Never So Popular as Now
The first installment of '.Revela-

1915. At first the story was released
only four times week. lnsistent de-

times as there are days in the working

Yet Revelations of Wife" was
never so popular as it is today. More
newspapers print it and more people
read it than ever before.
How do we account for it?
Adele Garrison is essentially a news

M'CUMBER ON THE TARIFF
oENATOR McCUMBER in i,

IfO0uClng tne tdIlIl Dill III the
senate took occasion to warn the
people that it would not bring
prosperity to the country in itself.
That is unusully frank talk coming
from a republican politician. Ac-
cording to the senator from North
Dakota it is up to the beneficiaries
under the new tariff bill to bring
prosperity to the country by sell
ing their products cheaper than be-
fore so that home consumption of
home products will be stimulated
In making lower prices for their
products the North Dakota senator
warns producers of American prod
ucts that they must not reduce
prices by reducing wages, and he
calls on wage earners to speed up
and give their employers more
labor for their present wages, SO
that the employers will not wish to
cut wages.
All that is very we'll in its way,
but Senator McCunber and every
one else who is informed as to the
demand for higher tariff rates
which is granted in this new tariff
bill knows that the purpose of such
demand is to enable the producers
Of American goods to charge the
American consumer higher prices
for them without fear of foreign
competition. That is what a tariff
is for and that is why American
manufacturers are always clamor-
ing for higher rates, and still higher
rates. It is silly for Senator Nc
Cumber to ask these tariff pro
tected manufacturers to sell them
goods cheaper because competition
has been eliminated for them. They
have no such intent. Rather they
intend to raise rates. They will do
so whenever they can. They will
also reduce wages whenever they
can. They will also make another
dollar in profits whenever they can.
Such is human nature.
The new tariff will most un-
doubtedly raise the cost Of living
by raising prices to the consumer.
In some instances no doubt that is
necessary for the prosperity Of the
country. A good deal of business
has been conducted during the last
year without any profits. More
has been conducted at a very in
sufficient profit. Production and
distribution will not go on indefi-
nitely without a fair margin Of
profit Our objection to the high
tariff theory is that it gives to
many lines of production license
to overcharge the home consumer

stance of what we mean, n1anufac-
turers of patented sewing machines
in this country sell their product
abroad for a great deal less than
they charge the home consumer.
They do so because abroad they
have to compete with the foreign
manufacturer, while at home a very
high tariff keeps the foreign made
sewing machines out. But it is
waste Of space to discuss the tariff.
It has been discussed in newspapers
for fifty years without much effect.
The American people are going to
have a prohibitive tariff again very

goods out of our market and give

ers at higher prices than world
prices, by eliminating world COM

...rORT COUNTS
IN AUTO TRAVEL

If the man who owns and drives an
open touring car, sitting in the shelter
ed spot behind the wheel, could be
transplanted into the back seat and
had to sit there without a tonneau
windshield to turn the wind or a robe
to cover him, he would begin to appre-
ciate the discomfort his friends and
guests are up against when they do
ride in that said back seat.
Even in the summer time, in jne av-
erage section of country here on the
Pacific coast, the people in the back
seat of the touring car can appreciate
some protection from the wind In the
desert the wind may be hot and those
back seat riders in that section will ap-
preeiate the windshields to break the
force of the burning air, but through
the mountain and coast regions there
are few hours in the day when the
wind created in the tonneau by the
rapidly moving car does not become un-
comfortably cool for those who must
occupy that place in the machine.
Car owners can show nice attention
to the comforts of their family and
guests by providing wind deflectors,
and auto robes. In the last few years
there has been a great deal of attention
paid to the manufacture of deflectors
for both the front seat and back seat
positions. Many ear owners prefer the
open model cars for many reasons, but
the deflectors make possible some Of
the comforts of the enclosed models at
little cost. At the Western Auto Sup

BUSINESS BETTER BY
FIRESTONE REPORT

! Business is getting better and at
the same time competition is becom-
ING keener. Retailers need more mer-
ehandise to meet the increasing con
sumer demand but they insist on better
quality, more service and more con-
vincing reasons in placing an order
than ever before. There is going to
be more business but to get it is going
to require more careful thought, better
methods and harder work than has been
given in the past. -
This is a brief composite picture of
the business conditions today and what
is required to take advantage of them
as obtained at one of the largest sales
men s conventions ever held, when all
the statesmen, branch managers and spe-
cial representatives of the Firestone
Tire & Rubber Company and its sub
salaries from all parts of the world
gathered in Akron, Ohio.
These men are in constant contact
with the retail trade and business con-
ditions in all parts of the country call
ing upon $4,000 tire dealers in upwards
of $4,000 cities and towns. They came
direct from their territories to Akron
to report upon conditions and study
the company S products i'll process Of
manufacture.
Each one of the hundreds of sales
men attending the conference spent
hours in the factory with the work
men studying each detail of manu-
facture until it had been mastered.
They were then given a course of study
at an exposition of each of the various
products manufactured by the com
being instructed upon the his
tory and development of the tire in
dustry from the source of the crude
rubber and cotton fabric to the finish
ed article.
As regards conditions there was ar
unanimity of opinion that business had
and would continue to do so.
The West and Northwest reported re- /
of numbering and mining ac-
tivities The rise in prices of farm pro
duets was increasing the demand TO
all manufactured articles in the middle
west, according to the delegation from
that section. The statesmen from the
Southern districts reported a general
revival of buying as a result of the
in the cotton situation.
With hardly an exception the general
tone of the reports was optimistic fol
a steady increase III volume of business.

BEWARE OF COX
ALL YOU SPEEDERS

SANTA ANA, June 3,-Justice
John 5. Cox, known as the terror
of the speeders, and the man who
has jailed fair Bebe Daniels and
sundry other persons for stepping
on it, has added a new penalty
to his list.
Hereafter speeders must memor-
izc a verse, a favorite of Judge
Cox S, before they are allowed to
leave court after paying their fine
Or before they get out of Jail.
The verse is:
Here lies the body of Robert
Gray
Who always took the right of way.
He was right, dead right, as he
sped along
But he's just as dead as if he'd
been dead wrong
The verse is part of Judge Cox's
admonition. He always admonished
speeders-a admonishes them with a
fine or sentence.

given prominent place because they
are so important an accessory and add
so much TO the comfort of motorists.
Deflectors for almost all models of cars
are kept on hand and some very attrac-
tive displays have been made with
them.
Some Of the better type of deflectors
are beautifully made from plate glass
with fine beveled edges, and are made
with nickel plated fittings for install

Great progress has been made III Cal
ifornia during the past few months IN
the protection of state and county
highways from abuse by overloaded
and speeding trucks and from impact
by defective and insufficient rubber
tires.
From March / to May l, commission
inspectors inspected PIT trucks finding
27, or 9% % violating the gross weight
limit of 10000 pounds, Ill, or 40 per
cent, overloaded on a basis OF inch
width of tire, and 80, or IL 2-3 percent,
using too thin rubber tires. Fifty one
convictions were obtained and 104 ov-
erloads adjusted or removed.
The percentages are appreciably less
than those of the previous inspection
period.
Since the California highway com
mission organized its traffic regulation

GOODYEAR HAS MADE
44 MILLION TIRES

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber com
pany at Akron recently completed the
building of it's 44,000,000th tire.
The Goodyear company started i'll
1898 and has had steady growth par
allcling the growth of the automobile
industry. Within the last week pro
duction at Akron was increased to
26,000 tires day, running within 20
percent of the 1920 peak, while the Los
Angeles plant which started production
June IA, 1920, is now producing 5000
tires per day, with plans set for a
production of $500 per day in June.
Recent figures show 10,500,000 au-
tomobiles now operating in the United
States and the heavy demand for tires
for these ears and their continuous
use by their owners is regarded as a
good barometer of improved business
over the country.
A unique use for worn out automO-
bile tires is found in the neighboring
republic of Mexico. The stock carcass
es of the tires, especially the larger
sized truck tires, are in great demand
among the people of the working class
es, who cut them out with a sharp
hhlIe Ill tne shape OF the 1OOt, attacn
leather thongs, and wear them for
,sandles.
Thus you find the Mexican peon
walking across the. sand, leaving be-
hind him the trail of the familiar dia-
mond shape all-weather tread of the
Goodyear tire. So popular have these
shoes become that worn out tires are
in great demand and the making of
these rubber shoes is an established in
dustrv.
