Knox In Limeiight.
Thus on the same wings that
carry the complete tidings of John
sons victory are borne the reports
of Knox's keynote onslaught on the
Democratic administration. The
''masterful" performance of the
Pennsylvania Senator bursts upon
the country in time at least to di-
vide the honors with the Californian
conqueror. Republicans say Knox
now has made, himself the embodi-
ment Of the country's anti-treaty
sentiment minus the radicalism Of
johnson.
Whether johnson will swallow a
Knox nomination Is the question Of
the hour. The Old Guard claims
that johnson cannot possibly COM
mand a majority at Chicago. He
Is to be given, by orders Of the
Penrose Lodge watson -Brandagee
combination, every chance to win.
He is not to be steam-rollered.
But Old Guards men are serenely
be-that in a fair field and no ia
vor. he simply will be mown down.
He will lack the votes.
Binding guarantees are said to
be in existence that all johnson
wants is an untrammeled chance: !:
that, having had 1t and lost, he will
take his medicine and swing his
nondescript following, East and
West. into line for the regular Re-
publican nominee.
Yet, as could be heard in the SEN
ate cloakroom today. q candidate

scum with 10000 majority from

tions that once looked purely pla-
tonic. Johnson, Republicans said,

ANTI-AMER|CAN
SPIRIT IN JAPAN
TOXIC GOVERNMENT TOLD oc-
s cUPATioN OF ISLAND CANNOT
BE RECOGNIZED.
Empire Passing Through Another OF
Its Periodical Crises" In Her Re-
Iatlons With the United
States.

Tokio.-The Japanese government
has received communication from
the United States pointing out,
among other things, that Amer
lea is unable to recognize
Japan's occupation of the north
ern half of the island of Saghalien. The
Nichi Nichi says of the nature of the
protest, however, that the impression
exists here that the communication is
not really protest, but rather an ex-
position Of the American viewpoint on
occupation of Russian territory with
something of Americas attitude to-
wards the territory to be occupied.
1t is apparently felt here that any
publication of the details of the note
should emanate from Washington and
not Toxic. Meanwhile it is considered
likely that Japan, after mature DELHI
GRAFTON, will forward an answer to
Washington in an attempt to clarity
official opinion there and remove any
misunderstanding of Japan's position.
Appearances here indicate that ia
pan is passing through another "nerv-
GUS crisis" concerning her relations
with the United States. Numerous in
terpellations have been made in the
diet about the American attitude and
while the important newspapers are
counselling their readers to keep cool,
1t is apparent that certain amount
of apprehension exists concerning the
result of the congressional inquiry in
California. The Japanese, however,
seem convinced that it is being con-
Quoted with the utmost fairness, and
attention is being called to statements
that number of Americans have
come forward spontaneously to testify
In favor Of the Japanese.
Among the incidents which have
tended to fan anti-American feeling
was the publication here of the re-
ports that the burning of Japanese
stores in Marysville, Cal, was posi-
bly, the act Of anti-Japanese elements.
Articles also have been printed declar-
ing that Americans were engaged in
attempts to steal Japanese maps and
these have resulted in increased sur
veillance of American tourists.

MOTOR CARS REAL VALUE.
Based on Ablnty to Earn Money o,
Give Pleasure.

Regarding the much discussed
"saturation point in the automobile
industry, by which is meant the ar
rival Of a time when the demand Tor
motor vehicles must experience a a
ural falling off, an observant official
of one large company say that in the
majority of cases he notes reference
to the number of people in this Y
try and abroad who have incomes OF
SIS, 900 to $40, 1000, as being buying
prospects, and that the others are
labelled as hopeless.
GAS a basis for computing h au-
tomobile MARKET" he adds, tins is
absurd, The demand for automobiles
not result from the number of
people who have incomes above n
specified amount, any more thar the
demand for typewriters, steam en-
gines, telephones, or wheelbarrows.
All these things are bought because
they are needed, and where there
services will pay the purchaser a div
ident on his investment.
TT is not what a passenger car or
motor truck costs that counts. 1t Is
what it will earn-whether it be
one convenience or, merely pleas
ure. And the last W. have a cash
value lust as much as money itself.
That's what determines the purchase
Of an automobile. If an automobile
costs 81, 500, and brings better results
than something else that costs S2,-
500. then the automobile is bought.
$50, the saturation point depends
for its market not or the earnings OF
the masses, but on the earnings OF
the automobile itself"

o TO USE CHAINS.

How do you apply your tire chainss
This question is perhaps more i'm
portant this winter than ever before
in history, because of the u%npreced-
ented number of motorists utilizing
their cars during the cold months and
because of the severity Of the wealth
er, says the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
company.
Dumping along in ice and dirt ruts
and pounding against the pavement
with chain equipped tires is a neces-
sity from a safety and traction stand
point, but you can quickly ruin a
good set ofs tires by improper appli-
cation of chains. Thousands of tires
will be unduly punished this winter
because of carelessness. 4
Chains should be left loose enough
so that every time the wheel turns
the cross chains will not strike the
same spot in the tire. The rigid. tight
adjustment tears chunks on rubber
from the tire tread. The loose appli-
cation distributes the chains blows
over a section of the tire and does
not confine them to one spot
It is a question of wearing out
either your tires or the steel of your
chains. Loose chains wear out the
steel-tight chains destroy the tire.

INDUSTRY +,
HAD A RECORD
YEAR IN 1919
More Vehicles Made and {
Greater Value in Any
Twelve Months
BY. ALFRED REEVES,
General Manager, National Automo-
bile, Chamber of Commerce,


Notwithstanding the small produc-
ton during the first three months Of
1919. following the Armistice, when
the industry was on practically a 100
per cent war basis, motor car man
ufacturers made such gigantic strides
during the other nine months thai the
years production OF 1~,891,929 motor
vehicles exceeds all previous records,
including 1917 when 1,S68,O0O cars
and trucks were produced. The whole
sale value brought the industry al
most to the two billion dollar class.
It was only 20 years ago when au-
tomobaes were barred from Central
park-yet within these two decades
no year has gone by except the war
year of 1918, which has not seen an
increasing demand for these time
saving vehicles now such an import
ant part of our American life. hav-
ing advanced from the position of
toys for the rich to a position on a
par with the telephone, telegraph
and the railroads, in their work of
Passenger a production was
slightly less than in 1917, totaSing L.
536,7S7 as against LAO, 900 for 1917.
The truck production, however, in
creased substantially, rising from
227,o 900 in 1918 to more than $685.
600 in 1919.
The total whole sale value Of pes
senger cars was $1,39s,2S2,995, ar
average OF 1882 per car; while the
truck value was $~40s,311,585 an av-
erage of s1,338 per vehicle.
The total value OF these products
was $1,S07, 594,5S0. when when com.
bined with the wholesale value OF
bodies, spare tires and accessories to
equip the cars on trucks ready for
the owners use, brings the industry
close to the two billion dollar class
with a practical certainty that this
year its position will be second only
to steel among the manufacturing in
dustries of the country. &
The rapid advance of the truck
has resulted from it's meritorious per.
Torrance in the war, in general
commercial life, in the connection
with rural motor express lines and
in practically every other depart
