SECOND SECTION VOL. XXVI—NO. 209 FORECASTS JUMP IN TIRE PRICES Claiming to have information never before published, a prominent Anaheim tire dealer declared today that within six months at the outside even the large tire manufacturers would be compelled to pay 60 cents in New York for rubber. The result will of course be an unprecedented boost in prices of tires, casings and repair materials. Recently crude rubber declined 3 1-2 cents to 38 1-2 cents per pound. This decline, however, was only temporary, says the local man, and due to the fact that holders of large stocks unloaded when it appeared that a group of important financial interests back of the manufacturers of rubber goods would succeed in practically cornering the rubber market. That attempt failed, although rubber has remained around 38 1-2 cents. America already uses 70 per cent of the British supply, and the plan was to corner the full 100 per cent and then sell back 30 per cent at higher figures. Six months' supply is the largest that any member of the Big Five possesses, while more failures are taking place in the case of smaller concerns which did not protect themselves. For example, an apparently authentic report this week said that well known Oakland tire concern had been taken over by the Good-year Co. of Calif., because of the former's exhausted inventories of crude oil. Ordering $20,000,000 Worth of Goods Have you ever stop to think how little "old stock" there can ever be in a J. C. Penney Company Store? As you know from published details, we did $49,-035,729.06 business last year. Our stock came and went on an average of 4 times in all our Stores. It did not stay with us long enough to "grow old." From April 6th to May 15th, the Managers of our 371 Department Stores, at different periods, will be away placing orders for goods for the Fall season and the holidays. Combined, their orders will total more than $20,-000,000. Such requirement for merchandise is bound to receive manufacturers' lowest prices. You benefit extensively. 38 1-2 cents.

For example, an apparently authentic report this week said that well known Oakland tire concern had been taken over by the Good-year Co. of Calif., because of the former's exhausted inventories of crude rubber. The failure of six other companies including one of the largest of the concerns outside the Big Five is well-known. The British interests have fixed prices at 42 cents in London, which means 60 cents in New York, says the Anahelmer. No crude rubber to speak of has been imported for three months. When imports on a scale are resumed, Americans will pay the equivalent of 60 cents per pound in New York. Last October the price in New York was 14 cents. Since then, with few lapses, the price has been steadily going up. $819,000 CUT FROM TEACHERS’ SALARIES (By International News Service) SACRAMENTO, April 19.—When consideration of Governor Richardson’s budget was resumed in the assembly today amendments providing a total increase of $819,000 for salaries and support of the several state teachers’ colleges were offered by various members. The first amendment taken up was that offered by Assemblyman Harry Morrison of San Francisco asking an increase of $63,000 for salaries for the teaching staff of the San Francisco teachers’ college. The amendment increasing salaries of the staff debated until the noon recess without a roll call being taken. Mrs. Anna Saylor, whose amendment increasing th salaris of th staff of th school for the deaf and blind at Berkeley was adopted at the night session last night after a hot conflict, today withdrew another of her amendments asking $450,000 for new buildings for the Berkeley school. It was understood that she would later offer an amendment asking $180,000 for the same purpose. FIVE PERISH IN LYNN, MASS.

FIRE (By International News Service) LYNN, Mass., April 19.—Five persons perished and a sixth is missing in a fire which early today destroyed the Essex Castle, a five-story brick apartment building. The victims were trapped with no chance of escape. There were no fire escapes. Many of the rescued and several of the rescuers were severely injured. So frantic were the tenants that some of them leaped from the upper story windows without waiting for the firemen to spread life nets. Some who did wait leaped and missed the nets. The fire was the worst in the history of the city. Many spectators fainted when women and children clinging to window sills were forced by the flames to release their grip. The dead: Harry Fairchield, Mary Nutter, Antoinette Hanlon, Frank Tozler and George Philpot. SEEK GIRL'S BODY (By International News Service) HAMMONTOWN, N. J., April 19.—As the result of a letter signed "A member of the K. K.
