; ENROLL FOR MEN'S RIGHTS
~ Now there is a world organization called Aequitas, formed to -fight for
Men's Rights. :
It is housed in a fine old Vienna palace and its members are 25,000 suffer-
] ing male- who have been driven by the tyranny of feminity to join forces in
© the hope of preventing the further subjugation of men.
The Aequias says that women have always ruled France, that women
voters outnumber the men in England, and that the United States is com-
pletely under he domination of the ladies. 2
a The Aequitas admits it does not want to reestablish the tyranny of the

DALLAS BOROUGH SCHOOLS

Dallas borough schools opened Tues-
day with every prospect for the most
|enjoyable and profitable year in its
Ihistory\’ Minor repairs have been com-
pleted in each room in the old build-
ing and they present a clean, cheerful
appearance to the pupils as they re-
turn for another year’s work. In the
elementary grades the teachers are:
Misses Dorothy aPtterson, Ella Sut-
ton, Eimly Hill, Helen Anderson and
Louise Miller, all of Dallas. The first

six, 2T; seven, 19; eight, 21; nine, 22;

Editor Dallas Post:
An ad appeared in the issue of your
paper, August 25, to which I should
think nothing. For any one knowing
me would know I never sent in any
such absurd noice to the Dallas Post
or -any other paper, but to the person
who did send it in, perhaps a timely
warning would be as well, not to try a
like stunt on some people. To use an-
other’s name is exceedingly dangerous,
and might cause considerable trouble
to the practical joker.

VERY day, for twenty-four hours, Goodyear’s |
{ tire-testing cars race along the roadways of
America.
Overloaded, steaming, crowding the speedometer
from dawn to dusk, they cover ccacrete and gravel,
hill and dale. Each car often piles up as much as
800 miles a day.
Some of them are big cars, some small; some cruise
in Ohio, some in Florida, some in Arizona and New
Mexico, some on the Pacific Coast.
Altogether they comprise the largest tire-testing fleet
in the world, and they’re kept on the run in sun- |
shine and storm the whole year through. ¥
THIS ceaseless and unmerciful testing, this question
365 days long, is the kind of scrutiny Goodyear |
