TOO MANY WARNINGS

Maximum Profit in Volume.
Every industry is primarily inter-
ested in profits: and the history OF
American business has demonstrated
the fact that in volume properly reg.

because the tire industry was over
produced at the beginning OF the
year, and thus unprepAred for the
trade conditions which subsequently
followed. there Is no reason to be-
order to net et' sufficient profits. ''0 ~
Despite the fact that tire prices
are SO per cent below those Of pre-
| war days, the rubber association's
valuation Of tire shipments for 1929
represent an increase Of 5.3 per cent
over that for 1922 and 1917 per cent
| over 1921. This increase could have
been accomplished through the Offer.
ing Of inferior tires. and let US say a
reversion to fabr les.
But no such retrogression was nee
essary.. Volume sales made It posi-
Bile to increase the valuation OF ship
ments while at the same time ofYer.
ing each tire with a longer life.
No Reason for Increase.
II volume sales can do this for the

1t is often said. and 1t Is certainly
reasonable to believe, that without
the cord tire the utomobile would not
be as popular as it today. Freedom
from tire trouble has been q great
stimulus to the sale Of automobiles,
and that. in turn. has been. and will

but the motor business Is on a quan :

The tire manufacturer looks to the
general public for it's sales and not

Replacement Sales Enormous.
This is strikingly demonstrated by
the fact that every time there are
100000 new cars put into service
there follow replacement sales Of &c.

Of the automobile industry in 1924 rests

It's only for this evening. I'm
sure" she said. Henry is almost
certain to be better in the morning. "
Timothy said he hopd so, because
the boss was always fussy about how
his meals were served. having lived
in New York most OF his life.
Sally felt easier in mind when he
reported that the family and the
sheriff were at the table. 1t gave
her a breathing spell. She knew
that Bob was not likely to get up
from the table so long as there was
anything more to be served. Eating,
to him, was a pleasurable job of stok-
ing, as she had learned from plenty
of experience at the BARN.. He was
even slightly vain of his achievements
as a trencherman; Charley had been
entirely right about it. So she kept
Timothy busy between kitchen and
dining room, carrying things that
made him so hungry to look at that
he could scarcely wait for his own
turn.
In fact, he did not wait, for on
one of his trips to the kitchen
Sally observed that he was MUNICH
ing something. He brazenly admit
ted that he had been Switching" a
biscuit or two.
"They look so good. ma'am." ne
said with an apologize smile. And
I'm pretty empty. Besides that. it
gets on your nerves to hear 'em
boosting the food when all you're
supposed to do is carry 1t round"
OF course she could not be angry.
"Who is boosting it?" she said.
1.-The boss and the sheriff are both
doing IT," said Timothy. But you've
got to admit they make good every
thing they say. by the way they LEX
into It..
1t did not surprise her to hear
that Boo Wells was enjoying him
self. What joke 1t was! II he
only knew! 1t was some satisfac-
ton to know that you were doing a

she had counted the dishes.
"Thereu have TO be a reason for
it," she said You'll have to be

the clubhouse and stay there.
And suppose this sheriff comes
in while you're up here alone?"
| "Oh, 1 can take care of myself"
He did not like the idea OF leaving
her to face possible consequences,
but he could see that it might, be
necessary. 1t would take a real rea-
son to avert any possible specula-
tons in the mind of Charley Nc

The Wreck found Timothy in the
shed where they kept the big car.
He was passing the time in grinding
valves. There was a faint look of
alarm in his eyes as he beheld the

ter go up to the kitchen now"
Me wait on the table? I never
did. I don't know how. What for?'
Because I'm sick"
You don't look sick said
J;Jrst OF ri,
a while back
I'm sick" repeated the Wreck
How I look has nothing 10 do with
it. It's nerves. One of my spells is
coming on. 1t was beginning this
afternoon-just beginning, you un
derstand?"
The look that he gave Timothy
bored him like an auger.
Il tried to walk it off, but
couldn't. It's coming on again. Il
gets worse. If I don't get to bee
there's no telling"
Timothy began wiping his hands
on ball of cotton waste.
I'm wait on the table" he sale
gloomily. "Only if 1 don't do II
right they haven't got any license
to bawl me out. You better go gel
into bed right away"
The Wreck went off to the bunk
house, where he stretched himself
on the blankets and tried to get in
terested in an old magazine. He felt
like a man who had retreated under
fire, but he knew there was nothing
else to do What worried him most
was the possibility that Sally might
face crisis alone. If anything hap
pened he wanted to be there.
Sally did not find Timothy par
ticularly deft, although he seemed to
be willing enough, once she had an
apron on him. She instructed him
in some Of the rudiments, and had
him practicing at the kitchen table
with imagiary guests to be served.

remembered when it seemed to
sound very well; but that was before
she had a posse on her trail. She
wondered how far Bob Wells would
really go, If he learned the truth.
She was none too sure.
When Charley McSween came in
she jumped at the sound of his step
and a fork clattered on the floor
That's company" said Charley.
And it happens we've got company,
ma am. The sheriff Of this sovereign
and God-fearin' county has dropped
in to get little mite more informa-
ton about these desperadoes that
he's expectin' to exterminate. I just
eased in to tell you he's stayin' to
supper. Set another plate in the
dinin' room. Henry. He's goin' to
eat with the family"
"One more doesn't make any diff

lightness.

going to raise hell among the

Sally WINGED inwardly. Charley
was putting things in his own words
Of course; but somehow it sounded
strangely as If Bob Wells himself
were talking.

concluded Charley, for he sure ha.

All of this brought a grin to the

Mr. Underwood were sitting out

went to a window that commanded

Yes; we've got to-"
They walked hriskly to the house
praying that the sheriff would stay
somewhere around the front until
they reached the kitchen. Sally did
not breathe comfortably until she
made certain that the kitchen was
empty. The Wreck moved over~to
the pantry door and bolted it.
"Only one door to watch now" he
said.
"Unbolt it, Henry. Suppose he
comes in the other way? I'm going
through that pantry in one
jump, And vice versa, If he comes
in from the pantry. I'm not going

He unbolted the door and Sally
