No One On 'the Line Now Whfin an operator an swers a suhscriher who says that his boll rang and no ono answered, she says, "Will you excuse it, please?1 ' If tho party called wishes to know why his bell rang the operator answers, "There is no one on your lino now." She does not know why. It might have happened many ways. , Why it Happens Usually in such a case, however, a subscriber has called the wrong number, and after noticing his mis take, has signaled "Cen tral" for the right num ber, after she had rung your tolephone.

Terrific speed, heat, and the glaring, sanded brick track that burned up or dinary tires, were encountered at the Indianapolis Sweepstakes. Rough, perilous mountain passes blistering desert sands and every other road hardship were successfully combat ed1 in the Panama-Pacific Road Race. A combination of these conditions acted as judge and jury in the fight for tire supremacy at both the Tacoma and Santa Monica races. Firestone won all; with the same tires you buy from the Firestone dealer.
