service led by Miss Glenola Baker.
The evening was then given over
to recreation of various kinds, the
first of which was a personal inter-
view in which each one present gave
the place of their birth, travels, am-
bition -and*which college they pre-
fer. The reading of these were
very^ interesting as some expressed
die desire to attend the greatest
colleges and each had high am-
bitions, some extending to the pres-
idency of the United States. This'
was followed by several outdoor
games. Upon retiring to the house
again they were treated to refresh-
ments of ice cream and angel food
cake, during which they indulged in
a guessing contest based on “the
human body.”
Those attending were: Misses Mar-

The “gadget” is a little machine that
shows the difference between ordinary
cord, used in other tires, and Super-
twist cord, used in Goodyears.. .That
difference is in the stretch and come-
back—you can see how Supertwist cord
stretches and comes back, how the cord
in other tires loses its life and elasticity
... It takes about 3 minutes to tell the
story—but as this customer said—“If
every car owner could see that demon-
stration, there wouldn’t be anything
used but Goodyear Tires.”
