I The Rubber Association of Amer-
ica, Inc., announces that a movement
; is well op the way to adoption
throughout the tire industry to el;m-
inat the chief evils which have for
years caused loss to consumers, deal-
ers and manufacturers through im-
proper claims for adjustment, and
I manufacturers and dealers are work-
ing in harmony to produce the de-
sider result.
Hereafter manufacturers will con-
sider alleged defective tires only on
the basis of general appearance and
the condition in which they are re-
turned by the customer. No claims
will be considered unless a standard
claim form is executed by the tire
owner.
A warranty is to be printed
price lists, tags and stickers
comjanying tires, etc., much in tji:
same manner as the former so-called
guaranty was used. That portion of
the warranty that covers the change
in policy towar adjustments reads
as follows:
"We do not uarantee automobile
tires for any specific mileage, but
1 every pneumtic automobile tire bear-
ing our name and serial number is
warranted by us to be free from de-
fects in workmanship or material.
i “Tires claimed to be defective wi.l
I be received only when all transpor-
tation charges are prepaid, and when
accompanied by this Company’s
claim form duly filled out and sign-
ed by owners. If, upon examination,
it is our judgement that the direct
cause of the failure of the tire to
render satisfactory service is attrib-
utable to faulty material or woik-
jnanship, we will, at our option
either repair the tire or rep’ace it
for a charge which will compensate
for the service rendered by the re-
turned tire, based upon its general
appearance and condition.”

Notice is hereby given that the

at the County Judge’s office in Mon-

of bootleggers’ stock.
One feature of the illicit operations
is that Canada does not get the bene-
fit of exchange on American currency
paid by bootleggers for this American
whiskey, or doctored whiskey made
from American alcohol. Vast sums in
American funds paid by rum runners
from the South are transmitted to Chi-
cago and other points by express to
pay for alcoholic Importations. It is
even stated that the recent hold-up of
a railway express messenger near
Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and the rob-
bery of an express car were perpe-
trated by one International crook look-
ing for a shipment of such currency.
Police officials from Minot, N. D., on
a recent visit to Regina, declared
they had seen forged American revenue
labels being printed in a Regina estab
llshment.
“From every province In Canada to
every state bordering on the boundary
line, bootleggers are working certain
routes with all the secrecy of the Ku
Klux Klan. Fake companies, called
‘drug concerns,’ are formed in Canada.
As auch they receive permit* for the
importation of alcoholic mixtures, but
more frequently pure alcohol. Once
that alcohol is on the Canadian side
of the border the booze doctor adds
extracts and ingredients to make fin-
ished articles. Then the doctored mix-
ture is smuggled across the line by
bootleggers."
The foregoing statement was made
at Regina, Sask., by Dr. R. C. Mat-
thews, prohibition commissioner for
the United States government, at an
international conference this week at-

During the last year of the war a
shell dropped from a height of 6,000
feet upon the village of Havay, be-

the earth about fifty feet deep. This
shell weighs two tons, and the charge
of explosive Is estimated to weigh
from 1,000 pounds to a ton. Belgian
authorities have succeeded tn extract-

As a result of the conference
governments in Canada and the Uni-
ted States will be asked to supple-
ment each other’s liquor laws; Amer-
ican authorities will be asked not to
grant permits for the shipment of
liquor into Canada, except by con-
sent of the provincial governments,
and the Dominion government will be
asked not to release liquor from bond
to be shipped across the line.
Members of the Saskatchewan
Liquor commission told the conference
that 60,000 gallons of hard liquor are
in the province in warehouses; 125.-
000 gallons in bonded warehouses, and
40,000 gallons of alcohol held in bond
by five companies.
One instance was cited In which
a car was shipped from Kentucky to
Winnipeg. The shipper, Canadian,
made arrangements to have the car
robbed in Minneapolis. During the
“framed" robbery a mun was shot and
killed; the consignee arrested, and.
after being liberated on ball, sent the
car to a Regina liquor firm. After It
was doctored here, it was handed ou:
to smugglers. To give the doctored
