RECENT FOREIGN
EXCHANGE DROP
1 NOTHING VITAL
:
Auto Industry Not to Be
/ Affected Even if the
Entire Export Is
! Cut OFF.

The recent. sharp decline in for.
eign exchange will not affect the
automobile industry, even if the ex-
port Of our cars to Europe is en-
iirely cut off," says John M. Rob-
bins, Maibooh'.Hi MiaiitboohHi distributor in the
Omaha territory.
THE decline, of course, affects
only the expectation of cars to the
European countries. The young
giant republics in South America
have their currency in an exception
ally healthy state and there is a
very lively demand there for our
pleasure cars. =
Recent statistics show that the
year 1919 saw 2,125,000 pleasure
cars produced in the United States.
OF this total only 10000 cars were
exported, and this was the greatest
export year known to the industry.
More than, 10000 cars, OF course,
could have been disposed of abroad,
but this was the limit that Amer
ican manufacturers could be induced
to allot to outside countries. The
market at home could not be neg
lected. 1t was America first.
"These 10000 cars which were ex-
ported could have been absorbed
with ridiculous case in the Amer
lean market, and it was only the de-
sire of the manufacturers to keep
alive their foreign connections that
resulteo in any cars at all going out
OF the country, Anyone who waited
six hong months for a car last year
can tell you how long those 10000
cars would have lasted.
"The greatest market for the
American motor car is in this, its
own country, where there is car
for every 20 persons. England is a
poor second with one motor for
every 268 inhabitants. and then fol-
low in order France, one for every
A02 people; Germany. one for every
684; Italy, one for every 1000: Aus
tria, one for every 2,700,, and boil
sl,evist Russia with one car for
every $500 persons. Only the for
tunately rich can buy cars in other
Eountries."'

Elevated Roadways
For Auto Trucks Is
Now the Prediction

That the time is coming when
Elevated roadways will be con-

Herman Vorsanger of Brooklyn,
manager of the Jacob Dold Packing
CO. Mr.. Vorsanger's firm recently
shipped 10000 pounds of pork from
Brooklyn to Boston by motor trick,
The truck left at 3 p. m. and reached
its destination at 7 p. m. The same

self as highly satisfied with Ship

Cold Winds Of Zero Days
Chill Even Speed Maniac

About 10 per cent of the auto
motive population of this demo-
cratic land is, as the saying is, nuts
about speed. Speed means more in
these lonely lives than comfort. And
yet. though We have spent many
hazardous hours in the cars Of these
vslocities, we have never met one
who loves his speed enough to push
the accclerator al, the way down
when the mercury was zero.

Goodyear Tire Company
Has Huge List Of Employees

According to government statis-
tics, the surplus OF f1abor throughout
the United States is steadily de-
.creasing. The condition of unem-
pioynent that followed in the wake
of the war has been remedied to a
large extent by the need for labor
in western cities. To give some idea
OF. the demand for labor in Akron,
O., the Goodyear Tire and Rubber
company now has the largest num-
be1 of employees in its history. There
are 30,395 employees on its payroll in
Akron alone. Indications are that
this will be increased greatly when
new extensions are completed. AS
all indication of the jump in bust
ness, the sales for the. first month in
1920 were $19,28S,000 as compared
to a total OF $8,900,000 in the same
mcnth of 1919.
Motor traffic trucks are now oper-
ating in 26 foreign countries.

Live Longer. Do Not Chip

The rear wheels of heavy duty
trucks for a long time gave tire
manufacturers one OF the greatest
problems with which they have had
to contend.
They thought they had the prob
lem solved when they hit upon the
plan of doubling up; that is, putting
two tires instead of one on each
wheel. But it was found that under
certain conditions-riding on a road

A fit pacemaker, for modern busi-
ness building is the automobile in
dustry. In less than two decades
the building and distributing of au-
tomobiles have grown from an in
cipient effort to one Of the three
largest industries of the nation. The
other two--iron and umber-had
their birth, ages ago.
The automobile in ITS conception
and development is without parallel.
How was it accomplished? My
answer reorganization.
Many Trials Overcome.
The manufacturers of automobiles
in the early days needed mutual
support. They were building with
out precedent; they were fought by
the public; denied highway privi-

leges; legislated against, and only
through mutual effort did they break
down the barriers of prcjudices and
hand the public almost the greatest
boon OF mankind-the automobile
and the truck of today.
Distributors Of automobiles and
trucks sensed the advantage OF CO
operation, and so trade associations
were formed in all large centers, fol-
lowea by smaller ones in the smaller
towns, to help the public solve the
new problems created by the auto
mobile vehicles.

CHICKEN SANDWICHES, JEFF's,
Location at Uranus.

The latest calculations. based on
the perturhatlons of Uranus, are
stated by Dr. Eric DoOlittle to show
that the hypothetical planet beyond
Neptune is nearly four billion miles
from the sun, and requires 2SS years
to complete revolution in its orbit.
1t is much smaller than other distant
planets, with mass only six times
that of the earth, This is a secret of
its elusiveness, and its discovery is
expected to reveal a minute body of
only the twelfth or thirteenth magni-
tude, Search is now being made for
this mystery of the skies near Gemini's
western border.

FOOD FOR FANS.
By Charles A. Starks.

Eureka" is about all we can boast
of by way of the Greek language. Yet
this lone word vocabulary may be
made highly expressive of the thing
that the Negro has been hoping and
looking for in this hitherto slow burg.
That thing is high class baseball play
ed by men of color. Now since "Eu-
reka" means II have found it," then
Eureka is the word, because we have.
The glory of the Monarchs' victory
over our contentious friend from

simply "cussed" the whole shebang as
a cruel upsetting of all their dope.
The Monarchs are a wicked bunch,
and there is no rest for the wicked

The Monarchs. after a set of close

from the chubby little players from
Hardings own state. Things started
off in serious style, neither side scor-

sive Monarchs broke the monotOny by
putting one over. Rogan pitched ele-
giant ball up to ire first half of the
fifth when he hurt his arm and had
to be relieved by Crawford, who fin
ished in great manner, holding the
visitors down to hits and the single

is termed an all-star team, in
which aggregation the name OF

pride that we note that so honor
able distinction has been conferr-
ed upon one whom we know So
well and who lives in our midst.
Kirk is a freshman at the Nor
NAL, which fact increases the re-
markable nature of his attainment
for a freshman does not always

may be assured that Kirk is in

him success as captain of the
