The grave of Confucius, with
those of his descendants of "A genera
lions, which is now within easy reach
Of the Tientsin-Pukow railway, is one
of the most picturesque spots in China.
The family cemetery is surrounded by
a wall eight to ten miles in circumfer-
ence. The interior is n vast grove,
trees having been planted there since
the burial of Confucius 25 centuries
ago. Within a mile from the entrance
to the Confucian cemetery is the Con-
fucian temple, a set of beautiful Chi
nese temple buildings. with yellow
glazed tiled roofs amidst a grove Of
ancient cedars. Here is also the an
cestral hall C the descendants of Con-
fucius. In close proximity to the Con-
fucian temple is the home of the only
surviving descendant of Confucius.

Recent news dispatches indicate that the hope
expressed not long ago, that 3. A. Everett would
be reappointed as a member of the new state
board of control, will be confirmed. Mr.. Everett
and the editor Of the Review hold differents. views
at times, but nevertheless, we can always give
credit where it is due, and III this case We not only
congratulate him on being chosen on the new
board, but the state also may feel thankful that
an able and energetic man will continue to serve
in a position of much importance not only from a
business standpoint, but from the even greater
responsibility regarding the care and treatment Of
the states human charges and unfortunates, as
we'll.

FRIDAY, July II, 1919

Public sentiment seems to be in favor of the
governors desire to submit the soldiers bonus bill
to a vote Of the people rather than the legislature
which may be actuated by motives more political
than patriotic. If the taxpayers want it they
will ratify, and if not, why the majority will have
ruled which is one one of the fundamental prlncl-
pies of Americanism. We believe the common
non-ofice holding voter to be about as competent
at deciding big issues of the day, as statesmen of
the type quoted in another article, from the Min
neapolis Tribune, and referring to one of Wiscon-
sins ornaments in the state senate.

verted to other channels out Of the
busy season.
The motor bus Is also a big fac
tor in solving the industrial labor
problem. Factory sites within city
limits where labor is available. are
scarce. The use of busses to carry
employees to outlying sections where
sites are obtainable Is gradually
being recognized as the logical So
luton of the problem.
A short time ago a party of la
dies left Easton. Pa. in a pneu-
matte tired motor bus to attend a
matinee theater performance in
New York City. a distance of sew
enty-three miles by train. They
left in the morning. arrived in
plenty of time for the matinee and
returned to their homes in the bus
that same evening. Such illustra-
tions of the potentialities of the
motor bus make II easy to conceive
the time when commuters will trav-
ell to business In busses more quick
ly and comfortably than by means
of suburban trains. Metal laid
roads designed for one-way motor
traffic with no speed limit are in
evitable.
All through the development OF
passenger transportation in every
section, from the large city to the
rural community, the motor bus
will be felt more and more as the
years go by.

Taking Down the Engine.

In disassembling the engine the car
owner will find that he saves a great
deal Of time II he segregates the
parts as he performs the operation
OF taking down. The best way to do
this is to place all parts pertaining
to one unit or system in a box. For
instance have a box each for car
bureter. magnetic, valve system. &c.
while big units such as manifoIds.
connecting rods, &C.. may be placed
under the work bench in a large box
The value Of this arrangement ap-
pears when the task OF assembling

spoiled by leaving the body finish

winter. At this time of year II Is
a good plan to give the car a thor

Vice President international Motor
In a consideration of the reasons
for the growing acceptance Of the mo-
tor bus as an economic necessity in
passenger transportation. It Is wen to
first examine the ultimate effect OF
Increases in population upon traffic
facilities. While the necessity for i'm
mediate action, - solve serious con-
gestion problems is now being felt only
by the larger cities. the requirements
OF smaller cities and their future de-
Nelopment deserve just as much con-
sideration to prevent this congestion
in years to come.
Trafic facilities may be divided into
two classes. public utility Ntransporta-
ton lines, and highways to accommo-
date privately-owned vehicles
Traction Lines Inadequate.
= 1t is evident that the traction lines
Rre becoming more and more made
4uate to handle the congestion that Is
Increasing every day. Since the
amount of traffic they will hold is
limited by the tracks on which they
run. 1t will be impossible for them
70 keep up with the growing needs oi

1he increasing congestion OF private,
t1y-owned vehicles on the highways
= Increasing population on the. one
Hand demands more public transpor.
nation facilities. The increasing mum.
Der of priyately-owned passenger anC
i;1ommercial vehicles on the other
hand demands better highway facili'
nes. Can one factor be satisfied ex-

) lin the majority of large cities it /:
out of the question to lay more track:
<pr surface car lines in thickly popu'
nted business and residential sections
There is no room for them. In view
-cf this fact it is only logical to as
s,Ine that motor busses will be used
10 relieve the congestion. as they arr
Zee to operate on any route without
racks
SAnd it is very possible that the time
Will come when traffic will have in

Hreets will seem unable to hold it.
h this event the only solution would
Be the discontinuance of surface cal
Enes and the substitution of motol
t,lsses.
This for the simple reason thai
snsses do not block the highways
being flexible and able to move abou
in traffic. Surface cars. on the othsl
hand, do block traffic-this fact can
not be denied.
SAs- far as less thickly populated
sections are concerned, there is even
season to believe that future develop

MANY TO VIEW
MOTOR EXHIBIT
Figures Show Farmers Are
Greatest Users Of Trucks
In United States.

While thousands Of merchants.
manufacturers, dealers and others
interested In motor transportation are
coming to New York from all parts
Of the country for the National Motor
Truck Show. to be held in the Eighth
Coast Artillery Armory. January 3-io.
the interest already displayed by
farmers in the show indicates that
a very large portion OF the visitors
will come from the rural districtsJ
They are coming not only TO see the
several hundred trucks TO be exhib-
tied by leading manufacturer. but
also to attend the big transportation
conference, which will be a feature
Of the show.
Farmers are the greatest truck
users In America, and II Is but nat
ural that they should be interested
in this monster truck exposition and
conference. Last year more than
5000 trucks were used In hauling
farm products. In the past farmers
were discouraged from producing
anything that they could not sell In
large quantities and from attempting
to market the surplus of pcrishabie
Products they may have had above
their own needs because they lacked
means OF transportation Today all
this is changed through the use Of
the motor truck.
Handy for Farmers.
Motor transportation has furnished
reliable and adequate means for the
production of large quantities Of
products at a small cost of shipping.
The motor truck furnishes rapid
transportation for the farmer and
brings products to market In condi-
ton which commands the highest
prices. 1t saves time and labor of
men and II permits profitable expan-
sion Of side lines. furnishing wider
marketing area. Not only in the de-
livery of garden products. but also
in the matter OF delivery of dairy
products and live stock has the
