most approved design. It is the aim
of the Company to save the motorist
all labor in connection with his tires
In connection with the sale Of
new Atlas Tire, the service station
employees are trained and equipped
to install the new tire on the GUS
toners car. Thereafter, any changes
that may be required in connection
with repair work on an Atlas Tire
will be made free Of cost. Repairs OF
damages as covered in the guarantee

get prompt and skilled service at the
nearest Soho station. AS soon as it
is possible to extend the sale Of Atlas
Tires to the Company's agents and
dealers, this same repair and adjust
ment service will also be available at
those outlets.
An official of the Ohio Company
pointed out that their stations are
open every day in the year except
Christmas. He said that therefore.
Atlas Tire service would always be
available. This means that the motor
ist can get tire service any time in
Guiding Saturdays, Sundays and eve
nings. It is expected that this feature
of the Company's service will prove
to be distinct aid to motorists.
Unusual Convenience Feature
The same Standard Oil Company
Ohio official quoted above said that
the user of Atlas Tires will find Atlas
service available practically any
where. He pointed out that Soho
stations are everywhere in Ohio, and
that there are, or will be shortly,
thousands of Atlas dealers through
out the United States. That means
that from now on Atlas Tire service
is available practically anywhere. 1t
means that wherever the Atlas Tire
user may 60, his tires will be sesviced
swiftly or adjustments made prompt
ly at any time during the life Of the
Soho guarantee under which be pur-
chased his tires. He said. Every
Soho station or Atlas dealer has
exactly the same responsibility to
the Atlas Tire user - the Standard
Oil (Ohio) station that sells the tire
in the first place."

 He is building a new yacht 34 feet long with a 10-foot beam-smaller even than the Firecrest-in which he expects to sail from New York for the south seas, via the Panama canal.
 Jean Borotra. French tennis star. also arrived on the He de France. He said he probably would enter the Forest Hills tournament.

GERBAULT PLANS
 NEW SUFFRAGE
Would Raise Culture Standard
 Of South Sea Natives

New York, Aug. 26 (UP)-If any one knows of a first class unin- habited island in the South Seas. Alain Gerbault would be glad to hear from him.
 Gerbault, who gained fame for himself and France first as tennis player and then as a sailor, wants to establish a new ''super-race" and a new culture on that island.
 What I wait to find is an unin- habited island in the South Seas about 1000 miles east of Samoa, ," Gerbault said. France has a pro- tectorate over some of these islands and I would like to select one of these.
 Here I will settle down for the remainder of my days, bringing my owN natives from other islands. I will select the youngest. strongest and handsomest-and they are a handsome people-and start super race of natives. We will live a harmonious life and l will try to raise new standard of art and cul- ture in that faraWay land"
 Gerbault's dream has progressed to the stage where he is building a yacht in which to seek the Utopian isle. The boat will be somewhat simi- lar to FireCrest. in which he sailed alone around the world
 T will sail from Havre to Pana- ma, through the canal to the Pacific, and head for Samoa" the young Frenchman said. When on my world cruise I fingered as long as possible in the South Seas and when l left there I said to myself, I will return and spend the rest of my life here
 T don't think I'll ever want to go back. It's paradise out there, and with loyal natives around you it will be an ideal existence. It won't be so hard to support ourselves. We can grow the native products and trade with other islanders"
 Details of government, laws. taxes and the like have not yet been work ed out, Gerbault said,

STEWED FRESH FRUIT SHOULD BE SERVED IN SUMMER WEATHER
It is a Pleasing Change From Raw Fruit and Often
 More Wholesome

It is often the tendency in sum- rner to over-indulge in raw fruit. In many cases an upset digestive system can be traced to raw fruit. However, when the fruit is stewed and sweetened to taste with sugar, there is less danger of di- gestive disorders. As far as taste appeal is concerned, stewed peaches, apples, berries, plums and pears are most enjoyable when chilled and served for dessert.
 In view of the fact that sugar is now at the lowest price it has been in a generation, and since fruit is very abundant, the value of storing away preserves of all kinds for winter use should not be overlooked. Not only is homecoming profitable, but grocers everywhere are offer ing splendid bargains in preserved fruits, jellies and jams.
 Pickles and relishes made of cu- cumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and watermelon rind are also economical to preserve. Their spicy, tart-sweet goodness encourages the consump- tion of essential foods such as meat, fish and vegetables. Good food pro- notes good health. The Sugar Institute.

FINANCIAL RELIEF FOR DRAUGHT AREA
Federal and State Authorities
 Meet to Discuss Problems

Washington, Aug. 2s JP)-Fed- eral and state authorities joined to- day in attacking the problem of emergency financial relief for drought areas.
 Representatives Of various states gathered here to discuss the matter with Henry NJ. Robinson. banker member of President Hoover's na- tional drought relief committee, and other presentatives of federal agencies.
 Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, chairman of the committee, said the immediate objective of the meeting was financing agricultural credit corporations which are being or ganized locally in the drought dis tricts. Hyde, who returned yester- day from midwestern trip, said the grain shortage probably would be more acute than had been forecast.
 Means of Proving Credit
 establishment of agricultural credit corporations" Hyde said, lis the means of providing credit. In general, the local community will provide the credit and the federal agency will furnish the funds Most of the credit will be needed this autumn.
 The credit corporations will lend money direct to the farmer and re- discount the paper with intermediate credit banks
 This phase of the credit problem concerns farmers not affiliated with cooperatives. The federal farm board | is ready to advance funds to CO., operative organizations, but is unable to make funds available except through these channels.
 Under this authority, the board announced yesterday it was assisting the American Cooperative associa- ton to advance through state CO., operatives approximately 90s per | cent of the value of cotton placed | by growers in seasonal pools. Ad- vances to optional pool members will be 10 per cent less and both | categories of advance will be adjust | cd as the market rises or falls.
 Three Types of Relief Three types of relief Ire 10 be made available to farmers beyond reach of farm board funds. In each instance county groups operating under state committees will decide what form of relief shall be ad, vanced in specific cases. Where neither credit nor employ nlent can be obtained for a farmer it is planned to care for him and his | family through the RRd Cross In cases where credit is merited in the opinion of county committees, it will 1 be extended. Other farmers will be i given preferment in employment on roads and other public works pro- | jects.
 Hyde has sent into the drought area. C. L. Chambers and H. W Gil l bertson of the agriculture depart ment to assist state agencies in emergency relief work They will en-
 deavor to put relief organizations ir touch with supplies of quickly avail,
 ale feed stuffs. Their itinerary SC far includes Virginia. Kentucky Tennessee, Arkansas, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
