to revive last year, after the ear
ly postwar tumble. The retread
industry says that one reason for
the new popularity is that the
maKers are putting salt, sawdust
or nut shells in them. And at
least one company punches little
noies in recapped tires to in
crease their sales appeal.
Motorists add that a chief rea
son they are having tires redone
is that they have to watch their
personal Dudgets now more than
in the first flush postwar years.
They note that several leading
tire companies have just hiked
prices three and one-half percent
on new tires and there is talk
of further price increases before
the end of the year.
But tire makers Insist that a
leading reason for the jump in
demand for retreads is that new
processes, materials, and meth
ods have made the rebuilt tire
superior to the one you bought
ten years ago, or even during
the wartime shortage of new
tires. The postwar retread, they
say, wears longer and holds the
road better.

upon the use of sawdust In re
treads mainly by accident. Dur
ing the war, when they were try
ing to make a little rubber go
as far as possible, they mixed in
a little sawdust. As the tires were
driven, the sawdust fell out. The
pockmarked tread held the road
better. So now, B. F. Goodrich
and some others put sawdust in
its recap material.
U. S. Rubber, however, uses
rock salt for the same purpose.
As the salt or sawdust works out
of the tire, the holes that are
left give the tire a better grip,
the companies say. They scoff at
the notion, advanced by some
drivers, that the salt melts the

Adverse Report
PROVIDENCE, R. I., Nov. 4.
UP) A grand jury's criticism
of the Providence Journal-Bulle
tin for printing an aHidavIt
charging a Providence cafe was
a iront tor a national lottery syn
dicate and was operating with
police protection brought an edi
torial plea of "not guilty" from
the newspaper Thursday.
ine grand jury reported it had
no evidence linking a providence
cafe named in the affidavit as a
front for the syndicate with no
nce nor any proof that hush
money was paid for protection.
The jury rebuked the news
paper for arousing fears in the
city through publication of an af
fidavit given by Pasquale Borino,
a former employee at the cafe.
"It seems to us," the jury said,
"that it should be the duty of
newspapers to report their find
ings to the police authorities in
the first instance, and thus work
with rather than handicap law
enforcement."
The Journal-Bulletin replied
that the affidavit "was checked
with the utmost possible care"
and said "responsible police au-

Cream Designed to Fade Spots
f V:-r v :'!:
L '
Your own two hands nrny seem to be your worst fashion enemies
now that autumn's ultra-feminine styles are upon us. Hut lady, take
heart. There's a wonderful new cream on the market that fades
weathered brown spots from your hands as well as freckles and
blemishes from the outer skin.
The first preparation of its kind ever developed, the new ranish-Ing-type
cream is a miracle worker in turning out those pale hands
that men traditionally favor. The secret of its success is a oenetrating
serent, blended with a non-oily base, which breaks up 'mass skin
pigment.
After summer gardening, picnicking, beaching, and golfing, the fall
re-conditioning process for your hands can be remarkably simple this
year. Just smooth the cream lightly on tho hands. While It smoothes
them and makes them whiter-looking, its penetrating agent acts as
a pigment breaker, fading age-spots and freckles. Furthermore, the
manufacturer (who evidently believes in the seeing-is-bclieving phil
osophy) has attached a small magnifying glass to each jar so you
can actually check up on those age-spots, blemishes, and freckles.
