They are already planning to use
the first good weather on a Sunday

CASH WHEAT ALSO DROPS OFT
The report of French and English
reverseg in the war gone sent the
wheat prices tumbling still farther,
the net loss on the May and July
options being 5 cents, with a loss
of close to 12 cents sine Thursday.
However, the decline was a windfall
for most of the Omaha grain men.
especially those who had been long
on wheat.
Two days ago when the Omaha
dealera saw prices start down, they
let loose of their long wheat and
began to eell abort on both May and
July, closing their deals and re
selling. At a result It Is asserted
that there Is hardly a firm doing
business on the Omaha Grain ex
change that has sot made $10,000
to $50,000 since the middle of the
week.
Omaha cash wheat followed the option,

S'athan F, Haworth. a former Fort
Ddger, is out on parole after serving
fourteen years of a life sentence for kill
ing Thomaa Bandall, a night watchman
of I. y ton, Utah, on the night of March
2. 1899.
Haworth waa first sentenced to death.
Through the efforts of his lawyers, bow
ever, the sentence was commuted to life
Imprisonment In 1991 Haworth escaped
from prison with ano'hf lifer In a break
which cost one convict his life and In
which three guards and five convicts
were wounded.
Haworth stoutly rmlntalns his Inno
cence. He was convicted on a confession
he Is alleged to have made, but which
he says he did not make.
During the sixteen-year fight for lib
erty llaworth's sged mother and his wife
have died. Hla father, formerly a promi
nent contractor here, now lives In Don

Said the Critic
66
Give us TRACTION,-
without Friction!

l is m ml
teliJll It. ml
WHEN there arose, in the Tire Industry, a sound of
Many Voices. each clamoring that its Owner had
the very best Non-Skid" design that ever did happen
on a Tire, our Professional Critic said, with much Chuckle, Give
us Traction without Friction I"
We are glad to have met that "Poser" more than half-way.
Here's how and why.
Makers of "Non-Skid" Tires, in a mad effort to produce maxi
mum Traction, have done the very natural thing of being too suc
cessful. Too successful in gaining Traction, not merely through "Non
Skid" designs, but through providing a sandpapery texture in Tire
Tread Rubber which grinds against the pavement, wearing out as it
grinds.
Of course such Treads HAD to be made very thick, and the
Tires very HEAVY, in order not to wear out too soon under such
constant grinding, with such constant strain on the Rubber Adhesive
between the many layers of Fabric in their necessarily cumbrous
construction.
Of course, such Tires were heavy in that part of the Car below
the Springs where Engineers say that every pound of weight counts
aa more than twenty pounds placed above the springs.
But beyond all this, their great thickness, the many layers of
Fabric, and the stout Tread of gritty, sandpapery. Rubber, made them
naturally stiff, unyielding, hard to bend, ana conform where obstacles
were struck, hard to drive with moderate power, and slow to coast
down hills (which proved all this).
The intention was good, but the result was a relatively hot,
stiff, Tire, with a Traction-wave to overcome that went far toward
boosting the Sale3 of Gasolene.
Well,
Making the Silvertown Cord Tire, taught us a few lessons
in the manufacture Oi lighter, cooler, more flexible and enduring
FABRIC Tires. '
Ti
HE Silvertown" Tire, you know, cains its marvellous
Speed (and the Coasting qualities that demonstrate its
Speed) primarily throusrn havinsr mu TWO layers of
.. - - - r -
M)ras, laia transversely.
Of course, these TWO layers bend more readily than Five, Six,
or Seven Layers of Fabric do (or of Cord would).
But, we found it necessary, in order to conserve that flexibility
(in the Two-cord construction), to put a Rubber Tread over it
which was equally flexible, equally stron g, and elastic enough to act
as a sort of spring between the Earth and the Tire-casing, when
Brakes wero thrown on at stopping, or clutch thrown in at starting.
So, we had to devise practically a new kind cf Rubber, tor
this purpose TWO YEARS AGO.
This new type of black "Barefoot Rubber" now does for
GOODRICH Tires a work similar to that done by the wonderful
Alloys of Steel and Bronze in modern Motor Car construction.
It mu Uiplies Rubber Efficiency, for Tire purposes, while drw
ing its Weight, and without increasing its Bulk, or its Cost to you.
