NOVEL CONTEST.
For Naming the Michelin Tire Man


Messrs. Goode Brothers, the local
Micheiin Tire dealers are very en-
thusiastic these days over the nation
wide contest now being conducted by
the Michelin Tire Company offering
100000 in cash and sixty-fve other
prizes for securing a suitable name
TOR the interesting tire man which
has been feature of Michelin adver-
tislng for many years, and whose an
tics have amused countless thous-
ands Of people.
1t seems this tire man already has
name, but the Michelin Company
feels the name is not exactly suitable
because it il not a name easily un-
derstood or remembered, in short the
Michelin Man is known as Bibendum,
but while Bibendum is a good name
IN some countries, it is hardly suit
able for American use.
The rules covering the present
contest are very simple. All the con-
testant has to do is of course first
find a suitable name for the tire man
and an appropriate slogan or phrase
of not more than ten words! This
sounds simple, but it isn't. No won
der the Michelin Company is willing
to pay 100000 in cash for a good
name for the famous tire man. New
ertheless the company feels that a
good name exists, and is willing to
pay this considerable sum to secure
it. After selecting a name and
phrase the contestant simply mails
them to the Michelin factory at Mill
town, New Jersey, sometime between
March LIST and March 25th. The
contest closes on March 25th and
names sent in after that date will not
be considered.
OF course the would-be contestant
should first learn all he can about
Michelin Man before he starts cud-
Ceiling his brains for a name and
phrase. To help him the company
has provided dealers with circulars
telling all about the House Of
Michelin.

LOOK AFTER AMERICAN
INTEREST FIRST.

The following letter has been sent
to all local Camps of the Patriotic
Order Sons of America in West Viz
ginia:
Thare never has been, in the his
tory Of the United states, such =
campaign of PROSECUTING by foreign
lecturers, foreign writers, foreign
Officials and foreign-language news
spapers as is now being waged.
The American people are being
told unless they consent to Europe's
repudiating S11, 600, 100000 of mon
ey borrowed from US in good faith
that Europe will be ruined.
They are being told unless the
United States makes additional loans
of billions to Europe, Europe will be
ruined.
They are being told that unless we
consent to lowering our tariff duties
and to the admission of a flood of
Icheaply-made manufactured products
from Europe, that Europe will be
ruined.
They are being told that unless we
go back to the days of unrestricted
immigration and permit hundreds of
thousands of all classes of people to
flood this country that Europe will
| be ruined.
They are being told that unless the
United States consents to become a
party to Europe economic alliances
that Europe will be ruined.
They are being told that unless the
United States agrees to enter into
! RI Of 81
participate in all the European en-
broglios, that Europe will be ruined.
1t is futile to urge that this for
eign propaganda be stopped. That
can not be and will not be. But the
growth of it and insistence of it
should arouse all Americans to the
necessity of looking after American
interests first and remaining free
from all foreign entanglements.
There never has been a time in the
history of the United States when
there was greater need for the
preachment and practice of 100 per
cent Americanism, the setting and
keeping our own house in order, the
protection of our own industries and
laboring classes, the sane conduct of
our own finances, the protection of
our own markets and the safeguard
ing of our institutions than at pres
ent.
The very fact that this country is
being made the object of so virulent
and vehement propaganda by so
many and so antagonistic European
interests should convince the people
of this country that it is necessary
for the perpetuity Of this republic to
remain as free from European
quarrels and intrigues as possible.
This is not, in the ultimate, self
ish viewpoint. Quite the contrary.
America can never help Europe by
becoming a partisan in European
quarrels, or by becoming identified
with European or economic alliances.
Americas ability to help Europe, or
any other stricken section of the
Iglobe, in event there is real need for
, outside help, depends upon America s
retaining the virility of her citizen
ship and institutions, the integrity of
her nationalism and the control of
her own markets and resources.

\ SURE FOUNDATION.

Win the four-power treaty be rati-
fed by the Senate? The authorities
say Yes Should the Democratic
members vote for its passage?
1ammany authorities say mo"
Not in the spirit of petaliation but
upon the broad ground, that it Is .
thing entirely inadequate. That it
10 not remedy to meet the situa-
world. Nothing that was done by
the Arms Conference, but what was
urged by Mr.. Wilson, only he urged
to q greater extent.
No one wants his best suit of
clothes stolen. They even tried to
strip Article 10, the protector of the
worlds democracy and the heart of
the Covenant of its magnificent
robes, and place them on Article 2
of the four-power pact, but its
nakedness is too apparent and its
vulgarity too conspicuous to the eyes
of progressive and decent
democracy.
In addition to this, it is purely a
party matter. President Harding
proclaimed it as such, and if success
full will be proclaimed as a party a.
chievement. That the present admin
istration has not passed one act of
constructive legislation and why
should Democratic Senators be will
ing to pull their chestnuts out of the
fire.
Opponents of the Covenant tell US
that America first is good patriotism
but it is Prussian patriotism. They
also tell US that looking after ones
self only is a good law. 1t is, but it
is the law of the Jungle and the W.
Va. Coal Mines. True, they are still
stoning the prophets, but it is also
true that the column is moving for
ward, Woodrow Wilson in the lead,
with his face toward the sunrise and
his eyes upon the hills.
1t however, is not my intention to
go into Mysteries over any man, only
to express a wish that our County
may reach its quote, and if all the
precincts do as well as Tammany, we
will get the money. Our Managers,
Miss Lucas and Mr.. Shut and Mr..
Knott are building on sure founda-
tion-more power to them.

The church and the pulpit are e1-

the Louisville CourierJournal. And
that Is a very important side, more
important now than ever, considering
the rapid advance Of materlalism.
After talking dollars and cents all

SUIT COSTS 10 CENTS

BY United Press.
HoNoLULU. May 29.-It costs 10 cents
in a court fine TO walk the streets Oi
Honolulu in a bathing suit.
This is the sum settled upon by Judge
]. B. Lightfoot as fine for violators
of the Desha bathing suit Law, which
forbids bathers going from their homes
to the beach at Waikiki without wear
ing a suitable outer garment"
Judge Lightfoot declared the law alb
surd, and the city prosecutor agreed with
with him. But as the law must be up
held. fine of 10 cents, with court costs
remitted, was decided upon for the men
with handsome figures and the women
with shapely forms, who parade to the
beach in one-piece suits, sans overcoats,
bathrobs or kimona.
1T looks fax worse to see a man re-
moving his trousers in the presence Of
Sunday crowds at the beach than it
does to see him walk few blocks in
his bathing suit" declared the judge.
