their pledge of support which was
evidenced by the number of sheets

the same or render valuable assis-

LESS TIRE AIR
GIVES. COMFORT
DaytD Cords Built for Easy
Riding by Under-Iniation,
Report.

Tire engineers lave recognized for
years that If the carcass Of a tire
could be built 10 that it would over.
come the weaknesses of rim cut. tread
separation, n bulging when under
inflated, hat such a tire would prove
revolutionary in the humble OF miles
of service which 1t could be expected
to deliver.
This is true because It enables q
tire to y.e'd to roa distractions. Il
protects the treah from chipping and
cutting and results IN thousands OF
additional miles of service.
Practically all tires during the past
ten years have been sold with a more
or less provis onal guarantee, depend
ing largely upon the maintenance OF a
h gh air pressure to protect the car
cass from deterioration.
Therefore. the announcement of the
Dayton Thorobred Cords were built 10
deliver their maximum service when
under inflated comes as n revolution.
airy departure in tire construction. 1t
is In direct opposition to al the warn.
lngs of tire makers that a tire had to
be highly inflated II the owner were
to expect long service.
A great step in the comfort and ser
vice which may be secured from the
use Of automobiles is made by this an.
nouncement.

DETROIT. Mich. May 26.-Look.

Of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car com

prosperity In this country within the
next few years with the fullest OF

prosperity is due fundamentally TO
two things:
Sound conditions in our country.
A falling off in world competition,

revolution in Europe.
That conditions here are sound Is
beyond argument in the opinion Of
Mr.. Jewett. lie states that the aver

in the 1920 business collapse. when
either the man or his friend was
caught with an unbalanced inventory
when money frightened up and the
denation process took place.
Mr.. Jowett then turned to world
competition, lack OF which he believes

States an unprecedented opportunity,
Present day expansion indicates that
business is grasping It, in his mind.

facturer. Germany, France and

Of forty-eight hours, such as hap
pened last week Up to Wednes-
day every indication pointed to a
good flow of sap from sugar bush
es, but within a few hours the carpet
of snow necessary for an abundant
flow of liquid was taken away by
summer weather in one full sweep.
Conditions might have been good
without snow had the nights been
cold and the days warm-a combina-

while the days are warm, the nights
are hkewise--and Mr. Man with his

himself purely out of luck for this
year at least.
As a result, maple syrup for
