No one Giant Tyro is suitable for all work. So Goodyear makes a spo- cific tyre for each type of truck or bus opera- tion. For instance, there is the YKL tyro, designed to conquer the intense heat developed in truck or bus servico, and the LUG type tyre for gruelling, off-the- road work in tread gouging rocks, or sticky mud. These are but two of many Goodyear spocial service tyros.

Duce's Naval Plans Are Not Going Well

-London Report

is authoritatively believed in London that shortage of material has already had effect on the Italian naval construction programme.

NAZIS MISSED THE BOAT

Gold worth £60,375,000 was sent from France to the United States during the week ended June 26, it was learned in Washington.

It was during that week that the United States cruiser Vincennes carried a quantity of gold from France to America.

Shanghai Police

There is reason to think that when the Italians decided to slow up work on their two new cruisers in favour of their small vessel (destroyers and sub. marines) programme the action was made necessary not by lack of skilled workers but because] of shortage of materials.

It was pointed out to-day that the Italian navy were far more anxious to go to war with Britain than either the army or the air force.. The army have been at war in Abyssinia, and the Italian Air Force have been in action both in Abyssinia and Spain. The Italian Navy, on the other hand, have had no
