It re sults from War conditions. These leading tires built of extra-fine rubber, in the same way as always are selling today at June prices. You will find today a very wide difference between moat tire prices and Goodycars. Due to Quick Action Early in August when war began the world's rubber markets 6eeined closed to us. Rubber prices doubled almost over night. Men could see no way to pay for rubber abroad, and no way to bring it in. -We, like others in that panic were forced to higher prices. But wo have since gone back to prices we charged before the war, and this is how we did it : We had men in London nnd Singapore when the war broke out. The larger part of the world's rubber 'supply- comes through there. We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub ber. They bought before the advance 1,500, 000 pounds of tho finest rubber there. Nearly all this is now on the way to us. And it means practically all of the extra-grade rubber obtainable abroad. Today wo have our own men in Colombo, Singapore and Para. Those are tho world's chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well assured of a constant supply, and our pick of the best that's produced. We were first on the ground. Wo were quick est in action. As a result, we shall soon have in storage an almost record supply of this extra grade of rubber. And wo paid about Juno prices. Now Inferior Grades Cost Double About tho only crude rubber available now. for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times, the best tiro makers refuso it. Much of it had bpen rejected. But that "off rubber" now bcIIs for much more than wo'paid for tho best. The results are these : Tire prices in general are far in advance of Goodyears. And many tiro makers, short of supplies, will bo forced to uso second-grade rubber. Be Careful Now In Goodyears we pledgo you tho same grade tiro as always. And that grado won for Good years thej top placo in Tiredom the largest sale in the world. And, for tho time being, our prices are the same as before tho war. We shall try to keep them there. We accept no excessive orders, but dealers will bo kept supplied. And wo charge them, until further notice, only ante-bellum prices. That means that Goodyears the best tires built are selling way below other tires. 1 OODypYEAR No-Rim-Cut Tires With AlI-YVcather Treads or Smooth iRESTEHS ft SPY James A. Patten Tells of His Es cape From Europe. Chlcagoan and His Wife Suffered Hardships In Their Thrilling Flight From Carlsbad Through Belgium. New York. James A. Patten, the former wheat operator of Chicago, who was one of the American refugees re turning by the Red Star liner Finland, told a thrilling story of his escape from Germany after war had been de clared, With Mrs. Patten ho left Carls bad on August 2 and traveled via Herbesthal and Liege, where they ar Tlved Just as hostilities had begun. "We left Carlsbad for Nuremburg by train, as the authorities took my auto mobile," said Mr. Patten. "We did not "know the war had broken out then as no news of the situation was given out In Carlsbad. "Trouble began as soon as we struck the German border. We rcachod Nuremburg at 9 p. m. and werp promptly turned out of tho train and arrested as spies. My wife and I were taken to the police station and cross examined. I showed what credentials. I had, but it was not until the Ameri can consul there showed up that we were released, two hours later. A great crowd which had gathered out side, expecting possibly to see us ex ecuted, hooted us as we left the sta tion. "Wo were able to get a train to Cologne, however, Into Which city thou sands of troops were pouring when we arrived. We got a train supposedly for Ostend, but we were stopped at Herbesthal on tho Belgian border. Wo had to get out of the train at 10 p m. It was raining and we had nothing to eat and no placo to go. "There was no chance to get another train, but about one o'clock tho next morning I managed to get hold of a one-horse cart driven by a peasant, who said he would take us to Vervlers, where he thought we could get a train for Liege. He gave us some crusts of bread which was the first we had to eat for 18 hours. On the road we passed tho most pit iful procession of German refugees fleeing from Belgium. Some were in vehicles, but the majority were trudg ing in tho dust, pushing or pulling their baggage In carts. Women with babies at tho breast were walking In the noonday sun. "Prom Vervlers we proceeded by another cart toward Liege. We had not progressed thro miles when we came upon a party of Belgian engineers mining tho road. They had great piles of dynamite stacked there ready to plant In the ditches they wero dig ging across tho roadway. "They advised us to go to Llego by another road; wo hastened to do so. "Two hours later another party of Americans wero halted at that very spot by a skirmish between tho Bel gians and uhlans. They wero forced to Uo In n ditch while tho Belgians fired over them. Next day 3,000 Ger mans were killed by the same mines wo had seen tho engineers planting "Soon after wo got a train for Os ttfnd. We did not see any of tho fight ing at Liege, but could hear tho m ing." One Argument. "Is your car a good one?" "Discriminating people choose them," said tho glib automobile sales man. "More of our cars stolen than any other make." Choice In Divorce, Maud Would you recommend the lawyer who got jou your last divorce?

MUST KNOW HUMAN NATURE functions of the Novelist Are of the Highest Order, According to Sir Gilbert Parker. Although Sir Gilbert Parker has en Joyed a popular vogue such as Is al most never granted to a serious nov elist, there nro few writers in the world who take a loftier view of the -writer's functions than dejos Parker. In a icccnt article at tho time of the Issue of h's now no""' "You Nev er Know Your Luck," Parker observed that, keen though tho politician's eye must be If he Is to obtain popularity and manage men, it is as nothing com pared with that of the writer, who must observe the characteristics of human nature Infinitely more acutely. Says Gilbert: "He must noto not only the symptoms which may Indi cate a passing functional derangement of the moral and mental constitution, ho must go Infinitely deeper If he wants to know character. Ho must find out, It may be, tho moro or less obscuro thing, tho dlosase or corrup tion lying behind tho many obvious symptoms, and It is probable that ho will find his key In some small, elusive thing which Is a danger signal to the trained mind to which Is given also tho trained eyo. "To a registering eyo, an eye which sees and photographs, thero comes, under stress of tho senses and the 11 luminatlon which follows, a moving plcturo of innumerable things in thoir proper placos, tho automatic memory of the thousand visualized objects." pSfelQTOnDD Memory In like n purao If It bo over full tlint It cannot shut, all will drop out of It.

Scientists tell us that "beforo this old earth had cooled tho water, far diffused In space, as gas, was invisible, but when the temperaturo had fall en It began to nesumo tho form of vapor, vis ible as clouds, had t hero been eyes to see It," Then enmo tho age of rain and atonriH so wild that wo havo no conception of their fury, and tho panting earth made placo for tho waters. All living things must have water to sustain Ufo and as thinking beings wo demand that it-bo pure. Tho amount of water tho nvorago Individual noods in civilized Hfo de pends largely upon his habits, occu pation, as woll as tho character of his residence. It is then of n good doal of Importance that our drinking wator should ho tested as to Its bacterial life. Deep springs and wells, ns well as mountain streams and somo lakes nro practically freo from gorm life, but by careless handling, oxposuro to the air and light may become laden with bacteria. Of tho thousands of bacteria which are teeming about us oven In tho cleanest places it Is but nn Insignifi cant number which are at all injuri ous.

DISH WASHING AS AN ART. Tho woman who "Bald: "I wash off In the dish water all tho culturo and refinement I can put on," cortalnly had a very thin coat of. either. Dish washing, Is, as on Oriental onco said, "pow erful constant." Dish washing bocomos a drudgery when no sys tem Is usnd In doing It For ono thing It Is a good plan to havo all cooking utenalls washed and put away before the tablo dishes aro dono. This la .often easy to do when tho dish Is first omptlod as it washes easier and thero Is no accumulation to do aftor all tho cooking Is dono. It this plan Is followed the bugbear of a large sink of kitchen utoiiBlls to wash will bo overcome. You hear tho busy woman Bay, "Well, I can't stop to wash dishes when I'm cooking." If sho realized that sho saves half tho time, sho will at least try tho method. The dish Is In the hand, tho water Is handy and n few strokes will cleansa tho dish and It may be put on tho wlielf at onco, Tho Initial step In dlshwnshlug Is to scrnpo and, stack the dishes so that thoy aro ready for washing. An excellent scraper for dishes la a hand ful of tissue paper; the ordinary kind of a roll may bo kopt In tho kitchen, whero It is nlso flno for using when greasing dishes. Vessels in which fl3h is cooked should bo soaked in cold water In which Boda Is dissolved, thon boiled with a little vlnegnr In tho water. A wlro dishcloth and a scrubbing bruBh aro both indlsponsablo for aids. The brush can ho used to scrub grat ors and save tho fingers. Tho glnsBwuro Is tho first to go through tho process. Wator that Is hot and slightly soapy should bo used then rinse in clear wator and wlpo them at onco. The silver may follow, but usually tho cups and HaucerB aro best washed next, ns thero Is always some butter on tho silver. Glassos and pitchers which" havo been used for milk should bo rinsed with cold water. Cut-glass should nover bo put Into vory, cold or hot water. Flno china should bo carefully handled and nover plied carelessly. In all that time, though ho had had millions In his caro, ho never Io3t a paBsongor and never had a serious accldont.
