CHICAGO. Nov. 21--Scientists

scramble to readjust their care
fully built up theories following the
discovery by Prof. A, A. Nicholson
University Of Chicago that light
travels Sc miles slower than the ac-
cepted rate.
To the Iayman whether light
travels 29s.796 kilometers second,
the newly discovered rate. or Sc
miles faster. the previously accept
ed one, is Of slight Importance.
But to men In variety Of scien-
tific branches the slight variation
will have an almost epochal signi
ficance.
In the first place. according to
Chicago professors. painstaking ex.
periments. based upon the Old
figures by astronomers. physicists
and leaders Of other branches Of
science must be cast aside and the
work carried laboriously to con
clusion.
The new accepted Einstein
theory, whose epochal conclusions
were partially based upon the old
speed of light. must be remodeled
to include the new findings.

She was amazed at the other tur-

A peculiar thing. The worst tire
in the world can be made to look
exactly like the best tire in the
world. The gyp manufacturer uses
the poorest grade of rubber: even
reclaimed rubber vulcanized on a
carcass made Of rotten fabric, but
to all outward appearance that tire
appears as would the best tire.
And the ONLY protection the
tire buyer has is the name of the
maker branded in the rubber of the
casing. The name Of the maker
and serial number is the only real
assurance of quality tire.
When you read n sign: "Tires at
Half Standard Prices" BEWARE!
Don't get the feeling that here is a
chance to get first class tire for
half. 1t isn't done by the fellow
who wants to save money. And Just
as surely as you do buy that cheap
tire-just as surely will that tire
blow out when third of half the
mileage is put on it. And then when
you go back to get an adjustment
you find that your dealer has gone
out OF business"
Now I am an expert, supposedly.

that, and the man who buys them

My advice is this: Buy tire with
the makers name and serial number
on it. Pay the top price and you
will get service that will repay you
for the money spent. A good tire
will give minimum of eight thou
