NO OTHER TIRE EIRE IT !
TWstott*
CHAMPION
giSs®,S
FROM the innermost fibre
to the sensational new
Gear Grip Tread, every*
thing in this smart, stream
lined Firestone Champion
tire is pew and different. It
sets up entirely new stand
ards of safety and long
mileage because it is the re
sult of Firestone’s quarter
century of experience in
building tires for race track
speeds.
Here are some of the tilings
you get in Firestone Cham
pion tires—new Safety-Lock
pords treated with a new and
advanced Gum-Dipping pro
cess; 27% stronger bond be
tween tread and body; 35%
greater heat protection
against blowouts; an
amazing new tread with
thousands of sharp-edged
angles for quick stops—a
tread that gives 11%
more non-skid mileage.
Not only is the Firestone
Champion an engineering
triumph but it is super
value as well—fdt, with
all its extra value, i/ does
not cost one cent more
than ordinary tires. Have
your nearby Firestone
Dealer put them on today.

A beautiful young thing, more at

dark green curtains and framed
in oak.
The hostess, noticing that she was
embarrassed, and also struck by
her loveliness, approached

just like an old Rembrandt.”
The young thing eyed her
hostility and coldly retorted: “Well,

Exeter is grateful that she was able to do as she did when
challenged by the Victory, Loan. She- thanks the generations of

The extra roll on the
work is the very best
thing, in sight. * There’s nothing like it. The .folk who got down to
■{he day’s work made it possible for Us to go over the top in the
recent Victory loan campaign. Those savings transferred to the
government were paid out of savings, and savings came out of the
sweat and delight of the day’s work . The day’s work is one of the
big secrets of morale. Something accomplished, something done,
earns not only a night’s repose’’but it adds to the gray matter and
the nerve and sinew of character. It prepares us for emergencies,
makes us march to the forward step of the conqueror,

of governments too supine to deal promptly and vigorously With
emergencies that hold in their hands the fate of civilization as we
know it?

REPEATER TUBES IN ACTION
When you hear a voice coming to you clear
and distinct over hundreds of miles of tele
phone line, then repeater tubes are in action.
They keep the voice up to strength, no mat
ter how far it is travelling.
Formerly these repeater tubes required as
much electricity as a 15-watt lamp and lasted
only a few weeks. Bell Telephone research
and manufacture have developed a tube that
now does a better job, lasts 20 times as long,
consumes 1/5 of the power and costs about a
quarter of (the older tube.
That’s just an example of what research is do
ing for telephone service — improving it, ex
tending its scope and keeping costs within
bounds. * Research has made the telephone
