Nelson presided over the meeting: "Resolved, That inasmuch as the right to ride and travel in public conveyances is one of the funda mentals of free governments, and any restrictions thereon based on race, creed or color constitute class j legislation of the most drastic and j undemocratic kind, we, colored citi- t zens of Harrisburg, Pa., call upon j the Interstate Commerce Committee, through its chairman. Senator Cum- | mins. to encouch in the present rail- I road bill a clause doing away with,! that anomaly that insult to a race, j segregation for color in interstate ' travel, or to grant a hearing on such a proposal.

MANUFACTURING , It is planned to manufacture all United "U" Tires in Wilmington, Delaware, an ideal location for a tire factory. The product is known as United Tires, cord and fabric. Here are some of the reasons: - Being adjacent to the waterways of the world, having easy access to the rubber mar kets, close to the supply of cotton fabrics, owing to the fact that 90 per cent, of the cotton fabrics are woven on the Eastern Coast of the United States, and good railroad facilities. These are big factors in the manufacture of automobile tires, which means lower pro duction costs and larger profits to the share holder. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION For the purpose of handling the business in the most efficient and economical man ner. the company has adopted the chain store system of distribution. Stores under direct factory control will be opened in every important center of population in the U. S.

THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THE TIRE INDUSTRY At: Investment in tire company stock 'may be regarded as conservative for many reasons. The stock of the big producers is now closely held, and is not actively traded In except at very high prices. A few new and sound issues have been brought out, and very eagerly welcomed by investors. Offerings have been repeatedly oversubscribed and there is no such things as an "undigested" tire stock. Tire securities are today limited at anything like reasonable prices. Good tire stocks are good and will continue to be good for the simple reason that they represent a profitable business in a field that is not over crowded. - , There are more than 6,000,000 automobiles in use in the United States at the present time, and it is estimated that in the neighborhood of 3,u00,000 additional cars will be added within the next year. This Indicates the magnitude of the r'nar ket for automobile tires. , SUMMARY In view of the public character of the men who are behind this enterprise and the record of successes attributed to them, this issue of industrial stock should appeal to every level-headed, conservative Investor. Full investigation of every phase of the company's intentions and its principles is invited. • It is anticipated that the present issue of $500,000 will be quickly subscribed to. Prospec tive shareholders are urged therefore to sub scribe by mail, phone or telegraph at once, or to use the attached coupon for securing fur ther information. * i SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 6, 1919. matter before the Interstate Com- | mercer Committee, or by his moving such an amendment to the bill when under consideration by the Senate.

Carrier pigeons are to be used by the United States forestry service next year to coflvey fire reports from lookout sta tions and "fire fighters at the front" to the natural forest headquarters, according to an announcement made by the-local offices of the depart ment. The pigeons and equipment of the Navy Department are to be used for this "purpose. The value of the birds in the mountains and lake regions where in many places travel is most difficult, and where there are but few telephone lines, will be especial ly great, it is believed. Flights of 600 miles in a single day have been made by these pigeons. The distance to be covered in the national forests are consider ably less than this and in many cases the distance from lookout stations to the fire-fighting areas is less than fifty miles. \ House Rents in Mexico City High Mexico City, Dec. 6.—House rents in Mexico City are four times higher than in the United States, according to figures issued recently by the De partment of Commerce and Industry.
