BEWARE Of SK|DS!
Amazing "Road-Drying Tire Tread Sweeps

Windshield Wiper Action

resists the heat generated inside
the tire by today's high speeds and
thus protects you against danger.
Gus, high-speed blow-outs.
No Extra Cost
With winter driving just ahead
and with roads often as slippery
as glass, don't take chances. You
need this "road drying" tread un-
der yoar car. This is the real
money-saving time to put new tires
on your car. Tires wear less dur
ing fall and winter months than
on hot summer pavements. So you
can have the protection of this life
saving tire on your car this winter
and still have practically a new
tire for next summers driving.
And in spite of the fact that
Goodrich engineers have packed
one safety feature after another
into this amazing tire, Silvertowns
cost not a penny more than other
standard tiresl

Lewis E. GoodseH Is Fired From Position
President of Conn. Young Republican Clubs Was Ousted Today-Elas Been Principal in Spirited
 Discussion for Past Few Weeks

Hartford. Conn, Dec. 12-(U.P0- Lewis E. Goodsell, Bethel, president of the Connecticut Young Repub- lican Clubs, was fired" to-day by the state board of finance and con- trol as an investigator for the state tuberculosis commission. He had been the subject of a spirited con- troversy for several weeks as result of reported charges by democratic members of the commission that the investigator had ben active in poli- tical campaigning at Waterbury.
 Although the commission several days ago confirmed his appoint ment, the control board today re- fused to recognize the vote and de- clared the job "did not. exist.
 It was understood the board took the attitude that the commission, in asking $50 week salary for the investigator, neglected to vote on the compensation angle and that the control board was under the in- precision that an approved salary limit had been formally agreed upon.
 A search of the tuberculosis com- missions records, it was reported, showed that at the time the salary was asked for, no vote had been taken to create the position. Miss Julia Cummings, commission Secre- tary, has requested and received au- thority from Dr. Stephen J. Maher, chairman, to appoint Goodsell.
 The finance board today was said to have received no official knowl- edge of the confirmation meeting.
 Abolition of the job was said to have followed a motion by .Attor- ney General Edward J. Daly to the effect that the position of inves- tigator "did not exist" In addition to the $50 a week salary, Goodsell has been drawing expenses, averag- ing, it was said, about $50 month, and had the use of a state car. No criticism was made of Goodsell's work as an investigator, and on several occasions since the begin ming of the dispute, friends of the Bethel man criticized the argument as a political maneuver."

MAY YOHE DENIES
 ACTORS STORY

Boston, Dec. 12.-(UP)-The Bos- ton Traveller today quotes May Yohe, madcap musical comedy fav- orite of the gay nineties, as ridi- culing the claim of a small-bit film player that he is her son.
 Seeking a share of a $2,000, 900 estate, Robert T. Thomas, 27. ac- tor, asserts he is the son of Captain Puttnaham Bradlee Strong, dashing young American army officer for whom May forsook Lord Francis Hope and caused an international scandal.
 Tt looks to me like a publicity stunt" the Traveller quotes the one time dinner companion of the late Prince Edward of Wales as say ing.
 Shorn of her riches, May today lives in a modest second-floor apartment in Dorchester with her third husband, Captain John A Shuts, British veteran of the Boer war and nephew of famed General Jan Christian Shuts of the Boer army.
 Today's denial was Mays first comment on Thomas claim. When he first made his assertion in July the 63-year old actress was in Massachusetts state hospital recov- ering from a serious illness aggra- vated by a fall down stairs.

CUMMINGS TOOK
 CHARGE OF CASE

Washington, Dec. 12-(UP)-At- torney General Homer s. Cummings made an unprecedented appearance in district supreme court today to argue the governments motion to stay proceedings in seven suits at tacking validity of the Utility Hold ing Company Act.
 Rushing breathless into the court room of Justice Jennings Bailey, the attorney general took over per- sonally a task usually handled by subordinates. He shook hands with an imposing array of opposition counsel before beginning to argue his brief.
 He sought, in effect, a stay in seven independent injunction pro- ceedings against the Holding Com pany Act, asking the court to sus- pend the suits until after the su- preme court rules on legality of the law in a case brought by the securi- ties and exchange commission against the Electric Bond & Share Go. in New York.
