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 most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Early in August—when war begnn—tho
world's rubber markets seemed closed to us.
liubber 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 we have since gone back to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it:
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
world's rubber supply comes through there.
We cabled them to buv up the pick of the rub-
ber. They bought—before the advance—1,500,-
000 pounds of the 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 we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the 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. We were quick-
est in action. As a result, we shall soon have in
storage an almost record supply of this extr
grude of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubher available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these:
Tire prices in general are far in advance of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of
supplies, will be forced to use second-grade
rubber.
Be Careful Now
Tn Goodyeajs we pledge, you the same grade
tire as always. And that grade won for Good-
years the top place in Tiredom—the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being, our pricea are the
same as before tho war. We shall try to keep
them there.
We accept no excessive orders, but dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge them,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Goodyears—the best
tires built—are selling way below other tires.

Both Are Getting Their First
Real Test in This Con-
flict in Europe.
MAY FIGHT ONE ANOTHER
Each Invention Now Is Prepared to
Pull the Other's Sting, But Their
Actual Value Is Yet to
Be Demonstrated.
Every modern war has been (ought
With new weapons, and for the last
century there have been countless in-
ventions for the carrying on of war-
fare in a particularly destructive man-
ner, with the philanthropic intent that
war was fast becoming so horrible and
terrible that It must soon pass away
from the face of the earth, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
But it happened that as soon as a
particularly horrible contrivance was
Invented and Introduced into armies
end navies Inventors immediately
busied themselves by offsetting and
discounting its probable effect. Con-
sequently war not only has not passed
away, but we still have it with us.
Thus It is that each big war, after be-
ing heralded as the world's last con-
flagration, is found upon examination
to be false, and the end of war is not
yet arrived.
Trying Out Inventions.
In the present war in Europe there
are being tried under the conditions of
actual hostilities many improvements
end inventions that previously have
been tried only under laboratory con-
ditions. Their real worth will only be
discovered at the close of the conflict
No army or navy engaged in the
present conflict In Europe but what is
possessed of nearly all of the modern
Improvements made since 1870. The
submarine, which was a dream tn 18G5,
is owned by the navy of the smallest
power. It is true that single subma-
rines are not expected to accomplish
much in a real struggle, so the larger
navies of the great powers have fleets
of submarines. The aeroplane and the
dirigible balloon are to be found in the
possession of all armies in Europe to-
day, yet they, too, are on!y expected to
be of real service when they are pos-
sessed in large numbers.
The airships and the submarines are
the wasps of modern warfare. Like
the little insect, while they have a
powerful sting, they are very vulner-
able, and may be easily crushed and
rendered powerless.
Aeroplane and Wireless.
In the recent smaller wars, aero-
plans have been used to a limited ex-
tent, and this use has been so much
limited that their real efficiency is ex-
pected to be finally determined by the
present war.
It is much the same with the wire-
less telegraph. While it was used in
the Russo-Japanese war of ten years
ago, the apparatus was still rudimen-
tary, and the installations too few,
while the range of the apparatus was
too limited to Bhow the greatest effi-
ciency. In the intervening decade, how-
ever, great advance has been made in
wireless. It is now possible and, in-
deed, is a custom every day, to send
and receive messages from a distance
of more than 5,000 miles. This, then,
is a new and important factor in naval
operations, as was seen by the censor-
ship put over the great sending sta-
tions on this side of the Atlantic by
the United States authorities.
Wireless has also been successfully
attached to aeroplanes.
The submarine was in existence in
1904. but It was a very different Bea
wasp to that which England, France
and Germany are using today. Yet its
real value is yet to be determined, and
it is expected that this demonstration
will come during the present conflict.
Rapid Increase of Submarines.
At the time of the Spanish-American
war there were only Ave submarines
in all the navies of the world.
The latest edition of Brassey's Naval
Annual for this year gives the number
of submarines in the various navies,
and shows what interest is being
taken in the wasp of the sea. Great
Britain has 76 built, and is building 20
more; Germany, who only began build-
ing a few years ago, already has 27,
HAELEN, BELGIUM, DESTROYED BY GERMAN SHELLS
and is building 12 more; France has
70 and is building 23 additional ones;
Russia has 25, and is building 18;
while the United States has 29, and is
building 21; Austria has 18, and has
four under construction, while Italy
owns 18, and is building two. Yet the
submarine is still an unknown quan-
tity in warfare.
Submarine In War.
Many of the early submarines are
small and probably of little efficiency,
and France has numerous types about
which little is known by the outside
world. The German submarines are
said to be built along the Holland
lines, while the Russian submarines
are said to follow one or mors of the
French types.
Thi. submarine, from a romantic
viewpoint, should be a great factor in
deciding a naval engagement, but the
fact remains that up to the present
time it has done nothing to prove its
value. It was believed that the moral
effect of the submarine would be al
most as important as its physical ef-
fect upon an enemy's warship, but
this belief has not been justified up tc
the present moment.
There were notions that there would
be terrific fights under the seas by
submarine meeting submarine and de
stroying each other. But it has been
found that when submerged the sub
marine Is as blind as the traditional
bat. Its crew cannot see any object
under water, and is compelled to re-
sort to the UBe of the periscope, which
emerges unostentatiously above tht
water, in order to see its own course.
It is known that the periscope la
the eye of the submarine, and natural
ly attention has been paid to the best
way of destroying this vital part ol
these boats.
Submarine Versus Airships.
The designers of the submarine did
not count upon It being seen. It was
believed that it would go upon Its way,
dealing death without observation, al
though its periscope does make a
slight wake on the water, and whet
submerged there are telltale bubbles
But it has been discovered that front
a certain height an observer may trac<
the course of a submerged submarine
with as great accuracy as if it was
running on the surface. The dirigible
balloon and the aeroplane now car
ferret out the sneaking submarine, anc
they both are supposed to be armed tc
destroy the warship that moves like a
fish.
WASTE LAND MADE FERTILE
Remarkable Results Have Followed
Experiments Only Recently
Undertaken in Egypt.
As an indication of the ultimate out-
come in the great delta of Egypt,
where 1,500.000 acres of wash salt
land awaits development, toward the
end of 1912 about 800 acres of absolute-
ly waste land at Blala were taken In
hand. The land was so heavily im-
pregnated with salt that for ages noth-
ing had grown on it. A scientific sys-
tem of irrigation and drainage was laid
out, under direction of Lord Kitch-
ener, at a cost of $50 an acre, and it
was then handed over to the fellaheen
in five-acre plots for cultivation. Last
year the land was washed, and a crop
of rice was grown, giving a satisfac-
tory yield. After the rice crop the
salt distribution was measured, and
the percentage was considerably re-
duced. To the great astonishment of
the fellaheen cultivators, a permanent
result had been achieved in one year,
which under the ordinary system pre
vailing In the country would hav«
taken thre or four years to accom
plish. Cotton is now, therefore, beinf
satisfactorily grown on a fair propor
tion of this area, and it is expected
that it will bring from $75 to $100 ai
acre.

Seven Republicans Break With Party
—Heavy Penalties Are
Provided For
Violations.
Washington.—Amended In many
particulars, the Clayton anti trust bill,
which supplements the Sherman law
and completes the administrations
trust legislation program for this ses-
sion of congress, passed the senate
48 to 16 and will be sent to confer-
ence, where the federal trade com-
mission bill—first of the anti-trust
measures'—still Is under considera-
tion. Reports on both measures are
hoped for within two weeks.
Seven republican senators voted for
the bill—Urady, Clapp, Cummins,
Kenyon, Norris, Pe'klns and Jones.
They were joined by one progressive,
Poindexter.
The bill provides lines and Impris-
onment for officers of corporations
convicted of offenses against the
trust laws: prohibits exclusive and
tying contracts which restrict inde-
pendence of purchasers; prohibits
holding companion where their effect
Is to lessen competition or create
monopoly and makes Illegal two years
after the passage of the act inter-
locking directorates in competing cor-
porations any one of which haB cap-
ital of more than $1,000,000. It also
forbids the interlocking of railroad
directors with corporations dealing In
securities, railroad supplies or con-
tracts and liberalizes procedure in In-
junction and contempt cases.
Sections of the public bill relating
to price discrimination and unfair
competition were stricken out in the
Senate.
Labor, agricultural and horticultur-
al organizations not conducted for
profit are exempted from the provi-
sions relating to monopoly.
The maximum penalty fixed for
violation of the provision preventing
exclusive contracts Is $5,000 or one
year imprisonment or both. The pro-
vision against holding companies
would not prevent common carriers
from acquiring branch lines where
there is no substantial competition.
Sections relating to interlocking
directorates are made effective two
years after the passage of the act.
Ban on Railroad Directors
Directors of railroads, under the
terms of the bill, cannot be Interlocked
with corporations dealing tn securi-
ties, railroad supplies or other articles
of commerce or contracts for con-
struction, maintenance, etc., to an
amount of more than $50,000 in any
one year unless purchases are made
after competitive bidding under regu-
lations of the Interstate commerce
commission* A penalty of two years*
imprisonment and $25,000 fine is pre-
scribed for violation.
Another provision makes it a fel-
ony for officials of common carrier
corporations wilfully to misapply or
permit misapplication of funds of the
corporation, the penalty being not less
than $500, fine or imprisonment for
not less than one or more than tea
years or both.
The section dealing with court pro-
cedure provides that no injunction
shall be issued between employers
and employes in labor disputes unless
necessary to prevent injury to prop-
erty or property rights.

Administration plans as to the mer-
chant marine also took definite form
in other directions. At a conference
between the president, Secretary
Daniels and members of the naval af-
fairs and merchant marine commit-
tees of the house, it waa decided to
press one measure for obtaining a
government owned fleet of ships.
Chairman Alexander of the mer-
chant marine committee reported fav-
orably to the house the bill provid-
ing for the organisation of a $10,-
000.000 company controlled by the
government which will buy or build
freight carrying vesaels. A $30,000,000
issue of Pansma canal bonds will be
used to buy the ships, the govern-
ment accepting bonds of the company
as reimbursement.
It was decided at the conference
to amend the bill to allow the shlpe
