LEADERS,

Frestone 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.

Firestone Leads ON Speedway
with Five Record Breakers

When the driver selects his tires he does so
realizing that his life and chaIres for success de-
pend upon them. 1t is significant that all of the
ten money winners in the indianapolis race were
Firestone shod. Firestone, using gum-dippng
and other special processes, has developed tires
to such high degree Of efficiency that at Indian
apolis, May goth, 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 II was necessary for every ounce
OF rubber and every fibre of fabric to work in
perfect unison with every other part.

Balloon Tire Leadership

Firestone's latest contribution to motoring is the
low air pressure OF Balloon Tire. This, the
original full-size Balloon, was made practical by
the special Firestone Gum Dipping process in
sulating every fibre OF each cord, adding great
strength and stamina. Firestone has also simpli-
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.

Of
Superstitions

By Il. lRDlNG KING

TN SOME sections Of the country
u there Is q common superstition that
# brings good luck to have ones shoes
come united. This IL but another
phase of the ancient belief Of sympa-
thetic magic, that phase which has
to do with the doctrine Of obstruc-
tive knots in connection with other
current superstitions. Tie up knot
and you tie up the man; unloosen the
knot, you free the man. The cave
mems reasoning originating from the
fact that Man, having come to as
sociate in thought those things which
he found by experience to be connect
ed in fact, proceeded TO enormously
invert this action and to conclude that
association in thought must involve
similar connection in reality.
OF this sympathetic magic Professor
Frazer says: Among the ignorant and
superstitious today 1t is very much
: what It was thousands of years ago In
Egypt and India and what 1t Is now
among the lowest savages surviving In
the remotest parts Of the EARTH" The
learned professor would appear to IN
dIcate the ignorant as the class among
whom alone superstition prevails. But
a little observation will show that SUI
perstitiOn is confined to no one class.
but exists. though less cstentatiously,
among the cultivated and high placed;
and he who most loudly boasts Of his
freedom from its trammels Is often
found to be secretly influenced by su.
perstitiOns inherited from the lost
ages. He has his pet superstitiOns
and hides them; perhaps jams them
down into his subconsciOus self and
fiouts them. But they exist and they
are his. and they influence him. The
savage and the peasant. on the other
hand, display their superstitions un,
blushingly. That is the only difference.

stition, "the cOlonel's lady and Julie
