Establishment of a new world's record in antiaircraft gunnery bjr the U.S.S. West Virginia was revealed yesterday, when It was learned that the new starboard five-inch antiaircraft battery of the auperdreadnaught made nine direct hits on a target sleeve in a single salvo.

If Proposition No. 10. the $1,900,000 bridge bond issue, is adopted. These are the facts given in a jurvey.

There is an old wooden bridge over the Hollenbeck Park Lake, which was constructed In 1898. The bridge must be repaired every so often by the engineering department. Every time the bridge is repaired, all the water, worth $1000. must be drained from the lake. The question then arises, who should pay for the water? The park department, the water department or the engineering department? Up to the present, the three departments have been taking turns paying the cost.

'However, if the bridge bond is- cam "nil miDDer iase 13 Plates entail Willard Battery Stations i sue Is passed, a new concrete bridge, to cost $102,000, will be built, no more water will be wasted and thfe war will be over.

So we make this statement: there is more mileage in Goodrich Sil-vertown Cords this year than in any tires this company has ever built. To have surpassed all previous standards of excellence is an accomplishment.

For Silvertowns have always been the sum total of tire excellence. This accomplishment is one of patience and careful attention to small things small things which make a tremendous total It ia based, not on the introduction of any revolutionary new principle, but upon consistent improvement in the tire which has already proved itself "best in the long run." With full realization that the word involves comparison, we pronounce the present Goodrich Silvertowns the finest tires ever made by Goodrich; finest in design and construction. This statement is made with the knowledge that our files in Akron contain many letters from past users motorists who have secured miles from individual tires and sets of tires in previous years. To you who are now considering the purchase of tires, we urge that you consult the Goodrich dealer and let him apply the Silver-towns best designed for your personal motoring requirements. THE B.
