RICKSHAW AN AMERICAN IDEA
Yankee Is Credited With First Concep-
ton of Vehicle Now So Popular
in the East.

Twenty years or so ago when rail
ways in Japan were yet few and motor
cars undreamed OF the common method
of travel for natives and foreigners
alike was the rickshaw.
Horses were scarce and of indiffer-
ent quality, the bicycle had hardly
made its appearance in the far east,
so practically the only means of get
ting about the country away from the
main line OF the railway between
Toxic and Hiogo was in the modified
perambulatOr which is known all over
the world as the rickshaw.
There are a number of versions Of
its invention and to whom credit
should be given for it. The Japanese
themselves claim it for a paralytic old
gentleman Of KyOtO, who some time
before 1868, finding his palanqin un-
comfortable took to a little cart in
stead. The usual foreign account
adopted by Mr.. Black, the author of
Young Japan" is that an American
named GOble, half cobbler and half
missionary. was the person to suggest
the idea OF a glorided go-cart some
where about 1867.
The first official application to be al
lowed to manufacture rickshaws was.
however, made in 1870. They were soon
being turned out in hundreds and thou
sands, for the middle class Japanese
found it a cheap and comfortable way
OF travelling long or short distances
and there vas an in~eXhaustible supply
or men eager to turn themselves into
beasts Of burden in order to earn the
high wages which the employment
brought them. C~uriously enough,
though elsewhere the thing is called a
r~ickshaw, in Japan it generally goes by
the name jinriki.
Both are authorizations of the real
word which is jin-riki-sha, meaning lit
orally man power vehicle" that is a
cart pulled by a man. Sometimes YOU
hear kuruma used as an equivalent.
II that is a ~Japaning of the Chinese
syllable sha. Kuruma-ya is a rickshaw
puller and you would call it out in
Japan when you wanted a rickshaw.
Just as we called hanson" In the DAYS
when the hanson had not been driven

1t is the we'll known Langenscheidt

that in order TO economic space the
work had to be printed in what is
known as the abbreviated type. which
in France is different from the system
followed in Germany, and called for an
intimate knowledge of both systems on
the part of the translator.

In 1904 Mr.. Foelker was elected 70
the New York state assembly. His
early training in the Young Mems
Christian association in the formation
of friendships, he says, gave him
treining for that first election.
Soon Mr.. Foelker became the most
bitterly hated mar in the entire state
of New YOrk-in certain quarters
and he was not better loved by the
race-track gamblers for risking his life
in casting the vote against them.

The Overland
The King Of Cars
No other car has so large a sale-none has
made such amazing records. Price, $1,000 up.

It requires four factories, employ.
Ing 1000 men-turning out 40 Over
lands daily-to meet the food-like
demand for these cars. Yet two years
ago a hundred rivals had a larger
sale.
The reason lies largely in the cars
utter simplicity. It's able designer
made it almost trouble-proof.
He created an engine which, for
endurance, is the marvel of engi-
neering.
He designed the pedal control. One
goes forward or backward, slow or
fast, by merely pushing pedals. The
hands have nothing to do but steer.
A child can master the car n ten
minutes. A novice can drive 1t a
thousand miles without any thought
Of trouble.
The Overland always keeps going,
and almost cares for itself. All the
usual complexities have been elimi-
mated.
That is why each a sells others.
and our orders for this years Over
lands amount to s24. 900. 900.
