PAGE SIX by Fire. Lenoir, July IS.—Fire completely de stroyed the plant of the Star Furniture Company here this afternoon. The alarm was in at 3:30 o’clock and the local fire company responded promptly. Within ten minutes from the time the alarm was turned in, the entire buildings were in flames and the fire beyond all Reprinted from the First Balloon Tire Announcements “You ride on a cushion of air." “Ruts and bumps are smoothed out.” ‘The car and its occupants are protected from jolts and jars.” “Shocks are absorbed before they reach axles and springs.” “On uneven roads where ordinary tires bounce, ' these flexible low-air pressure tires roll over the bumps, permitting better average speed.” “Save repairs.” ■ j . i ■ i ts- 1 • 4A Low-Air Pressure ' is the Answer HERE is a list of balloon tire advantages taken from the first balloon tire announcements. These were the things that car owners wanted. Thp'things that made them* demand balloon tires. Read them and then ask yourself how you can get them except in a tire that can be run at low enough air pressure to provide a soft cushion between the car and the road. Some car owtoem.bahe been sold the balloon princi ple and then handed the name only. Just a big, round, fat tire with the name “Balloon” on it will not necessarily give low-air pressure riding comfort. The original ideal of the industry was a flexible ride wall, low-pressure tire. Yet today some “balloon” the* must.be run at too high pressure for ideal cushioning, as they wear out too fast when they are run soft. It is important to you as a car owner to remember this fact. \ The United States Royal Balloon is spoken of as the “Balloon Tire Principle at its Best”, because it can be run at low-air pressure without ipjury. It is built of Latex-treated Web Cord which provides the necessary strength and flexibility. v It has the U.S. Low-Pressure Tread which wears slowly and evenly and eliminates early, uneven and unsightly wear. Specify U. S. Royal Balloon Cords and be sure of true low-pressure cushioning. United States Rubber Company U.S. Royaler Balloons For sale by: jj RITCHIE HARDWARE CO. ; Concord, N. C.

KANNAPOLIS CONFIDENT NOW Resting on Their Laurels After Downing Concord in First Affair.—Not in the Leuat Perturbed Over Near Defeat on Saturday. BY JAZZY MOORE Having safely stowed Concord in the hold tn bnh contest,- the undefeated locals will this \vet*k rewjt until Thursday when they meet CooleCiM* here. ’ The locals should not have trouble disposing of these lads. • j* But the supreme tagt of the entire sea son is awaiting tfem Saturday when Basinger and his Concord scrappers will come to the Cabarrfa ball park with the full intention of knMking the Kannappl ians for a game. | However, the local, diamond dusters ars not the least per turbed over the tie' game that resulted last Saturday with Concord. They ex pect to ditto the initial performance. Fully 3.000 Fans Expected. “Doc” Flowe has received a fresh con signment of shoe barfis to pack them, in with Saturday. Flftrt* hundred saw the game hist Saturday, including Felix and Bud Moore, Charlotte mo, guls, and one big league scout. Every 1 baseball fall in the city that can possibly go will, be out to she Cabarrus field for the next battle, it is predicted.- Flow* to Newberry? Jimmy Flowe. former Piedmont, Inter national, Cotton States, South Atlantic league, and Wake Forest College flash, is being mentioned to replace Dick Miller at the helm of the Newberry .Club of th* Carolina loop, it was revealed in an un official statement here today. 1 t I Flowe would not comment at length on the-report. He has been playing a snap py game for Bill l’iegrie’s Jackson. Miss., Hub, dipping'the agate at .30). Recent ly he was sent lie ate on account of ill ness. He has fuiljt recovered and was given permission by jßUevlUe authorities, to whom Flowe, belongs. to play , a few games with Kannapolis. If the report is true the. locals will have to scour the country far and wide for a man to play a& well as Flowe has around the keystonf , hag. Simmons walked the'youngster a cou ple of times in the -Concon};Kannapolis frajr, after he was faught that Flowe could hit bis offering* out of* the lot In the eighth stand of tie locals Flowe pos sibly saved the gam* by lifting one of Simmons' slants over right field fence. Holshouser also threatens to quit the local* to join andthob, loop in West Vir ginia. Bnt should there be troth in these be truth In thesq. statements the .pair at famed stars will pi# here far another week in the least.

The discussion about Kie title to such land, I the Canadian government, which' let It ■ be known that Canada claimed the own- I ersbip of all lands whatsoever between . the longitudes of 60 •' and 142 .rand | north 6t the Canadian mainland, right up ; to the pole itself. It topk that step ■ because the three expeditions that planned 1 to visit ’ the Arctic this Rummer are un . der Norwegian, American and British . auspices respectively. Canada took the field, accordingly, to assert its claims in . advance of, any that the explorers them* 1 selves • might make. . ' • ' j 1 Mr, MacMillan, it is said, has asked our State department about the attitude , of our government upon this matter. We • do not know what he was told, but his . torically it is the fact that this country has never considered that it had any title to newly discovered land except that con ferred by settlement or at least by the establishment of something like a supply depot. Logically it could hardly recog nise the claim of Any other'country to unoccupied land .unless the claims were similarly supported. The Capadlgn ~t|tle to the archipelago of islands, great and small, north of Hud son Bay res|ts upon their diwtovery by ' British • navigators and 'their contiguity to the Candiau mainland and to one an other. With ■ regard to Baffin Island, Banks Land. Prince of Wales Island, King William Land and Parry Islands, and so forth, that title has never been seriously disputed by any one and prob ably never will be. The case of Kites mere Land. Axel Heiberg Land and oth er islands farther north .is not so clear. American and Norwegian explorers have done more than any otilers to make those territories known; but neither Norway uort the I’nited States has hitherto act up any official claim to them, though there are reports from Oslo that Norway may decide to contest Canada’s title to Axel Heiberg Land, at least. As for land that may hereafter be discovered, its final ownership cannot be said to be fin ally determined by any claims made in advance. That is the kind of question which nations have to settle by confer ence nnd agreement, i. A subpolar land mass, if it exists, is as likely, to be north of Alapk as north of Canada, but we doubt whether the United States could sustain any claim to any ice fields and mountains that may lie north of Alaska except first through the right of discovery, and then through the act pf. settlement. Hitherto no ine has bothered very much about these Arctic land masses bi cause they seemed to be of no particular value to any one. Now, however, it is suggested that there may be mineral de* posits there that can be got at to Some means or other. Still more definite ip their usefulness as supply bases and rest : ing places for airplanes, in’ease commu nication by air becopnses .as common as it promises to be. - .
