In commenting on the condition of
the Nash and Ajax companies and the

Nash said:
I'VE regard the earning record Of
the initial quarter as very satisfactory
although il is a fact that we were
unable 10 manufacture all the cars for
which we had orders, due 70 changes
made in design and certain physical
rearrangement in the plants.
Reports on retail deliveries Of cars
received during the past three weeks
from our distributor points including
the major cities of the country show
that they were the biggest three weeks
in consecutive order we have ever had
since the company was founded.
At the same. time during these
three weeks used ear sales at these
points were the largest ever achieved
in our history and stocks of used cars
declined 20 per cent, providing addi-
iional proof that consumer buying is
increasing rapidly"

HERE'S WHY AND HOW
OF RUBBER AND TIRE

The word rubber" has it's origin in
the accidental discovery that it woul /
erase pencil marks if rubbed vigorous
ly. While rubber got its name from u
more or less commonplace incident,
the word tire" has a more fancifJl
and interesting derivation.
The word tire" originally meant to
attire and in this sense it is founi
in many of the old Classics and in the
Bible itself. Shakespeare said hay
ing rich tire about you," meaning to
be richly 'attired" or dressed.
Spencer says ''Cn her head she
wore a tire of gold" In this sense
this is probably similar to our present
word tiara meaning circular
adornment for the head. In the Bible
in Second Kings We find another SIM
liar usage. "(Jezebel painted her
face and tired her head" Another
writer uses the word ''tire" as mean
ing engines of warfare, but this form
is obsolete.
Thus it seems, according to Miller
tire men, that general usage in the

MEALS TO REPEAT
DRIVERS SCHOOL

The dual-control Nash, used to
teach proper driving, will be used
again this year by the Jack Neal
Company, in its summer driving
school, it was announced late Satur.

Every control in the car is arranged
so that the instructor can correct any
mistakes his pupil makes in mannef
similar to dual controlled airplanes
used for instruction purposes in the
army.
The driving school will be for wom-

double controlled car will be assem-
bled in the Neal shops, from specially
manufactured parts.
Exact date of the schools opening

past indicates similar meaning to
our present meaning to our present
attire" and so the ''tiring room" of
yesterday becomes the dressing room
of today-the tire woman" becomes
the maid or assistant in the practice
Of dressing.
1t is probably from ''tiara"-the
head dress-that the word sire" is
first taken and used to describe the
band of iron or steel which encircles
a vehicle wheel supporting the spokas
and fellies. Almost every one is ia
miliar with the word in this sense and
for this reason it has come to mean
anything that encircles the circumfer.
ence of wheel and forms a tread
or road contact surface.
With the development of the auto
mobile and the consequent develop
ment of rubber tires the WORD tire"
received new and fresh meaning. To
day the word tire" is SO closely as,
ISOLATED with the automobile that
mention of it conjures no other picture
than that of a rubber tire.

All steel bodies can be painted

Detectives Make Arrests Following
Developments in Death at Inn
Near Bethlehem, Pa.
BY the A sSnciafed prpss


BETHLEHEM. Pa, November 23.-
Detectives investigating the killing OF
Helen Boland of Jacksonville. Fla, at
the White Owl Inn at ButztOwn. near
here, We're inclined last night to be-
lleve the young woman was killed dur
ing a fight at the inn.
The authorities said they were not
satisfied with the story told by some.
of the occupants of the inn that three.
gunmen had forced their way into
the place and shot Miss Boland.
The police also expressed the belief
that there were others in the house
at the time in addition to the eight
arrested. AT least one other man was
thought to have been in the place and
he is believed to have been wounded.
This theory was based on the finding
of blood spots on door leading from
the house and on the ground outside.
Miss Boland was killed Sunday
night. When the police arrived they
found her partly disrObed body lying
across the bed. Evelyn DoIan, who
conducted the inn. said Miss Boland
had gone to her room to- change her
clothing preparatory to going for an
automobile ride and that the three
gunmen had fired fusilladc of shots,
some of which had passed through the
door of the room.
Detectives said last night that the
position of the young wOman'S body
when found would Indicate that it had
been placed there after she had been
shot.
In addition to Evelyn Dolan, those
under arrest are Alma Burns. Jack
