WHAT WOHEN WANT

Addressing an audience of club women w
Bigeow, editor of Good Housekeeping, tells them:
Il have felt your power when YOU got be-
hind something in which you were all interest
ed. At such times have doubted whether any
thing could stop American womanhood on the
march. At other times have wondered whether
anything in the world had more inertia than
this same body when its heart not touched.
You women get anything you want, II
you really want it. You wanted to vote and you
got it, although you are letting yourselves be
fooled into thinking you made mistake.
You wanted maternity act and you got
it. You did not want the child labor amend
ment, and you did not get it, and you won't get
it, now or ever, unless you decide the protection
of child life is more precious than anything else
in the world.
Il am mot sure that you want federal

it. because we need it and it waits on YOU
True it is that women get what they want, Whel
they make their wants known. Ask any husband o
father. Or any politician. They might even get tn
prohibition they used to they wanted If they agree
about that and made their desire clearly known t
lawmakers and executives.

Keep Air In
Balloon Tires
Advises Du Sold

The constant maintenance of the
correct initiation pressure is far more
important in the ease of balloon tires
than they were in the ease of the
regulation high pressure tries,' is
the advice of C. II. DuSold, dealer
in United States tires.
y tire that required go podnds
pressure and lost five pounds of air
lost only a Attle more than per
cent of its pressure, but tire that
requires only 80 pounds has lost
more than 16 per cent when it has
lost five pounds of air.
1t is Il well known fact that all
tires slowly lose pressure on account
of the seepage of air through the
valve or through microscopic pores
in the wall o fthe inner tube. 1t
is very evident, therefore, that it is
necessary not only to initiate to the
required pressure, but that it is ne
ceSsary to keep them up to the prop
cr pressure. Pressures should be
tested aud corrected at least once IL
week, and this applies to the spare
tire as well as To the tires on the
wheels.
"The damage to which balloon
tires are subject when run under
inflated is likely to be greater and
to cause break down more quickly
than i'll an underflated high pres
sure tire. One of the most common
forms of injury is rim bruising,'
caused by a tire DETECTING to such
Il degree under the force of blow
that its sides are cut down over
the rim flanges.
The greater the weight Il ear
carries, the higher should be the in
tHtion pressure. If ear is going
to be heavily loaded the pressure
in the tires should be increased. y

"MICHAEL STROGOFF," the Uni
versal-Film de France super pro-
duction. made by the French Societe
des Cineromans from the famous
novel and play by Jules Verne, has
been hailed as the most interesting
picture ever made under French aus

The French premiere of the big
production was held June 30 in the
Empire Theater, Paris. when more
than 5000 persons crowded the Ave

the film. Police cordons were neces-
sary. Since that date the French press
has been filled with praise of the film.
It's American premiere at the Rialto
