMBINO BABE ruth
MADE CAPTAIN I.
OF YANKEE
BALLCLUB
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT.

pHlteu IfeSS StaII correspondent.
NEW YORK, March l5.-Babc Ruth
keeps on getting more famous all the
time. The swat king is now the captain
Of the Yankee ball club. The club per-
haps figured the BAN deserved the hon
ors and privileges that go with the title.
1t seems also that the club made an
error in announcing that Ruth was to
get $500 every time he raped one over
the fence. Instead of getting n nice
bonus for doing his act he is to work
on straight salary.
The name of Commissioner Lands
WASH It mentioned, but it is rather easy
to assume that the boss of the game
suggested to the Yankee owners that
everything wasn't well with their ar
rangement.
Miller Huggins, manager of the club
didn t like all the publicity that Babe s
contract was given. higgins has a
rrima donna club and he would have
a hard time telling Bob Meusel why his
home run wasn't worth $500 especially
if it won close game.
There is no doubt that Ruth is still
working under the contract that gives
him 5000 for homer, but the club has
denied it and it will go on the record
that Way

GIANT CORD
IS new TIRE
ON MARKET

Every now and then manufacturers
in the automotivc field, through long
research and experiment. perfect
product that is revolutionary in its
form, and that sets rev standard for
the making of like products.
"The latest comer'' is the "Western
Giant Cord' tire, which is being man
ufactured under the name Of the West
ern Auto Supply company.
"In perfecting the ''Wcstern Giant -
the radical departure from the usual
form of construction is made in the de-
sign and construction Of the tread. Tire
manufacturers claim that, while a dur
able and soundly constructed carcass
is the necessary foundation Of good
tire, the tread itself mas in its design
and general construction that which
makes for long mileage, traction, and
freedom from skidding.
In connection with the introduction
of this new tire, Mr.. George Pepper
dine, president of "Western Auto,
said:
"We have been selling tires for a
good many years, and at the same time
studying tires, and when we decided
upon the design and form Of cOnstruc-
ton of Western Giant tires, it was from
our experience and knowledge of what
motorists want and nced in tire.
"'This tire is made with our own
moulds and according to the very best
standards Of construction by two of the
best equipped tire factories in the
United States who are striving to pro-
duce the immense quantity necessary
to supply demand occasioned through
the 40 "Western Auto' stores.
"Thafc are two policies in the man
ufacture and merchandising of any arti-
Gle. One is to figure what people will
pay for 1t and then do til" best for that
price; the other is to build the utmost
of quality, strength and service into the
product and then sell it for the lowest
possible price, conductive with big pro-
duction and economical distribution.
SIN the making and selling of West
ern Giant tires, as in our other mer-
chandise, we are adhcring strictly to
the latter policy concluded Mr.. Pep
perdine.
