CALEDONI AS UNDAY
SCHOOL NEWS
Last Sunday. May 19th.,
Caledonia church observed
Laymen’s Sunday. Prof. Har-
mon Lowman from Stephen F.
Austin College at Nacogdoches
gave us a most interesting talk
on what our church members
should be. He gave many very
interesting experiences which
he had had while working in
Chicago. He spoke of 'Mar-
shall Fields, one of the world’s
leading department stores, as
using their show windows to
advertise the choicest and most
interesting goods. He ques-
tioned what would be the re-
sult if we advertised some of
our church members in show
windows of the church. He
stressed that we should: be
ready at all times to be appoints
ed as a representative of our
church or of our personal
Christianity.
We enjoyed having Prof.
Cowman’s family with us on
Sunday and gained much from
these new friends which Cale-
donia church has made.
Plans are being materialized
for the League meeting on Fri-
day at 5 o'clock.
Next Sunday at 11 o’clock.
Miss Grace Base, the County
Health Norse trom Gregg
county, will be with us again.
She will talk at that hour and
continue the work which she
began several Sundays ago. At
2 o’clock. Dr. JL S. Picard of
Shreveport will be with
Miss Base has made am _
meats with Dr. Picard so that
he can be with as on this day.
Dr. Picard is a child specialist
and has done much interesting
work along this line. He ex-
amined the children at the
Shreveport fair last year and
the one preceding. He wants
to meet all the children under
nine years of age. We are so
glad that the mothera and chil-
dren of Caledonia can have this
wonderful opportunity. Dr.
Picard wants to see the well
children as well as those who
art not, and we are anxious
that he shall see .how many
fine chi! iren our community
does have. If any mother has
a problem as to the correct
feeding for her baby or any
question at all regarding her
baby’s or children’s health,
bring them to Caledonia and
Dr. Picard or Miss Baze will be
glad to advise with you.

Texas Peanut Pusher
to Match Skill Against
Lofty Pike’s Peak
Colorado Springs, Col., May
20.—One Bill Williams of Rio
Hondo, Texas, will, barring
rain, pit his ability as a peanut
pusher against the natural
hazards of Pike’s Peak, which
towers 14,000 feet above sea
level, here.
Willliams, whose pre-emin-
ence as a peanut pusher was
first recognized when he push-
ed a goober some dozen Texas
miles from Rio Hondo to a
neighboring town when Alfred
E. Smith failed of election to
the presidency, considered the
Pike’s peanut push as a severe
test of his ability.
"But I will do it,” he as-
serted confidently.
The pusher applies a device
which clamps to his nose, as-
sumes a near horizontal posi-
tion and, after ascertaining
that the peanut is at the end of
the pusher, moves forward.
Peanut after peanut is expect-
ed to give pp the ghost under
the gruelling strain of the big
push, but Williams promises
that as one peanut gives out
another will be ready to replace
it.
There have been no prophe-
sies as to the time required to
complete the push.

Heat causes air to expand.
That’s why the pressure in your
tires increases as you drive
along. If the pressure is a lit-
tle low when you take the car
out of the garage in the morn-
ing, it may icome up to normal
by the time you have gone a
few miles. This is more to be
depended upon in summer than
in winter, and more usual in
Florida than Canada. It’s best
to test the tire pressure once a
week and be sure thjit it’s up
Five
pounds under-inflation in a bal-
by test, has been
proved to decrease the life of
the casing from 25 to 30 per
cent.

“but you can’t SEE the most important
part ot THIS TIRE”
; -
You have had to discard tires with a tread that was stilt good
because the body—the hidden part—gave cut too soon. Do
you know why?
.
It is hard to understand why
one tire is better than another,
judging by looks or the first
thousands of miles of service.
But after you’ve thumped and
hammered your tires for
months, you discover which
make possesses the most en-
durance.
The hidden part of a tire—the
most important factor in de-
termining life and mileage—
then reveals its worth. It is the
body, concealed under the
tread, and composed of plie3 of
cord fabric. This body absorbs
the blows a tire gets. It bends
millions of times, under thte
ear’s weight, to cushion your
riding.
The cords, to do this, must be
elastic. How many times they
will flex and recover, or how
far they will stretch without
breaking, determines their
usefulness.
In repairing all makes of tires
rve find that the cords used in
Goodyear casings outlast any
other kind. By a patented
process these cords—called
SUPERTWIST—are twisted so
that they will stretch 60% far-
ther without breaking. They
also stretch and recover re-
peatedly, after ordinary cords
are lifeless.
This greater elasticity of SU-
PERTWIST explains <1) the
longer life of Goodyear tires—
their greater resistance to in-
jury, even when they are
abused, and (2) the fact that
the average well-worn Good-
year is worth retreading when
another tire similarly used is
broken down in the body.
We use SUPERTWIST cord
fabric in repairing all makes of
tires and guarantee our repairs
to outlast tire casing.
