There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires. 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.

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."

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."

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
