4O,OOO,OOO TIRES
SOLD in 1928

Speaking of recent developments
IN the tire manufacturing field,
Seneca G.. Lewis, vice presidents gen
eral manager of the Pennsylvania
Rubber Company of America, Inc,
says: @-~2
There is no chance for anyone to
us that as manufacturers of
automobile tires we are associated
with decadent industry. Con-
sentative estimates place the num-
Der of tires to be sold, during 1929
at comfortably in excess of 100000
900, and the rubber industry as q
mately the billion dollar mark in
yearly sales.
Tire making is youngest among
our great manufacturing activities,
with the possible exception ufs mULo.-
cars, necessarily contemporaneous
development. With scores of other
lines, it has suffered on account of
overdevelopment of potential product
i've, facilities, but 1t is safe to say
that no big business has. within the
last two years, reviewed its own past
and discounted it's future in a more
dispassionate or unprecedented man
ner.
"Snce early August we have, while
increasing sales, reduced selling
overhead to the extent of over 20 per-
cent through consolidation of out
side organization and intensified eff
fort, and this is no more than is be-
ing accomplished by those in our in
dustry who by virtue of the quality
Of their product and their treat
ment of the trade may be considered
as representative of a great and
growing industry devoted to eco
nomical transportation for the Ma
ton.
"In connection with standardized
ton of methods tending toward bet
terment, in our estimation nothing
could have been more fortunate than
the selection of w. o. Rutherford as
president of the Rubber Associa ton
of America: AS vice president of the
B. +. Goodrich Company and one who
has risen through all departments of
selling, Mr.. Rutherford has sbeen
equipped by experience for his pres
ent post, ana fortunately he is en-
dowed with the ability to reconcile
conflicting opinion through friendly
leadership"

Tikhon Again Ruling
Church Of Russia

Moscow. Dec. CA. r. by MaiD-
Within six months of his release
from prison pending trial Patriarch
Tikhon, who was deposed and de-
prived of his priesthood by the new
church authorities, has so far sue
ceeded in regaining control of the
church that the clergymcn who I'M
frocked him are now making every
effort to effect Il compromise with
him.
'ine new Holy Synod has called an
All Russian Church Council for Jan
Cary 18th and has invited Tikhon to
appear before it. Archbishop
Evdollim, head of the Synod, admit
ted in a conversation with the cor
respondent that the conference may
never be held if tikhon declines to
attend. The new church group in
slsts that it was legally and canonic-
ally correct in deposing and unfrock-
ing the patriarch and contends that
sooner or later the Soviet govern
ment will bring the patriarch to trial.
If the church council does meet, it
is expected to reveal dozens of petty
differences and several bitter feuds
that have developed within the var
ious new church movements during
the past year. One group wishes to
unfrock Antonin, the Archbishop of
Moscow and Head of the Church of
the Regeneration movement. An
other group is said to be very
anxious to attack Archbishop Veden-
sky, the fiery orator who sWayed the
previous church council in its denun-
citation of Tikhon.

Japs Spend More
Money Each Year

Toxic, Nov. "a CA. P. by MaiD-
Junnosuke Inouye, minister of fl
nance, who was governor of the
Bank of Japan until he joined the
4amamoto cabinet and as such made
a close study of japanese finances,
gave some interesting figures on the
increase of the empires expenditures
in a recent address before the con-
fereDce of prefectural governors.
Compared with the budget for
1872" he said, "the budget for 1922
showed an increase of two and one
half times. the figures for 1922 being
1.501 100000 yen (about $3.50, ,OOO)
against 593.000,000 yen for 1912.
More remarkable was the increase of
expenditure involved in local ad-
ministration, which reached over
1.l76.O0O.000 yen for 1922. an increase
of nearly three and a half times over
1912.

Germany Alarmed
Population Growing
But Skilled Leave

Berlin, Dec. l CA. =. by Maill-
What Is to become of GerInany's sur
plus population of 2O,O00,O00? The
question is looming UP as a serious
one in view of the fact that the birth
rate is rapidly approximating the
pre-war figures and the annual emf
grafton is relatively small.
Russia Is held up to the Ger
man public as land that may
eventually absorb $4,000, 900 Ger
mans. but there is slight movement
toward that country because of
present conditions under Soviet rule
South American countries also are
mentioned by the German press as
suitable for future homes for Ger
mans, but the United States is the
only country to which the Germans
epear to be anxious to emisrate.
The indications are that the ap-
plicants for admission to the United
States will greatly exceed the quota
of $4,000 this year. The over
population is mostly in the industrial
centers.
There is an endless chain of young
mechanics who manage to get enough
funds together to make their way to
the United States and send money
back to their brothers and friends
who join them on the other side
These are mostly men without
families.
So Germany is losing many of the
men who might be most helpful in
bringing her industries back into
ordered state. The younger men tire
of the hopeless snarl of domestic
politics. the clash of party inter-
ests and the endless wrangling of
labor and political organizations.
But 1t is the rare workman who
manages to collect enough funds to
emigrate.
Germany's labor population, en-
ployed in industries of all sorts. in
Guiding shipping, is estimated at
about 25.00O,000. The actual number
of organized laborers is 100000
and it is largely from laborers of
this class that the emigration comes.
For the first six months of this
year the emigration from Germany
.totalled about 41,O00, which was
about four times as much as that of
the CORRESPONDING months of 1922, and
almost three times that of the last
six months of 1922
Emigration at the present rate.
however, offers no solution for the
problem of over population which
Germany faces. a problem which is
made more acute by the refugees
from Russia and other European
countries who have overrun the re-
public.

Better Health Marks
Each Year of Our Race
Says Prof. of Anatomy

Berkeley, Cal, Dec. 24-(By A. P)
Our race is becoming better physl-
cally with every passing year, in the
opinion of DR.. o. r: Moody. associate
professor of anatomy at the Univer-
sity Of California.
Physical disabilities are becoming
less numerous and less dangerous,
said DR.. Moody. "Deformities are be-
ing studied and their causes found
and uprooted by improvement in the
modern scientific methods Of pre-
ventive medicine.
"People are beginning to be more
inclined to pay doctor to keep them
well than to wait until they are III
and pay twice as much to be made
well"
In the popularity Of muscular exer-
tons on the Fairgrounds DR.. Moody
sees evidence of a more hardy gen.
GRAFTON.
Compulsory physical education;
baby clinics. child welfare work ana
adult swell clinics" he points to- as
promoting a better race. and he be-
lieves there is no evidence of race de-
tericration in any physical form.

Personnel of N. Y.
Boxing Commission
to Change i'm Jan.

New York, Dec. PA new years
shake-up in>the organization of the
New York state athletic commission,
boxing control body, was forecast to-
day when it became known definitely
that William Muldoon, chairman of the
commission for the past two years, will
retire from Office at the expiration of
his term on January 1.
Muldoon, 70-year-old proprietor of a
health resort at Purchase, n. Y, and
former wrestler of renown, today adj
mitted that he would not be a candi-
datc for reappointment.
Besides Muldoon, two other officials
OF the commission are slated to reIin-
quish their posts. 1t was said author
ltatively. One Is Frank Dwyer of &C.
neva, who with Muldoon and Frank
Il. Brewer of Brooklyn composed the
actual commission. The other Is John
Vanderbusch of Schenectady, a deputy
commissioner.
Inquiry at the executive Offices of
Albany today developed the informa-
ton that Governor Smith had not yet
considered successors to Muidoon or
other ofhcers' but it was reported that
Brewer and Edward Curry of New
York were leading candidates for the
Craftsmanship of the commission. One
report was that Brewer would head
the reorganized body and that Curry
would replace Dwyer.
Mul9oon has had a stormy career as
head Ct the commission. His so-called
edicts. when he dominated the ring
game, often drew the fire of CRITICS
who accused him Of ovef-stepping his
authority. Among these decisions, one
barring a proposed Jack Dempsey
Harry Wills heavyweight champion
ship match. and another about a year
ago prohibiting Dempsey from engag-
ing in any title contests here, were
prominent.
Muldoon also figured in depriving
several worlds champions of title rec
ognition in this state at various times
for failure to accept challenges. They
included Johnny Kilbane. former feath-
erweight champion; Johnny Wilson,
former middleweight titleholder; Joe
Lynch. bantamweight king; and Mickey
Walker. welterweight titleholder. the
latter two still being under official ban.
