Beaverbrook Libelled

Adviser To China Bound Over In England

London, Dec. 8.

At the Hampshire Assizes, Earnest Frank Jones, described as a monetary scientist, who was former Adviser to the Salt Revenue Administration of the Central Chinese Government, and claimed that he had been apppointed economic adviser to the Chinese Gov- ernment, was bound over for five years on three charges of publishing defamatory libel on Lord Beaver- brook,

The prosecution stated that the libels, which were sent on postcards through the post, were 30 utterly ridiculous that it was not suggested they did any particular harm,

It stated that Jones was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in the last war, and the Judge in binding bim over, said that he had remem- bered the services the accused bad rendered to his country in the past.

He added, "I am disposed to think that study of financial problems has bemused your mind"-Reuter.

HE TEACHES TYRES

NOT TO SKID

THE famous tread-design of

Ecodyear tyres is much more than-a-neat, handsome-arrange-- mont 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- mont 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 earn 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 Goodyears.

GOODYEAR CENTER TRACTION TREAD-provides

sure-footed traction, maximum protection against skids in all directions.

THICK, BROAD, TOUGH TREAD—gives long smooth rolling, trouble-fras mileage. EXCLUSIVE SUPERTWIST CORD~~~puts protection against bursts and bruises into avery ply.
