You'll find the same Gen- |
. eral iires that started in |
" sérvice this summer on the ,
same cars next summer,
rolling up records of almost
unbelievable mileage, com
fort and safety.
. ..Tires speak for themselves |
in summer and that is why |
General uses only the purest |
friction and tread rubber in ' ‘
generous quantities,
It’s the answer to General’s ; |
outstanding success in re- |
ducing internal frictionand |,
offsetting the ravaging ef- |
fects of increased road heat ||
and faster speeds in hot ||
weather, i
After aseason of long sum- |

' Brightest Comet Will Be
i Visible Chrisiinas Week
‘ CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 13-=-
(AP)—The brighest comet visible in
! the northern hemisphere in the past,
115 years will appear in the early
‘evening western sky during Christ-;
mas. week, Dr. Harlow Sharpley, di
recotor of the Harvard Observitory;
announced teday, Clearly, visible t-:)‘
the naked eye, the comet on Christ- |
mas Day will be about 45 degrees)
hetween the sun and the North Pole.
It is Skjellerup’s comet, discoveryl
of which at Melbourne, Australia)
by F. J. Skjellerup, an amateur as-'
tronomer who formerly lived ini
South Africa, was made known of
’Dec. 4. It then was reported oL"l
third magnitude, but the observaq
Hory at LaPlata, Argentine, two days"f
,lzuer, sent word of an observation
of what = was supposed to be the‘«j
same comet and described it as of
the second magnitude. |
| High Inclination
i Today Dr. Shapley received word
from the Astrcrnomical Clearingl
liouse at Copenhagen that H, E.'\l
f’Wood. a South African astronomer,l
‘had computed the comet’s orbit.
‘This indicates that the comet, now
in the econstellation Scorpio, and I
seuth cf the sun, is moving rapidlyj,
northward and will be in conjunc
.*ion with the sun on Dec. 15. It has
the very high ineclination of 72 de
’grees. i |
" At Berkeléy, Cal, Miss Prescott
and another astronomer have work
|od out further details of the comet’s .
brogress. After Dec. 18 it should
be easily visible , to the naked eye, |
just after sunset, in a position just
naorth of the sun. Its northward sned
iis three or four degrecs a day. 1

URGES EARLY SHIPPING
I =rAO T 3
CHRISTE A 5 PATKAGES
’ Because of tho foct that Christ
‘| mas Day falis on Suunday, the plea of
the _transpor{ tion ' companies for
the early’ shippiiz of Christmas
packages this vear have a real sig
nificance: It is desirable that ally
I deliverics Be completed by Christ
[ mas Nve, making early shipping:
lé'.'m more important than in other
years.. - ' . 1
I Thiz fact was ‘emphasized in aj
lsi,atoment made today by Bill Mur-l
i ray, agent of the American Railway
fExpx'ess Co., He sdid: l
l “We are planning to clean up our|
Christmas deliveries by Saturday’
gnight, as we know how keen is the
, disappointment of the senders of
gholiday packages, and the receivers
fas well, aspecially where there are,
‘childran, it that collection of giits
from felks out of town does not ar
.rivé on time. We intend to do our
part in making it a Mei'ry Chirist
mas!”
A few days before Christmas ac
cording ‘to Mr. Murray, the regular
commercial heoliday business is ovey
land Ul(la express employes are ali]
got and eager to handle the traffic
|of. a personal nature going to bpri 1
vate homes. In this work, they sec
the real spirit of Christmas reflect
ed, as most families have trees
lighted or are in the-proeess- of
trimming them. :
By proper packing and careful
{end accurate addressing of holiday
shipments, much delay in delivery
will be aveided. Mr. Murray points
out, that when a shipment is.start
ed right, its prompt handling and
delivery is practically assured. ’l‘he‘
need for giving the full street and:
number in address, p:_u“Licularly"
when shipments are going to con-'
signees in large cities, is an impom{
tant factor to consider in ‘“mark
ing” gift packages. ‘
Despite the appeal for early shipfl
ping, there are some people who, by"
Ihul)it or unforescen circumstances, |
i will. wait until the very last minute
’in getting off their gifts by express.
i Mhis year for the first time in
I the history of the service, a new |
!hi'.rh-speod method of transportation I
|is available, It is the Air Express
|Service, inaugurated last Septem
{ ber, providing movement by air
ipla}\.e on the transcontinental airi
ilings. Even though a city may not
;ho.van airport, it is still possible for
i('hifli‘stmus shippers to use that wser
{ vice: by utilizing express to reach the
inearest airport,
| On the other hand, shipments can
;bo sent by plans to the airport nearyq |
| est the destination point and con- i
Ԥnectiou made by -air cxpress. When
lan Air Express package arrives in
‘town, the consignee is advised by
v(.eleph(;no and it will be brought to ‘

GLOBE GIRDLERS
BROCK AND SCHLEE WELL
PLEASED WITH PERFORMANCE
| ——— i
| DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Dec. 12—
l, (AP)—Tirst fuel and load tests with
llho giant yellow Stingon-Detroiter
,monoplane, Pride of Detroit, were
made teday by Edward F. Schlee and
‘William 8. Brock and tonight they’
“announced they were highly gratiq
fied of the plane’s performance in
preparation for their attempt to
ec«tablish a new worid’s enduraunce
flight record.
While they declined to divulge
their findings atfer the test flightsy
they dectared the plane performed
better than they had hoped for.
"“hey expect to make the attempt for
a flight record during the coming ‘
week. e
The plane in nwhich the two fliors'i
recently flew from New York to Jay
pan in the record time of 19 days,
and then abandoning their effort to
girdle the world, was the first put
through a fuel test, staying al_oft.{
one hour and 15 minutes. Aflter
landing, the aviators calculated the '
fue! consumption and declared it
lower than they had estimated.
Not Tail ,Heavy :
Twelve hundred pounds of sand
in bags was . then loaded on the
plane and after taxing down the |
beach seven-eighths of a mile, iookl
the air and cruised over the bo;-(-hi
for 15 minutes. On landing, the avia- !
tors declared the plane at no time
seemed tail heavy with the load.
The present world’s record of 52 |
hours and 23 minutes now is held
by Cornelius Edzard and Johann
Risticz who wrested it from Clarence
Chamberlain and Bert Acosta.
Indications tonight were that the |
two fliers would start their on:lur—l
ance flight about 6 o'clock Wednes
day morning. They expect to re
main aloft 60 to 65 hours,
