Gum-Dipping--the only known method of insulating every fiber of every cord with rubber--gives the strongest construction possible. And the special Steam-Welding process makes Firestone tubes both leak-proof and long-wearing--further increasing the life of the tire. Two Man Opponents . hand is a game that mused hundreds of young men and boys at stag parties and the number can vary from four to forty who play it. One boy volunteers to be "it" and bends over a chair with his eyes hidden in his arms. Some boy behind him then slaps him and the boy who is "it" looks up quickly and tries to guess who struck him. If he guesses right the first time, the one who was guessed takes his place. If he guesses wrong the process is repeated until he does guess the right one. A very funny game of double hot hand can be developed from this also. Have two boys lie down on the floor be&ide each other. One of the boys is to be the victim of the Joke and the other cover both with a sheet or something. After they are both covered, one of the two boys on the floor reaches up and slaps his partner and the quickly ducks back under the sheet. Then the boy who was slapped tries to guess which one of those standing around him was the one who struck him. Of course, he never guesses the right one. The one who does the slapping also makes out that he was struck also and tries to guess who hit him but of course all of that talk is to keep the boy under the sheet with him from guessing who is the guilty party all the time. This makes barrels of fun for the other boys or young men looking on. v Twist stick--In this, two boys have hold of a stick between them and at a signal from the referee try to twist the stick from their opponent. Bull Dog Fight--In this two boys face each other and a single or a double belt is placed around their necks, so that both ears are inside the belt. At a signal from the referee, each boy begins to pull backward without using his hands in any way. The boy who out-pulls his Opponent is the winner. _ Boxing Hats--In this each Boy faces his opponent and each wears a hat or cap lightly on his head. They then box &nd try to knock off their opponent's hat without losing their own. Cock Fight--Similar to Bull Fight described before. Each boy holds up one foot behind him with his hand on his ankle. Hopping around on the other foot, he tries , to push his opponent outside of the circle or else to cause him to break his hold. Bulling--In this each boy faces his opponent standing and they grab hold of each other's arms and by pushing or pulling try to make the opponent move one foot or the othef from position. m M.

"Carrying CoaUP Newcastle Is a center of the British coal trade, and a great port for the shlppiug of It. To "carry coals to Newcastle" Is a waste of labor, a futile, or unnecessary effort to supply a need already well supplied. The phrase Is of Seventeenth century origin, or perhaps older. But similar proverbs exist In many languages. There Is one In French about "carrying water to the river." Ancient Greece has one about taking owls to Athena--Athenian coins being stamped with the owl; and an Oriental poet speaks of "Importing pepper into Hindustan." . . » , . - - * * * * * - * " ' ' » " » * * rr is easier now than ever before to give your home the advantages of electric light and power.
