lengthening of tire life and the
speed and endurance records set on
speedways, erosS-country runs aad
general service, find answer in the
patented Firestone process of gum
dipping.
by this process, the cord fabric
composing the tires carcass. is dip
ped through rubber solution
which saturates and insulates the
millions of little fibers making up
each cord. In this way, eaeIl cord is
insulated from within, as well as
protected from without.
Few people appreciate the
strain and stresses an automobile
tire undergoes every yard it travels.
At average speed, tire flexes 660
times per mile In a tire life of
$4,000 miles the casing has been
deflected in contact with the pave
ment nearly 10 million times. This
problem of disintegration d ne to
heat and friction of flexing was
solved by Firestone in the gum
dipping process.'

HEMET TO HOLD
RAMONA PAGEANT
LATE in MONTH

This year for the eighth consecu-
tive season, the people of Hemet
and San Jacinto will present their
now world-famous Ramona play in
the magnificent amphitheater situ
ated in the shadow of mighty San
Jacinto's Peak. Six afternoon per-
formances will be given this year,
April 26-27 May 3-4 and May 10
II, at 3 p. m.
From all parts of California, low
ers of the history and romance of
the early days in the golden state.
are sending to Hemet with requests
for seat reservations. Thirty thous-
and people are expected to see the
play in its six. performances this
year.
The title role will be taken again
this year by Dorise Schukow, who
has come to be known as "Califor-
MAS Ramona" because of her re-
markable portrayal of this beloved
and lovable character marking the
pages of Helen Hunt Jackson's i'm
mortal novel. Miss Schukow returns
to the pageant east this year under
contract which calls for the high
est salary ever paid an actress for
an outdoor appearance on the Pa
cific coast. She will be supported
by Herbert Heyes, star of motion
pictures and the legitimate stage, as
Alossandro.
Bertram Grassby. motion picture
player, as Felipe, Bell Mitchell, le
gitimate stage star, as Margarita,
are in the east of more than 200
men, women and children, most of
whom are appearing In the play for
the eighth year.
The Ramona Bowl, reached by
paved highways from all sections Of
Southern California, has been de-
clared the finest of California's am
phitheatres. Comfortable seats are
provided for 5000 spectators and
there is parking space for 5000
ears within a few steps of the seat
ing section. The acoustics of the
whisper on the stage below, can be
heard distinctly even at the topmost
rim of the bowl.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that
the story should be dramatized and
produced in the Hemet San Jacinto
Valley for it was there, in 1888,
that Helen Hunt Jackson found the
material for her novel. 1t was
there that the characters of the
story actually lived It was there
that Ramona and Alessandro loved
and died and il is there that their
graves will be found today.

W. H. Hatton, manager of the {

According to Hatton, the factory
production schedules have had to be
consistently increased to meet the
market demands.
"The Firestone Supreme Balloon
represents a new peak in tire quail
ity, not alone through unlimited use
of the finest materials, but in mora
efficient use of them" explains
Hatton.
"The outstanding advantages of
this tire are not simply matter of

MANUFACTURE OF
TIRES REQUIRES
REAL PROGRESS

No other American industry has
been called upon to make such pro-
gress in the perfection Of its pro-
duets to meet the changing demands
of the user as the tire industry, says
II. \. McKellar, manager of the
FirestOne branch, which serves the
Southwest through a system of well
organized 'one-stop' service plants
From the wrapped tread fabric tire
of few years back to the Firestone
Supreme Balloon of today there is
represented a period of product de-
velopment with few parallels in the
industrial world, declares the Fire
stone sales chief.
"Tire manufacturers today are no
longer building tires for the present
but are anticipating as well the
greater demands of tomorrow" ex-
plains McKellar. "The Firestone
Supreme Balloon offers an interest
ing case in point. Here is a tire
with II per cent increase in carcass
strength, 80 per cent more tough
tread rubber and 80 per cent deep
er non-skid patteSn that not only
meets today's demands for tire con-
struction equal to high powered
motors, efficient brakes and fast
driving, but is ready for any added
burdens of service the automotive
industry may dictate.
"The cord carcass is the real back
bone of the tire. When it fails, the
tire is useless, no matter how much
wear may be left in the tread. The
cord used in Supreme tire is made
from the very finest cotton avail
able, is twisted for maximum
strength and is gum-dipped for long
est life. To increase the margin of
safety extra plies Of this superior
fabric are used. To make such a
sturdy carcass more flexible and to
increase its life, extra rubber is
placed between the plies. The car
cass thus constructed readily re-
sists road shock, heat and tremend-
Gus strains. The Supreme Balloon
is not only noticeably larger on the
outside but is larger inside and pro-
vides more air space. The larger
air space insures more cushion aud
greater flexibility for the tire"

WINGS. OLD ONES NEEDED.

Carrier pigeons should be included in the equip ment of every airpane that operates in the North. Lofts. should be established at all aviation bases The birds would serve as swift messengers from a grounded aerial craft to it's airport, and needed help could be promptly given. They could be ex- pected to prevent such distressing anxiety and un- certainty as now attach to disappearances of fiers
 For 24 days a plane containing Pilot E. J. A. Burke and two companions has been lost in the Atlin country For seven days searching aircraft with Pilot Robin Renahan and two associates, has itself been missing The Atlin plane disappeared on a journey of about 100 miles in length, the Van couver craft a having airports every few hundred miles.
 If the airships had been provided with carrier pigeons there would be definite knowledge of what has taken place Fatal, sudden crashes could be inferred from failure within reasonable time of birds to put into appearance at their lofts. Forced land ngs and their locations would have been made known by pigeons within a few hours after the nlishaps.
 Of course the ideal equipment for airships as for sea ships, is wireless apparatus but so long as this is impracticable for planes, they should make of carrier pigeons
 Efficiency of the birds has extended over such a long period and has been demonstrated in 50 many kinds of service that the neglect of airplane companies in the North, with it's rugged coasts, DrOKen terrain ana vast ulSldnceS, IO lHFOke tue aid of feathered creatures is surprising. Their use in conveying information precedes the glory of Solomon. Winged couriers distributed the results of the early Olympic games throughout the Grecian world In every war from time immemorial, the birds have been bearers of military intelligence. In the World conflict, they were enlisted by the thousands, and they proved 90 per cent efficient, despite terribly unfavorabe conditions
 Carrier pigeons sustain a speed of 80 miles hour for distances ranging between 100 and 600 miles. By stress of storm they are often delayed but seldom overcome.

People Should Eat Canned Salmon.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Would you eat a little more good, healthful food, and urge others to eat little more, if you knew lit would bring prosperity to $65,00000O industry? Fish is one of the best of foods; salmon is the best of fish-and canned salmon is the best form of salmon.
 If the American people would on the average, eat one more can year, the surplus of this whole some article of food would be disposed o the user health would be benefited because of the iodine introduced into the system, and great industry would be benefited by restoration of profitable market.
 Development of foreign fisheries with their com petition, general under er-consumption in the Amerl- can market and the general disturbance of domestic prosperity have brought stern problems to the can ned salmon industry But its leaders are not quit ters They are helping themselves. year ago they programmed a three-year selling campaign of ad- vertising to convert American consumers to the of their fine product
 The first year has shown apprecable results des- bite unfavorabe developments in general conditions They should go on with renewed faith in the methods they have adopted By continuing the selling campaign they will take advantage of the cumulative effect of promotion work already well done during the last year.
 The Association of Pacific Fisheries last Satur- day concluded three-day session in Bellingham This meeting brought to the Pacific Northwest some of the biggest figures in the food industry
 These men, some of whom have built vast for tunes by developing good articles of food then let ting the consumers know about them, can testify that advertising is indispensable factor in creat- ing demand.
 It is not enough to have something good The people must be told about it. The salmon canners have been doing this for year, By continuing their efforts for another two years business inevit- ably improving generally In the meantime, they will find the industry restored and stabilized. For Ii appetite is held the direction of this best of food fish, steady demand will follow.
 Let those people who already know the tasty delight of this cheap, wholesome food eat more of it.
 And let the salmon canners, by sustained edu- cational effort, induce more people to acqualnt themselves with their product.
 This is the way to prosperity in the salmon packing industry

BAD CONDITIONS
FOR SANITATION
DEPT. DRIVERS
Men Can't Wash Up
After Work

NEW YORK. -- I am a driver in
the department of sanitation in other
words, street cleaning department.
I just thought I would write and
explain the rotten conditions that
exist on this Job.
The men report for work at e:45
a. m. from there we are sent to diff
ferent sections. There the foreman
sends the men on different trucks to
work and of course the men who
have the best pull receive the best
routes. These men collect refuse
from stores and restaurants that are
supposed to be collected by private
contractors, thereby collecting extra
money.
Feremen Get Money.
I am sure that these foremen are
being paid by these men so that
they can keep these routes steady.
The trucks that the department uses
are not only a disgrace but also a
menace to other drivers. They are
not fit to be out in the street and
still if driver refuses to take a
truck out that is not fit to be taken
out he is fined day or two of his
pay.
The conditions at the garage are
outrageous. There is one sink for
1863 men and one toilet. There are
about 20 lockers that must have been
built for midgetS. On account of
that the men are forced to go home
in dirty shrinking clothes. Some men
who work on top Of the trucks are
SO dirty and filthy thru no fault of
theirs are ashamed to ride in a street
car or subway and walk home.
Long Hours.
The hours are supposed to be from
GAS a. m. until 4 p. m. but some
times the men are forced to work
until p. m, p. m. and even 8
o'clock at night without a penny over
time. The bosses are always driving
the men and for the least little in
fraction they hand you complaint.
That is providing they know you
have no pull. If you complain about
the rotten conditions they answer, If
you don't like the job, quit.
Well. for one don't like the job
but I'm not going to quit. I'm going
to fight and try to make my fellow
workers understand our struggle for
more money and better working con-
ditions.

WICHITA ,JOBLESS
SUFFER HUNGER.
Eight Hundred March
on City Hall
(By q Worker Correspondent)

WICHITA, Kansas.-The unem-
ployment situation here is becoming
more alarming with the coming of
colder weather. Actual hunger and
suffering among the jobless and
their dependents. Admittedly, there
are 5000 facing the winter without
jobs and without prospects OF get
ting jobs. The other day about 1000
men gathered in response to an ad
for men on a construction job, only
to find that there was no job and
that the ad was hoax. After mill
ing around bit some six or eight
hundred marched to the City Hall
and demanded an interview with the
City Manager. From there they
marched to the Court House and
called on the County Commissioners.
Both City Manager Wells and
Chairman Gibson of the County
Commissioners addressed the gath
ering. I think both were rather
badly frightened, for they stalled and
temporized and told the victims how
sorry they were. In short, they
handed out the usual line of stupid
bunk, to the effect that the authori-
ties would do all possible to help
solve the problem of unemployment.
Which means that they will do Moth
ing.
Now, the Chamber Of Commerce,
the preachers and labor takers have
horned in and are doing their darn
eldest to lead the movement into a
blind alley. so that it will dissipate
itself in harmless futility. The Plain
dealer, local organ of the A. F. of L.,
is pleading with those still at work
to donate a days pay each week to
help feed the hungry, and is warming
the Rabbits that unless something
is done. in the way of relief, the
jobless will turn to Communism!
