—It's DEFINITE lt'3 DEFINITE—that's the BIG difference in thte Studebakei Service. Expect you know all about the other kinds that promise this or that or invite you to "drop in if anything happens." Studebaker Service is a N E W development in the field. When you get your car, a service of DEFINITE dates . are written on a card and given you. On those days, your car comes into our garage; and expert mechanics go over it—make 41 distinct inspections, oilings and adjustments tightening up and tuning up the vvhole car. And vvhen- the car comes back, it's in tip-top shape and you are given advice to help ybu keep it so. Month after month, it gets the same thorough attention. And the result is that by the time a few months have passed, your car is not only running like a clock, but J'OU know how to take proper care of it yourself, and you know how to cut your maintenance costs down to the bone.

Federal Inquiry or Railroad Strike? Faced by demands from the conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen
that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal.
With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by sucb a public body.
Railrdads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration T h e formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of
the controversy is as follows: " O u r conference! h » e demonnraied thii we cannot harmonise .bur dlfferencet of opinion and that ercntualty tbe mattcrt in coniroveriy mutt be paiied upon by other and diiintcrested agencici. Therefore, wc propoie that your propoiaU and the proposition of the railwayt be diipoied of by one or the other of the following methoda: 1. Preftrably by lubmiiiion to fhe Intcntate Cominercc Commiiiion, the only tribunal which, by reaton of iti accumulated inlormation bearing on railway conditioni and iti control of the revenue of the railway!, ii in a position to consider and protect the rights and equities of all the interests affected-, and to provide additional revenue necessary to meet the added cost oT. operation in ease your proposals are found by the Commission to be just and reasonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce Commission cannot, under existing laws, act in the premises, that we jointly.request Congress fo take such action as may be necetsary to enable the Commission to consider and promptly dispose ol the questions involved; or 2. By arbitration in accordance nith'the provisions of the Federal law" (The Newlands Act).
Leaders Ref use Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at thc joint conference held in New
York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit thc issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whether authority shall bc given these leaders to declare a nationrwide strike.
The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issiie ought to be referred for these reasons:
.Vo other body with such an intimate knowltdge of railroad conditions has such an unquestioned position in the public confidence.
The rates thc railroads may charce the public for transportation are now largely' f a c r j ^ this Government board. , ^
Out of every, dollar received by the railroads fro®5 , Ihe pubiic nearly oiie.half is paid directly to the em
ployes at wages; and the money to pay increased wages can come from no other source than the rates paid by the public.
Thc Interstate Commerce Commission, with its control oyer rates, is in a position to ma t t a complete investigation and render such decision as would protect the interests o l / S ^ railrpa^ employes, thc owners of the railroads; a n ^ J e public,'
A Question For the Public to ^^cide' The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment of
$100,000,000 a year to these, employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts.
7/ie single tsstte. before the country is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.

The "Gold-Standard-in Tires
GOODRICH Tire Values are not at all "Accidental."
They spring from Condititms which are logical as the Laws of the Universe.
The best-intentioned Tire Manufacturer carinot AVOID being heavily handicapped when competing against them.
Because,—Goodrich "Conditions" summarize into this:—
1st—Tlie loiKjcst Experience in Mfg. the Product. •
2nd—Tiie c/'Cu.'.:..i Leverage on purchasing of Raw ]\IatGriais at lowest prices, through ability io take la-rgest quantities.
Srd^The loi'jcst Cost of Mamifacturing, -through largest VOLUME of Output.
4th—The clearly-demonstrated INTENTION to give Consumeis and Dealeis the full benefit of the large ECONOMIES resulting from possession of the three Cardinal Advantages above defined.
THE Produtt of such a Rubber-Concern,—when marketed under sjtc/i conditions,—giving the bene
fit o.f such huge Economies to Consumers may well, and logically, be considered— the "GOLD-STAN.DARD'.' in Tire Values.
Therefore:— —When you pay MORE than the Good
rich Fair-List prices, here printed, for ANY Fabric Tire, you are merely "contributing" the difference.
Because,—You CANNOT get "better" Fabric Tires,—at ANY price!
Test them thoroughl-y,—and see! THE B. F. GOODRICH CO.

T o tlio Kdltor ; In last week's paper there was an
item in the Harvard new-s to .the effect that Principal Kichards of Hriim-Tield school had tried lo find two boys in this town and send them to the I ' la t t sburg t ra ining c a m p for bo.vs, at i ' lum Island, but ha(l succeeded in finding but one boy. and that one his own son. This, in spite of the promise that all expenses would be paid. Such a s ta tement was an almost unbeliev-.ible one. for most peojile would have supiiosed that the chief trouble would hiix'c been in selecting the riitht boys r a the r than the rev*-rse.
. \ s a resident fit th is town, and proud to be part of it. 1 am deeply mortified to learn tha t out of all the eligible boys Itere the re Is but one wh(.i has enoutth red blood in his \-eins to take ad\-antagc tit such tm oppor tuni ty. .-Vnd it is a •wonderful one. There is no th ing like such a camp with its millt.ary discipline. Its mental and bodily t raining, its close companionship with boys from other sections, to br ing fiut all that is best ,and m.anliest in a hoy. a n d ' in these days when "pre pa redness" IS talked of everywhere, when the country is on the verge of w-ar. w-hen the I'laltsbur.g camps ,are full r.f eager men. m.any of them of large business and [irofessional interests, who -are read.v and willing to give their t ime and mone\- to tret --nicb a tra ining. It seeiiis lamenttible that in t'nis fine old town but one boy couid be found who would give up jiart of his s u m m e r ' s vacation for such a purpose.

What gives more comfort than a cool breeze, on-a hot day? ..\nd liow much isn't one willing to spend to get i t -yes, spend to go after if and often.not get it?
Yet, a cool breeze is one of the most easily derived of all hot weather comforts and one of the least expensive, when obtained from an ELECTRIC FAN.
It can be used in any room having an ordinarj' incandescent lamp socket. All you have to do to get a breeze i s to connect fan to socket and turn the switch.
