 SELLING FORCE

One of the mOrt sought for passen- ger car and track markets m Califor- nia is the Japanese trade; and ac- cotdjnC to John Troy, pI csident of the Troy Motor Sales company. Nash dis tributors in Los Angeles. the success of this company in securing a goodly share of the Japanese business may be attributed to the principle of talking to the prospect in his own tongue.
 All of the Japanese sales are handled through MT George Kosgui, a native Jap. who has led the selling force in number of actual sales during the past few months. His field consists mostly of t.e truck gardeners about Los Angeles where most of the market gardening is conducted by Japanese farmers.
 The Oriental has been quick to grasp the economic need for trucks in speed ing mp deliveries and is rapidly dis carding the horse and wagon as un- progressive.
 Mir. kosgui does not specialize on any special unit but sells them all, passenger car and truck alike He has also solved the problem of getting in the money, in proof of which the i oy Motor Sales company has just sent a picture to the Nash Motors company at Kenosha.

D|DN' I CARE T0 RE-ENTER WORLD

There is an interesting story told in the Boston newspapers of a man who a few days ago was released from the penitentiary after serving thirty years. He asked to be taken to the navy yard, where several of the gov ernment superdreadnoughts were un- dergoing repairs. He sat in silence and remarked to the man who acom- panied him, that he did not feel that he was alive.
 There were no electric cars when this prison veteran was committed. There were no dreadnoughts in the navy. No airplane had ever crossed Boston Common. No subway was dreamed of. Fremont street was not then T thoroughfarc of skyscrapers There were only modest buildings in the historic old city then. Boston of today is the Boston of revolutionary days with modern trimmings. It was 2 new city to this old man who had slipped out of life thirty years before and had just come back lie could not rrnlize the magnitude of human prog ress.
 Outside of his prison walls the strenuous world had gone on it's noisy turbulent way, while this man lived his arrested being like an automaton his rising and resting his life and labor being regulated with machine like relentless routine. It is no wonder that he felt like a man of another world. He could not realize or ap-

AUTO REPLACES
 MARKE I BASKET
 SAYS THIS MAN

Among the many home efficiency and economy uses the automobile is being put to by wives of owners is that of facilitating the daily shopping trips," says George Reuben, president of the Kissel Auto company.
 "In this respect the automobile is literally taking the place of the old market basket.
 Tn supplying the culinary reouire- ments of the home the house wife of today drives down in her car to the grocery, meat market or bakery, and brings her purchases home with her, thereby not only saving time, but mak ing sure she is getting what she wants.
 "The quickness and ease of getting about has tendency to cause house wives to shop around more in search of lower prices and better goods in mark cts which were formerly beyond her walking distance. Scores of owners and their wives are even purchasing their vegetables and fruits from the farmer, driving directly to the garden or orchard
 Without a doubt the automobile is proving the most efficient means to help keep down the cost of living"

WHEELS LOOSE? HERE'S \ CURE
 THAT. T|CHTENs

The tig, tenng of loose wheels has usually been considered joo for the lacksnilh or some ether mechanic. But in recent yeais new method las acen evolvcd--quicller. easier and cheaper it is claimed.
 By this method anyone can tighten loose, shrunlen wheels. 1t requires squirting licuid compound known $ 'opoktite' llto the clachs caused by the shrinkage. This can be done without removing the wheels O.. any part of them
 It is said the liquid penetrates the wood and swells it to it's original con- dition, making all the parts it as tightly as when new. First, it keeps ... ,yIulls rom ming and loos- ming rain. Second, it prevents fur .her swelling in wet weather. Third, it costs only about p cents per wheel, since a dollar can will tighten four wheels. Fourth, it takes but an hour to tighten all four wheels.
 SpcttIte is made to be used on automobiles, carr iages and wagons not only as a wheel tightener but all so as a remedy for body squeaks.
 The dollar size can is known as the wheel size although it is capable of tightening four ordinary wheels. There arc three other sizes, which the man ufactuIels call shop" sizes, viz: Quart. half f-gallon and gallon. The last named size will tighten seventy wheels the other two a proportionate number.
 Spoktite is the product of the Liquid Wheel Tightener company Modesto Calif. The compound is dis 'tributed through jobbers from coast coast and sold to consumers

BURIED SHELLS
 HALT FLOWING

One of the interesting problems in- volved in the recultivation of the soil of France is that of the unexploded grenades and shells which now lie everywhere beneath the surface. A single hand grenade struck by a blow or harrow is sufficient to kill the horse and farmer as well as to destroy the machinery. One which exploded re- gently underneath a steam blow in the vicinity of Noyon completely destroyed the machine.
 Army officers who are studying the problem frankly confess their hope that American inventive genius will find some mechanical way of discov- ering these unexploded projectiles in the soil Otherwise thousands dnd thousands of acres of French soil will not be cultivatable
