LEADERSHIP

Firestone for years has been first to develop tires
and rims complete which would meet the heavy
trucking loads, great strains and demand for trac-
ton. By originating and carrying forward the
Ship by Truck movement, and establishing Ship
by Truck bureaus in all large cities, Firestone
helped to speed up highway transportation and
reduce costs.

Balloon Tire Leadership

Firestones latest contribution to motoring is the
low air pressure or Balloon Tire. This, the
original full-size Balloon, was made practical by
the special Firestone Cum Dipping process, in
sulating every fibre of each cord, adding great
strength and stamina. Firestone has also simpi-
fed the application of full-size Balloon tires to
your present car by designing special unit con-
sistng of tires, tubes, rims and spokes applied by
any dealer at very low cost

FirestOne Leads ON Speedway
with Five Record Breakers

When the race driver selects his tires he does so
realizing that his life and chances for success de-
pend upon them. It is significant that all of the
ten money winners in the Indianapolis race were
Firestone shod. Firestone using gun-dipping
and other special processes has developed tires
to such high degree Of efficiency that at Indian
apolis, May 30th, the following drivers broke the
worlds record for 500 miles over this brick track,
making many rounds at over 100 miles per hour.
Never before were tires put to such gruelling
service, where it was necessary for every ounce
of rubber and every fibre of fabric to work in
nerfect unison with every other part.

An Interpretation of this brief note
shows that the band of Colonel Proc
tors Fourth Continental artillery ap-
parently took 1t upon Itself to serenade
the commander in chief. This old rec
ord brings to light that Valley Forge,
with all that that name means of prlva-
tions and suffering. was the setting
where was staged what was undoubt-
eddy the first recognition in any public
way OF Washington's birthday.
French First to Celebrate.
There is still another record Of those
Revolutionary times which touches us
perhaps most poignantly today. To the
French is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration Of Washington's birth
day. 1t was in February, 1881, that
Comte de Rochambeau, with true
French spirit. declared a holiday for the
French troops who were then located
In Connecticut Washlngton's BIRTH
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration of the birthday of his COM
mander, whom he so highly esteemed.
1t was another of the many evil
dences of the close ties between France
and America which existed in Revo-
lutionary times 1t was on that men,
orable occasion that was first laid the
foundation of our national holiday.

KANSAS JUDGE
ADDRESSES EAGLES
Fraternal Order of Eagles Has En-
joyed Phenomenal Growth; Half
Dozen Organized First
Aerie.

Below is the address in part which
Judge Thomas J. 0'Donnell, of
Kansas City, delivered at the gather
ing of Eagles in Hurley last week
Thursday evening;
Brother Eagles:
The history of the fraternal order
of Eagles extends over the past 20
years. Our first aerie was formed
at Seattle in 1898. Our growth has
been phenomenal. It's membership
now numbers more than half a
million men, and we are growing by
leaps and bounds.
The half dozen men who organized
the first aerie had vision and the
marvel is that that vision has been
more than realized.
The growth Of the fraternal
society is much like the growth of
man, much like the growth Of
nation. 1t has it's birth, then its
struggle for existence; its growth
and expansion, its youth as it were,
after which it reaches its maturity.
This covers roughly the first twenty
five years Of existence; and such has
been the existence of the Eagles;
such marks the first quarter of
century of our life as fraternal
organization.
The past is secure. Our work has
been we'll done. It's foundation has
been as well laid and its corner
stone so well set in the principles of
liberty, truth, justice and equality
that this order must endure while our
republic lasts. These principles
upon which it is founded are the
inspiration of our activities. Our
large membership has been attracted
to the order by these principles and
by helpful service Of our fellow men.
The spirit of this order grips them.
1t attracts them to its membership.
It holds them firmly to its service.
The whole constitutes a mighty force
for good in this country.
There is story told of a young
man living in the eastern part of
Wisconsin, working man who join
ca htib AIhBiNs bWNiiNy yChAo aBps
The spirit of the order so gripped
him that he gave of his time and
strength unusual to its service. He
shortly became an officer of his
aerie. He became associate editor
Of an Eagles magazine published in
Wisconsin He shortly became an
officer Of the state aerie and its
president. Soon business interests
took him to Kansas City. He be-
came an officer Of the grand aerie
and soon became grand worthy
president Upon his retirment from
that office he became chairman of
the organizations department and
the head of the insurance division
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
This brother member is honored all
over this country wherever there are
Eagles and wherever there is an
Eagle aerie. The man of whom |
speak is Conrad H. Mann, one of the
biggest and bravest men in our order.
And now to our subject: The
second quarter of century of our
life we are now entering upon. The
fruits of a well founded organization
must now be reaped. Our member
ship must be increased because in

THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH

lOLD records-what stories they can
~ tell. Sometimes full of romance,
sometimes startling in their disclosures.
| 1t would seem that Washington's
birthday, observed for so many years
on February %, was celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
! facts. Yet buried In the family Bible
of Washington's mother and written in
her own handwriting Is an entry which
| makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
/ statement that George Washington
was born on February II.
/ Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs
| Washington
There 1t Is in black and white in
| her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustlne and Mary, his wife, was
| bore We 1.-THE of February, 1882,
about 10 in the morning, and was
baptised the Sd of April following,
Mr. Beverley Whiting and Capt
Christopher Brooks, godfathers,
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory, god
| mother.
Family Bibles. especially In those
times, were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
lndisputable.
BY the latter part of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year. 1t
seemed important that a readjustment
be made and Pope Gregory XIII, after
| careful consultation with the learned
men of his time, decreed that in 1882
10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar. The mandate Of
the pope was followed that year by
| Spain. Portugal, Italy and France, but
England would have none of 1t and
/ continued on the basis of the old cal
endar for another century and half
Difference of Eleven Days.
BY 1852 In England the discrepancy
had mounted up to II days, and the
| disadvantages of two systems of dates
was causing great annoyance 1t was
necessary ia date letters going from
England or her colonies to France with
the days of both systems; for instance.
February 1922. So at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar and decreed
that IL days be omitted in the year
1852 between September and Septem-
Der IA.
So for Washington, his birthday In
1853 and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there Is another record which
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition of his birthday
This time the record is In his own
handwriting, While commander in
chief of the Continental armies, with
all his other responsibilities and duties.
Washington found time to keep exact
records Of all his expenses, These ex-
pense accounts were several years ago
made available by their transferal
from the Treasury department to the
library of congress where they were
placed with the great collection OF
Washington's papers there.
In one of WaShlngton's daily ex-
pense account books there is an entry,
under date of February -, IT'S, which
reads
Cash paid the 22Hd Inst. to Proc
tors band by the e. o......15s.

greater numbers is greater strength,
and with greater numbers coming
within the influence of the principles
of our order and the service Of our
organization, a better citizenship
will be realized.
A real program is laid out for our
present and future work. The
constitution of our country and its
flag guides US. Our national
liberty and the equality of our
citizens is our first consideration.
At all costs our constitution must be
maintained. 1t is the best charter
of our liberty. Our forefathers
secured our liberty and adopted the
best system of government ever yet
devised; but we recognize eternal
vigilence as the price Of liberty, to
secure for all equal rights to life and
liberty and the fruits Of labor, and
particularly to the fruits Of common
labor as our first concern.
There is a tendency in the affairs
Of men for those who have to get
more than their share of the common
production, and to take from those
who have little. This tendency we
must combat. Social and economic
reforms are constantly before us.
They must be recognized and sup
ported when necessary to justice.
The Eagles are organized to serve
one another, to render aid and
assistance when needed, and to sup
port particularly the common man.
No injustice to anyone however is
within our purpose. We have to
our credit already some important
social reforms.
The Mother Pension Law became a
law in many states mainly through
the efforts of the Eagles Old Age
Pension is now law in states and
in Alaska chiefly through our eff
forts. In Wisconsin last winter an
old age pension bill passed our
Senate and was defeated in the
Assembly by few votes only. Our
organization in support of this bill is
still intact. We think the bill will
pass in our next legislature. 1t will
pass some legislature because our
order never gives up in its fight for
worthy cause in the interests of the
great masses of our men and women.
Our Governor is for it He is a
loyal eagle. He is of the people.
His heart beats right. His sympathies
are broad. When deserving men
and women find themselves in want
in the declining years of life they
should receive some help from the
state they have Loyalty supported.
They should not be hustled off cover
the Hills to the Poor House"

WASHlNGToN's EXPENSE =

Based on the expenses for
three months in 1889, Wash
lngton figured his years out
lay at about $4,000. When
Washington became president
he was unwilling to receive
any money from the public
treasury beyond his actual ex-
penses. AT the time his house
hold included a secretary, an
assistant secretary, three aids
and eighteen servants, while
livery of sixteen horses also
figured into the yearly cost.
