The dust or mud, the grease and grime, the tedious delay all are things we like to avoid. But the time to think about these things is when you buy the tire not after the blow-out occurs. For some tires blow out much more easily than others. Outward appearance counts for little. It is the material in the tire and the construction of it that determines its strength. Goodyear recognizes these facts and all Goodyear Tires are made of long staple cotton. Take the 30 x 3 Cros3 Rib Clincher Tire here illus trated, for example. It is made of Arizona cotton, the fibres of which average 14 inches long. Many 30 x ZlA clincher tires are made of short staple cotton from 4 inch to lyi inches long. This means less strength and greater danger of blow-outs more tire troubles. Yet thi3 high grade guaranteed Goodyear Tire C03ts only $10.95. You can buy some tires for even less than this but none with the fine materials and construction of this one. Can you afford to take a chance on more frequent tire troubles for the sake of the slightly lower price of cheaper tares?

FOCH PRAISES AMERICAN WAY Pride of France Well Pleased With Enthusiastic Welcomes Through out the Country. Marshal Foch of France, has given to Commandant de Mierry, formerly of his stuff, the task of writing the Impressions of the generalissimo on his recent visit to America as the guest of the American Legion. Marshal Foch has made it a life-long rule not to write for publications of any sort. In speukhig of his trip across the American continent, Marshal Foch said: "There was always the same enthusiasm, the same" warmth, all through the weeks that I travelled, no matter whether we were In the West, the North, tho South or the East. No matter what the weather, thousands of men, women and children were al ways ready with a cordial greeting." The Marshal paid an especially high tribute to the "cordiality and friend ship of the American Legion," which he said, "rendered easy the Journey of more than 20,000 kilometers in forty five days."

FUNERAL BEARERS ON STRIKE Incident That Enlightened British Pub lic Concerning- Profession About Which Little Is Known. Tho strlko of funeral bearers In Hull calls attention to a profession of which comparatively llttlo is known. People are apt to look upon tho somber figures who walk beside tho henrso and carry the coflln to tho j-gravesldo us simply a part of tho un dertaker's outfit, but In reality theso men are a profession to themselves. Usunlly they are sinull tradesmen, writes a correspondent, or out-of-works ready to earn a few shillings In this way. Every undertaker has his own little band who can be relied upon to come whenever u funorul Is on. Generally the undertaker provides tho tall hats, a fact which accounts for tho grotesquo fitting of some of the hats, but tho black suit must be pro vided or borrowed by tho man himself. Tho fee varies from 75 cents to $1.25, according to tho district, and there are men who can make $5 a week and upwards out of this side line. At Hull tho feo has been $1.25.

It seems probable that tho discovery of a flffw dye by u British concern will1 have an Importunt influence .on tho dyeing Industry, for this dye has lh peculiar property of coloring artificial silk fabrics without affecting cotton. Should a mixed fabric of cotton and silk bo dipped In this dye, the silk will! tnko tho color. Tho cotton in Uie fab rlc may then be colored by washing la n dye that affects only cotton. Thl combined dyeing makes It possible to produco a party-colored effect In mixed fabrics after they are woven. Popu lar Mechanics Magazine. Half a Dozen Flnea Did It.
