Boosting Interest
In Higher Education

Too often. boys and girls give up
their education when graduating
from high school, not realizing that
in the future, the one without the
benefits of college education is
handicapped In conversation re-
Gently with DIR. Charles F. Thwing,
President emeritus of Western Re-
serve University, he said on this
subject:
Parents may encourage their chill
dren to pursue courses in higher ed
ucation by having them meet men of
culture and by taking them to lecture
courses and by surrounding them
with books. especially books of biog-
raphy that from these sources, they
may be impressed with the value OF
refined, educated and cultured per-
sonality.
Often visit from college repre-
sentative in the home will uncon-
sciously inspire boys and girls to
take advantage of the higher insti-
tutions Of learning and decide to con-
tinue their education"
DR.. Thwing believes in holding be-
fore the youth high ideals which will
furnish natural appeals for the boys
and girls to make the most of their
lives.

Begin Early To
Control Fireblight

The control of fireblight OF pears
and apples is not restricted to certain
periods Of the year. Effective work
can be done at any time during either
the dormant or growing season, ac-
cording to. R. C. Thomas, plant path
ologist at the Ohio Experiment Sta
ton. When the leaves are off the
trees it is easier to observe cankers
upon the larger limbs. 1t is in these
cankers that the freblight bacteria
survive the winter period and become
a source of infection with the opening
of the growing season. If all fire.
blight cankers in an orchard could be
sterilized or cut out and destroyed, the
disease would be controlled.
A very valuable aid in the control
Of fireblight is chemical treatment
of the cankers. The preparation and
use of this treatment is described in
the Bimonthly Bulletin for November
December, 1892 The solution used for
treating the cankers penetrates into
the dead wood, kills the fireblight bac-
terra, and renders the cankers harm
less. 1t is no longer necessary to cut
out the dead wood. Less labor is re-
quired and the work is much more eff
fectively done by the canker treatment
method.
The blossoming period is the time
of greatest ifireblight Infection; vari-
Gus insects carry the bacteria to the
open blossoms. However, it is not de-
sirable for various reasons, to spray
during this period. This fact practic-
ally eliminates the use of sprays in the
control of fireblight.

GOLDEN PLY TIRE is NEW
INVENTION OF GOODRICH co


internal heat, the basic cause of
tire blowouts, is overcome by the
new 'Life-Saver Golden Ply devel-
oped by The B. F. Goodrich Company
for the Goodrich Safety Silvertown
tire" according to an announcement
by Fuller Mouser of Clelland &
Mouser, Goodrich tire dealer located
at London.
"The incessant flexing of the tire
carcass at high speeds and other fac
tors arising from the operation of
automobiles under today's motoring
conditions, set up internal friction
that affects the life of ordinary rub
Der compounds and leads to blow
OUTS" Mr.. Mouser said.
Goodrich Safety Silvertowns are
now made with this new ply of gold
en- rubber between the tread and re-
naming fabric plies. The new rub
ber compound resists heat and binds
the tire into a single unit, thus pre-
venting formation of blisters which
cause blowouts.
"A cross-section of the new tire
shows how this compound is built
into the product. Demonstra-
ton proves that the Golden Ply will
not separate from the tread under
the most severe tension.
"This development is not only new
in the tire industry, but it also is
one of the advancements to meet the
pace the ever-progressive automotive
industry in general" Mr.. Mouser
said.

quired to play on the team. This will
allow more freedom in the choice, of

has too many good bowlers will have
to trade one or more members to a
weaker team in order that all teams
starting may be evenly matched. This
is vital to the success of the. league,
