the ancient Celtic or British word
"ynys" or the Gaelic Inch" meaning
an island.
Place names spelled as in the fore.

The barony of Innes has been re-

its name from the fact that a part
of it is an island, formed by two
branches of a stream running through
the big estate. ~

What Mink Value Means.

Every shopper-after-fu knows
that the ones which combine dura-
bility with richness and beauty are
the rarest furs Of all. Yet IL you have
been accustomed to considering the
loveliest furs as too fragile for prac-
ticality-look at mink when you
visit the fur department.
Mink will stand the test for both
handsome appearance and hard serv-
ice; the only question to consider is
whether your pocketbook will stand
the test Of paying for 1t.
This fur is easily recognized by it's
rich brown color, and, in the best
qualities, by it's striped markings in
deeper brown. Like fisher and koiin-
sky, which it resembles, it represents
the finest furs among the weasel fam
lily. The natural love1iness of the
mink color makes it require no dye.
In fact, luster such as that of mink
cannot be impaired by any dye. This
luster is largely due to the "over fur
the extremely glossy surface hairs, in
which mink is rich. The pelts are
dressed to preserve and emphasize the
luster of this "over fur"
In buying mink you should under
stand that there are four definite
grades, dependent upon weight, quail
ity, color and depth of hair. Exam

closeness of texture, remembering 6
that the softer skins are the younger
ones, which are more valuable than
the older skins. Thickness and depth
you can judge easily by blowing into
the pelt. In general, the darker the
color of the fur the more costly it is.
Minks are further classified as
southern, central, eastern and north
ern. Northern skins are probably the
choicest, considering them from all
standpoints, for the skins are we'll
colored, thickly furred and extremely
durable. The northern skins are the
ones most commonly used in this
country.
Eastern skins, too, are remarkably
| fine. They are small in size, and the
fur is exceedingly silky. and OF dark,
rich color. However, they are not
nearly so durable as the northern

HOW 1T STARTED
The "Yule" Log.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

1t is from the early Scandinavians
that we have the "Yule log" un-
christian, too, as any pagan image.
At their festival of the Summer
solstice about June 81, according to
our calendar, it was the custom among
these Northern people to build out in
the open, great fires Of logs. Then, in
imitation of these they started to
build bonfires at the Winter celebra-
tions,. which were held in honor OF
their god, Thor. To these festivities
which, took place in December, they
applied the name "Yuul"
And so, at this time of the year
when nature sleeps beneath the snow
when the harvest has been gathered
and 1t 10 not yet time to sow, when
the days are short and the nights are
long, the logs to which they look for
grateful warmth are still called by
these Northern people by the name
"Yuul," which has been anglicized to
our Yule.

But if the note has not been sent,

Someone has facetiously said thai
a cartoonist, in portraying doughnuts
for automobile wheels in his pictures
was the originator of the low pres
sure or balloon ti1e, the casing which
many see as the third great step in
tire manufacturing; fabrics and then
the cord type'preceding it.
The humorous artist depicted large
section tires truly enough but the
large section is not by any means the
whole story.
Many an automobile owner of his
own volition, has allowed his tires to
be run under-inflated for his personal
comfort explaining in a casual way
that he did not intend to be shaken
to pieces by the air pressures which
the tire companies recommended, and
that he was willing to sacrifice tire
economy if necessary to secure this
greater comfort. He wanted to ride
on low pressure air.
But this newest development the
Balloon tire, is, according to j. E.
Hale, M. S. A. E., manager Of devel-
opment, Firestone Tire & Rubber Co.,
the result of deliberate attempt to
make riding on low pressure air pos
sible.
The fundamentals of this movement
are comparatively simple. If we are
to have greater cushioning for COM
fort and protection against vibrations
of the car, the combination of low air
pressure and large area of contact
must be provided and by employing
such tire constructions that the tire

durability may not be impaired. The
goal aimed at was to increase the
area of construction sufficiently sc
that air pressures ranging from Il
to IS lbs, could be employed in actual
practice.
1t is almost impossible to choose
descriptive phraseology to drive home
the wonderful effect that these tires
have on the riding of the car. The
first reaction to the occupants is the
greater degree of comfort. Road sur
face Irregularities are toned down and
in NEST cases are obliterated.
The question next frequently raised
is how the steering is affected. This
is perfectly natural, because most
drivers have discovered that when
their front tires are soft, there is a
slightly increased resistance in steer
ing From laboratory tests We have
found the area of contact Of Fire
stone Balloon Tires with the road sur
face to be about twice that OF the
high pressure pneumatics, and under
these conditions one can detect a
slight difference in turning the wheel.
On snow and ice the control of the
car with the balloon tires is noticeably
better than with high pressure pneu-
MATES. This is particularly true in
eliminating the tendency to skid side
wise in applying the brakes and MAX
ing corners. In applying the brakes
for quick stop ,one has to be very
cautious lest the wheels become lock-
ed and should this happen, the result
is much the same as with pneumatic
tires.

Thousands Of Skilled Inspectors
Guard Against lmperfection In

One hundred and twenty-five Stude-
baker engineers, metallurgists, chem
lists and mechanics today devote their
time and thought to the development
and tests Of new ideas in motor car
design, construction, operation and e.
quipment.
These men play vital part in the
introduction Of new models, such as
the 1924 Studebakers; in better manu-
featuring methods, and in constantly
guarding the high standards in cur
rent production that have long made
Studebaker leader in big volume
manufacture of high quality, six cyl
inder cars.
The laboratories in which these
men work are designed, constructed
and equipped at great cost to provide
proper facilities for the intricate and
painstaking work that must be
handled.
Many thousands Of dollars have
been spent by Studebaker to equip
these laboratories with the finest test
ing devices, guages and machinery.
Hundreds of these are so finely con-
structed that they detect Imperfect
tons that only the powerful micro
scope would otherwise disclose.
