BETTER TIRES

Veteran automobilists know how
the old fabric tires used to fall to
pieces. Then came the boon of cord
tires. Manufacturers have been trou-
bled because these tires frequently
come out of the molds under-cured
or over-cured, the two chief causes
for tire destruction. The Patent
Office at Washington has received
advices of new process in curing
tires known as the water-bag cure,
which has been adopted by the Sic
berling Company. 1t is a revolur
tionary change in the method OF
vulcanizing tires, and of course it
guarantees a better tire than has
been produced in the past. The new
tire contains 25 per cent more cot
ton and 20 per cent more rubber
than the old tires. 1t is cured by in
serting into each tire a thin, fiex-
ible water-bag, filled with hot wa
ter under pressure so that the tire
is fully and properly inflated against
the mold. This method avoids the
former unscientific processes of cur
ing by dry, scorching steam applied
from the outside. Heat for the wa
ter-bag is turned on from the out
side so that it radiates simultane-
ously through both of the inside
and outside of the tire. The process
of vulcanizing and the turning out
of a uniform tire is simplified and
improved by the new method.

"THE TRAVELLING CAMPUS"

How the campus mountain has ac-
tually come to the graduate Moham-
ct, resulting in another miracle OF
the movies, is told in the Amateur
Movie Makers, the official magazine
of the Amateur Cinema League. A
survey of the use and value of mo-
ton pictures in schools and colleges
has been made by Herbert L. Con-
nelly, alumni secretary of Wesleyan
University, and an interesting arti-
Gle entitled "The Travelling Campus"
tells the story. From the study it is
shown that American Universities
have definitely turned to the movies
as an effective means of securing fl
nancial support, furthering expan-
sion of programs, holding the inter-
est of alumni, and attracting new
students and creating general inter-
est in these institutions. Seventy
seven great American schools have
undertaken to advertise their ad-
vantages or aid in the promotion of
various plans by the use of the mo-
ton picture. Upward of 10000 feet
of collegiate motion picture film is
already in constant use, large part
of this film having been produced on
an amateur basis with amateur
equipment. Sixteen universities have
produced complete scenarios, and
many others have filmed athletic
events, campus scenes, alumni reun-
ions and various special events.
Thus, according to the report of
the survey the public is enabled to
turn to the films and secure up-to-
the-minute views of venerable
buildings, ancient oaks and syca-
mores, and "first-hand, or at least
first-eye, information about the col
leges." Those persons who find
fault because some movies" are not
very ennobling will be gratified to
learn the real achievements of mo-
ton pictures which this survey
shows are being secured in behalf
of our great educational institutions.

ten times to one when he can give
assent, he has been able to increase
his friendships from day to day. Mr..
Sanders is indeed worth knowing.
Edward T. Clark, who ranks as
confidential secretary to the Presi-
dent, is a genuine tenderfoot as far
as Western experiences go, but hSs
rounded the herd in Washington for
many years. Born in Massachusetts,
he is also the son of a minister, a
graduate of Amherst, was a practic-
ing attorney and then became asso-
ciated with the late Senator Lodge
as secretary. After years of brill
liant service with Senator Lodge, he
resigned, entered private business,
and then when Mr.. Coolidge was
elected President, left private bust
ness to become his secretary. He has
been with him ever since. Clark is
affable, likeable, has an exceedingly
energetic brain, and an almost un-
canny judgment in the sensing of po-
litical conditions.
Major James F. Coupal, also with
the party, is medical officer in the
regular army and physician to the
President. Coupal is a product of the
National Guard, having taken up his
first enlistment in state organiza-
ton. A real citizen soldier at time
when military service was full of
hard work, but had little glamor at
tached, he gave of his scanty leisure
time to the growing National Guard
work. With his command he went to
Texas and from there he went over
seas. His record abroad is one of
the most brilliant, for Jim" Coupal
was always a front line officer and
his bravery under fire was only riv-
allied by the skill with which lie
conducted his medical work. He is
president of the Yankee Division
Club of Washington, and when Il
hard boiled outfit of combat troops
not only accepts but selects a medi-
cal officer for its commander, no ad-
ditional words of praise are needed.

COOPERATION REPLACES
COMPETITION

In recent address, Haley Fiskei
President of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company, said he saw in
creasing signs of better understand
ing between employer and employee
There is much evidence that busi-
ness men are regarding the human
element in labor relationships; while
on the other hand, trade unions are
recognizing that peace and prosper
ity can be promoted by understand
ing, cooperation and recognition of
common interest in industry.
Anybody" he said, who has
watched the recent trend of pro-
nouncements from labor organiZa-
tions, must have recognized an en-
tirely new attitude which labor is
taking toward employers. There is
every evidence that organized labor
is recognizing the responsibilities of
capital and the representative of
capital. AS a matter of fact, the
working people not only are becom-
ing capitalists through savings, in
vestments and life insurance, but
they are forming corporations with
large capital; they are organizing
banks, trust companies, building as
sociations, housing apartments, and,
in New York, have formed large
life insurance company which is go
ing to do old line life insurance on
scientific principles, with adequate
reserves and ample capital. Busi-
ness men should sympathize with
this new attitude of labor, and
should lend a helping hand and seek
cooperation.
rs there not visible a new state
of mind and a new vision which
might perhaps be briefly expressed
as cooperation rather than compe-
tition in the relationship between
employer and Employer"

PROTECTING ROSES

The American Rose Society re-
Gently held its annual gathering and
prizes were awarded for the most
beautiful specimens in roses. While
roses delight the millions yet their
growth calls for careful attention if
the best results are to be obtained.
The American Rose Society has in
dicated that it is concerned about a
warning issued by prominent rose
growers and plant pathologists which
said that "brown canker," rose dis
ease, is rapidly spreading in widely
separated sections of the United
States and Canada The statement by
the Society, says "the presence of
brown canker is indicated by BRAN
ches dying back after the growth
has started and, unless an energetic
fight is waged, it may kill the
nlants. 1t may be that brown canker
is what has long been called die
back appearing in virulent form.
However loss can be prevented if
the proper treatment is used"
Among the means of control which
this Society has recommended to its
450O members is the use of the new
chemical mercury compound that is
nroving such savior in insect and
nlant diseases. 1t should be alter
mated weekly with a mixture of sui
nbur and arsenate of lead. This
treatment will also prevent mildew
and black spot.

COVERED RRInGES

Covered bridges are taking their
places among the relics of our mod
ern scenery because this method of
constructing bridges has been out
lawed by engineers and contractors.
Most of the old covered bridges have
fallen apart and disappeared from
the landscape. Those that remain
are being blown up with dynamite
in order that they may be replaced
by steel and concrete structures.
The United States Army Engineers
have received a report of the pass
ing of the famous old covered bridge
across the Chattahoochie River at
Fort Gaines, Georgia. The woodwork
was taken down by contractors, but
a troublesome problem arose when
preparations were made to raze the
massive brick as the engineers dl-
rected that they be thrown in GER
tain definite direction so that there
would be no obstruction of the river
channel. Road builders and bridge
builders, as we'll as those interested
in navigation, have followed the en-
gineering proposition with interest.
The piers on the ChattahOochie Riv-
er measured IA by 26 feet at the
base, and they were rs feet high. A
dynamite expert supervised the driv-
ing of what is known as gopher
holes" approximately half way
through the base of each pier. This
work had to be done by hand. Then
a single hole was drilled in each
corner and also into the two sup
porting centers, and the explosive
charges were placed and primed
with electric blasting caps. When
the shots were fired the big struc-
ture collapsed upon its base in such
a way that practically no debris was
thrown into the river channel.

appraise the value of the men who
made the West.
While President Coolidge properly
and naturally is the head and center
of the delegation which has Journey
ed to the Black Hills, there are per-
sonalities in the party worthy Of the
attention and consideration of the
good people in that country. The
first point of contact which those
who desire to see the President will
have to establish will be with Ever
EFT Sanders of Terre Haute, Indiana,
the Secretary to the President.
Everett Sanders, without any
question, is one of the most likeable
and most effective secretaries W hich
any chief executive has ever had.
Born near Coalment, Ind. in 1882,
the son of the Rev. James Sanders
and Melissa E. Sanders. A self-made
man, he made his educational way
by part time working, teaching
school. Then to the Indiana normal
school, and to Indiana University,
where he graduated in 1907. He was
elected to Congress, served In the
65th, Goth, 9th, 68th Congresses and
then retired without seeking re-elec-
ton to become Secretary to the
President. Everett Sanders during
the 1924 campaign did magnificent
work as chairman of the Republican
National Committees speakers Dur
eau located at Chicago. 1t is FRANKLY
admitted that what he did and the
skill with which he did it, was a
very considerable factor in the cleo
tion of President Coolidge. Mr.. San
ders (an dthis is what the good peo-
pie of the western country who come
IN contact with him will discover for
themselves is so big that he needs
no official trappings to emphasize his
ability. AS Secretary to the Presi-
dent, a position which without any
doubt is one of the most trying in
the entire country, if not in the
world, where one is obliged to refuse
Milford chronicle., 1927-06-24

One of the real advantages of the
agricultural agitation is that the
country as a whole has better un-
derstanding of conditions than ever
before. People in the East and the
near West have always understood
that agriculture was basic indus
try. but it is to be feared that the
phrase had no particular signifi-
canoe. They understood it was an
accented fact, but just how the au-
thorities had decided it was a basic
industry was beyond their vision.
Today genuinely, sincere and intel
ligent expressions on the farm situ-
alton can be heard in all the Eas-
tern territory, and contrary to a
thought which has been Industrious
ly promulgated, the Eastern interest
in the solution of the farm problem
is not predicated on a mere dollar
and cents view, but because of an
honest and sympathetic feeling OF
distress over the truggles which
many farmers have been obliged to
make.
While for variety of reasons,
some political, but mainly because of
the innate modesty Of the man, no
direct comment on the farm situa-
ton has been made by William M.
Butler, the chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee. His
friends say that in private CONVEX
sation, and again, not as a politi-
cia1t, but as a citizen of the country,
he has made definite expressions of
his belief that the farmers are en-
titled TO something like reasonable
assurance as to where the govern
ment isl going in this matter and
what it, intends to do. Butler lived in
the near West in the early years Of
his iife, and thus early had an op-
rtlaity to sense conditions and

EARL CARROLL

Attorney General Sargent comes
from the high hills of Vermont and
he was a good fisherman before Mr..
Coolidge ever baited a hook. He has
looked into the case of Earl Carroll.
the theatrical producer who became
famous in the "bathtub case," and
then got sick on his way to the At

have remained skeptical about Car

Col Blanton Winship, the Presi-
dents military aide, is a recent al
dition to the official family. He has
succeeded Col. Cheney, who held this
post for some two years, and who re-
signed to return for service with
troops. Col. Winship is an officer of
high brilliant professional attain
ments, with very wonderful mill
tary record. The best compliment
which could be paid him is that he
wears uniform because the regula-
tions provide it, not because he
needs it.
Col. Startling, of the Secret Service,
who is charged with the protection
of the President, is already known
to the people of the Black Hills. Col.
Startling is the man who was charg-
ed with inspecting the various sites
offered for the summer White House.
He was himself captivated by the
Black Hills, and arrived some time
in advance of the party to make the
final arrangements for the carrying
on of the nations business. Col.
Startling has an extraordinary rep
utation for being able to hear ev-
erything and say but little.
Just inside the door of the execu-
tive offices at Rapid City, there will
be found a short, plump little man
with quizzical laughing eyes and
manners suggestive of a golden
mean between those which a diplo-
mat and an Al politician are sup
posed to possess. His business is to
establish at first hand the purpose
of each and every caller and then to
assist in aiding the caller. He is
"Pat" McKenna, who for many years
has guarded the executive offices at
Washington. McKenna is credited
with being able to gain if anything
greater esteem in refusing entrance
than many others would achieve if
they drew the doors wide open and
invited all who came to enter.

SCHOOL DAYS

In big educational centers like
Washington there are schools where
thousands of lucky girls live their
daily lives while they pursue their
studies and gain an education. Hol-
ton-Arms is a leader among this
class of private schools, and its
merit is shown in the record where
the elder sister of the family is sue
ceeded by younger sisters in the en-
rollment of the school, and in later
years when these girls attain the
maturity of womanhood, their daugh-
ters are entered by them as pupils
in Holton-Arms. In the June-tlme
of the year the parents, friends, and
graduates assemble for the COM
mencement exercises. There are
class plays, theses, receptions, and
various other functions. 1t is a
time when everyone renews his or
her association with the school. The
united groups rededicate themselves
to the cause and purpose of the
school, and the Alma Mater. In this
school there are enrolled the daugh-
ters of the country's most disting-
uished citizen, including Senators,
Representatives, Court Justices,
Cabinet members, Army and Navy
officials, diplomats and many others
who are prominent in public and
private life. 1t may be counted a
blessing to our civilization that pri-
vate schools are intelligently and
skillfully organized by such compe-
tent leaders in education as Mrs. F.
A. Holton, principal of Holton-Arms.
The success of such a school is
largely due to the fact that a few
such women as she possess a prac-
tical understanding of modern youth,
and know how to bring out and de-
velop the best qualities in the mod
ern enigma.

SOUND BANKING

The McFadden Act passed by the
last Congress makes the foundations
of the national banking policy as
firm and secure as it is possible to
make them. At least this is the

who evidently had the .okeh of the
Federal Reserve Board for his

DAYS ago.

TT IS PLEASING to note the set

IT IS PLEASING to note the set
tlement of the truck controversy OIL
several months standing between
Delaware and our sister state oil
MARYLAND. Coolheaded discussion OF
the problems confronting the motor
vehicle authorities of both states has
brought an agreement wherepy
trucks from each state may traVel
the highways of the other by using
license tags from the home state.
This is the only sensible settlement
of the controversy, and should prove
pleasing to all concerned. The trou-
BILE started when a few milk trucks
from Delaware were put on regular
routes in Maryland. They were COM
PEELED to take out Maryland state
licenses. Delaware retaliated and
the war was on. Consultation dld
more than months of letter writing
could accomplish. 1t is also pleas

REPORTS EMINATING from the
headquarters of the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association this week
show that travel on the improved
highways of Delaware, Maryland and
Virginia has made a very material
increase over the corresponding
periods of last year. Last weekend,
Notwithstanding the very stormy and
unreasonable weather, a check
made on the Delaware highways just
below Dover showed "a gain of over
one-third over the corresponding
weekend of last year. This the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
attributes partially to the elaborate
advertising campaign which it has
waged throughout the nation during
the past several months, partly to
the fact that our wonderful highway
system is just coming into national
notice, and to the desire of motorists
generally to become more familiar
with this wonderful peninsula of
plenty. One of the pleasing things
to be noted from last week-end's
check-up is the large number of au-
tomobiles from Ohio and other states
west of the Appalachian mountain
chain. Whatever the cause, it is a
matter of record that visitors are
coming to Del-Mar-Va in ever in
creasing numbers, which augers

FACISTI MEMBERSHIP NOT BAR TO
 CITIZENSHIP.

Just because applicants for American citizen ship were asked, in hearing at Baltimore, if they were members of the Facsti League of North America the report spread that no one that belonged to the Facisti group would be admitted to citizenship. Secretary Davis of the Depart ment of Labor requested the Associated Press to deny the published stories quoting him as having made such a statement. Secretary Davis was cor roborated by Commissioner of Naturalization Ray mond F. Crist who said that Italian applicants for naturalization need not fear that they would be rejected because they admitted membership in the Facisti Party
 It also is pointed out that those who were asked the question concerning Facisti member ship at the Baltimore hearing and admitted they were members granted citizenship.

ALASKANS FOR BUREAU OF
 EDUCATION SERVICE.

The announcement that the Bureau of Edu- cation gives Aaskans preference in the selection of teachers and nurses for service in the Terri tory is gratifying. It offers opportunity for em- ployment to many Alaskan teachers and students, not to mention the wider chance for employment it gives nurses. Quite number of young Alaska college students have already secured employment as teachers in this service and the circumstance of publicity in the premises will probably result in more applications from them.
 It is not only, however. that Alaskans may profit that the policy is desireabe but it is help ful to the service Alaskans more likely to fit into the positions and give satisfaction than those from the Outside The Alaskan teachers know about the conditions that confront them. They are in their country, and they have information and adaptibility that add to their usefulness
