tractlns attantlon, not only
for the remarkable work ahe la dln; on
a taur with the Chicago Grand Opera,
company, but becauae of the story that
ahe has Delected aa her future mate an
other songbird of the same onranlxatlon.
Very recently Mlas Garden ma Inter
viewed by Louise Graham of tha Cleve
land Leader, -with the following; result:
"Others can sin?, still more can act,
but Mary Garden ftrlps. She wind her
self around people, ahe permeates every
thing aho touchea . A Shrug of one of her
shoulders speaks volumes. Impulsive,
VInd-hearted, tenacious and pugnacious. It
necessary, but a sood loafer when the
strain of singing Is over, with moods
changlnc like Hshtnlntr, a nimble mind
and a qulok. wit, Mary Garden- fascinates
and It Is that which 'irets over.' It Is that
which keeps other slncer-tctresses from
the coveted place In art. musical or
otherwise, for that matter.
"Miss Garden had been slnnlns 'Don
Qulchotte' when ahe received me In her
dressing room at the close of the per
formance. She had just lost $1,000 through
a brokon. concert engagement .in Ohio, due
to conflicting dates and distances, and I
expected to find her worried, If not In
tears over It. Tears? Bahl Tears are
for women without brains. 'The divine
Mary might smash a wlnd6w or a head,
but cry never.
" 'I feel like a fool every time I pull
on a pair of white kid glove and amble
up to a concert platform I'm through
with that kind of business forever,' And
with her It became a closed Incident.
" 'Forget It and let's have tea, com
manded the prospective defendant In a
breach of contract suit, 'I like tea better
than anything In the world except my
five friends.'
"Naturally a woman who has been
boosted and knocked In a profession as
filled with Jealousy as an egg Is filled
with meat should have been stripped of
any Illusions pertaining to that fragile
thing called friendship. But Mary
Garden can afford to be generous ahe la
a boxoffice success. Only pygmies re
member their enemies.
"But it was the enumeration of these
five friends that again demonstrated the
unusual mind. Instead of the blanket ex
pression 'my friend' ahe analyzed the
quallites of each which would do credit to a
Harvard university psychologist. Not the
least Interesting was the part she herself
must play In making these widely dif
ferent friends.
" 'Yea,' ahe commented, 'there 1 more
skill In keeping friends than In making
them. Anyone can gain a confidence, but
few can keep 1(. More tact should be
used with friends than w(h acquaint
ances. There woujd be less family fric
tion If society manners -were the rule of
households. Why keep our ibest for the
tines wh6 se us but once In awhile?'
"Msi Garden believes that an American
i;lrl who goes abroad, to study1 should
have nothing In the way of luxuries.
" U Is the feeling that one must work
to win that makes artists. Taxis, sup
'pers and fine clothes are not for the girl
who must '.njalte her own. way.''

Goodyear Factory
Breaking Records
for Production
Some statistician out In the factory of
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company,
Akron, O., has figured out that one week's
tire production of the company, If plied
on top of each other, figuring an average
of four Inches height per casing, would
make a stack many feet higher than
Pike's peak.
When, a month or so ago, a third shift
of workers began operations at the Good
year factory and tho wheels resumed
their humming twenty-four hours a day,
the management predicted that within a
short time the tire production would be
brought to 10,000 a day. This refers to
pneumatic tire casings only, and, does not
include the motor truck tires, carriage
tires, bicycle tires, etc., .of which Good
year produces a large quantity. The rec
ord of tire production for five days of the
last week shows that the 10,000 a day pre
diction is rapidly being made to "come
true." No Saturday figures are Included
here, for the reason that Saturday after
noon is a holiday at the Goodyear fac
tory, and there Is no Saturday night
work. Tho week's pneumatic tire produc
tion ran as follows:
Monday, 8.296; Tuesday, 8,808; Wednes
day, S.637; Thursday, 9.412: Friday, 8,284; a
total for the five days of 44,417 pneumatic
tires, enough for the equipment of more
than 11,000 cars. Goodyear men maintain
that this output la more than twice aa
great as that of any other tire factory In
the world for the same period 'of time,
and the figures are pointed out as proof
of the growth of Goodyear sale.

gang finds that one of his men is not
doing satisfactory work. Instead of dis
missing the individual outright, he must
send him-to a clearing house where iris

There his ability for another kind of
work, will be tested. These shifts may
take place a half a dozen times before
the man Is finally let out or retained.
NEARLY EVERY LINE OF
BUSINESS USES TRUCKS
The Kissel Motor Car company of
Hartford, Wis., has Just issued a new
motor truck book containing more than
860 Illustrations of various Klaael Kar
truck models In service. Looking over
this publication, for (he first time many
will realize more than before, what an
Important figure in transportation the
truck is getting to be.
There Is scarcely a line of business
that doesn't use trucks, and this nw
Kissel Kar book doesn't merely say so,
but proves It by the photographs of
trucka In actual use.
FORD SYSTEM ASSISTS THE
WORKMEN WHO ARE UNFIT
Conditions In the vicinity of the Ford
Motor company's plant have ono more
resumed their normal aspect. No longer
do thousands of men besiege the entrances
on Manchester avenue In the hope of
securing positions under the new wage
regime. They have finally come to
realize that no such casual and hap
hazard method Is being followed In add'
Ing to the working force.
The painstaking manner In which the
new wage scale waa evolved and the
thorough way in which the entire plan Is
being fortified by elaborate follow-up work
Is illustrated by several features. One of
the most significant relate to the
handling of employes In the shop to dis
cover by thorough test their fitness for
rork In the various departments and thus
protect them against a seeming failure
to make good and a summary -dismissal

Packard Sales Jump
During Last Month
A reflecting an increasing demand for
high grade vehicles It Is announced that
the total Packard sales during March,
including both motor carriages and
trucks were greater than any other cor
responding month since the Packard
Motor Car company started In business.
The sales of motor carriages were 36
per cent greater than any other March
In the history of the company, while the
record for truck sales surpasses that of
any other month In the fiscal year more
than S76O.O0Q having been Invested In
Packard motor truck chassis by business
men.
The demand for Packard "i-38's" and
"4-48,s" was divided In a ratio corre
sponding to the rate of production of the
two sizes of motor carriages. The sales
thus far Indicate that both cars will be
sold out In the early summer. Already
three-fourths of all Packard cara avail
able for the current season have been dls-
posed of tn customers.
these tires are giving more than the av
eragermllease in this service.
"Innumerable Teallent compounds have
been tested and discarded because they
lacked toughness and would not with
stand the severe abrasion in road ser
vice. And many wear resisting tread
stocks have been abandoned becauae they
lacked the utmost reailency. But In tho
Goodrich resilient .wireless tire, there ta
combined both durability and resiliency
without sacrificing either."

GOODRICH RESILIENT TIRES
. "The selection of the Goodrich Tesilent
wireless tires for the G. V. electric
trucks operated by the National Elec
tric Lamp association In Cleveland ,to
carry Mazda bulbs, Is a splendid tribute
to the resiliency of our solid tires," says
Mr. 8. V. Norton, manager of the motor
truck tire sales department of the B. F.

"Before adopting our tires on their O.

Come See the Stripped Chassis
ANDLER
LIGHT
WEIGHT
SIX
WE want you to know just how the Chandler is built. We wont you to
know these details of design and construction that -make it distinctively
the highest value light weight six. We want you to-see the workmanship
that goes into the car. Come see the chassis and satisfy yourself that all we
have said about the Chandler is plain, simple truth.
Our Chassis Display Begins Tuesday, April 7th
The Chandler stripped chassis was a feature of
all the big Automobile Shows this year.
The importance of its exhibit at the Shows was
emphasized by the fact that other light weight six
manufacturers did not exhibit thoir chesses. In
fact, at some exhibits visitor were requested
not to raise the hood.
Well, it's different with the Chandler. There is
not a single thing cut out of this car to make
its price possible and everything in it is of the
finest quality.
We not only want you to look under the hood
and see this beautiful long-stroke motor, mounted
on its cast aluminum base extending from frame
to frame and providing separate pedestals for
magneto, generator and starting motor.
We want you to see all of the chasals. It's
worth your study.
Don't take too much for granted in wlectlng
your six. Chandler performance are convincing.
The Chandler has made good in such a sensa
tional way because it is built right.
It Is not a modification or abbreviation of a larger
model. It is iuBt what the Chandler Company
Started out to build, and we believe it is the best
car built, regardless of price.
See the stripped chassis. That's the proof.
You will appreciate the superior materials.
You will see how, by the ubb of pressed ;steel
and cast aluminum instead of heavy forglngs,
the Chandler has attained light weight with
greatest strength. You will see at a glance the
beauty of the finished workmanship
Tho success of the Chandler is not surprising.
And it is universal.
Our judgment of this car Is supported bythejudg
mcnt of other old established distributors from
coast to coast, men who are not handling any but
highest-value cars. Our judgment is supported,
too, by every owner of a Chandler and by every
automobile engineer who has studied this car.
And our judgment will be supported by your judg
ment when you have seen the'Chandler chassis
and when yau have seen the Chandler perform.

How Goodyear
Fights Loose Treads
After we ended rim-cutting wo took up
loose treads another major tire trouble.
At the base of the tread in every tire
there must be a breaker strip. In all tires
save Goodyeara this strip is made of
closely-woven fabric.
And road use often
separates this breaker
strip from the rubber.
We bought the rights
to a patent fabric which
we picture here. It cost
us $50,000, and it forms
our breaker strip.
This fabric rivets it
self to the .rubber. The
tread rubber is forced down through these
openings, while in a plastic state, forming
hundreds of large rubber rivets. Then the
whole tire is vnlcanlted
en masse.
This lessens by 60
per cent the risk of this
tread separation. And
no other maker em
ploys it
Millions Saved
That is one way in
which we save tire
users millions of dol
lars yearly.
Another is our "On
Air" cure. No-Rim-

Cut tires are Seal-cured on air bags, under
actual road conditions. This saves the
countless blow-outs due to wrinkled fab

In these tires alone
is rim-cutting ended
