Added 50
To Tire Mileage
A Boston tire dealer, for three years, has gath
ered data on Miller Tires. And he reports as
follows:
Users find their tire mileage increased from 50
per cent to 75 per cent
Blow-outs have been eliminated.
Uniform mileage has been accomplished.
Only six tires in 1,000 come back for adjast
itnent only five Miller Cords in a year. -
A Louisville dealer compared wear and mileage
'on 116 styles of tires which he repaired. The con
; sunt Miller supremacy has caused him now to
handle the Miller Tires only.
A California stage line made million-mile com
parisons with 21 leading makes. Ana
the Miller won by long odds.
You owe yourself a comparison
on your own car. The Miller is the
tire of the day.

L. J. Spence, director of traffic for
the Southern Pacific Company at
New York. Mr. Spence is on a trip
of inspection for the first time
since the end of the government con
trol. He stated that the impairment
of morale and efficiency among rail
road employes, as the result of
what he called "the inherent weak
ness of. government operation," was
one of he most difficult things with
which the railroad had to contend.
"However, noticeable improvement
has been made since the employes
no longer have their eyes on Wash
ington, but instead are looking to
their local superiors."
Mr. Spence said that the Southern
Pacific was doing all in its power to
restore its equipment and facilities
to the point which would satisfy the
public. The company is spending

freight rates of 25 per cent will
provide only for the increased wages

the new increase forecasted by the
Railway Labor board, the railroad
official said that he did not see how
even passenger rates would escape
an increase.

The preaentationa will take place
on Armistice day in a aeriea of aim
ultaneous ceremonies to be held un
dqr Legion auspices throughout the
world, making possible a 'tupen
dous celebration which is destined to
eclipse anything of the kind ever at
tempted in the United States. The
Legion hopes to make the event of
November 11 the crowning featuTe
of the greatest of all Armistice days
the most impressive and memora
ble patriotic function in which Amer
icana ever participated and one de
signed to live in history as an
epochal milestone in the nation's
life.
It is planned that not only mem
bers of the Legion but all ex-service
persons and the next of kin of those
who died or lost their lives in battle,
will join their comrades gnd their
countrymen in a united tribute to
the spirit of America on the anni
versary of the day in 1918 which
marked that spirit's great supreme
achievement.
"It is not with vanity but with
wholesome pride in the triumph of
our arms in the most crucial test of
strength in history," writes Frank
lin D'Olier, national commander of
the Legion, in a letter to all depart
ment officials urging enthusiastic
participation in the celebration, ,
"that the Legion appeals to all I

years to come.
"We want it to be a tribute, above
all else, to our country and our flag
and the flags of our heroic Allies.
In a still higher sense, it should be a
solemn, affectionate dedication of
our lives to the principles for which
more than 100,000 of our country
men and millions of our comrades in j
arms made the supreme and final
sacrifice. The Legion, since it is
'the splendid youth who served
America because they loved Ameri
ca,' can appropriately take the initi
ative in this movement and because
the Legion is a true and repre
sentative cross-section of our nation
al citizenship, it is confident that
Americans generally will whole
heartedly co-operate to make the
celebration a success."
