QUAKER QUIPS
(Philadelphia Record)
Some people spend as they go, oth-
ers stay at home.
In spite of a good figure a girl may
display bad form,
Even the golden rule is a poor one
if it doesn't work both ways.
In getting to the top every mart
must operate his own elevator.
Give the average woman a button
and she'll want a dress to match it.
Success is alway due to our own
efforts; failure we can blame on some-
body else. '.MIA
When things won't come your way
it may be because you haven't the
right kind of bait.
It's all right to take time by the
forelock, but don't tell your troubles
before they happen.
Variety is the spice of life; never-
theless the continued changing of
one's mind is apt to wear it out.
The Cynical Bachelor observes that
everybody seems to know when a man '
is in love before he suspects it him- I

"Your tires are no better than their
cord structure!"
ThiB terse statement was made by
Mr. Hughes, Granger dealer for the
Firestone Tire & Rubber Co. Mr.
Hughes was emphasizing the need for
greater thought on the part of every
motorist for the vital factors in tire
construction that control mileage and
govern economy.
"Tires are in reality, cord fabric
structures heavily insulated and forti-
fied with rubber," he said. "The
back-bone of the tire, the frame work,
the skeleton of the tire, is therefore
the cord material from which it is
built. On an even basis with quality
of the tread, side-wall and bead con-
struction, too much attention cannot
be given to the cord structure of the
tire, when new equipment is being
bought.
"In the first place, the actual qual-
ity of cord material employed is a
vital factor. The best, long fibre cot-
ton grown is put into good tires and,
as a result, there is natural resilience,
flexibility, strength and great powers
of endurance.
"Use of this type of cord material
is imperative in every good tire, a
thing manufacturers have realised for
years. But how to preserve this life,
flexibility, strength in their cords, Is
a problem that has been hard to solve.
"How to insulate and impregnate
every cord, not only so they my be
held firmly in place, reducing interna?
■friction to the minimum, but to pre-
vent the cords from actually burning
out; to keep them from aging and
becoming brittle, that has always been
and still is the big problem before the
great majority of tire manufacturers.
"Firestone Gum-Diped Tires retain
their original flexibility, strength and
endurance with remarkable tenacity,
as proved by the most gruelling tests
motoring, both on the speedways anK
the highways, can produce. This, of
course, is due to the co-ordination be-
tween vital factors in their construc-
tion and quality of materials.^ Gum-
Diping spans the gap tha't ordinary
tire manufacturers leave wide open."
(Waco News-Tribune)
A "nay" letter written by Mr*.
Theron Pierce, 900 North Thirtyfourtn
street won first prize in the contest
conducted by the News-Tribune on
the problem of Miss Barbara Hawley
20-year oW girl who jilted her fianw
to take a reporter's job. Mrs E. A.
Smith, 1400 Proctor Avenue, received
second prize, and D. E. McDonald,
1304 South Eighth street, third. Other
winners were Mrs. J. C. Gibson, Troy;
Mrs. H. F. Marr, Corsicana; Mrs. Jay
Robbins, Coolidge; Mr?. Charles Mar-
tin, 1218 Washington avenue; Mr«.
George oCox, Marlin.
One letter, branding Barbara s>
stand as more evolution and successor-
in limelight to the Scopes trial, re-
ceived one vote for first prize, bu.
was ineligible because longer than
150 words, the maximum limit.
The Prize Letter
The first prize letter illustrated by
the writer, Mrs. Pierce, follows:
"Marry him, Barbara, stock up on
electrical housekeeping devices, an>1
change your idea of a career! The one
thing we seek today is variety; that
which we get, experience. Married life
is certainly something different while
keeping up with any Adam is nothing
if not exciting.
Fame is found in a lemon pie. So
is independence. (You don't have to
eat it.) You reap an educational ad-
I vantage in darning sox. (Increases
your vocabulary.) And the art is not
i in making dollars, but in stretching
f'them; there is strength in unity; there-
is also encouragement; we need that—
| whether we view life's" beauties
i through a lorgnette or from the bus»-
| ness end of the plow—if we're to stay
put today.
■ The modern woman who under-
i takes the business of making a home
| enters into a professional career, any-
I way so make it a partnership affair,
1 Barbara, and prove your point, after
all.
The letter winning second prize, by
j Mrs. E. A. Smith, follows:
Barbara did right by refusing to
marry the man who dictates to her
before marriage, for of course that is
his disposition to be dictorial, amj
hers to refuse to be dictated to. There-
fore they would be bound to clash, for
marriage does not change disposi-
tion,
A girl is better off married if she
gets the right man, but it is prefer-
able to be an old maid if she does not.
If the man she loves becomes her
jailer she soon ceases to love him; ii
she is free there is always a chance
of meeting the right party. I say
Barbara was lucky to have found out
just how he looked at life and Its
problems. A man should make life
with him the only career his wife
wants.
A safe rule that will cover the situ
ation: "Don't marry any one unless
life with him under any conditions, is
preferable to life without him. .

MAIL YOUR X-MAS PACKAGES
EARLY. „
Believing that it is the desire of
the people that all of the employes of
the postal department should be al-
lowed to enjoy the Christmas holi-
days in their homes with their fami-
lies, the Department at Washington
has decided to make the experiment
during the coming Christmas of stop-
ping all of the work of the depart-
ment at 12 on Christmas eve night
until 12 Christmas night, except
enough to dispatch the outgoing first
class mail but not to put up incoming
first class mail. In order to do this
without impairing the service, the
department is asking everybody who
contemplates sending packages, cards,
or other Christmas mail, should do so
early enough for it to arrive at its
destination in time to be delivered be-
fore Christmas eve, thus relieving the
postal employes of this burden at that
time. It is permissible to label your
packages "Don't Open Until Christ-
mas." If the patrons of the postal de-
partment will do this, there need be
no merited complaints, and if this ex-
periment is successful, then the De-
partment desires to make this rulincr
1 permanent, nnd give all of the em-
ployes all of Christmas day to be with
their families, except as above stated.

1 TIGHT FEELING I
Stomach Troubles Relieved by
the Aid of Black-Draught.
Telling how he obtained relief
from very disagreeable symptoms
of stomach trouble, Mr. Charles T.
Wintz, of R. F. D. 4, Huntington,
W. Va., made the following state-
ment:
"I began taking Black-Draught
about fifteen years ago. I would
have gas on my stomach that just
pressed and seemed to shorten my
breath, and I would have all kinds
of feeling. My head would ache
and I was in a very bad fix.
"1 had tried remedies that didn't
seem to do me any good. I saw
Black-Draught advertised and sent
for it.
"After taking a few doses, I knew
it was helping me. It seemed, to
break up the gas, and the tight,
bloated feeling disappeared, and I
was like a new man. I would not
be without Black-Draught. I can
eat anything 1 want to. If 1 get
dizziness in the head, Black-
Draught relieves it."

LIVER MEDICINE
NOT IN HIS CLASS
The ocean liner was steaming slow-
ly up the bay. Directly in its path
drifted an old mud scow.
"Hey, down there!" bellowed an
officer on the liner. "Get that old
tub out of the way!"
The grizzled, weather-beaten .anci-
ent on the scow looked up. "Be you
the cap'n o' that there vessel?" he
asked.
"No, I'm not; but what difference
does that make ? "
"Waal" —spitting contemptuously
over the side—"I be cap'n o' this
craft, an' I speaks only to my equals."
NEW GAME PRESERVE
