Telling "Our Bob"
Some funny things happen in this life. When
Senator R. R. Our Bob" Reynolds tired of Washing
ton life recently, he concluded to go down to the Vir
gin Islands and tell the natives there just how they
might sing and dance. However, they seemed not to
like his methods, and some of the newspapers report
ed that he was told to return “to his women and
wine."
At any rate, "Our Bob," according to his statement,
concluded it would be best to have his whole com
mittee present before tackling the job at hand there.
He found that the Virgin Islands did not furnish the
right climate for him, so he rushed back to the States,
presumably to marry a widow.
Stop The Profits And You Stop War
The Congress of the United States is appropriating
a half a billion dollars for the purchase of machin
ery to kill people.
The word seems to come down from some place
every time Congress meets, virtually ordering them
to providt expenditures for materials with which to
kill people. And not only does that same order come
to the United States it also goes out to the governing
bodies of Japan. Italy, Germany, Fracen England and
all the others. The war lords seem to have full power
over all the nations.
In the late World War, some private individual
or partnership, made a net profit of a million dollars
for every three men lost. And there is the root of the
evil. When war profits are stopped, 99 per cent of
the wars will be stopped. Of course, there is no way
to guess when the people will have sense enough to
stop listening to war profiteers.
A Chain Letter Racket
Morganton Xew-Herald.
A general warning should be sounded throughout
the country advising all unsuspecting souls to look out
for a chain letter racket that seems to be "going some"
in sections of the West. So great was the extra load
of mail in Denver, Colo., that postmen were greatly
burdened.
In brief the plan being worked is to send out a
chain letter requesting the receiver to place his name
at the bottom of the list, scratch off the name at the
top and send a dime to the person whose name has
been eliminated.
Postal Inspector Roy E. Xelson last week attempt
ed to discover what would happen if a chain, start
ing from a single letter, were to be unbroken through
twelve phases.
He found to his amazement that in twelve progres
sions more than 305,000,000 persons would receive
letters in an unbroken chain. This is two and one-half
times the population of the United States. Mr. Xel
son also calculated that of this number 3,911 would
get §6,103,505.50 and the rest nothing.

PROTECT YOUR LIFE
AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS!
There are three questions you should ask yourself about the tires you buy;
1— "Will the non-skid tread give me the greatest
traction and protection against skidding?"
2— "Are they built to give me the greatest
blowout protection?"
3— "Without sacrificing these two important
safety features will they give me longer
* mileage, thus making them the most
economical tires I can buy?"
Answer No. 1—Harvey S. Firestone early realized
the value of tire traction and safety and was the first to
design an All Rubber Non-Skid Tire. Through the years
Firestone has led the way in the design and development
of tires with most effective non-skid treads.
Firestone does not depend solely on traction and
non-skid tests made l>y its own engineers—it employs a
leading University to make impartial tests for non-skid
efficiency of its tires, and their most recent report shows
that Firestone High Speed Tires stop the car 15%
quicker than the best of all popular makes of tires.
Answer No. 2—Blowout protection must be built
into a tire. Friction and heat within the tire is the greatest
cause of blowouts. Firestone protects its tires from
friction and heat by a patented process which soaks
every cord and insulates every strand with pure liquid
rubber. This is an additional process known as
Gum-Dipping, by which every 100 pounds of cotton cords
absorb eight pounds of rubber. This extra process costs
more and :s not used in any other make of tire.
Leading race drivers investigate the inbuilt qualities
of the tires they use, I>ecause their very lives depend
upon their tires, and they always select Firestone Tires
for their daring speed runs. In fact, Firestone Tires have
been on the winning cars in the gruelling Indianapolis
500-mile race for fifteen consecutive years, and they were
on the 5,000-pound car that Ab Jenkins drove 3,000
miles in 231.4 hours on the hot salt beds at Lake
Bonneville, Utah, at an average speed of 127.2 miles per
hour, without tire trouble of any kind. These amazing
performance records are proof of the greatest blowout
protection ever known.
Answer No. 3—Thousands of car owners reporting
mileage records of 40,000 to 75,000 miles, is proof of
the long mileage and greater economy by equipping with
Firestone High Speed Tires. Let these unequaled
performance records be your buying guide.
Go to the Firestone Auto Supply and Service Store
or Firestone Tire Dealer and let him equip your car with
Firestone Tires, the safest and most economical tires built.
