14 Auto Tires Sold at SSOO Apiece in Sweden American motorists should take sweet satisfaction, now that their country is Involved in war. In the fact that the largest automobile tire factories In tne world are located within tho contlnes of the United States, according: to Count Richard Hamilton, representing A. Y. Holm, of Stockholm, who looks after the Peerless business in Sweden. The Count was at the Peerless factory in Cleveland the other day and he said that about the'most dis tressing feature of the motor car ■business in Sweden is the rubber tire shortage. "A friend of mine," said the Count, "'learned of a couple of rear tires for tale just outside of Stockholm. Me hurriedly bought them, at an ex orbitant price, and started home, carrying the tires on his arm. He guarded them as a bank messenger guards the money placed in his care. He had not proceeded on his way far, however, before several persons were at his heels with offers to buy the tires. The highest bid was made when a man offered him the equivalent of SSOO In cash In American money, for each of the tires. Even at that price, the offer was not accepted. "You Americans can thank your stars that you are in no danger of facing a rubber shortage. You have the factories here, therefore you will get the tires." Count Hamilton also mentioned the fact that among the more prom inent Peerless Eight owners in Sweden is Asta Nlelson, the moving picture favorite of that country. He had recently completed a trip of 108 miles with her in eight hours, with the Peerless Eight running on low gear through the deep snow in and around Stockholm.

Coal dealers have hundreds of unfilled orders on their books and are patiently, or we should say, im patiently waiting for coal to fill them. Since it is difficult for the dealer to secure an adequate amount of coal during July and August, how can he take care of the demand in January and February? At the present time it is practically impossible to get certain sizes and grades of coal. Wholesale coal prices have been advancing each month since April 1. It will shortly be necessary to change the retail prices because of the higher cost. You run a fearful risk in delaying the filling of your bins. Soon the coal dealer must refuse to ac cept new orders until the old ones are filled. United Ice & Coal Co. ■F orster & Cowden Sts, MONDAY EVENING, ! Maxwell Breaks Record in Long Canadian Run The possibility of a. motor car be ing used an a bearer of important war dispatches has been demonstrat ed in Canada by Ray McNamara, road engineer for the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc., of Detroit, while he was using a Maxwell touring car to blaze a patch for Canadian motor ists. McNamara ertubllshed a record without a parallel in the history of Canadian motordom. He covered the 270 miles from Windsor to Toronto in six hours and llfty minutes of actual running time. The elapsed time was seven hours and forty-four minutes. Heavy rains over seventy miles of the course made the roads nearly impassable. Traveling of any kind was difficult. "Putting things mildly this trip was about the nearest thing to aero planing that 1 have ever experi enced," wired the road engineer to the Maxwell Company. '•ie trip from Windsor to Toronto was better by two hours than the unofficial record. So well had the Maxwell car per formed that McNamara and the two passengers carled with him were compelled to wuit for the newspaper men and Maxwell dealer to appear on the ground. The trail blazer ar rived in Toronto sixteen minutes ahead of schedule time. The record-breaking time of the Maxwell was accomplished, al thought time was lost on two occa sions by tires being changed and dirt getting in the gasoline line, which was cleaned three times. In the first hour of travel after leaving Windsor the night of July 2t> the Maxwell made 41.5 miles. Be yond that point the motorists found the roadway badly cut up and very rough. After going sixty miles Mc- Namara changed the right tire which had a four-inch cut, caused by the sharp rocks! The roads were water soaked for the next seventy miles. The surface had been washed off, leaving the sharp bed roclc exposed. A second tire went to pieces at the end o£ 150 miles. After leaving Hamilton it was necessary to slow down to twenty five miles an hour speed on the high way. Going over the rough roads about forty-five miles an hour had been made. The slow time on the boulevard was to remain within the speed lim it, and to avoid the speed traps hidden In bushes alongside the roadway. Before quitting Canada McNamara will log a route to Montreal and oth er places. Accompanying McNamara in the Maxwell touring car were A. Drake, of the Windsor Record; W. E. Addy man, traffic manager; W. B. Hast ings, of the Canadian Motorist, rep resented the Toronto newspapers and checked the car in at Toronto, j HANK PRESIDENT DIES Wrightsville, Pa., Aug. 13.—David S. Cook, president of the First Na tional Bank, and one of the best known men in York county, died sud denly yesterday .from a stroke of apoplexy, in his eightieth year. Since he was 18 years of age, when he engaged with his father in the lime business ,he has been actively en gaged in business. He was secretary and treasurer of the Wrightsville Iron Company organized In 1866, and in 1872 he went to Virginia where he erected a large furnace. He was an extensive land owner in Virginia and affiliated with all the leading Indus tries of this section. He was a char ter member of the Masons and a member of the Presbyterian church. His wife sudvives. BIG CROP OF OATS Marietta, Pa., Aug. 13.—The larg est crop of oats harvested in Lan caster county is safely in the barn of Howard Spayd, near Witmer.

(Xew, \Vunderfill, li.4vntuii<-oiiM Method) You who are annoyed with embar rassing growths of superfluous liatr have waited long for something that would do more than merely take off the surface hair temporarily—some thing that would really remove the hair roots. And now—at last—your wish is realized! The new phelactine process is* far different from, far better than elec trical, depilatory or other methods, because it actually removes the hair entire, roots and nil—-before your very eyes—easily, instantly, harmlessly!

Nelson Clark always carry it in stock WHO IS AFRAID TO BE GOOD? Arc You Willing to Sacrifice Your Principles For Fear of Someone's Ridicule? By ncatrlce Fairfax Deep within us —so deep that we often fail to realize it—is a respect and reverence for goodness. And on the surface of our knowledge there is a suspicion that it actually "pays" to be good. And yet some of us are actually afraid to try it out! Human nature is pathetically afraid of ridicule. A good many of us would die for a principle, but we won't be laughed I at for It. Haven't you ever been in a situa tion very much like this? Mabel Is lunching with a group of brilliant society people whose worldllness she does not exactly admire, but still rather envies. All of them take cocktails before their dinner and wine with it and liquors afterward. Mable has a definite principle about drink. She doesn't approve of it; she suspects it of evil effects, and besides her moral scruples she thinks it looks rather badly for a young woman to drink in public. When asked to "join the crowd in a drink she is terrified at the thought of seeming critical; she doesn't want to take a "holier than thou" attitude; she hates the thought of seeming to preach. So she ventures a timid: "Honestly I don't care for cocktails." "Have you ever tried one?" asked Mrs. Antrim "No." Mabel confesses her ignor ance shamefacedly—not proudly. "Then how do you know you don't like it?" Mable finds the logic of that irre futable. The cocktail is ordered. She drinks it. Then she can think of no particularly good excuse about the wine or the /liquors. Mabel is af xld that she will be thought "goody-goody." And so she dare not be true to her real self. Apart from the right or wrong of drinking, Mabel committed a real sin. She violated her own principles. She betrayed her own soul. She was not honest because she was "afraid to be good". Have you found yourself in a simlar position? Think about it a moment. Are you very proud now of the way you conducted yourself? Not very long ago a (party of young people were dining in a res taurant where there is not only music with the meals, but dancing as well. A young man whom 1 know well related the story afterward. His attitude is fairly representative of that of any other decent young fellow. Think it over, girls. One of the guests was little Miss E from Boston. When the first fox-trot struck up, he asked her to dance with him. "I'm sorry—but I don't dance in public. It just hap pened that my father doesn't aipprove. You won't mind if I sacrifice the dance which I'd honestly enjoy and have the satisfaction of living up to my father's idal cf me?" asked the girl earnestly. "And by jove, I like that little girl. 1 think her father's rather an old fogey, and I'd hate it If many chaps were so strict with their daughters. But I think it was pretty decent of her to take a chance on having us laugh at her for wanting to mind her dad." That was my friend's comment. "And did you laugh?" I asked. "Not one of us. We were so busy thinking how brave she was to risk having us all ridicule her that we would have been might, ashamed to do it. She's a peach of a girl; and say. when Norton Jones got up a dance in his studio for her the next week, she turned out to be a wonder ful dancer—waltzes like a dream. A lot of the girls have been giving parties in their homes, and it's sort of fun to stay home for a change." If you have a conviction or a prin ciple or a feeling that you owe it to someone you love to act in a cer tain way; why be too cowardly to live up to your own ideal? Every body admires bravery. Almost ev erybody knows how hard it is to take a stand which is different from other people's. If you are on the unpopular side or the question and are ugly and ag gressive about it, of course you make enemies. But if you stand in a lonely minority and sweetly and amiably back your own principles without demanding that anybodv else reform to suit you or act in accordance with your conduct, you aie pretty likely to make converts converts to the honesty and sweetness and simplicity that is not afraid to be good." New Device Makes It Safer to Learn Driving Several months of successful oper ation of a double steering wheel car by Bishop, McCormlck & Bishop, of Brooklyn, have supplied the com forting assurance that a dav is com ing when embryo motorists will learn the art of driving with much greater safety to themselves, to oth er motorists, and to the general pub 11c. The double steering wheel device permits the instructor to retain con trol over the car at nil times, even though the pupil is doing the actual driving and gear shifting. This ar rangement enables the pupil to try his hand almost immediately on traffic-ridden streets, with the result that he is far better equipped to drive alone after one or two lessons than the average "raw motorist" is after three or four. The Instruction car is not only equipped with two steering wheels but with two sets of brake and clutch pedals. "Automo bile Topics" says. "Because of this arangemer.t both instructor and learner feel a confidence that can not exist when there is a single con trol in unskilled hands. The nervous strain that is eliminated can best be appreciated by those who have been through the experience." The Brooklyn firm precedes this instruction by a series of lessons in an "anchored car," which is set on a platform in such a way as to leave the wheels free. In front of the car is a semaphore with which the in structor flashes signals to the driver "Sharp turn," "Steep hill," etc., di rect the pupil to manipulate his con trols accordingly, while a special brake lever enables the instructor to produce practically the same condi tions as would result on the road Both the dual control and the an chored car were originated by Bißhop, McComlck & Bishop, and patents are applied for on each Bishop, McCormick & Bishop are the Dodge Brothers dealers in Brook lyn.
