if anything. the Vikings were aided
by the delay, in that it gives Jim

Each of Circuits

The most ambitious big league
exhibition schedule the Washington
baseball club ever arranged for

cision to play other American

Soxs return to the custom of staging
intra- League games, the Mats will
meet five American and five Ma
tional League teams during the last
three weeks in March All games
will be played at the Mats base in
Orlando.
A late decision by the St. Louis
Browns and Boston Braves to train
in Florida gave them the oppor-
tunity to get on the Griffe' schedule,
while other games will be played
with Cleveland and Detroit Of the
American League and Brooklyn, ST.
Louis, New York and Cincinnati of
the senior circuit.
The Mats again will come north
with the Philadelphia Phillies as
exhibition opponents, the first two
games with Doc Prothro's gang be-
ing played in Orlando the 4th and
5th of April. No dates of the trip
north were released.
Mr.. Griffith said that his pitchers
and catchers would report to the
Orlando camp around the 23d OF
February. two weeks before the first
exhibition with the Yankees, on
March 9. The rest of the squad
will be ordered to camp around

benefit of every one. In addition to
large amounts for defense purposes,
enough rubber has been allocated to
prevent hardship to the consumer. And
certain improvements in tire produc,
ton and distribution are contributing
to efficiency.
Add to this the great advance that
has been made in the production of
synthetic rubber in the past year. ..
Chemigum, for example, the synthetic
rubber developed by Goodyear, has
already been put to use in many
places where it is proving superior to
natural rubber.
The rubber industry can point with
pride to the fact that tire prices are
lower today than they were at the time
the war broke out. For example, on
September l, 1889, 6.OO.16 Goodyear
G.3 All.Weather Tire listed at $l4.35,
including Federal Excise Tax. Today
that same tire, improved in quality,
lists at $l3.95, including Federal Excise
Tax. This despite the fact that the
Federal Excise Tax was $.48 then and
is now $1.O5.

All in all, we can still say sincerely
that we believe there will be enough
tires for those who need them, if every.
body helps, and if something unforeseen
does not develop. If you need tires,
now is good time to buy them be.
cause tires put on in cold weather &C.
tually give up to 20 per cent more
miles of tread wear than tires put on
in hot weather.
But if you don't need new tires, our
best advice to you is the same as it was
last summer - do everything you can
to make the tires you now have last
longer. Several suggestions are printed
below to help you do this.
To summarize we at Goodyear
will continue to make as many tires as
we can, and they will all be Goodyear
quality.
You can do your part by getting the
longest possible service out of your
tires, and by buying new tires only
when the need actually arises.

Religious Unity Held

Evil Abroad in World
Lack Of Cooperation Cove
Hitler Victories, Speaker
Tells Disciples of Christ

The sinister forces of evil now
abroad in the world can be stopped
through religious cooperation, the
Rev. Ernest S. Worden of Martins
burg, w. Va, today told the 64th
| annual convention of the Capital
area Disciples of Christ in the Co.
lumbia Heights Christian Church.
Hitler has been victorious thus far
because of the lack of cooperation
in the conquered nations, he said.
The best defense against the forces
of evil is "a forward movement by
all churches"
1t is the duty of state missions
to carry the message of religion to
all peoples who are searching the
truth. The world needs a message
of unity and the word of Christ
and state missions are increasingly
needed to promote this effort, he
declared.
Supreme Duty of Church.
j. Eric Carlson, general secre-
tary of the National Benevolent As
sociation, discussed the social task of
the modern church and declared.
1T is the supreme duty of the
church to speak the word of Christ
and exemplify it,"
Mr.. Carlson said there should be
no social and individual philos-
ophy but only one gospel for all.
Spreading of this gospel is now the
greatest social task of the church
in war-torn world.
| I'VE must see to it that all men
everywhere have a life that is the
will of God" he declared.
Approves Election of Officers.
The convention approved election
| of officers for the Capital Area

George M. Breslin, attorney for
Bioff, told the Federal Court in Los
Angeles, the Associated Press re-
ported, that Bioff was the only man
who could prevent strikes when
screen technicians were assigned to
produce military training pictures
A continuance of the trial was asked
on this ground.
1t was admitted at the Justice De-
partment that Government counsel
had agreed to brief postponement,
but it was denied that Bioff S alleged
Importance to defense training films
was the reason. The continuance
was described as "a routine matter.
occasioned by the desire of the
prosecution for additional time TO
prepare the case.
Bioff. chairman of the Conference
OF Studio Unions, is charged with
evading $4,000 in income taxes for
1886 and 1887. Last September Bioff
finished serving six-month term
in the Chicago House of Correction
on an l8-year-old pandering charge,
which he was said to have avoided
by fleeing Illinois while under an
appeal bond.
Of1clals of the Labor Division oi
the Office of Production Manage
ment said today that so far as the
o. P. M. is concerned they know OF
no assignment Bioff has been giver
in connection with threatened strike,
affecting national defense.
No. o. P. M authorities here have
been asked for an official opinion
as to Bioff's value to national de.
