Confetti Carnival At Union
Hall Draws Big Crowd Dancers

The X. & S. Confetti carnival at
Union hall Saturday evening was one
of the most enjoyable affairs of the
winter dancing season. There was
goodly crowd of dancers present
for the festivities and all seemed to
be having the time of their lives. The
music was furnished by Douglas
Melody Men, and the specialties and
novelties were run off under the eff
ficient direction OF Fred Keith and
Dave Smith.
The dancing party OF Saturday
night was the second Of q series
which will be conducted on the last
night OF the week throughout the
winter season. These dances are
growing in popularity and it is ex-
pected that at the next affair Of the
series on Saturday evening of this
week there will be n rcord crowd on
hand to participate in the carnival
festivities.

INTENSE COLD AND SNOW BLOWN ROADS ,
bAlk LOCAL AMATEUR TROUPE ON Wild
transforming TRIP TO MONMOUTH

two others were turned around. This
was accompanied with ease ana soon
q strange procession headed toward
Winthrop.
First il line was the large cater
pillar tractor, splitting fiope from its
exhaust pipe and creeping slowly
but surely through all drifts. Next
behind appeared the two large
trucks, often with their axles drag
ging. but towed along easily in spite
o fthat fact. Bringing up the rear
was the smaller truck, which was
travelling much Of the way under its
own power but which needed assist
ance in the larger drifts and was
therefore attached behind the others.
The voyage to Winthrop was with
out incident and about 1880 the
strange train of vehicles drew into
the town. After the two large
trucks were replenished with water.
and the engines had been warmed
up. the members of the crews en-
jofed supper and the trucks started
TOR Augusta under their own power.
The smaller truck shortly developed
a serious malady which was evil
dcnced by the fact that the engine
had little power and apparently was
not being fed sufficient gasoline and
It was necessary to tow 1t in.
The remainder Of the trip was
monotonous. more especially because
of the intense cold and the necessity
of taking all hills in low gear. but
the trucks finally arrived in the city.
There liz still. however. the large nve
ton caterpillar tractor TO be repaired
and brought to Augusta.
The finest spirit of helpfulness and
cheerfulness was manifest at all
times, both by the entire troupe on
Saturday night and by the smaller
group on SUNDAY. In spite of the
fact that some of the men were not
clothed for deep snow and intense
cold and several casec OF frost bit
ten ears, noses and fingers were re-
ported. there were no complaints.
Especially was this spirit OF cheer
fulness evident among the feminine
members Of the crowd. and the boys
of the company united in DECLARING
tat the girls were game sports ana
could take pot luck without f1inching
as we'll as any boy they had ever

Hon. Frank G.. harrington
Speaks to HUNTINGTON Club

Senator Frank G.. Harrington is an
eloquent address Sunday evening be.
fore the members of the Huntington
Club of All Souls church spoke of the
examinations" of life. He referred
to the mid-year examinations now be-
ing held at Cony High school. which
many members Of the club attend. and
declared that life is full of these ex-
aminations.
Each situation that develops at home
or in our intercourse with others h in
reality an examination, and much de-
pends upon the way In which we meet
them. The midyear examinations and
the other school work Is just as much
a part of life as the things that occur
later. and should be met in the same
spirit. Mr.. Harrington also urged upon
his audience the necessity Of being as
ISOLATED with the church and Of con-
forming to its ideals in our daily life.

that's thin and flexible, yet as strong as steel.
And, what is all important, it is accurately
balanced.
In high-pressure tires balance has meanta
tire in which both tread and carcass were
SO constructed as to work together and
wear evenly-a tire with no weakest link.
In Balloon Tire it not only means this,
but it means balanced as to weight. A varia-
ton of " lb. in the distribution of weight
in high-pressure tire is not important.
Being pumped up hard, the tire and wheel
act as unit.
But in big, soft, cushion-like tire, such as
Balloon Tire, this matter of even distribu-
ton of weight is of the utmost importance.
A slight variation makes a noticeable diff
ference in the operation Of car.

advanced principles ofdesign, construction,
and balance. WEXFORD is used in the
manufacture of both.
The matter of balance in Balloon Tire
is of the utmost importance. The advantage
of eb-Cord in Balloon and Balloon-Type
Tires is even more pronounced than in
standard high-prcssure tires.
WEXFORD is the strongest, most resilient
most flexible tire fabric ever developed.
1t contains no cross-tie threads. There is
no chafng action when the tire aexes over
ruts and bumps. Each individual cord is sat
urated, impregnated, surrounded and bound
to every other cord by pure rubber latex.

Answering Some Questions That Every Ca1
Owner is Asking About Balloon Tires

The engineers of the United States Rubber
Company have achieved accurate balance in
the us. Balloon Tire.
Accurate balance does away with any ten
dency on the part of the car to gallop OF
'wobble. Cars which are difficult to drive At
high speeds on some Balloon Tires can be
handled with case and safety on Royal Cord
Balloon Tires.
US. Royal Cord Balloon Tires, ike ali
other full Balloon Tires, require change
Of wheels and rims when fitted to cars
equipped with high-pressure tires.
U. S. Royal Cord Balloon-7 7ype Tire
The us. Royal Cord Balloon-T ype Tire
is built to fit existing wheels and rims.
1t fits present wheel equipment perfectly
without interference with Tenders, frame
or brakes.
This tire is slightly smaller in cross-sec.
ton than the Balloon Tire, but gives eHec-
tive balloon cushioning because it IS Of
flexible side-wau construction and, like the
Balloon Tire, is built to run on low air
pressure.
The unusual strength of Web Cord makes
it possible to hold to four-ply Balloon Tire
construction in this smaller cross section
Balloon-Type Tire, thus providing for the
owners of present cars the advantages Of
the Balloon Tire principle.
Its possible and practical for car ovners
to run U. S. Royal Cord Balloon-Type Tires
on rear wheels with regular high pressure
tires on the front. But to get the fill advzo-
cage of these tires, all four wheels should
be fitted with them.

Three Things to
Remember about
Balloon Tires

l. Balloon Tires require change Of
wheels and rims, if you are now using
standard size high-pressure tires.
3. For the man who does not want to
change wheels and rims, the United States
Rubber Company manufactures Balloon
Type tires, built with thin sidewalks for
low imitation, to fit present wheels and
rims. These tires provide approximate
balloon tire performance. Some manu-
facturers call them Balloon Tires.
8. Unquesrionably, aceuratelybaianced
Balloon and Balioon-Type Tires are here
to stay. However, with about fourteen
million cars now in America running on
wheels of customary size, it is believed
that standard high air pressure tires such
as Royal and Usco Cords in regular sizes
will represent the major portion Of tire
sales in 1924.

n TO development in the tire industry
III has awakened SO much interest as
- \ the advent of the Balloon Tire.
The obvious advantages in increased
comfort and decreased wear and tear on
the car that result from riding on tires
pumped up soft instead of almost rock-hard
have appealed to everyone.
But the car owner naturally has some
questions to ask.
He is in danger of being confused.
A dozen tire makers arc bidding for his
business.
There has been good bit of conflicting
talk about Balloon Tires, Balloon Type
Tires, and Semi-Balloon Tires.
But not many clean-cut facts that he
could tie to when he wanted to know what
it was all about.
The U. S. Rubber Company is in posi-.
ton to state the facts.
1t has developed its Balloon Tire pro.
gram carefully. 1t has avoided rushing into
the market. 1t has gone ahead only after
considering its obligations both to car man.
ufacturers and the present owpers of cars.
1t has refused to experiment at the expense
of either. The Balloon Tire principle is
right. 1t is here to stay.
But there is vast difference in the way
the principle is applied-whether it be in
