Woman Has No Such Vanity
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

EuA OMEN have long since grown
WI accustomed TO the charge of

time when they walk in youth and
beauty, they may preen themselves
unduly and lay claim to more power
than they POSSESS. But by the time
they have. reached forty. and have
taken on too much flesh and can no
longer boast swan-like throats, they
have usually acquired, enough COM
nonsense to know that they cannot
sway the other sex by beauty alone,
nor do they aspire to human hearts
merely by reason of existing.
Men, on the contrary, seem to
grow in personal vanity as they adj
vance In years.
It is quite pathetic the sights one
sees these days. In every hotel
dining room, in every restaurant. in
every show house in the land
hundreds of men past maturity
gadding about with girls young
enough to be their daughters,
married to. them in great many
instances. Sometimes one recognizes
one OF these men; knows that he
has divorced a wife with whom he
had lived for ten or fifteen years.

The three health board members say their
charges against DR.. King are of an extremely
serious nature. Governor jackson charac-
terizes them as "trivial."
The health board has not transacted any
business to amount to anything for six months.
The people of Indiana would be well
pleased if they could "fre" the board and DR..
King.
Perhaps if clean sweep could be made Of
the entire department something could be done
in the interest of the public.
After all, the board, its secretary and its
employees are supposed to be public servants.
We wonder if any of them have consid-
cred the affairs in that light.

Do the commissioners want the Chamber

BaIIooned Tires

KV1 HllIE Congress gets its gun and trains its
1t telescope on the antipodes in search of
the famous maneating British rubber gouge,
suppose we go hunting bit nearer home May
be we can find the animals twin brother, the
genus gougeus Americans, not on the other
side of the world, and out of range, but within
easy gunshot
Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover
tells us the British rubber gouge forces us to
pay from $40 to $50 more for each set Of light
automobile tires than we should. But does all
this money go to foreignersl Let's figure it
out.
Small-car tires weigh from II to 16 pounds,
we are told, depending on quality. The aver
age would be about IA pounds But this is not
all rubber. Cotton fabric, cords and other ma
terials make up approximately one-quarter Of
the weight The other three-quarters, accord
ing to the bureau of Standards in Mr. Hoover s
own department is "a rubber compound. -
Now this rubber compound, the bureau
states, is only 40 to so per cent crude The
rest is sulphur, zinc oxide gas black and other
chemicals plus reclaimed rubber, the price of
which has not advanced. 1t would appear
therefore, that the whole tire would average
only three-eghths crude rubber Weighing ID
pounds, as estimated, there would be five and
quarter pounds of new rubber in its makeup
Before the rubber gouge began working
rubber sold from 20 to SO cents pound. Of
late it has been above ST. But it is understood
on good authority that the average cost of the
rubber now going into American built tires is
around SO cents. Between SO and SO cent rub
her is boost of 60 cents on the pound.
But small-car tires have been boosted some
$50 to $50 set, Mr. Hoover says, and average
of $25, or 1925 per tire. The 6O-cent boost on
the fve-and- a-quarter pounds of rubber in this
tire would come to only 1913. Granted the
foreign rubber gougers get that, who pockets
the other 49, 10q
It the old story.
The Baltimore Sun tellsus that in May and
June 1924, when crude rubber was low, the
stock of eight big tire manufacturers listed on
the New York Exchange averaged only $15
During the last three months of 1925, when the
price Of crude rubber was high, the same
stocks averaged SAT. They had more than
tripled in value. -Four of the stocks actually
quadrupled between low in 1924 and high in
1925 hs
So much for Wall Street s opinion of low
the British rubber gouge has hurt American
tire manufacturers. AS for Representative
Black Of New York, his idea is that some of
them "should send complimentary balloon
tires to the British colonial office instead of fir
ing couple of congressional popguns at it.
