aloud. Il shall hate the display and
all that fuss. I wish i needn't be

"You owe II 10 your new position,

something you mustn't forget"

Lame sighed, Mother. you talk

Cass said firmly That's what
IL Il for a woman who isn't trained

months. ..r -.

OUTDONE
BY RUBBER

A pound of rubber will absorb
as much energy as a 50-pound
steel spring. DR.. Sidney M. Cad
well, a chemist Of national reputa-
ton, told the Detroit Engineering
Society in a speech on the use
of rubber in the automotive in
dustry. 1t is on account Of this
unusual vlbration-d a m p penin g
quality that it is so widely used
in the manufacture Of auto
mobiles, DR.. Caldwell explained.
The wearing qualities Of rubber
have been greatly increased in
the last few years, according to
DR.. Caldwell, who declared that
the tread Of q tire on . car such
as the Chevrolet and Ford wears
less than One-fiftieth Of an inch
in 1000 miles of driving.
DR.. Caldwell emphasized the i'm.
portance of rubber to the nation.
declaring that it would be a
national calamity to have the
supply Of rubber cut off as might
happen in a major war, pointing
out that a large proportion Of
American transportation rolls on
rubber.
He declared, however, that such
a national emergency could be
alleviated to a certain extent by
the production of rubber from
the Guayule shrub, which can be
grown in the southwestern part
of the United States.

the associations protest. said:

Tire Begins to Lose
Air the Moment
ills Inflated

Motorists might do better
by their tires If they would
realize that all tires nearly
always are losing air. The rate
Of leakage is slow but it al
ways is to be considered. In
general, a tire begins to lose
air the moment it has been
inflated.
The result Is that it goes but
a short interval carrying the
correct pressure. That is why
once a month is not often
enough to initiate ones tires.

explaining that neither March 4, the

ADD HEALTH TO
HOT BREADS
-

Hot breads are tempting. But
often they lack roughage. The
absence of bulk from foods often
results in constipation.
But now you can have hot
breads aVitb roughage. Simply
add a cupful of Kellogg's ALL
BRAN to the recipe. This deli
cious cereal furnishes the bulk
needed TO assure proper elm
ination. You will find many
appetizing recipes on the red
and-green ALL-BRAN package.
Equally tempting as a ready
to-eat cereal with milk or cream.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are
guaranteed to prevent and re-
lieve both temporary and recur-
ring constipation. In severe
cases, use with each meal.
ALL-BRAN also furnishes
needed iron for the body. At all
grocers. Made by Kellogg in
