Wind Favors Allies
In Attack with Gas
(Correspondence of tha Associated Press.)
PARIS. Feb. lA-Very htmiA
now of the effects of suffocating gaa at
the front though the official communique
frequently mentions attacks in which It
haa been used. The report some months
agtf. that 4.000 French goldlora succumbed
to It in the Argonne through neglect
to distribute protecting masks, seems to
hare been forgotten, and In the absence
of other reported casualties anxiety seems
to have disappeared. Abba Mortaux, di
rector of the Bourse's observatory, ex
plain why the Germans are at a great
disadvantage on account of the winds,
and how tha allies could dominate them
in that kind of warfare If they taw fit
"Tho battlefront excepting; bet s een
Noyon and Verdun, runs In a generally
northerty-eoutherly direction, the rest of
it east and west, while the north of
Franc and Belgium are an the year
round subjected to general Atlantic winds;
that Is to aay, wind carrying between
west and south weat," he says. -My eaV
culatlons. based on tha central meteoro
logical bureau statist! ca, show that only
twenty-eight tlmea in 100 during the en
tire win tar on an average, haa tha wind
blown from the oast southeast or north
east; consequently In the winter sejiaon
a German gaa attack haa only twenty
eight chances In 100 of uoooaa, while
an attack by the allies with the same arm
haa seventy-two chances In 100 on the
fronts running from north to south. On
the front running from east to west the
conditions are less favorable to the allies,
the north .winds being in the ratio of
thirty In 100 In winter, and forty In hs) in
spring, thirty-eight In 100 In summer and
twenty-eight In 100 In autumn."
Summing up his calfnilatlons. Abbe
Moreaux thinks the Germans have leas
than one chance In three ths year around,
while the allies have more than two
chances In three of effective us of suf

Why Goodyear Tires
Cost Less in the End
NE reason for Goodyear
leadership and for the
growth of Goodyear sales
is this:
Buyers have found that the tire of lower
price is not necessarily the tire of lowest
cost.
Service and mileage, ith the least trouble
and expense, are the things that all men
seek in tires.
The tire buyers of America have learned
that true economy in tires, as in every
thing else, is a matter of service, not price;
and that Goodyear Tires do give better
service and do cost less in the end..
