The 300 automobiles in use in
Japan may seem a very small number
for a country whose area is nearly
four-fifths that Of France and whose
Inhabitants pride themselves more and
more on competing with European ma
tions, and even SURPRISING them, in
the paths of industrial progress. There
are two reasons for this inferiofity;
in the first place, it is proper to note
that the price Of automobiles in Japan
is too high for the use of these We
hicles to spread rapidly; in the sec
ond place, the condition Of the roads
in most of the provinces leaves much
to be desired.
But although at present uncertain,
the future of the automobile industry
there is always susceptible of develop
ment if some day the Japanese de-
cite to initiate Europeans in their
mania for touring. so that it will be-

come easier to go on wheels through
all parts of the empire.
For the reasons just indicated the
low priced cars seem to be the most
sought Of whatever type In the first
rank among the producing countries
is the United States. Thus, Of 100
automobiles imported by Japan dur
ing the year 1911, 81 came from the
United States. Next came Germany
and England, the first with IA cars,
the second with -. The remaining
cars were furnished by France.
at is evident that our country,
where mechanical locomOtion has
reached a stage of development well
known to all, is not taking in this
economical competition place
worthy Of it. 1t is to be hoped that
our builders will seek to assure a
more considerable output OF their
products for this market"

PACKARD. TRUCKS
Make STEADY
PROGRESS

1bc motor truck question has b"CU
creating great deal of attention dur
lug the past year or so. The Pack
"rd Company, in order TO be better
able to take care of the tremendous
advances which are being made in
this line, organized what they called
The Packard Truck Stock Exchange"
Zach Packard dealer was allotted a
certain number of trucks to be sold
during the month of December. The
stock was all put on the market" at
fity-as each dealer sold a track his
stock was Increased accordingly, and
reached par" or 100 when the full
quota had been sold.
This contest created a great deal of
enthusiasm and as a result there were
PA Packard trucks, two, three and
five ton models, sold during the month
of December
When motor truck replaces three
or four two-horse teams, it becomes a
very important factor in the owners
traffic system. Proper business
caution, therefore, demands that the
most careful investigation should be
made to insure the selection of a We
f1icle that is equal to this RESPONSE
bility. The purchaser should observe
the performance of the truck he
thinks of buying under all conditions
OF service. He should avail himself
OF expert opinion regarding its me,
chanical construction. A weIl-thought.
out Judgment of its probable dura-
bility should be based on the Feputa-
ton and resources of the maker. In
other words, he should task the man
who owns one"
! The Packard Motor Car Company
urges this kind of an investigation.
IL is the condition most favorable TO
the sale Of Packard trucks. A large
proportion of the Packard trucks now
in use have been sold to buyers who
nave made-and are exceptionally
teets.-
To permit the purchaser to dis
cover for himself is the one sure way
to convince a man that the Packard
policy. right trucks, right selling.
actually exists.
Packard trucks arc built as well as
trucks can be built. They are recon.
mended only to those purchasers who
can use them profitably.
For plantation work the Packard
truck has proven beyond question
that ii is not only the saver of time,
but II also reduces the cost Of opera
ton and maintenance, and in these
days of practical economy, this is the
one great factor in any large corpora
ton. IT 3

the modern arrangement for motor

Texans Hunt Quail in Cadillac Car.
Quail hunting by motor car IS the
late st novelty for sportsmen, and,
judging from the enthusiastic reports
from Texas, this method of getting
full bag not only adds much to the
comfort and pleasure OF the sport, but
also has its practical values.
Recently Roy Munger, of Dallas,
Texas, accompanied by friends, made
hunting trip 30 West Texas, using
his Cadillac touring car not only to
get to the hunting grounds, but actu-
ally employing the car in the field
Mr.. Munger and his party made the
trip in his car overland to Big
Springs and drove thence about so
miles north.
"AutOmobile hunting is the great
est sport in the world" Mr. Munger
said on his return to Dallas. 1--WE
shot from the car nearly all the time
and the Cadillac took me nearly any
place | wanted to 60 In fact some
Of the places we pulled through would
have been impossible for a horse and

The Munger party bagged nearly
as much game as the law allows.
Blue quail were killed in large num-
bers and the duck hunting near Gail,
Texas, where the nights were spent,
was declared all hunter could wish
for.

Infusorial Earth Has Many Uses.

| The amount of infusorial or datoma-
ceous earth and tripoli produced in the
United States in 1912, according to the
United States geological survey, was
valued at 1925, 446- $22,0l6 less than
that of 1911.
Infusorial earth has been used large
ly as an abrasive in the form of pol
ishing powders, securing soaps, ETC., and
lately it has been found useful in the
manufacture of dynamite as an abb
sorber of nitroglycerine. 1t is also used
as a packing material for safes, steam
pipes, boilers and as freproof mate
rial. In this country new use for
the material is reported in the manu-
facture of records for talking machines.
In Europe, especially in Germany, in
fusorial earth has lately found extended
application. 1t has been used in pre-
pairing artificial fertilizers, especially in
the absorption of liquid manure, and in
the manufacture of water glass, cements,
glazing of tiles, artificial stone, paper,
sealing wax, fireworks, gutta pereha OBJ
jects, Swedish matches, etc.
Infusorial or diatmoaceous earth is
made up largely of Silica is variety of
opal, and represents the remains of GER
tain aquatic forms of plant life known
as diatoms
Tripoli is light, porous siliceous rock,
supposed to have resulted from the leach
ing of calcareous material from the sill
ceous limestones, and is used as an abra-
sive, in the manufacture of filters, and
in the paint industry as wood filler,
for enameling, etc.
