SALES MANAGER TOR !. M. |. LIKES DEVELOPMENT IF THIS TERRITORY

T certainly think more of this terri tory now than I did a year ago" said Y. H. Day, sales manager for the C. NJ. c. Motor Truck company Of Pon- tiac. Michigan, in speaking Of the re- markable development made here in the truck world. Day is here visiting the Ingleside club after a long siege of illness in the east. During his so- joufn here he has been a constant caller at the sales rooms Of Cal Mess ner state distributor for the G. M. C. truck.
 You know I was down here about wear ago and conditions did not look any too we'll for us then. he continued, but Messner has gone ahead and done wonders down here. His territory is second to none in the United States in point of putting trucks out. He has certainly put G. M. c. on the map down here,
 Day is rather young man to hold so big a job, but a short conversation convinces one that he is we'll fitted to put G. M C. trucks on the roads of the country
 He is certain though that trucks are not going to displace the old reliable truck horse. Of course he explained that horses had been dropping back fast in the big cities and in other places where long haulS have to be made, but there will always be a place for a few horses in this scheme of existence.
 As to the claims made by some peo- pIe interested in the future welfare of the foX-footed animals that it is cheapeSto use them for hauling than IL is to use truck, Day is somewhat skepticaI stThere are very few men who know how much it costs to haul goods by teams. You know the type of old style contractor who had a large number of teams. He never kept any track of how much they cost him and the men he employed were not capable of figuring such things. That being the case I don't believe there is any large user of horse in the country to- day who knows exactly the cost of maintenance. On the other hand there are lots of companies using trucks who keep a very accurate set Of books on their costs and know to penny how

much their outlay is every month on every truck
 T don't think it is necessary tp build a special truck for pneumatic tires" said Day, thereby smashing another well formed theory, which has been go- ing the rounds of automobile men for some time. "Of course it is necessary to make them a. little faster" he con- tinued for pneunatics allow for more speed, but as to radically changing the design I don't think it necessary. They are talking of course about specially designed trucks for pneumatics, but that means speeding them up. Neither do think that the day of the solid tires has passed. There is no getting around the fact that pneumatics are a great thing, and that they enable a truck TO get around a lot faster. but for exceed ingly heavy loads in the big cities and for several other kinds of work be- lieve the solids will continue to be pop uIar."
 According to MT. Day there is a great demand for American trucks in Eng land. In spite of the heavy import tax English users of heavy machines are constantly demanding more. Of course the rate of exchange causes some trou- ble, but at the same time this country is selling thousands of trucks to inn port companies. But in France the story is different The French govern HleIlE HaS tilOuSiHuS Ol <1Iiiti Ataii U os~E>S .on hand It is the opinion of some leading truck authorities that in order to give American trucks a black eye the French government is purposely letting them run down. There are mii- lions of spare parts for American trucks rusting away in various portions of that country, while the government refuses to put them on the market Tn order to affset this many truck man ufacturing companies are rushing spare parts to their dealers in France and making an effort to keep their trucks going This they believe will offset the inroads which German trucks are making in France, for it is true that the Germans are making thousands of trucks and are flooding France with them and for some reason or other they are more popular there than American trucks.

The announcement was made this week that Charles Pope, one of the best known young business men of Phoenix had become associated with the Southern Motor Co, Inc, in the capacity of general sales manager. No change of recent date in the automo- bile world of Phoenix has caused so much comment. Pope is known from one end of the state to the other, and in Phoenix he has a wide circle of friends who are congratulating him on his new connection.
 Pope has been in the automobile business for six years. He started in Phoenix with Ed Rudolph. Later he went with McArthur Brothers. with whom he remained until the outbreak fthe World War, when he enlisted in the navy. He was in the service two years. one year of which was spent in French waters. He was dis charged last summer as a machinists' mate first class, and immediately re- turned to Phoenix.
 Upon his return here he entered the employ of Ferguson and Keeler, with whom Le remained up to the present change.
 In Pope the Southern Motors has placed at the head of their sales or ganization one of best equipped auto mobile men in the city. He has long been recognized as a salesman of con-

Immediately after the armistice was signed it was proposed to build enough automobiles during the year of grace 1919 to offset the shortage of more than a million cars occasioned by the war interruption of 1918. Of course no man could foresee the steel and coal strikes which were destined to so seri- .ously hamper the production schedules of all manufacturers. The fact re- mains that they did occur and that their effect will continue 60 be felt for many months to come
 Authoritative statistics show that au- tomobile production during 1919 barely kept pace with 1917. In the mean time the demand has increased at an unprecedented rate. As result. it is conserVatiVely estimated by those in closest touch with the situation that there exists at the present moment an unsupplied demand for 100000 cars
 In our own business this condition is most clearly reflected in the position in which OldsmobIe dealers find themselves today. In normal times dealers accumulate stocks Of cars dur ing the winter for spring delivery. This winter practically no reserves

siderable ability, and a man who thor oughly understood the automobile market.
 In line with their policy of obtaining the best men obtainable to market their cars, the Southern Motors has also acquired the services of Capt. II. c. Russell as a salesman. Russell has been here since his retirement from the service and has acquired d large circle of friends. Other salesmen who are associated with the Southern Mo tors are J. H. Allen and R. Kane.
 Pope, the new general sales man ager of the company, which expects to put the Moon and Allen cars on the map in Arizona will leave this morn ing for the southern part of the state where he will establish agencies in Tucson, Nogales and Bisbee
 He will make the trip in an Allen car. One of the best features about establishing agencies at the present time is that Pope is in a position to guarantee immediate deliveries on both the Moon and the Allen.
 The Southern Motors which operates in Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and Pendleton, under another name is one of the biggest motor concerns in the west. They are at present negotiat ing for permanent quarters in this city. and expect to announce plans for their new building within a short time.

than 50 cars daily is entirely insuffi- cient, and factory officials report in- sistent demands for cars from all parts of the country. Within few weeks
 the schedule will advance tOs 1S,O00 cars per year. Some idea of the prog ress the Franklin company has made may be noted from the fact that in 1915 the floor space amounted to but six and one-half acres and the annual production only 3400 cars. Plans for 1920 include addition of a half million square feet of floor space, and when this is completed the total floor space of the Franklin factories will aggre- gate thirty -four and one-half acres.

DAUGHTER OF
ACUINALDO IN
U. S. CAPITAL.
She Meets Many Wives of Amer
lean Statesmen and
Makes a Hit.

When General Emilio Aguinaldo was
leading the Filipino army against the
American forces twenty years ago he
probably little dreamed that some day
a daughter Of his would visit the city
of Washington and would be given a
great reception at the famous Con
gressional Club And that the wives
of 120 members of the American Con
gress and two wives of members Of the
Presidents cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives of the Am
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.
Miss Aguinaldo was simply delight
full, was the expression of one con-
gresSman's wife. "She was very mod

IVORY HUNTERS AVOID CEYLON
Neither Elephants Nor BuffaToes Have
TUsks Which Are of Any Value
in Commercial World.

An elephant without tusks seems
almost impossible, yet in Ceylon the
male elephants have no tusks at all !;
they have miserable little grubbers
projecting two or three inches from
the upper jaw and inclining down
wards.
Nothing produces either ivory OF
horn in fine specimens throughout
Ceylon. Although some Of the buff
faloes have tolerably fine heads, they
will not bear a comparison with
those of other countries. The horns
of the native cattle are not above
four inches in length.
The elk's and the spotted deer's
antlers are small compared with deer
Of their size in India. This is the
more singular, as it is evident from
the geological formation that at some
remote period Ceylon was not an
island, but formed a portion Of the
mainland. 1t is thought that there
must be elements wanting in the
Ceylon pasturage for the formation
of ivory.

oughly at home that she captivated ev.
erybody."
On another occasion while in Wash
ington Miss Aguinaldo was given a real
ovation by a Filipino-American audi
ence when she recited My Last Fare
WE'LL" poem of DR.. Jose Rizal, the Fill
ipino martyr.
Miss Aguinaldo is a student at the
University of Illinois, Urbana, Ill.
While in Washington she was the
guest of Mrs. Jaime c. deVeyra, wife
of one of the resident commissioners
from the Philippines. The Capitol
building and the Congressional library
appealed particularly to the young
Filipina, while the beautiful sights
from the Washington monument thrill
ed her with delight When asked how
she liked America, she smiled and an
swered:
''It is a wonderful country. | didn't
like winter at first, but since have
learned how to skate | am having fine
times. All the Americans whom | have
met have been very good to me. My
friends in Urbana and my classmates
in the university are just lovely, but l
cannot help feeling homesick at times
because / am missing my father. My
coming here was indeed a great sacri-
fee for him, for we are very close. He
is so good to me-"
Miss Aguinaldo is intensely patriotic.
She does not conceal her resentment
when she hears or reads of misrepre-
sentation of the Filipinos. 1T is un-
fortunate" she once exclaimed in
voice full of sadness, 'that my country
and my people are hardly known, much
less understood by the people of Am
erica"
Politics is tabooed in any conversa-
ton with this Filipino maid. She
evades the topic by replying that she
is too young to express opinions on
things political. "All l can say" she
declares, "is that l share with my
father in the desire for independence
for my native land There is no ques-
ton about our being able to govern
ourselves"
Filipinos declare Miss Aguinaldo has
q genuine Filipina temperament .
that is, she does not believe in the oc-
cidental custom of "dates" between
young men and women. She does not
see anything wrong in it, she says, but
it is such a violent departure from the
custom in the Philippines that she can
not adopt it.
"You might laugh at me" she said,
"but | cannot go out with one single
escort unchaperoned | simply can't.
| will go back to my country with the
soul Of q Filipino"
A newspaper in one of the large AnI-
arican cities that Miss Aguinaldo visit
ed expressed the opinion that she
would no doubt be greatly impressed
nv. the sight of street cars and some OF
the fine residences she would see, but
he truth is the young lady was raised

car system all her life.

40 Tons of Wedding Rings

Lord Beaverbrook, the owner of Lon
don daily newspaper, has organized a
propaganda to solve Britain's financial
debt by urging all and sundry to send in
their gold and silver jewelry to the
Government. Now an ingenious statis-
tician has calculated that it takes 1000
lbs. of pure gold each year to make the
wedding rings for English brides. TAX
ing the average weight of a wedding ring
at one-half OF. and the number of mar
ried women in the British Isles at 10000
900, the aggregate weight of gold locked
up in this unproductive form is roughly
40 tons avoirdupois. This takes no ac-
count of the strings of rings that repre-
sent the surplus wealth of certain class
of people who have an invincible dis
trust of banks. Sentiment has its value,
of course, and perhaps the sanctity of the
British wedding ring is worth the sum in
vested in it, but those Jeremiahs who de-
light to talk of the approaching bank
ruptcy of old England may reflect that
here is one untapped store of wealth not
taken into account in their calculations.
And to this they may add the gold locked
up in women's useless jewelery.-Ex.

The RickshaW Coolie

All over the country we find coolies,
for a coolie is one who sells his strength,
or in other words does manual labor for
living. In China, however, we find
coolies of picturesque yet pathetic ma
ture. No other country offers so few OPP
portunities for earning living than does
China and in Shanghai alone it is esti-
mated THAT over 100000 men "sell their
strength"
One interesting type of coolie is the
rickshaw coolie who earns from three to
four cents day and if married lives
with his family in straw matched howell,
for which he pays IS or 20 cents a month
rent. In cold weather the family lives in
one room and often the babes are blinded
by the constant smoke that fills the air.
The life of the average rickshaw coolie
is brief at the best for the hard labor tells
on him after few years. Heart trouble
often causes death, while tuberculosis and
the yellow plague also take heavy tolls.
The unmarried coolie finds refuge at
night in the cheap tea houses, where some
half hundred of his class sleep on the
floor of single room.-Exchange.
