POINTS OUT RISKS OF
RUNNING ON SMOOTH TIRES

Accurate statistics show that there
arc more than 50 million tires now
in use that are smooth or will become
in the next few months which
unless replaced, will result in prop
erty damage or needless risking of
life, according to Chester d. Wiley,
local distributor of Rainbow gasoline
and other products of the True's OIL
company, who also distributes Kelly
Springfield tires in this territory.
Many of these tires are actually
unsafe. The rest will become unsafe
before the summer is over. That is
the purpose of National Tire Safety
Week, which is being observed this
week in an effort to warn motorists
of the folly of running few risks
for the sake of saving few dimes
Safe now tires are the cheapest in
surance motorist cnn carry on his
car

Commissioners To Aid
Dry Falls Road I reject

! The long hoped for wish that this
town would be blessed with high
way through its center seemed On
the way to fulfillment this week,
when group of local delegates met
with the county commissioners at
special session Tuesday and out
lined plans for road which would
link Coulee City with the ma,f-trav
eed routes and bring to it right
full share of the tourist traffic.
The new road, which would be
county-sponsored WPA project, would
come from the Sunset highway d.
rectly, to Coulee City and follow the
very rim of Dry Falls to a junction
with the Soap lake highway near the
vista house at the park
The new route will give spectac.
ular view of the historical fills, in
addition to giving a shorter and mcrs
direct road to this national wonder
spot.
The commissioners gave their APP
proval to tho proposed project and
will serd the county engineer hcre
carly next month to make survey
and estimate Of the cost. When the
project is fully mapped out it will be
presented to the district office Of tho
Works Progress Administration for q
final okeh. The WPA has already in
dicated it's Willingness to cooperate
fully with the county on any feasible
project, so it is extremely doubtful
that opposition will be incurred with
that group.
Under the WPA setup, materials
and equipment must be furnished by
tho county. with the WPA paying all
labor costs.
County Furnishes Materials
Workmen would be used from I'M
employed ranks from all parts of the
county, but for the most part it is
planned to use men from the Grand
Coulee area where the unemployment
problem is most acute The workers
will probably be transported daily
to and from the project with trucks.
Those attending the meeting from
here were Frank Abbott, A. d. Pugh,
Frank Mccain, Clarence Moore and
Bob Hilson
The commissioners stated they
we're more than willing to do their
part to ease the labor situation in
the dam area, but certain restrictions
of the government prohibited their
aiding projects within incorporated
cities. These restrictions were ex.
planned to delegation of Grand
Coulee workers last week, when coun-
ty help was asked in street pro-
iect at Grand Coulee.

George AIDES Fable
Is Reversed by
Prof. CubberIy
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

Two Hoosiers, born two years
apart, offer strangely parallel, but
violently contrasting, themes Of
fact and fancy. George Ade, in ono
Of his fables, sets up a bespectacled,
stopped, absent-minded professor Of
paleontology, rounding go with q
collection of bones and a house with
mortgage on it. His boyhood
playmate, too dumb to get beyond
the eighth grade in the little red
schoolhouse, has cleaned up in busi-
ness, and, strolling across tho
campus, encounters his old friend,
the professor. He has a roll Of
thousand-dollar bills, which he had
found that morning in an old suit.
Take this and have a museum on
me-" he says to the professor.
But, in real life, it is the professor
who says to the university controller,
Have an education building on me-"
My friend VIII Irwin, Herbert
Hoover's classmate at Stanford Uni
versity fills me in on the story Of
Prof. Elwood Cubberly's gift Of
$3.50, 900 building to Stanford, cur
rently announced by President Ray
Lyman Wilbur.
Prof. Cubberly, who was Dad"
Cubberly in the Stanford tradition,
was pretty much George AIDES
classic prototype of. the college pro-
fessor, although he wasn't stopped.
His salary wasn't impressive, as he
became head and later dean of the
education department.
He didn't particularly need
money, but he liked to see loose
money put to work. In his spare
time, he turned his attention to a
study of wealth and its possible or
probable increment. He concluded
that the era OF expansion in Amer
lea would continue for a long time,
and that any careful investment in
its industrial development would
be sound. He wrote to various cor
porations for descriptions of their
productive enterprises, and data on
their ratio Of earnings so security
prices.
He then began investing. In 1928,
he handed DR.. Wilbur $1,000, and
said he would add to it later to carry
through a certain secret dream"
OF his, for the university. In 1929.
the absent-minded professor, just q
gulleless innocent in the business
world had an idea that stock prices
were too high. Without any expert
advice, he sold all his securities, and,
as it just happened, at the peak
price. Then, when they were at the
bottom of the depression slough, he
absent-mindedly bought them back
again.
So, in 33, he handed DR.. Wilbur
$4OO, 900 worth Of securities, and his
own sketch of a beautiful building
he likes to dabble in architecture.
When young Ellwood Cubberly
was working in his fathers drug
store in Andrews, Ind, his folks
wanted him to be a business man.
He said he though he might have q
knack for it, but he wanted to be an
educator. He and his wife live hap
pily on the campus, on the pro-
fessor's pension, neighbors and
friends Of Herbert Hoover. George
AIDES patronizing millionaire could
probably get a dime for a cup Of
coffee off the professor any day he
needs 1t.

chau area was held by the Reich
until 1914, when the Germans were
expelled by the Japanese, who seized
the territory as World War prize.
In 1900, two years after the Kiau-
chau affair, the Kaisers Minister at
Peking, Baron Won Ketteler, who
was married to Miss Ledyard OF
Detroit, was murdered by Boxers.
The Germans decided to chastise
the Chinese, under much the same
circumstances as those which mark
current Nazi cruelties to the Jews.
At least when a German expedi-
tionary force left Kiel on punitive
mission to the Far East, the German
Emperor publicly ordered his COM
manders to emulate the Huns in
handling the Chinese. His instruc-
tions were carried out to the letter.
Subsequent operations Of the Ger
man troops in Chill province, in
cluding wholesale loot and indis-
criminate destruction Of life and
property, aroused international pro-
test. After William lis avenging
horde had made the German name
a kissing and a byword throughout
China, Berlin formulated further
demands. Although the Chinese had
already held elaborate ritual cere-
monies of expiation and executed
Won Ketteler's assassin, En-hai,
Germany required them to send
member of the Manchu imperial
family, Prince Chun, to Europe, with
an extensive encourage, to kow-tow
before the Kaiser at Potsdam.
One of the blackmail aspects of
the $400 900 900 fine imposed on Ger
man Jews, on which little emphasis
has been placed, is the plot to obtain
sorely needed foreign exchange. OF
the evaporating gold reserve Of the
Reichsbank, only a fragment rep
resents foreign balances, which the
Germans urgently require to finance
their export business and purchases
of raw materials. The notorious
expectation Of Hitler, Goering and
Goebbels Is that German Jews will
largely get the wherewithal to pay
their fines from co-rengionists and
relatives abroad. Under existing
Reich law any funds so derived are
automatically transferred to the
Reichsbapk on arrival in Germany,
thereby providing an unexpected,
but not altogether unplanned, wind
fall in the shape Of for foreign ex-
change.
