WE ARE A RACE OF MECHANICS
The Motor Car is Responsible, Perry
 BaIsam Says

Two million motor cars have been registered in our forty eight states and from now on until January l thousands of cars a day will follow into the total. We already lead the world in motor cars by a tremendous margin, and yet the manufacturers
 tell us that we have just begun to strike our gait as buyers.
 The output of motor vehicles, ex- elusive of trucks and motor cycles, is rapidly approaching a million a year. There are enough cars in New York to carry the entire popula- ton of the metropolis across New Jersey into Philadelphia in two trips and if the job were efficiently hand led the entire greater city of New York could be emptied within twen- ty-four hours.
 Our motor car manufacturers are turning out immense consignments of war stuff for Europe. as well as stag gering totals of pleasure cars, trucks, jitneys and so on for the states. They are also training and develop ing a vast army of skilled and un- skilled mechanics. Furthermore, they are doing the major share to transform considerable fraction of the pOpulace or the united States into amateur mechanics. for every man who buys a ear and cannot af- ford a chauffeur is bound to take some interest in what makes the wheels go round and how to get 'em going when they stop. There are several million of us now who can tell a spark plug from a floating rear axle
 They tell us that the German em- pire has been mechanized by the kaiser but the motor car has come the American people, if by a differ ent method. There are at least a million families in which father and the boys-and some of the girls, too love to tackle messy job of tink- ering the car through a bad case of heaves and knocks.
 Our farming population, which us ually furnishes the greater percent age of recruits in case of war, has advanced in it's knowledge of me chanics immeasurably within the last decade. Our farmers use vastly moro farm machinery than any other na- tiOn, and now that the motor car has been brought down to q farm utility basis they are going in for the purchase of cars with an avidity that chortle with glee. Practically 60 per cent of the ears coming into the market now are being sold outside of the cities-PerrY Balsam in the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.

VEGET TARTAN DR. WU
 EXPECTS ID LIVE LONG
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcHI

PEKIN, Aug. 2S.-Dr. Wu Ting fang, well known in America as the
 former Chinese minister to Wash ington, has just celebrated his sev- entyfourth birthday and boasts that vegetarian diet keeps him in such splendid condition that he expects to live 150 to 200 years. Dr. Wu lives in Shanghai, where his son, Wu Gnu, who is an adviser to President Yuan Shi-kai, visited him according to old Chinese custom on the occasion of his birthday.
 The younger Wu, who speaks English with a British accent hay ing been educated in England, is a prominent man in the palace of President Yuan. Being q barrister- at law, he was a member of the famous constitution drafting com mittee which offended Yuan Shi-kai by refusing to hear his opinions on what the constitution of the Chinese Republic should be. It will be rem embered that Yuan Shi-kai then found reasons for dissolving the re- publican parliament. Many of tEe members found it expedIent to es- cape from Peking, but young Wu, like number of other prominent men, decided to make peace with Yuan Shi-kai and work with him for the unification and development of the country.

Exchange growers ] and others independent from the ex- change Vill be welcomed alike.
 The prospects for the Tempe ! sroWers book bright this year. Some ! thing over a thousand acres is signed | under the exchange head. and the | good crops that are showing up | coupled with the high price antici- ! patrd. promises the cotton men some | thing in return for their months of i , ndeaVor.
