BODY BUILDERS
IN BIG MERGER
Martin and Parry Concerns Consoli-
date to Standardize Product.

The first move in an elaborate
plan of big business interests to Sc =
cure control of the body industry
and standardize the building of
commercial bodies in order to keep
production abreast with the grow
ing demand has taken the form of
merger of the two largest body
factories in the country-The Mar
tin Truck and Body Corporation.
York. Pa, and the Parry Manufac-
turing Company. OF Indianapolis.
The Parry Company is the largest
builder of commercial bodies in
America and has been looked upon
by the trade as the most formida BILE
competitor of the Martin organiza-
ton
The Martin Truck and Body
Corporation is probably the Oldest
and strongest concern in the body
industry, having gained its prestige
in the days OF horse-drawn vehicles
and clinched that prestige by adapt
ing its plant early in the game TO
the building of commercial motor
car bodies.
The new organization will be
known as the Martin-Parry Corpo-
ration. 1t will be headed by F. NJ.
Small. former president of the Mar
tin Company, who Is given credit for
having originated the plan to stand
ardize commercial bodies and also
the method by which they are pro-
gressively assembled. Mr.. Small is
a man OF broad vision. a progressive
type and a believer in advertising.
The deal by which the Parry Com
psny was taken over by the Mar
tin organization was consummated
at a meeting of the directors of both
companies held in New York City.

ABSTRACT TO STOP THEFT.

A real solution of the motor car
theft problem and a reduction on
theft insurance rates of at least
so per cent is the promise of the
Automobile Abstract and Title Com
pany, a million dollar Detroit and
Chicago corporation which proposes
to issue abstracts of title for auto
mobiles.
No more feasible plan has been
advanced for the complete and ab-
solute elimination OF the automobile
thief. 1t will be quite as impossi-
Bile to steal and sell a motor car so
protected as it would be in the case
of real estate. In fact the auto-
mobile abstract finds an exact paral-
lei in the abstract issued for real
estate - to prove ownership and
guarantee title.
From the motorists point of view
the immediate and most important
results will be a material reduc-
ton in theft rates which, in many
parts of the country are now pro-
hibitive.
In addition, the abstract will
serve a number of other worthy
purposes such as providing infornia-
tion of mortgages. liens. and similar
legal claims which may exist against
n car.
The automobile abstract is the big
gest thought in motor car protec-
tion since the advent of the auto
mobile itself. 1t is the only logical,
business-like manner in which five
billions five hundred and fifty mil
lions Of motor car wealth can be
adequately protected.

The Largest Rubber
Plantations in the World

"The largest rubber plantations In
the world are now owned by the
United States Rubber Company and
are producing millions of pounds of
rubber annually from the estates
which had never nourished. a rubber
tree before ls1o." says walter B. Ma
hony. writing in Commerce and FL
nance.
Nearly 100000 acres were acquired
on the east coast Of sumatra but q
degree or two north Of the equation,
through the purchase from ! Dutch
company OF lands formerly devoted
to growing tobacco. More than ib,0OO
laborers-largely recruited from the
40, 100000 Inhabitants Of the adjoining
Island OF Java-are employed in the
care Of 5.000,00O rubber trees. Over
sight largely rests in the staff OF
Dutchmen, assisted by a force OF
American technical experts.
"One Of the most impressive sights
to be seen anywhere is the view from
a slight eminence over a sea OF rub
Der trees. stretching for miles in
every direction. the metalled roads
over which American motor cars
travel at better than forty miles an
hour, the attractive bungalows OF the
estate managers, the sixty-five miles
Of narrow gauge railroad. the ex-
tensive telephone lines. the model hos
pital OF the East, the well-built coolie
lines, the factory and storehouses-
all the property of an American cor
poration and the result Of Amer lean
foresight and on a truly mammoth
American scale"

finally pierced their last entrench-

attack seemed too costly. But busi-

This Is the first time a stock

the exception of one trip by a high

Our gasoline and oil consumption
was very low and the power trac-

Prepares to Market New
Light and Power Plant
WHY'S Light to Be Manufactured in
Electric Auto-Lite's Plant.

A modern electric lighting and pow
er plant for farms, rural schools. and
churches, suburban homes. yachts.
etc. Is to be manufactured by one
OF the John n. WHY'S companies, The
Electric Auto-Lite Corporation of To-
ledo. Ohio.
The new system will be known as
Willys Light. 1t will be marketed
by the Willys Light Division of
The Electric Auto-Light Corporation
through distributors and dealers. The
formation of the sales organization
is now under way. 1t will extend
throughout the United States and
eventually throughout the world.
The new system Is said to be the
most complete that has yet been
placed on the market. 1t IL opera ted
by a willys-Knight sleeve-valve mo-
tor. a motor known for its simplicity
OF operation and its quietness. The
engine has been developed to such
an extent that it requires practically
no attention and is so simple that
child can operate It. according to
those who have observed It.
The complete plant consists OF a
willys-Knight engine. a directly con-
nected generator, a simple control
box and a storage battery. The
Knight engine burns kerosene at ap-
proximately one-half the cost OF gas

Trucking Associations
Develop Transportation

That transportation by truck has
come to take its place along side OF
transportation by railroad Is indicated
by the organization Of truck trans
portatSsn associations in several of
the larger cities. says Haul-Age, the
new dealer publication of the Gar
ford Motor Truck Company.
These associations have been found
ed by carriage and storage concerns
who utilize the motor truck in their
daily business
The purpose OF the associations is
to promote and further in an or
ganized. systematic manner, trans
portation by truck. Among their
chief and initial objects is the estab-
lishment Of inter-city truck systems

STATES TO HAVE.
HIGHWAYS SOON
Vast System Of Highway
Transportation In the
Making.
By WINDSOR T. WHITE.

Every State in the Union. with the
possible exception Of three. have. or
are going to. authorize bond issues
for the building of good roads. How
ever the mistake Of building them OF
too light q construction should be
carefully avoided. They should not
be built as roads were built twenty
years ago. before the advent Of the
motor truck. when horse-drawu wag-
ons were the sole users of the high
ways.
We are not building our highways
10 look at, nor are we building them
for. horses and wagons; We are build
ing them for highway motor trans
portation, for great lines of motor
trucks. which are going to use them
for Transporting our commercials
feeders for the railroad, the long
haulage units. and for bringing food
in from the farms.
Twenty years ago We did not need
highways as We do today. for the
demand was for ordinary dirt. or. at
the very best. lightly constructed
maeadam. because they were called
upon to carry one or two horses and
q nght vehicle. Today. however. a
heavy hard top is required. and the
hiSh cost OF il Is only economy in
dollars when commerce instead OF
pleasure uses them.
Think what II Is going to do for
you personally in the way of lower
COSTS oaee highway transportation
gets its proper pace-it means that
you are going to get more for your
money. and will tell you why.
Transportation in the past has been
by our inland waterways and our
railroads. Each had its capacity for
getting into certain places. But they
have not been adequate to our grow
ing demands-the demands Of 100. .ooo,-
900 people.
The big demand today Is food and
we are not getting enough Of II and
so OF course We are paying a heavy
penalty because the railroad and the
waterways do not reach the farms.
Now, with the coming of the rural
motor express, We are going to reach
out into every hill and valley ana
provide the farmer with quick and
ef1cient economical transportation by
motor truck, so that he will be en-
couraged to raise larger crops and
send them to you. This will mean
that you will get more food for less
money. the farmer will get a greater
return because of the larger con-
sumption and your city and State will
benefit generally
The coming of hard topped high
ways and motor transportation will
usher in a new era OF advancement,
will open up new sources of produc-
tion and throw our lines OF CONNER
cial influence around the world.

LEAGUE: OPPONENTS
IN MEMORIAL SPEECH

Facing thousands of white crosses
marking the graves of American SOL
der dead in the beautiful little GEM
etery of Suresnes overlooking Paris,
President Wilson on Memorial day
flung a challenge to the opponents
of the League of Nations in the
course Of his memorial address.
You are aware that the stand
ards of the old order are attempt
ing to reassert themselves" the
president said.
Declaring that these standards are
the roots of war. he added: "Any
man who so counsels is an advocate
of a renewal of war, for If this is
not the final fight there will be an
other which will be final"
The League of Nations. the prest-
dent said. is a covenant to. insure
that the men who gave their lives
in battle did not die in vain.

men gave theirs for the freedom Of

The ceremonies were attended By
Marshal Foch. Andre Tardieu. Lord
Derby and other dignitaries. Wreaths
were laid on American graves by
French and Americans alike.
The president praised the women
for the beautifully kept graves.
THE dead have done their utmost
to show they died in a great cause,
he said. "They left it to US to see
that this cause was never betrayed,
whether in war or peace"

It's hard when young American

officer is sent from one prison bar

young girl, also jumping from the
