Big Increase in Wages Assures Soft Coal Peace Sfecial to the Telegraph Philadelphia, Pa., April 15. All danger of a strike among the 50.000 organized bituminous coal miners in 1 Central Pennsylvania was averted last night when an agreement cover ing the next two years was signed by representatives of the operators and the miners in the Bellevue-Stratford. According to James Percell, president of District No. 2, of the U. M. W. of A., and Charles .O'Neill, secretary ot | the district, the agreement calls for the highest wage ever paid in Central Pennsvlvania. It means an added ex penditure of $3,500,000 on the part of the operators. The miners' representatives are par ticularly jubilant over a clause which permits them to collect dues and levy assessments and declare this places I theni in a position to attack the un ! organized miners in this and sur -1 j rounding States. Explains Why Goodrich Tires Are Made Black "Why are the Goodrich black tread tires black?" has been propounded to the B. F. Goodrich Co. and its dealers ! to such an extent that G. O. Simpson, ' Philadelphia branch manager, has is sued an official explanation. "Our research department set out to develop the toughest automobile tread rubber that had ever been brought forth. And when we'd dis covered it, it happened to be black in its final form. "No stringency of materials entered into the question—it wasn't for the purppose of putting forth something 'different' in the way of color. Just as Topsy simply 'growed,' so the Good rich black barefoot rubber simply hap pened to come out black. "This black rubber, which we first developed for Silvertowns, proved stronger, better and more wear-resist ing than any other we could make. It was so tough and sinewy that there was no earthly comparison between it and other rubber. It grips the road, but doesn't grind—it resists punctures —its springiness acts like shock ab sorbers, prolonging the life of the en tire tire, fabric and all. So we used it on our fabric tires. "We aren't stopping our research work now that we have eveloped this black barefoot rubber. We're continu ing to reach out into chemistry and physics where no one has ever ex plored. Some day we may discover something that will make rubber still tougher. If so, we'll use it. And the tires will be whatever color the rubber J may happen to come—green, blue, vio- I let or what not—just as at present j barefoot tires are black." Fraternal Feeling Much in Evidence Among Car Owners i J George H. Phelps, advertising direc tor of Dodge Brothers, has just re turned from a trip to the coast. He declares that one of the most striking things to engage his attention is the fraternal feeling that exists among the owners of Dodge Brothers cars. "There has always been a bond of good fellowship between the owners of similar makes of says Mr. Phelps, "but this seems to be far stronger than usual in the case of the owners of Dodge Brothers motor cars." "Out on the Pacillc Coast, to drive a Dodge Brothers car is just like be longing to a big society. At various points I learned that it is customary for excursions and picnics to be ar ranged to be participated in only by those driving Dodge Brothers motor cars and there are regular clubs being formed in some cities. "This is not only true of the West. In Rochester and Syracuse. X. Y., there are clubs of Dodge Brothers owners, and It is only a few months ago that a parade of Dodge Brothel's motorcars, driven by the owners, was a feature of Dodge Brothers Day in Boston. When Mr. Philp, our general sales manager, viisted New Orleans a few weeks ago. Dodge Brothers car owners actually gave a banquet in ap preciation of Dodge Brothers at which Mr. Philp was the guest of honor. "This situation is very gratifying and we are glad to see the idea spread, as it means that the owners of Dodge Brothers cars are proud of their purchases." All Teachers Oppose Military Training in Schools Says Sharpless That, the movement throughout the country for national preparedness is merely hysteria fostered by the "army, the navy, the munitions manu facturers and certain frail patriots" was the theory advanced by Dr. Isaac Sharpless, president of Haverford Col lege, at a meeting last evening of the Harrisburg branch of the Pennsvl vania Arbitration and Peace Society'at the residence of A.

Motorcycle Notes The man who works for the govern ment. particularly if his duties require him to travel. Is quickly learning how useful a motorcycle can be In helping him to get around. H. K. Shearer, as sistant State Geologist of Georgia, re ported a short time ago to the chief of the department In Atlanta that his ! use of an Indian motorcycle had en i abled him to cover an average of fifty four miles a day in his investigations iat a cost of only one-fourth of his ; previous expenses when he used the trains and horses. Most of his travel was in the Coastal Plain of Georgia over mads of unconsolidated sands- and .•lays, but he found the power of his Indian machine sufficient on all oc casions, even after rains, provided the water was not so deep as to go over his carburetor. Tndian machines for the use of three officers of the government of the Pan ama Canal one for transporting them on their regular trips along the Isth mus have recently been ordered through the Panama Canal Purchasing Commission at Washington, D. C. | When President Wilson visited Kan sas city on his recent "swing around the circle" he was attended through j nut his stay by thirty patrolmen on i Indian motorcycles. Among cities which have recently re ordered Indian machines for their mo* torivcle mounted patrolmen are New Vork, Yonkers, and Roston. in the last named city for the Metropolitan Park Commission.

The perfected six cylinder motor is capable of a faster pick up and a smoother flow of power than is possible is a four. But not all sixes are superior to all fours. We build fours that are superior to many sixes. And our only purpose in building a six is to satisfy with Overland finality that extremist demand for well nigh miracu lous motor performance. The Overland Six is a big, roomy, luxurious, seven passen ger car with a motor of unusual power, smoothness and But the price is only sll45 —much lower than any other car of its size and class. Such a low price for such a superlative car is possible only because the Overland Six is part of a huge production. In fact Overland production is easily double that of any other builder of cars of like class. So in buying the Overland Six you not only secure a car of very unusual performance— But you get the advantage of the economies possible only in the production of cars on so vast a scale. While the prices of established sixes are advancing, and those recently announced are on a higher price level, the Over land price remains at $1145. It is so clearly dominant value among sixes of its size and class, that the demand is taxing even our large capacity. Today is an Overland Six opportunity which can hardly last.
