Described as full size, bearing a ifetime guarantee without time or oileage limit, the tire is made in ;.00-16, 5.25-17/5.50-17 and 4.75 .9/5.00-19.

"Affording an opportunity for the nan who doesn'tt want to invest as nuch in tires, but yet enabling him o get products build by a recog nized manufacturer, the All-Ameri . can supplements the company's line of Double Eagle, G-8, Marathon and Pathfinder, tires, providing one for every price range, to meet every driving need," said Mr. Woo ten. Economies in manufacturing pro cesses make the new tire possible at a net low price. The same materials ore used as are employed in the manufacture of all Goodyear passen ger car tires, and the carcass is made with low-stretched Supertwist cord, which has a higher tensile strength than did even the quality tires of two years ago. Double'cord breaker of high-tensile cord has been included to give greater protection against bruises, Tread design is new and known as the multiple~rib, which assures long, even wear, easy steering and resistance to side slip. Tread com pounds are of time-taested reputa tion for withstanding abrasion.

He condemned jingo outcries for war as "sheer stu pid blustering" and took advantage of the visit of Francis B. Sayre, Unit ed States High Commissioner to the Philippines, to discuss American-Ja panese relations in an informal way in an effort to clarify the situation. About the same time, Premier-Ad miral Mitsumaaa Yomai emphasised Japan's determination to steer clear of the European War and suggested that a "turning point" might be near in regard to relations with the Unit ed States. ? ? i m .
