Saltzman, 21 years old, Central High School graduate and “distinguished cadet” at West Point, son of Maj. Gen. Charles McK. Saltz- man, chief of the Army Signal Corps, has been awarded the first Rhodes scholarship ever to come to Washing- ton and one of the first three to be captured by a student at the United States Military Academy. Young Saltzman, whose parents tnake thair home here at 2400 Six- teenth street, was one of 31 students O this country, who, in competitive exammation, earned the right to study at Oxford University. Two other cadets at West Point received &Imilar appointments, Saltzman has distinguished himself ®s a scholar in every school he tended. He stood high in his class at Central when he was graduated in 1919, and was an honor student the one year he attended Cornell Uni- versity. Entering West Point, he led Bis class during his plebe year, and the next two years was declared a “distinguished cadet.” This year, his last at West Point, he was not only elected president of his class, but also cadet commandant of the cadet corps, the highest office a student officer can attain at the Mili- tary Academy. He was manager of the Army foot ball team this vear, which defeated the Navy in Baltimore two weeks ago. It was necessary for Mr. Saltzman o take his examinations in Baltimore when he applied for the Rhodes schol- arship, as there was no machinery here with which to confer the honor. Twenty-one other young men from this section took the test with the young @adet. He was selected not alone for his scholastic ability, but also for the tmpression be made upon the exami- mers.

Although the question has been Paised whether or not Saltzman can #pend so long a time at Oxford, it has been pointed out that he can possibly be detailed to the university by the He js supposed to enter Oxford his commi. s a second lieutena in the United Stat Army. Such a course would save him the necessity ©of resigning his commission.

By the Associated Press. i NEW YORK, December 16.—John F.

All car owners may now have Latex-treated Web-Cord Tires OT excepting the advent of Balloon Tires, the most outstanding development in tire construction in recent years has been the use of Latex and the devel- opment of the Latex-process of building cord tires. This process, developed, pat- ented and owned bythe makers of Royal Cords, is used to pro- duce Latex-treated Web-Cord. Web-Cord is very strong and very flexible. Each individual cord is satu- rated, surrounded and bound to its neighbor by Latex. This does away with cross-tie threads and gives a smoother, stronger, more flexible fabricand one that has greater power to resist in« ternal friction. One of the reasons why U. S. Royal Cord Balloon Tires give such outstanding performance is because they are built. of this strong flexible material. But we have not confined its advantages to Balloon Tires. U.S. Royal Cords, U.S. Royal Cord Balloon Tires, U.S. Royal Cord Balloon-Type Tires, are all buil: of Latex-treated Web-Cord. Whatever type of tire your requirements call for, you can secure the advantages of Web- Cord construction by buying U.S. Royal Cords. United States Rubber Company .
