spent millions of dollars to the end of making better automobiles
and better tires.
Louis Schneider and mechanician yesterday won this race In
a heavy eight cylinder car. He made an average speed OF
96.629 miles per hour-on the straightways and In passing
cars he touched lao miles and better. He drove on 6.O0-2O
Firestone High Speed Tires with racing treads. He had no
tire trouble.
He used FiresiOne Tires because Firestone experts and engineers
have through iweniy-One years taken this race as a challenge TO
tire making. From this race they have developed these vital inn
prOvemenis which have given to FirestOre Tires the world leader
ship i'm safety, mileage and endurance.
/. Gum Dipping. Tires had to be stronger and able to stand the
heat of a hot red-brick track at high speed. Firestone met this by
developing and perfecting the dipping of cords through a rubber
solution TO insulate each fiber of every cord to overcome heat and
give The cord greater strength and $3.50 greater f~exibliy. This
is The Patented Cum-Dipping Process used i'm the making of every
FirestOne Tire.
2. The Balloon Tire was developed by Firesione to permit greater
speed with comfort and safety by increasing road grip and absorb
ing shocks. Ii was made possible by the added strength and fexbl-
lily given by Cum-Dipping. In the 1925 race, some of the drivers
tried The then new Firestone Balloons. The others stuck to high
pressure tires. Peter de Paolo on Firestone Balloons made a worlds
record. All the prize winners came in on FrestOne Ba1Oons-Now
the balloon lire is everywhere the standard.
3. Double Cord Breaker. The higher-powercdc cars and the step-up
in speed demanded still more tire toughness. AT one hundred miles
an hour, the circumference of a tire increases by more than 1910,
and This, added 10 the centrifugal force, tends to throw off the tire
treads. FirestOne met this by developing the Patented Double Cord
Breaker which gives a 500 stronger bond between the tread and
the tire body and also gives a 26% greater protection against pune
lures and blOwouis.
These are some Of the great lessons that Firestene has learned on
this racing track. And so the men whose lives and fortunes depend
on knowing tires always buy FirestOne Patented Cum-Dipped
Double Cord Breaker High-SPeed Tires.
There were II entries. Of these, 40 survived the elimination trials
and every one of them was on Firestone Tires. And every tire
was bought and paid for.
We give you the benefit of all the lessons Firestone has learned
from these races. You can get from us all the strength and safety
in tires that the racing drivers buy.

Continued from yesterday

Continued from yesterday Whenever the wife notices that her husband is unresponsive to her love, she leaps at him and scratches his face with her long nails; the guilty culprit sits with his face and head hung to the left, not daring to ward off the avenging angel.
 On the other hand, whenever the husband detected his wife;s infidelity, he reproved her, and if that didn't produce a change, cut off the end of her nose-if angry, bit it off with his teeth. Ruse de guerre. Whereas, if the wife mo- ticed that slight cooling" of. her husbands affections-she moved.
 It was also the custom in those days for the most handsome and dexterous women to have polo vinchiki (half shares), two huS- bands, polyandry being the GUS tom. It was a privilege enjoyed by the most proficient needle women, who could sew bidarcas, bidarahs, manage households, en- certain and gently assuage-etc. These triangle arrangements, on the whole, appeared satisfactory as all legs of the triangle lived |amicably and peacefully together, forming, as it were, ideal trian- gles. Polyandry was a privilege of Queens in ancient times, and it would appear to require no mean generalship. Whether the most handsome and dexterous woman's skill--was equal to that of two mems, is not recorded. Be that as it may, it may be we'll to remember that, an isoceles right triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the shorter leg, and in a quan- diary even science is liable to err in dubiiS.

sity thinks some of the casual
ties may we'll be ascribed to the
changes growing out Of the cele-
brated bulletin of the Carnegie
Foundation. Spring practice
was discontinued in some col
ieges and schools, and this, says
Mr.. Meehan softened teams
which had to play schedules as
long and as hard as those of
elevens which had gone through
the toughening process Of spring
practice.
"The logical conclusion of
Mr.. Meekan's argument" says
the New York Times, lis that the
more emphasis placed on foot
ball, the more intense and pro-
fessional the coaching and train
ing system, the fewer the in
juries. What meanwhile may
happen to education and the pro-
portions of college life, not being
coach'S affair, does not inter
est him. But those concerned
| with putting football in its place
| in the academic world, and max
/ ing it a. safe game. though not
namby- -pamby, would prefer to
retain the victories they have
won and to have another look
at the rules.
More than 400 colleges and
more than 5000 schools have
elevens. There are also sand
lot teams galore and profession
al PLAYERS in many communities.
| 1t is probable that an equal num-
Der of young men swimming
three days a week would show
more deaths. 1t is probable also
that an analysis Of this year. s
casualties will demonstrate that
most of them happened to the
less-trained less-coached teams.
Yet the rules committee will find
growing pressure for changes. .

Now that the football season
has ended, athletic activity in
the University will take the
form of the sports that flourish
in the winter-basketball, box
ing, and wrestling. Training for
these is already under way, and
schedules for intercollegiate con-
tests have been announced.
Arrangements have been made,
too, for an intramural program
that will bring into participation
hundreds of students whose COM
petitions, though receiving little
or no attention in the public
prints, have an important part
in the University's athletic life.
Dormitories and fraternities
have their teams which vie for
honors with a keen spirit of
rivalry.
The first event on the varsity
basketball schedule is a match
with Guilford Wednesday, JAN

wrestling season will be inaugu-
rated by a match with Duke
January II, and the boxing sea
son will start January 19 when
