missioned for years to come--that thay
were starting on life service.
Your career Is the sea-" he told
them, but your career is not simply
the sea--for your career In the sea and
public service. We speak of the men oi
the navy as being IN the service.
Those simple little words convey in
themselves volumes. They constitute
a tscit recognition Of the fact that our
navy men are public servants. In EN-.
bracins the naval profession men ded
icate themselves to a life, not of gain
but of service. l know OF no higher

Although Congress has shown indi-

MARKET FLOODED
WITH BAD TIRES

An interesting phenomenon in the
tiie world III the past year has been
the cclerity with which the horde OF
Cnscrupu!ous uis s. makers which flood
the tire markets with flimsy tires as
cut rate prices has taken advansaGc
Of the hign reputation cord tires and
has taken to making so-calicd core:
tires Under new ana strange names
but in which the value is about az
questionable as in their disc1ad!ted
labrlc brands.
On Of the most remarkable and
clear cut achievements Of reputable
makers OF tires in the past decade
has teen the development Of the cora
tire. 1t is beyond question that a
well-constructed cord tire is !; distinct
advance over a fabric tire. Since the
coming OF the high grade cord tire
motoring has taken on an added
pleasure due to the fact thar the ln-
proved type Of tire has made it pos
sible to ride for months and SEASONS
at a time without the slightest tire
trouble.
Taking advantage Of the tact tha.
thea name ''cord' has meant tire of
proved superior quality, men who
nave no regard for the reputation or
the tire industry have gone into the
manufacture of flimsy cord tires AMI
have reaped golden harvest from
people who thought that any tire was
pound to be good tire.
Tne fact Of the matter is that cord
tires must now be bought with az,
much discrimination as any other
tires, for the market is so full Of cord
tires OF uncertain merit that there IS
no guarantee that tire has any
standing merely because it is called
cord.
A FABRIC tise Of standing 1uality san
be bought for aEsut the same price,
and in some cases for less than these
off-color tires, and will give much
better service. While good corr:
tire is better than good fabric tire,
it should not be forgotten that there
are plenty of fabric tires on the mar
ket that will make any but the yer;
best cord tires step lively to prove
their superiority. The art of build
ing good fabric tires has been pro-
crossing along with the art of build
ing good cords and wealth Of sat
istaction may be got out Of set 81
high grade fabric tires A good fab.
ric tire is immeasu-ably better than
a poor cord.
