There exists now a new, compelling
reason for buying Goodyear tires.. It re
sults from War conditions.
These leading tires built of extra-fine
rubber, in the same way as always are
selling today at June prices.
You will find today a very wide difference
between most tire prices and Goodyears.
Due to Quick Action
Kurly in August when war bonn Hie
world's rubber markets Beeined closed to us.
Hubbcr prices doubled almost over night.
Men could see no way to pny for rubber
abroad, and no way to bring it in. We, like
others in that panic were forced to higher
prices. Hut wo have since gone biutk to prices
we charged before the war, and this is how
we did it :
We had men in London and Singapore when
the war broke out. The larger part of the
world's rubber supply conies through there.
We cabled them to buy up the pick of the rub
ber. They bought before the advance 1,500,
000 pounds of the linest rubber there.
Nearly all this is now on the way to us.
And it means practically all of the extra-grade
rubber obtainable abroad.
Today we have our own men in Colombo,
Singapore and Para. Those are the world's
chief sources of rubber. So we are pretty well
assured of a constant supply, and our pick of
the best that's produced.
We were first on the ground. We were quick
est in yt'tion. As a result, we shall hood have in
storage an almost record supply of this extra
grade of rubber.
And we paid about June prices.
Now Inferior Grades Cost Double
About the only crude rubber available now
for many makers is inferior. In ordinary times,
the best tire makers refuse it. Much of it had
been rejected. But that "off rubber" now sells
for much more than we paid for the best.
The results are these: 1
Tire prices in general are far in advance of
Goodyears. And many tire makers, short of
'supplies, will be forced lo use second-gnu lc
rubber.
Be Careful Now
In Tioodycars we pledge you. the same gru l-'
tiro-as always. And that grade won for !.mI
ycars the top place in- Tiredom the largest sale
in the world.
And, for the time being, our prices are the
same as before the war. We shall try to keep
them there.
We accept no excessive orders, hut dealers
will be kept supplied. And we charge tliem,
until further notice, only ante-bellum prices.
That means that Goodyears the best
tires built are selling way below other tires.

Crosses of Honor Will Be Won in
the European War. .
England, Trance and Germany Be
stow Thtie Tcetimcnials of Deeds
of Daring Performed by Of
ficers or Privates.
By EDWARD B. CLARK.
Washington. Some of tlie soldiers
of Knglnml, France and Germany I nl
the present war unquestionably will
win the crosses of honor which are the
most coveted decorations which gov
ernments give for acts ot conspicuous
personal gallantry In the face of the
enemy.
To Americans perhaps the French
OroBB of the Ix-gion of Honor and the
Victoria Cross of England are more
familiarly known than are the decora
tions given by Germany. In the
United States we have the Congres
sional Medal of Honor which Is given
hy congress for Individual deeds of dar
ing In the field. The Intrinsic vulue
of any of these budges is about one
cent, and yet for the privilege of wear
ing them soldiers seem always ready
to tread Gray's "patliB of glory."
The French decoration was first
granted under Napoleon In the early
part of the present century; the Vic
toria CroHs was instituted during the
Crimean war and the Americun medal
of honor was first struck off to reward
acts of heroism performed during the
Civil war. The French cross may be
won by civilians; the English and
American crosses are pinned only upon
the brcaxts of soldiers und Millars. In
the armies of all three nations ollicer
and private, peasant and prince, have
equal chances of wearing that which
nothing but attested bravery can buy.
The first Victoria Cross granted for
bravery in the South African war was
given to Col. Ian Hamilton of the Gor
don Highlanders for conspicuous gal
lantry at the battle of Elundslaugte.
A perusal of the Gazette list which
tells something of the deeds for which
the Victoria Cross has been awarded
shows that fully one-half of the most
striking exhibitions of heroism have
been shown by men whose slioilte
bore no Insignia of rank. One Ki'
publication states that wlili prhi

done by a British soldier was th"

BEYOND THE ORIENTAL MIND
Present Craze for Dancing Is Some
thing Indians and Japanese Do
Not Understand.
A feature of the London Reason is
the revival In dancing; people re now
Interested not only In watching the
professional stage dancer of either
sex but In dancing themselves. In
dians und Japanese alike express their
astonishment at the European, prac
tice of rushing about In ballrooms.
To the Oriental mind dancing Is
Bomellilng that should be done pro
fessionally, to amuse the' host and
guests looking on. They cannot com
prehend men and women dancing to
gether as partners, except as a scheme
for flirting.
The Japanese artist Yoshlo Marklno
recounts that he was frankly ama.ed
when his host, who was "an old man
of about sixty," told him that ho was
going to a ball, and that he wns go
ing because he loved dancing.

Addition to Bavaria's Wealth.
More recent Investigations indicate
that the graphite deposits In tho vi
cinity of Passau, llavarla, may be a
source of great wealth to the country,
and also one of the main graphite sup
plies of the world. Nassau Is a pic
turesque town, situated on a tongue
of land formed by the confluence of
the Dnnube and the Inn rivers. It lies
near tho Austrian border and owes It
Importance to the Danube navigation.
Passau graphite has been utilized for
several centuries and crucibles made
of It were used by the alchemists of
the middle ages. The price Is con
stantly rising, not by reason of specu
lation, but because the more available
supply is being gradually exhausted.
