Hirers, of the Peaslee-Gaulhert Company, distributor of Diamond tires. "There is really no necessity for the multiplicity of sizes and types of tires which manufacturers have been making and dealers have been carrying In stock. And yet I doubt whether we would have weeded out the nonessentials short of 1950 had the old world continued to drift along in 1912 fashion. "When an automobile designer specified a tire of different size or type tire manufacturers simply mad it. No one stopped to inquire whether some existing size or type wouldn't suit just as well.
As a result have had a total of 287 different tires, with consequent high manufacturing costs and large investments by dealers who endeavored to carry a complete stock. "By the recent action of the pneumatic tire division of the War Service Board rims on new cars will be limited to six inches and It will be simple for tiremakers to follow suit by reducing to nine standard tire sizes. The new dimensions are as follows Rims 30X31. clincher, 32x314 straight side, 33x4 straight side, 34x 4V straight side, 36x6 straight side, 38x7 straight side. Tires 30x3Vi clincher.
31x4 clincher, 32x3 straight side, 33x4 straight side, 34x4. straight side. 35x5 straight side, 36x6 straight side, 3Sx7 straight side, 40x8 straight side. "Some sizes are abandoned immediately. Others are continued tor varying periods, but by November 1, 1920, the entire plan will be in effect.
"The new programme will be adopted generally, giving" car owners plenty of opportunity to change their rim equipment where the car will outlive the supply of odd-siz tires. All new automobiles will conform to the new standards, gradually eliminating all demand for odd sizes." THREE LOUISVILLE MEN ARE NEW YORK VISITORS to The Courier-Journal. New York, July 27.

Osterrieth. Maj. Osterrleth is now the head of the Belgian Military Mission, and at the suggestion of Americans especially interested in extending help to Belgium and its people, the Belgian Mission has made arrangements for the sale of a souvenir flower for the purposo of raising money for Belgian babies. The money thus raised will be turned over to the Belgian Military Mission in the first iustance and will then be sent directly to Queen Elizabeth, by whom it will be expended for the relief of the little children of Belgium.
The importance of this work is understood when it is stated that the cruelly oppressive measures taken by the German military government have had for their principal object the practical destruction of the Belgian people in order that their beautiful country may be colonized by a purely German population, it being the hope of the German Imperial Government that the territory of Bel- glum will become a permanent part of the German Empire. odier I 'NCC- Wo 71 1 'Lai We are building our service reputation on Expert Workmanship Moderate Prices Promnt Deliveries VMav we orove iu lu yuu; Vdoll Greenville is a little old town Tffth homes in it that date back to the days of the pioneers.

Just across the river, but when the turnpike was established it was picked up, bag and baggage, and moved to the place where things were really happening.
Just across the bridge which marks the limit of the town there Is a sign showing a detour to the Jackson Highway. Nine miles out on this road Is the picturesque site of the old Beck Mill. The wonder of the great spring, the magnificence of the grand old trees, the surprises' of the winding stream, and the ruggedness of the hills around make this spot well worth the attention of the tourist for the sake of its beauty alone, and It has been a favorite resort for picnickers and sightseers for years.

Prof. W. E. Bryant, of the University of Kentucky, spoke enthusiastically of the approaching campaign for an increased wheat acreage in Kentucky, and stated that the extension department of the Kentucky University was co-operating with Dr. Samuel Halley, chairman of the Agricultural Committee of the Kentucky Council of Defense, and the plan of an extended campaign among the farmers of the State.
A red, white and blue card with the words "I am helping to win the war" will be tacked on the gatepost of every farmer who agrees to increase his wheat acreage. Judge Dysert. Mayor of Ashland, and a member of the Boyd County Council of Defense, expressed the pleasure of the city of Ashland in having the Kentucky Council meet in that city. The open session was closed with a patriotic speech by Congressman Field, who made a plea for war work and activity on behalf of all Kentuckians. He paid a tribute 'o the American soldiers and to the boys in khaki who are in the various cantonments in this country and who are eager to go to France and put in their stroke for the comir.r.

Ratifications of the British and Canadian recruiting treaties with this United States will be exchanged In London next Tuesday. From July 31 to September 28, both inclusive, British subjects in the United Slates, including declarants who are of present United States draft age, have their last chance of enlisting, if they wish, in the British and Canadian armies. After September 28, they become liable to compulsory service, under the draft law, in the United States army. British subjects, including declarants, 20 years or more and between 31 and 4-1, both Inclusive, are also within the recruiting convention. For these men President Wilson will appoint a day on which they will havo to register.
For thirty days after that day they will have their last chanco of voluntarily enlisting in the British and Canadian armies. On the 31st day after registering if they have not so enlisted they become liable to compulsory service under the American draft law. If British subjects desire to be ex empted by the British Ambassador from military service under the conventions, they should apply as soon as possible Canadians to Ottawa, and others to Washington. Such exemption may be granted only within the periods of sixty or thirty days before referred to. Full particulars arc given In the exemption regulations, which have been published, and iaa be had from any British recruiting office or any British consular officer.

A little farther along the Dixie highway beyond Fredericksburg there Is another detour worth investigation. That is the one that leads to Marengo Cave. The turn, to the left, Is also plainly marked and the cave is about twelve miles distant. Although Marengo Cave cannot, for a moment, compare in size with Mammoth, some scientists claim that there is not, In all the world, as beautiful an underground formation as Marengo's "Crystal Palace." Its walls and celling are fashioned with exquisite charm.
There are draperies of sparkling silver and archways and panels set with gems of unsurpassed coloring. Overhead thousands of crystal pendants gleam and glitter in the flekerlng light of the wavering torches. Statue Hall, Music Hall, Mammoth Hall, Cave Hill Cemetery, the Prison Cell, Solomon's Temple and the Pilared Pallace all are marvelous in their construction and almost uncanny in their fascination. Thousands of tourists have visited this cave since its discovery In 18S9. How Discovery "Was Made.
There Is, it will be noted, a very strong family resemblance between the story they tell of its discovery and the one that is related of Mammoth Cave. In Kentucky it was a hunter following a wounded bear to its hiding place, was it not, who first found that wonderfu cavern. Here it was a child chasing a rabbit. The size of the story, has, you see, been decreased in proportion to the size of the caves. Marengo Cave possesses one advantage, and that is it can all be seen In a four-hour trip.
Special suits are not required, but good, stout walking shoes are a necessity. The trip to Marengo makes a delightful day's outing, for the grounds have been made into a park, where picnic parties are more than welcome. There is also a hotel near at hand for the folks who prefer sitting up to the table instead of sitting down to it. A small charge is made for guides and lanterns, but the park and pavilion are free to all. RECORDS OF THE DAY IN LOUISVILLE Sntiinlay, July 27, 101S.

About 1,000,000 Liberty bonds of the first, second and third Issues have been registered by the Treasury against loss by theft, and Secretary McAdoo has adopted a definite policy of encouraging owners to have their bonds registered, which can be done without cost. Applications for registration and full information may be obtained at most banks. A plan by which subscribers can register their bonds by filling out and mailing to the Treasury an information coupon borne by the original lond may be developed for the fourth loan.

Express Lines il H-ff I I -Train Quaint Old Landmarks To Be Found Along Dixie Highway.
When motorists from Louisville cross the Ohio River and start northward on the Dixie Highway they are again upon a road whose history Is almost as old as the State itself. The survey of ths road was ordered by the General Assembly as pne of the first measures in its session of 1S20. It was then the New Albany and Vin-cennes State road. Later, in 1835, after the passage of the famous internal improvement bill, it became the New Albany turnpike. Financial difficulties, which seem to bo chronic in road-building, led to its purchase by a chartered company in 1S50.
After much litigation and political wirepulling it was put on a paying basis as a toll pike, and so it remained until recent times at least, within the memory of those of us who are old enough to go to war. Interesting Road To Travel. If you are a good listener, this is a wonderfully interesting road lo travel in company with someone familiar with its history. Quaint old landmarks are found all along the way, each with a story peculiarly its own. BUCK'S Eastern Kentucky Perfecting Chairmen File Reports At Meeting of Council of Defense.
Eastern Kentucky is thoroughly in earnest and eager to perfect an organization for all varieties of war work, was proved very satis- factorily at the semi-monthly meet-I ing of the Kentucky Council of J)e- fense, held in xVshland last Wednesday. Business of the council was discussed at the executive meeting held at the mornjng session and the open meeting held in the Elk's Clubhouse at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, reports of the different chairmen of the County Councils of Eastern Kentucky were presented. Edward W. Hines, chairman of the Kentucky Council of Defense, presided over the meeting, and was introduced by A. Patton, chairman of ljoyd County Council of Defense.
Mr. Patton, in giving his report of the progress of work in Boyd county, stated that the county was handicapped by a lack of farm labor and also reported that efforts were being made to meet the shortage before next year. A word of commendation was given for the splendid Fourth of July cele-bation held both in Ashland and Cat-lettsburg. Anna Poage. chairman of the Committee on Publicity of the Woman's Committee of Boyd county, gave a gratifying report of the success in organizing four-minute speakers for patriotic work.
The speakers had been recruited from all walks of lire in Boyd county. R. S. Wilson, chairman of the Greenup county council, reported that the organization in his county was proceeding with satisfactory results, and the people were particularly Interested in the plan of community councils for war activities. W.
W. Ball. chairman of the Mason county council, reported that his council was actively at' work in the organization of community councils, and a number of highly successful public meetings had been held recently. Mr. Ball stressed the Importance of the organization of the negroes of the county for war work, and reported that he had found many colored citizens keenly anxious to do something to help win the war.
J. S. Cline, chairman of the Pike County Council, made the report that through the officers of the Pike County Council a fine amount of enthusiasm hart been aroused in the r-nnnTv for hpr to feed her own peo ple. This announcement, in view of the fact that county is a coai-rroducing county rather than an agricultural district, met with appreciative applause in the meeting. A further evidence of the patriotism of PIUo countv was indicated in the report that no cases of sedition and little or no disloyalty had been dis- rrverprl.
H. C. Cottle, speaking as the chairman of the Morgan County Council, outlined how the council had been engaged for some time in successful effort to help the cut with their agricultural and stated that his suggestion to tl'-e farmers to raise buckwheat as sub-: titute for wheat id been adopted the county.

To-morrow Louisville people will be given an opportunity to purchase the blue flowers, tied with the Belgian colors, which will be offered for sale by groups of Louisville girls. There is every reason to believe that it will be shown that Louisville has not forgotten what Belgium has meant to the world. History asserts that if the millions of Xerxes could have crushed Greece. the higher civilization of mankind would have been arrested. And now all the world knows that if the Kai sers millions nan oeen permitted lu make their procession along the Meuse in triumph that the fate of the world would have been the black ness of Kultur.
But the world realizing the imper ishable debt it owes to Belgium, is endeavoring to save Belgium's babies. Through the sale of the souvenir flowers, on a day that Is Known as "Queen Elizabeths Flower -Day, funds are being secured to care for Belgian babies, and to-morrow Louisville will have a chance to give that Belgium may live.
