There's a battery built by Gould to fit your car—built
by men who make batteries for battleships and subma
rines. The rugged, dependable, economical battery you
have been looking for is the GOULD BATTERY with
the DREADNAUGHT PLATES the original super
. hard plates. The big important difference between bat
teries is in the plates. Drcadnaught plates arc super-hard
i and give maximum resistance to disintegration from
overcharge and severe service. They have been imitated
but never successfully.

Paul Furman Is Back
From Big Tire Center
P. H. Furman, manager of the
Sterling Auto Tire Co., the Harris
burg distributing branch for Miller
Uniform Tires, has just returned
from a visit to Akron, Ohio, the
rubber center of the world. He
went to get first-hand information
concerning conditions as they exist
in the tiro industry and he came
back brimming over with optimism
concerning tire prospects for 1919.
"There is no question about the
demand for tires—it is going to
even surpass the most enthusiastic
anticipations," said Furman. "It
took a world war to demonstrate,
beyond contradiction, that the auto
mobile is an indispensable factor in
everyday life. With the demonstra
tion of this fact, the approach of
peace has set the whole nation agog
for newer and better roads to an
extent never reached in the past.
State after State is adding to its
good roads appropriation. The en
thusiasm shown for highway devel
opment is apparent everywhere.
"All of which means demand for
more automobiles. Where there
are motor cars there must be tires.
There will be more cars this year
than in previous years, hence-the
terrific strain on tire-manufacturing
resources.
"An actual shortage in tires ex
ists to-day. But it is not due
simply to the fact that consumers
are now buying tires for new cars
and renewing old tires. It is be
cause the production of tires wus
almost nil, compared with the de
mand for tires, during the last six
months of 1918. While the cut in
production was in effect, back orders
were piling higher and higher. The
result was that the tire manufactur
ers not only faced a flood of new or
ders, but millions of dollars' worth
of back orders had to be gotten out
with all possible speed.
"To make bad matters worse, a
serous shortage of labor resulted in
Akron for several weeks after the
opening of the year, but returning
soldiers are rapidly filling the de
pleted ranks of tire builders and the
manufacturers are really beginning
to catch up with the demand."
Furman spent considerable of his
time, while in Akron, in the tire de
partment of the big Miller factory-
He declares that he always finds
something new and more interesting
every time he visits the plant.
"The thing that impressed mo
most," he said upon his return to
Harrisburg, "was the remarkable
success that Afiller has attained with
its policy of uniform workmanship.
The first to actually undertake the
manufacture of uniform mileage
tires —the result of uniform work
manship— the company has demon
strated beyond question, the wisdom
of that policy. It can be said truth
fully that every Miller tire is strictly
up to standard. If ever one of them
comes back because of poor work
manship or improper construction,
the man who built it is penalized.
The Miller tire builders are just as
proud of their success as are the
sharpshooters in the Navy proud of
their skill in marksmanship.
"Consequently, there is no hasty,
slip-shod work in the Miller plant.
Uniform workmanship governs the
making of every tire. The result is
that the tires wear alike under like
conditions."
Furman was particularly enthusi
astic over the performance of Miller
Cords. "The Miller Cord is the first
tire in the world to combine uniform
mileage with the geared-to-the-road
tread," he continued. "The combi
nation has worked wonders in the
tire world and made Miller tires far
exceed what once were popular guar
antees. From the Miller standpoint,
the best part of the whole situation
is the fact that no other company
can take on these combined fea
tures. The Geared-to-the-road tread
is a patented Miller article and no

Embezzlement Suit by
Powell Evans Against
W. S. Leib in Tax Case
Pottsville, Pa., May 3.—Suit was
brought yesterday against County
Commissioner W. S. Leib, charging
him with embezzling funds given by
Powell Evans, of Philadelphia, to
pay State taxes on Sghuylkill Elec
tric Railway. The original deficiency,
$25,000, was reduced to $17,000 by
payments by Leib last week when
suit was threatened.
Leib's attorneys say securities were
deposited with Evans to cover the
entire amount, but this has not pre
vented action. It was on this trans
action that it is alleged the name of
John Fertig, former Pottsville law
yer, now a departmental chief at
Ilarrisburg, was forged. Bail was
fixed at $5,000.
The suit was brought before Al
derman McCool, of this city, who
denied knowledge of the case. The
suit follows action by Attorney Gen
eral Schaffer, charging eibL with
forgery.
Leib's arrest followed ten days'
strenuous efforts to locate him by
writ servers, according to Powell
Evans, who last night said the in
ability of the officers finally aroused
suspicion that their search was not
very exhaustive. Finally dispairing
of serving the warrant. Thomas Rey
burn White, of Philadelphia, coun
sel, and James D. Evans, vice-presi
dent of the Schuylkill Electric Com
pany, journeyed to Pottsville and
personally served the warrant. Mr.
White last night promised a state
ment to-day covering the charges
against Leib in detail.
