Decisions Against
Two Plaintiffs

Decisions were handed down yes.
terdav in two cases which Judge Lar
ew had taken under advisement fol-
lowing hearings in December. In
both instances he ruled that the
,laintiff take nothing by the action
and that the defendants recover
costs.
The first decision was in the ease
of Rene Rambout against w. D.
Roarke and Everett Forester. The
ease was rather involved one cen
tered about n promissory note. The
court held that Forester had give
Roarke q promissory note for $"oo
as security for the purchase of an
automobile by an cmploye of For
roster. The note was given, however,
with the stipulation that Forester
would pay Roarke only such money
as the employc earned during his
work for him and that the note
would be cancelled with the pay
mcnt of 5000 if the employees wages
ran over that amount.
The court held that the cmploye
had earned slightly over 5000 while
working for Forester and that For
rester had paid that amount 10
Roarke, the later, however, failing
to give the defendant Forester th"
cancelled note at the time, deelar-
ing that he had left it ut home. The
court held that the note was sub
sequentlv given by Roarkc to Ram
bout and held that the defendant
Forester was indebted in no way
hy reason Of the note. The court did
not state az to its findings in the
case of Roarkc, the hearing having
been confined to the defendant
Forester. l.. J. Powers appeared for
the plaintiff and c. l.. Brown for the
defendant, Forester.
The other case was that of |. {.
Stearns against Fred Coames. This
ease related to Il claim by the plain
tiff that the defendant was indebt-
cd 10 him in the sum of 1922. The
court, however, held that the evil
dence had failed to show that the
defendant was in any way indebt-
ed to the plaintiff, the ruling that
the plaintiff take nothing and the
defendant recover costs resulting.
Kelley and Hews represented the
plaintiff while c. l.. Brown was at
torncv for the defendant.

DUNLOP COMPANY
OFFICIAL TELLS
ABOUT RUBBER

"And l learned about rubber from
him.
That was the consensus of opinion
of the 80 odd automobile dealers and
business men who attended the din
ner given at the Barbara Worth
hotel last night by representatives
of the Dunlop Rubber company, the
occasion marking the opening of the
first of a series of dealer warehouses
that will stretch from the Mexican
border in California to the Canadian
border in Washington. The him re-
fers to Arch Harp, western general
sales manager of the company.
Harp gave an interesting talk,
concluding with round table dis
eussion in which he answered every
question that his audience put to
him and which covered all ills and
wants of automobile tires from,
"why they sing to "what pound
age should be carried. y
Accompanying Harp were the fol-
lowing company representatives,
Earl V. Carlson, branch manager;
huDtEl Ils L oA JI., d'illC NVdSl tis
trict manager; G. II. Crawford, gen
cral auditor and X. C. Bugby, branch
auditor.
The dealer warehouse branch is
located at the Safety Corner service
station and is TO be conducted by
the proprietors, w. 4. Tondro and
Dale C. Ramsey. A complete supply
Of Dunlop tires, covering every pos
sible size wanted by the motorist
has been made available with the
arrival of carload of tires. Tondro
and Ramsey will seek to open n
branch office in each of the towns
in Cochella, Yuma and Imperial
valleys. They will have the entire
distribution of tires to these points.
In opening his address Harp brief
" outlined the vastness of the Dun
lop organization. 1.-THE Dunlop com
pany is credited by many with hav-
ing manufactured the first automO-
bile tire,' he declared, "but this
is untrue. The first tire was made by
man named Thompson. The Dun
lop people, however, are the first
ones to enter into the business of
making tires
The Dunlop company, organized
n 1888 as a rubber company, does
approximately 10 per cent of the
rubber business outside of the United
States. 1t has plants in nine differ
ent nations, uses Egyptian cotton
entirely in its tires and produces its
own rubber. The entrace into bhsin-
ess in the United States was effect
ed only four years ago, a $4,000, 900
plant being erected in Buffalo. At
that time the Dunlop company was
placed on the record as the S8th
company in line of production in
the United States. Today the com
pany ranks eighth. f. b. Germaine,
81, is at the head of the company 8
United States interest. He is regard
ed as the youngest executive hold
ing such a responsible position in
the United States.

savings in home banks in the past,
but many times when mother was

and a promise to paw back given.
Many times the small emptied bank
discouraged the interest of Willie
in saving, and the pennies went for
candy, pop, etc.

teachers at the Wilson school made
a survey of the money spent at
