And having collected and tabulated and analyzed the facts of this de facto situation, it places them before us in the overwhelming logic of their un- argued implications. R. BENSON'S book (he is the so- cialist candidate for President) labors, to begin with, under the disad- vantage of being, manifestly, a campaign document as well as a development of the author's convictions. It challenges (with excellent cause and caustic wit) the established social order. And it points out (with unanswerable precision) the various colored gentlemen either al- ready hiding in the wood-pile of pre- paredness or ready, presently, to open offices there. But it proposes to meet the actually impending crisis with noth- ing more tangible than the fine faith and unfinished program with which it chal- lenges the future. We are thus, it seems, confronted on the one hand with a con- dition, and on the other with a theory. Which shall we tackle first? HE anonymous author of “ The Grasp of the Sultan” (Houghton, Mifflin, $1.25) combines either a personal knowl- edge or a vivid imaginative conception of Turkish palace conditions with a fine disregard for inherent likelihood and a forthright gift for romantic yarning. An English “black sheep” gets a job as tutor to the multitudinous sons of the Sultan; strikes up an actual friendship with a four-year-old prince and a phan- tom love affair with his mother; wins his into the good graces of the chief eunuch, the chief cook and other powers beneath the throne, and ends a really enlivening pipe-dream by a consummated clopement.

Every Kelly-Springfield Tire you |see is a certificate attesting: ‘This is jan experienced motorist.”’ | It testifies: “This man has driven other cars, measured the wearing qualities of tires, and learned to purchase mileage at the minimum cost.’” The reason is simple. Kelly- Springfield Tires cost more. They are hand-made—to be sure that mileage is built into them. They are excess-mileage tires. So they are found on new \cars of the better class only, as special or optional equip- ment when the car buyer |knows tire values and appre- |ciates that the car manufac- jturer has paid the price necessary to provide the best service to be had. Kelly-Springfield Tires cannot be made to meet the price allowed for tire equipment on lower priced cars, when buyers expect only guar- anteed mileage, so they are not found on cars until the car buyer has learned to ignore initial cost and guarantees and consider cost per mile. Because the public expects a guarantee, Kelly-Springfield Tires are guaranteed for 5,000, 6,000 and 7,500 miles, according to type. But they yield 8,000, 10,000 and often greater mileage. Cases where ad- justments are necessary are rare. Few who have once used Kelly- Springfield Tires ever change to other tires, except when they buy new cars equipped with other tires chosen by the manufacturer. Kelly-Springfield Tire Co.
