1,200 MILES FOR A DRINK,

**The Cocktail route to Cuba" is in elect the description.which is.com- ing to be applied to the journey to that island from the United States by thirsty business men and others with

■ few days to spare' from the.daily - round and common task. Cuba of -course is wet.

The Smic Department is the author- ity for the announcement that 86,0007| Americans have applied for passports to enable them to spend the whole or part of the winter season in Cuba, For their diversion the islanders, who are aware of the fact that the holiday "muters willingness to spend is in exact proportion to the facilities avai able for the consumption of stimulat ing potions. are devising all kinds of Attractions for the 86,000 and the many thousands more whom they hope the "dampness" of the climate will attract. Hoise-racing will be one of the features of this winter's attraç- tions, and efforts are being made to

·legalize roulette and other games .of chance, so that it may be possible to -establish a full-blown casino.

Of course, the "drys will attempt Eo block the Southern way out for the unhappy "wers" and 'alceady appeals are being made to the inter-Church world movement and other bodies to ake action. Bur Cuba is only three days from New York City, and its Iure will be irresistible.

N.Y.K. INSURANCE

PROJECT.

enormous

It will be remembered that a report was made last year concerning the Nippon Yusen Kaisha's project to establish a marine insurance company; of its own with a view to utilising the amount of idle reserve money the company has. it was ex- pected at the time that the return of Baron Kondo, abe President, from Paris, would give a decisive form to the scheme. The latest developments are, however, that there is a strong apposition among many of the share: Bolders on the ground that the scheme was promoted by only a part of them. and that it is not so feasible as the promoters hoped. It appears that the sumbitious shareholders who promoted | the project, expect to earn a large pro- Bt through the sale of the shares of

•he company, which, they hope will be distributed among them proportion- etely, and on which a high premium can be charged in view of the high reputation of the mother company, i.e. the N.Y.K. But they have a strong. element of opposition to tackle before they can realise their object.in view. As already said, many of the share- holders hold the view, that the scheme is not feasible and oppose what they regard as the wild cat speculations ofį. fellow shareholders. Such being the case, the prospects of this compars- tively long pending scheme tre re- garded pessimistically, It is at any rate. interesting to watch and see which of the two. contending parties will prevail after all.

CORD TIRES

UALITY in a tire is not appreciated until it aseerta itself through long

Qcontinued trouble-free performance.

The gauge to this service is the mileage total recorded when the casing finally is discarded.

The notable achievement of nine stook tires which, put to official finish test by the Automobile Club of America, averoged 5,760 miles, definitely established the un- usual quality of Vacuum Cup Tires.

The rainy day certified test of the Pitte- burgh Taxicab Company-in which a heavy car equipped with Vacuum Cup Tires was driven around a wet corner at- 25 miles an hour without skidding-

conclusively proved the guaranteed ability

of the Vacuum Cup 'tread to resist skid- ding on wet, slippery pavemente,

In addition to this proved driving safety and the mileage guarantee per warranty tag-of 6,000 miles, Vacuum Cup Tires are reasonably priced. They cost approxi- mately the same as ordinary 3,500 mile tires and much less than other makes carrying equal mileage surety.
