Bu.Rars Use Dogs as Sentries
LONDON, Sept. 9. Ward Price. In a
dispatch to London pap-rs from Salonlca,
refers to the use of dogs as sentries by the
Bulgarians. He says they are sheep dogs,
which, according to local tradition, are
lineal descendants of the war dogs of Alex
ander the Great. The Bulgarians chain the
dogs alt day, come down at night and feed
them, then set. them loose. As the slightest
unusual sound the brutes set up a yelping
that can be heard for mites. '
CHARLIE HALL FUNDS
VARE WAR ON PHANTOM
VOTERS "OLD STUFF"
Seventh Ward Leader Says Ho
and Other McNlchol Lieuten
ants Havo Been Purifying
Ballot for Ten Years
FRAUD "UNPROFITABLE"
Charles B, Hall, cnlef clerk of Select
Council and a leader of the Republican
forces In the Seventh Ward, said today
that he and other McNlchol leaders have
been doing for 10 years what Senator Vare
said he proposed to do toward remoWng
phantom names from the voters list.
The Senator, In a statement yesterday,
said he would urge all of hs political fol
lowers to eliminate Illegal voting 'and do
all they could to pre.ent election frauds In
the future. Mr. Hall said his sentiments
were similar to those of Senator Vare. nnd
that he believed criminality at the polls
would dd more harm than' good for the
party that permitted It.
"Senator Vare does not take mo Into his
conndfnee." said Mr, Hall, "but I believe he
would not come out with any statement de
claring his Intention to do a certain thing
unless It was his purpose to do It.
"But In the Seenth Ward we" have
been trying to keep tho election lists clean
for the last 10 5 cars. The day ot Illegal
Voting has virtually disappeared, No ward
leader finds It profitable now to allow a
man to vote in a division where he has
no legal residence.
"Tho number of votes gained In this
way can never be great enough to make
any difference In the total result. Party
elections are won and lost, without any
noticeable effect being exercised by the
criminal elements.
"You will find that the man who votes
when he Is not entitled to Is generally of
the lowest order of society; often he has
no bad Intentions, but falls to understand
the seriousness of the franchise. Some
times, he Is unable to comprehend tho
meaning of the word registration or to ap
preciate what an election really amounts
to.
"Often my friends and I lime assisted
In prosecuting the election crook. In the

Three hundred miles over a new course. at the
scorching speed of 97.06 miles an hour here is a
test of Hre stamina leaving no element of quality or
construction untried!
Yet Goodyear Cords stood up under this grinding, wear
ing, punishing pace stood up under, it to a victorious
finish.
They carried Aitken and his Peugeot straight to first
honors. "
Aitken's Labor Day;victory-at Cincinnati, supported by
the series of remarkable racing records achieved with the
aid of Goodyear Cords in the past few monthsj offers addi
tional proof of the superior stoutness, speediness and endur
ance of these tires" '
The same stoutness, speediness and endurance are
advantages experienced by Goodyear Cord users in every-.
day motoring. ' t ,5
They are the qualities that led to the adoption of
Goodyear Cord Tires as standard equipment on the Franklin,
the Packard TwhvSix, the Locomobile, the Peerless, the
White, the Haynes Twelve, the Stubs and the lvlacFarland.
They are the qualities that make these tires higher-priced
and better. '
