NUTS BEHIND THE WHEEL

New Jersey has made the startling
 discovery that many persons who are mentally deficient are driving motor
 vehicles about the roads and thorough fares of that state. When it is con-
 sidered that New Jerseys method of examining applicants for driver s licenses ranks in stringency with any in the United States" says George B. Duren. in the May issue of MoToR, Cit can easily be imagined how many persons mentally unfit for the respon- sibility are today sitting behind the wheel of an instrument which has death dealing possibilities For a motor vehicle in the hands of an in competent is as dangerous a weapon as a machine gum. What is the con dition in this respect in our own state

There are in round numbers 5000. 900 motor vehicles in use in the United States at the present time. Make one grand procession of all these cars.'' says Howard Greene in the May issue of MoToR, following four feet between cars and the line would be 10000 miles long. If they travelled twenty miles per hour and you made up your mind to watch all of the procession go by, you would have to sit on the fence or stand on the curb or whatever it might be, for six weeks, day and night. That's what s,0O0,000 cars means"

GRIFFITH STRONGLY
 FAVORS CHEVROLET

4 copy of the following letter from the manager of the David W. Griffith ranch at San Fernando, California has been received by Bert o. Brown, local distributor for Chevrolet cars
 The letter is self explanatory, and gives one an idea of how well satisfied discerning buyers are with the type of car mentioned.
 Ar C. c. Morehead San Fernando, Cal
 Dear Sir:
 Replying to your inquiry as to the performance of the two Chevrolets purchased through you last winter, I am glad to say that they have both exceeded my expectations.
 The F. B. 40 sedan is my fourteenth car and while several of my other cars have been high priced. heavy siXes, none have given me more pleasure, comfort and satisfaction to drive than the F. B. 40. The very low cost of operating and maintenance is, natural ly. to some degree responsible for this, especially at this time of high price of gasoline and tires.
 As to the one ton truck, I am not so much of a judge, this being my first experience, but as it makes it's trips regularly. and on schedule time with 100 per cent overload and always ready. there is nothing more to desire. Should be in the market for another ranch truck, it would unquestionably be a Chevrolet.
 Your very truly.
 CARL E.. STERNLOV,
 Manager, D. W. Griffith Ranch.

SOVIET URGES
BLOCKADE END
United States Will Investigate
Russian Situation With
View to Early Action.
(By George 3. Waters.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 24-The
Senate Committee, selected from
members of the Foreign Relations
Committee, is expected to go into all
phases of the Russian situation. as
well as to investigate Martens bureau.
"AIl Soviet Russia is looking for
ward to this investigation as one of
the greatest Importance" said S.
NuorteYa. I'VE expect to convince the
committee that we haven't interfered
with the internal affairs of the United
States. We have had but $4,000 from
soviet Russia with which to run our
bureau this year and 80 people are
on the payroll. We will give an ac-
counting of how all this money has
been spent"
Nuorteva said the soviet govern
ment has a gold reserve of between
s45O,000,000 and $55O,o0o,0O0 and is
willing to pay cash for any commodi-
ties for sale in the United States, un-
til the government can establish a
working balance in the United States
by sending raw material here. He

teriaL Before the grain can be taken
from Russia the railroads Will have
to be fixed up, Nourteva says.
THE two things we want the United
States to do" said Nuorteva, is to lift
the blockade on commerce and to issue
passports to Russia. We have no
anesthetics, such as cocaine, morphine
and opium, and when operations are
performed, patients have to be tied
to operating tables.
"As to the passports, we have appH-
cations from 10000 technical experts
who want to go to Russia to help de-
velop the country. About half of these
are former Russians and the others
are Americans"
Martens is supposed to be the pur-
chasing agent for soviet Russia in
America. He viii furnish the com
mittee with a large list of represent

whom he has opened negotiations to
buy commodities and asks that they
be called as witnesses in his case.

HUERTA-CARRANZA
SCANDAL AIRED
Copies of Correspondence Be-

at Senate Hearing.

Sanantonia, Jan. 24.-Copies of of
ficial correspondence purporting TO
throw some light. on Carranza's refusal
to recognize Huerta were placed in
evidence before the senate sub-com-
mittee investigating the Mexican situ-
alton.
AT that time Carranza was governor
Of Coahuila. The dispute was con-
corning maintenance of state troops.
The former government had approp-
rated annually a certain amount OF
money for that purpose and regard
ing continuance of the play it is now
Madero and Carranza had disagreed.
The dispute was revived after Huerta
assumed control of government.
From the terms of the messages
between them it IS contended that in
return for recognizing Huerta as pres
ident Carranza sought to make Huerta
agree that Carranza be permitted to
remain as governor OF Coahuila and
the federal government continue the
state troops federal aid.
Carranza, according to other mes
sages, objected to federal control of
troops and proceeded to make levies
OF $4,000 on bank, for which Huerta
demanded the reason.

Fear Is Expressed That Warfare
May Break Out at Any Time
on Senate Floor.

washington. Jan. Ed.-Compromise
negotiations in the senate on the
treaty were halted temporarily today
while the republicans took stock of
the situation caused by protests
against a further compromise made
yesterday to Republican Leader Lodge
by Johnson of California; Borah of
Idaho, and others. Lodge conferred
today with other members of the re-
publican bipartisan committee and it
was intimated he would reply to the
democratic proposals Monday that the
republicans would agree only 20
changes in the language of the two
major reservations and would not
yield on any of the principles in
volved.
1t was conceded in all quarters that
the protests of Johnson and Borah
made further negotiations more diff
cult and both sides agreed a situation
was developing where warfare soon
might break out on the senate floor,
despite democratic hopes that the
treaty would not be made a footbalI''
in the senate until compromise nego-
tiations were agreed upon.
The treaty controversy cropped out
briefly in the senate today when
Reed, democrat of clissouri. an oppon-
ent of the treaty. criticised bipartisan
negotiations declaring they were con-
