Hie Secret of a
Superlative Tire
The whole question of a super-tire is a matter of principles.
For there is nothing exclusive in the industry. No patents,
no secret formulas prevent a conscientious maker from build
ing the best. ,
But cc‘ rnd competition modify ideals. The Brunswick
idea is to p: v pauecUon’s price and get it.
That ha s- b, i the Brunswick policy since 1845. And it ac
counts for ti e growing preierence for Brunswick Tires.
Motorists expect the utmost from a tire bearing the name of
Brunswick and get it.
You, too, will be convinced by your first Brunswick, that
here is an extraordinary tire, and that more money cannot buy
a belter.
Better tires of their type are impossible —or better tubes.
That wc guarantee.
Try ONE Brunswick learn how it excels.

Here is a piece of documentary evl
dence to prove the need of opening
the doors of the old Turkish empire
to free commercial intercourse will
the western world. This method ol
Irrigation ditching is used today ir
northern Mesopotamia. The men d<
not even use first-class shovels. Tin
British have Introduced many new
agricultural implements, but most oi
the work done In the fertile plains o)
Mesopotamia is typical of the days o)
Moses.
That rich region, us well as manj
other parts of the old Turkish ora
pipe, need only the modern machlnerj
of America and western Europe t<
make it produce wonderful crops. Ir
ligation is the first problem in Mesa

Rigorous Mourning.
“Germany's week of mourning over
the harshness of our pence terms was
rigorously observed —nit,” said Major
Frederick Palmer, the famous war cor
respondent.
“There’s a story about the week of
mourning from Berlin. A Berllnese
assistant theater manager said to the
manager:
“ ‘ls our burlesque going to observe
the week of mourning, boss?’
“‘Rigorously, sir, rigorously,’ the
boss replied.
“ ‘Close down—is that the Idea?’ said
the assistant.
“'Close down nothing!’ said the
boss. ‘V'e’ll put all the chorus girls
In black silk stockings.'"

SOMETHING MORE THAN PLAY
Crippled Soldier Pleasantly Surprised
at Result of Work at Which He
Amused Himself.
Flow n ring got a wounded soldier
a new occupation In life Is told by
tin* federal hoard for vocational edu
cation, which Is helping the handi
capped men of the army, navy and ma
rine corps get back Into the work-a
day world.
A veteran of Belleau wood colled
upon the board. His left leg gone, he
appeared listless and without hope.
He sat talking to the adviser, now and
then slowly turning a ring on his
finger. The adviser, to get the man's
confidence, asked to see the ring.
The man suddenly became animated.
“I made that,” he said. “Hammered
It out of silver mvself, and engraved
those figures on the outside. Nothing
but some playing of mine,” he added.
The adviser looked at the ring, noted
the engraving, and said:
“How would you like to learn en
graving?”
“Doing this?” said the soldier, fin
gering his ring. “Say. Otis ain’t work
—lt’s Just play.”’
"Let’s have a try at It,” replied the
adviser.
The federal board sent the man to
learn engraving, and In a few months
he qualified for a good Job in a Jew
elry store.
Glasses for Appearance Sake.
“Miss Bessie, If you are going to
;own today, I wish you would buy my
dster, who lives In the north, a pair

young lady addressed, “I could not get
your sister a pair of glasses. She

Annie reassuringly, “she wrote me that

Home-Made Wine O. K.’d.
The principal Senate amendment liber
alizing the prohibition enforcement bill to
permit home manufacture of “non-intox
cating” cider and light wines has been
accepted by the House conferees and
placed finally in the bill subject to action
on the conference report.
In adopting the Senate amendment au
! thorizing the making of light wines and
cider for domestic use, the conferees
added a further liberalizing provision
permitting transportation of “non-intoxi
cating” ciders and wines for conversion
into vinegar.
! The principal controversy yet to be
settled is over the “burden of proof” in
the case of persons found intoxicated.

What The War Cost.
Tacoma, Wash., Sept. 13. —Presi-
dent Wilson in his speech here pre
sented the following startling figures
of the cost of the world war:
I teatlis on the field of battle, 7,-
150,200, divided among the principal
belligerents as follows:
Russia, 1,700,000; (Jermany, 1,-

300.
These losses compare with fewer
than 0,000,000 suffered in all the
wars in the world from 1703 to 1914.
The total cost of the war in dollars
was $186,000,000,000. The En

TREATY WITIiJU 1 AMENDMENT
Sty Every Day Of Delay Puts World
In Imminent Herll Of New-War.
Point To National
Unrest.
New York. —(Special.)—Two hundred
knd fifty ieau.ag Americans, Repub
licans and Ds.iijci'ats representing for
ty different slates and every prominent
activity have joined m a uon-parlisan
effort to bring abo.it Hie a'alilicaUon
of tue Peace Treaty "Without amend
meat and w.u-.om delay.” Their names
are attached to an address to the
United States Senate, which was made
public today, through the League to
Enforce Pe-ce, ui.cr it had been sent
to every member ol the Senate.
The signers, almost without excep
tion, are men and women of national
reputation. They include ai.ch promi
nent citizens as ex-President Taft,
George W. Wickersham, Attorney Gen
eral in the lest P.epubiicaii administra
tion; A. Lawrence Lowell, president of
Harvard; Charles C. Moore, of San
Francisco, president of the Panama
Exposition; Judge George Gray, ol
Wilmington, Del.; President Samuel
Gompers, ot the American Fetation
of Labor; Harry A. Wheeler, of C'hica
go, retiring president of the Chamber
of Commerce of ihe United States;
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Call, president
of the National American Woman Suf
frage Association; Cyrus H. K. Curtis,
Hie Philadelphia publisher; President
Berber J. Grunt, of the Mormon
Church, and Spargo. leader of Hie So
cialists. who supported the war.
The signers declare that every day
of delay in ratifying the treaty puls
Hie world in “imminent peril of new
war.”
Their statement follows;
In the Senate at Washington, now
that the committee on foreign rein
tions has reported the treaty, the lines
are sharply drawn between the imme
diate ratification of the treaty of peace
with Germany, and Its amendment with
a reassembling of the conference and
• reopening of negotiations that would
bring great delay and prolonged un
certainty in settling the great issues ot
the peace. No partisan plea can be
made. Party lines are already broken.
Standing at a distance from the
conflict in the Senate chamber, we
plead for immediate ratification with
out delay. Our land requires it. A
state of nervous strain, tension and
nnrest exists manifesting itself in dis
turbancea. which in some cases have
no self evident connection with the
war, but which are, in fact, its after
math. The world is put In imminent
peril of new wars by the lapse of each
•Jay. Dis elisions between us and out
former allies are being sown. We firmly
believe and solemnly declare that the
States and cities in which we dwell
desire immediate peace.
The waging of war steadied and
united the American people. Peace
will bring prosperity, and prosperity
ooute.it. Delay in the Senate post
zoning ratification In this uncertain
p-r-iod of nether peace nor war has
resulted in Indecision and doubt bred
strife and quickened the cupidity ot
those who sell the dally necessities
-jf life and the fears of those whose
daily wage no longer fills the daily
market basket.
We beseech the Senate to give the
(and peace and ceitainty by a ratifies
Mon which will not keep ur longer ! n
the shadows of possible wars, but give
he whole world the light of peace.
Reservations in the nature of clarifi
ations in the meaning of the treaty,
cot inconsistent with its terms, will
not require the reopening of the ne
gotiations with Germany and with our
associates in the war, which we all
and e cii united to win.
But there is no possibility of doubt
that amendment of the treaty, as is
now proposed in the Senate Commit
tee Ga Foreign Relations, would re
quire negotiation and a reopening of
all the questions decided at Paris.
Months of delay would follow. The
perils of the present would become
the d idly dangers of the near future.
All the doubt engendered would aid
the plots for violent revolution in this
and other lands, The issues here and
elsewhere between capital and labor,
the conspiracy of speculator and prof
iteer, would all grow and become more
perilous.
This cannot be. The American peo
pie cannot, after a victorious war.
permit its government to petition Ger
many, which has accepted the treaty,
for its consent to changes In the treaty.
Yet If the United States should amend
.he treaty for its own purpose and
policy. Germany would have full right
co ask for concessions. Germany has
agreed to make no claim in regard tc
enemy property seized in this country
to an amount ot seven hundred mi!
lion dollars. Our recent foe could ask
for a reopening of this issue and of
the Lusitania claims. It could rals>
every question ope. before hoeUl.tles
Terms SI.OO in Advance.
In regard to submarine warfare and the
treatment of its nationals in this coun
try. All the provision for our trade
In Germany raised by the economic
clauses of the treaty, many of them
vital to our industries and our (arms,
as in dye patents, dye supplies and
fertilizers, the working of the Repn'vi
tion Commission, which superintends
the trade of all with Germany, couid
all be brought up by Berlin for read

Peace* itself, the peace of the world

And any amendment postpones peuc r .
Germany and England aiore of the
principal powers have ratified. The
other principals necessarily await our
action, influential and powerful as we
ar* today in the world's cff,,;rs. The
ravages of war on more than a scon
of fighting fronts are continued by an;,
needless delay. Let the Senate give
the world peace by ratification without
amendment.
Even the amendment for which most
can be said, the provision in regard to
Shantung, will secure nothing winch
cannot be gained if China, backed by
the powerful advocacy of the United
States, addresses itself to the m chin
ery for righting international wrongs
and meeting just claims creat' d by
the league between nations. China,
after eighty years of oppressive trea
ties and despoiled rights, by which oil
the great powers have profited direct
ly or indirectly, has for the first time.
In his covenant and treaty, the men as
and method to secure Justice and to'-'
removal of the oppressive economic in
terference of stronger nations v.: ■>
citizens are within her gates, prelect
ed by a long succession of interna
tional agreements. Moreover, it should
be remembered that the clause regard
ing Shantung was made upon the state
ment by Japan that she will return
the territory to China and therefore,
upon that condition, compliance with
which promise the league cm require.
The peace of the present and the
righteousness of the future can be b t
secured by the ratification of the cove
nant and treaty without amendment.
Let the Senate take no action that will
give any party to the treaty, and espe
cially Germany, ground for maintain
ing that the ratification of the United
States is not complete and that
changes requiring a resumption of
conference and negotiations have been
made in it.

OWED MUCH TO STEREOSCOPE
How Commanders During the Great
War Got Information of
Vital Importance.
The old-fashioned stereoscope
played an Important part in the
world war. It supplied an angle to
photographs, snapped from airplanes,
tlint could not he obtained from the
ordinary camera lens. Before Us use
the pictures all seemed flat, hut the
stereoscope added height, and thus
steep slopes, that appeared in pic
tures like flat ground, were shown in
their true characteristics, and the
lives of men who would have to cover
(he ground in attack were saved.
The airplane camera looks directly
down on the spot to be photographed,
making a picture ns a one-eyed man
would see it. A stereoscopic camera,
in which the lenses are two and
three-quarters Inches apart, would not
produce the stereoscopic effect. Pho
tographers decided to take pictures
100 yards apart to give a view. Just
as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart,
would see It. Those pictures were
put on cardboard, and viewed through
(he stereoscope. At first a cottage
looked like a tower, a bucket like a
well, a trench like a canyon, etc. The
officers soon learned to translate these
eccentricities, and the problem was
solved. True pictures, giving just (he
exact information desired, were then
obtained by the airplane photogra
phers. -
