FURTHER TRIALS FOR HONGKONG EVACUEES

By AIR MAIL

MELBOURNE, Aug, 15.-Two months of trials and tribulations ended yesterday evening for 301 women and children, who arrived at Melbourne from Hongkong.

Considerable confusion was caused at the wharf by the late arrival of the ship, and members of the R.A.C.V. who offered to drive the evacuees to guest houses and hotels had to wait practically all day at the pier.

It was found that these people had an excess of acid waste products in their blood during sleep.

This acid waste kept’the brain and nerves 'on edge' sil night even though the rest of the body was sound asleep.

But when Horlicks was given to these people last thing at night, thin excesa" neid waste was completely neutralised. They woke refreshed, with increased energy and vitálity.

NOT TO SKID

THE famous tread-design of

Goodyear tyres is much more than a neat,, handsome arrange- ment of sharp diamond blocks of stubborn rubber.

It's the safest tread-design in all the world!

That design didn't just happen. It's the result of hundreds of ex- periments and depends upon such things as the size and shape of the spaces, riding ribs, and dia- mond blocks in Goodyear's sure- gripping tread.

Safety, long-wear, and sure trac- tion are the first consideration of the scientists, and engineers who work in Goodyear's laboratories -the finest rubber development laboratories in the world.

Not until a new tyre satisfies all these requirements can it oară that little blue and yellow flag that you see on the sidewall of. every Goodyear tyre.

No matter which Goodyear tyre you select, you get the most for your money at the price you pay. Fit a full set of new Goodyears, now and join the happy millions who always choose Goodyear.
