Warranty Gives
Fair Dealing to
Tire Purchaser

Motorists are vitality interested in
the operation of the Manufacturers
STANDARD Warranty which has now
been adopted by ninety-foun lead
ing tire manufacturers, representing
more than 80 per cent of the total
tire production. Responsible manu-
facturers of good tires want every
customer to receive full return
on each tire. The warranty insures
against any reasonable loss OF serv-
ice which might fall within the
manufacturers control due to work
manship and material.
The real object of the Manufac-
turers' Standard Warranty is to re-
vive absolute fairness throughout
tire requirements as whole
Through the warranty It is expected
that all tire users will come into
the careful class, with the excep-
ton of those who are willing to
pay for abuse. Every customer now
pays his own way.
The warranty is uniformly as just
to the customer who uses his tires
carefully as to the customer who
falls to care for them. At first II
seemed logical to judge tire by the
miles it had run. But after con-
sidering the effects that operating
conditions have for and against
mileage, tire men 60 one step
farther and gauge the tires per-
Torrance by the service that has
been taken out of it.
A tire has a given amount OF
strength. When used up the tire
Is worn out. This strength cannon
be gagged by the wear or mileage
a tread alone shows, but must be
judged by general appearance and
condition of the tire as a whole
This gives the advantage to those
who deserve II.

The winter Is over. The public

of all kind have been depleted and
requirements are beginning to make
their demands. The world situation
Is improving. slowly but surely. and
people are getting their attention
turned back to the business of liv-

and more cognizant of the terrific
waste of lives, wealth and materials
brought about by the war. So far

set for the future. confident of the
outcome. We have no fears of 1922
because those of us who are set,
have no fears of ourselves. Nineteen

currency, just as domestic bank bal
ances are sometimes settled by clear

monetized, the cost of its transporta-
tion forth and back over the oceans

2. Over-Issue: If the issue of paper
money is confined to legitimate, that Is,
constructive purposes, there can be no
danger of an over issue, because it is
paid out for material, labor or other
services, and as the volume is based
upon the estimated cost of work to be
performed, il logically follows that, as
the performance of the work depends
on the number of hands avail able, so
the issue of currency is limited accord
ingly; but is, nevertheless, always ade-
quate.
Constructive Taxation Bar to Imitation.
SO, Depreciation: For each issue of
money corresponding tax is levied,
which is paid periodically, and, when
the last installment is returned, the is
sue may be said to have been with
drawn from circulation. 1t has served
the purposes for which 1t was issued
and Is returned to its source, having
completed the circuit Of exchange;
while other issues for other purposes
continue to circulate until their specific
objects have been attained and their
usefulness ended. The tax levy thus
becomes the controller Of the currency
and imitation is prevented; unless
money is issued for destructive pur-
poses, as war, which is avoidable; and
speculation, in which governments
would have no incentive to indulge.

The death rate in the United States
decreased to 1906 per 100000 popula-
ton N 1920 from 1,496 per 100000 in
1910, according to figures announced by
the census bureau. All age groups
showed a decline in death rate but the
most pronounced decrease was record

Of about 26 per cent. The rate for the

proximately per cent. while that for
the IS to rs age group decreased from
2.5S1 to 1850 per 100000, or about II

The decrease in all adult groups was

is said domestic consumption has
returned almost to normal and there is
a certainty that the period of economic
depression is approaching an end.
Every manufacturer and business man
is receiving evidence that the worst is
over, according to the council.
"But purely domestic consumption
cannot take care of the full produc-
tion of American industry" the coun-
Gil says. There is but one way to
put our idle manufacturing plants, our
idle ships and our unemployed to work,
and that is by the expansion of our for
eign markets. Our plants, because Of
the abnormal demands due to the
World War, have been equipped and
keyed up for this high production. Our
idle factories represent the surplus in
dustrial capacity of the nation. Experts
agree that permanent prosperity for
America is dependent upon a healthy
growth of our foreign trade, and that
expansion of our export business is
necessary to absorb the 20 per cent diff
ference between domestic production
and domestic consumption"
The council is expected to insist upon
provisions in all future foreign loans
hoated in this country that all or a
large part of the proceeds must be
spent here for American goods, so that
domestic enterprises will get the bene-
fit of credit extended to other nations.
This will be linked with measures to
find employment for the large gold sur
plus accumulated here as a result of
the war conditions
