FIRST SIGHT OF AUTO
PUZZLE TO MEXICANS

1--WE drove into the outskirts of town
about $3.50. Natives who never had
seen an automobile came to the doors
OF their huts, took one look and at
once disappeared"
Contrary to the natural supposition,
the foregoing paragraph is not an ex-
tract from a dairy compiled by some
explorer of twenty or thirty years
ago, when four wheeled vehicles were
first beginning to be propelled by en-
gine power. 1t is a paragraph from
a letter written in the year 1920 con-
cerning an incident that occurred in
1920 on the North American conti-
nent. 1t continues
''As we drove down the main street
of the town. curiosity overcoming
their fear, children in Increasing num-
bers ran along beside us, cheering and
cIapping their hands"
To be more specific, it is part of an
account of the arrival of the first
automobile in the town of Tantoyuca,
state of Vera Cruz, Mexico. The car
was driven by. Frank S. Van Horn,
chief geologist for the Cias del AlSwi.
s. A., of Tampico Tampa, Mexico. He
was accompanied by two other ge-
ologists-G. H. shelton and Richard
Bryant. The trip was made in Dodge
Brothers touring car.
Tantoyuca is a little city about sew
enty-five miles from the Gulf Coast
and sixty miles from a railroad. 1t is
in a rather mountainous country, with
steep hills, in many instances covered
with large bouIders, making the roads
almost impossible except for pack ami
mails.
"Up to the time of our trip" Van
Horn says in his letter to Dodge
Brothers. Detroit, mo attempt ever
had been made to get an automobile

AUTOS ARE NOT LISTED
WITH HNON-ESSENTIALS

Wide circulated reports that the
Federal Reserve Board had classed
automobiles with mon essentials" and
ordered member banks to restrict the
financing Of automobile accounts were
emphatically denied by Gov. William
p. c.. Harding at, the meeting in Cleve-
land of credit and advertising sections

turers Association.
The unmistakable terms used by
Gov. Harding in denying the erron-
eous reports will have most benefit
cial effect upon the automotive indus
try, says the b. f. Goodrich Rubber
Co. Now that the exact attitude of the
reserve board has been clearly stated,
the industry can go ahead without be-
ing hampered by unwarranted restric-
tions.
Nothing has been done by the Fed
eral Reserve Board said Gov. Bard
ing, ''that reflects in any manner upon
one of the greatest industries in the
country. 1t would be a serious thing
for any body of men to attack or at
tempt to destroy business as firmly
rooted and having as many elements of
So far as the Federal Reserve Board
is concerned, no such attempts have
been or will be made"
Mr. Harding said that the dissent
nation of the reports that the board
had ruled against the industry were
probably due to the natural reluctance
of some bankers to say no to an ap-
plicant for credit when it might mean
the loss of an account. On investiga-
ton, hA said, it had been found that
many bankers had followed the lines
of least resistance and had "passed
the buck" to the Federal Reserve
Board.

HOUSING A

As a nation, the United State
has done nothing toward solving
the problem OF housing, yet this
problem is one that has become
acute in most large cities, and is
causing concern even iii smaller
communities. The almost complies
cessation Of building during the wal
followed by period of soaring
prices for labor and materials. Tn
dertaking to build a house or m
apartment block today is a risky
proposition. because the builder
knows what he will have to pay foi
his material and for his help before
the job is completed.
The shortage created in wartime
has not been made good, and in any
community Of considerable size
there can be found many families
that literally do not know where
they will be able to find shelter.
The results are extremely bad
particularly among the poor. Al

POCKET
MONEY.

\ few years ago pocket money al
lowanees for a small boy meant a
nickel or a dime a week. The
youngster whose father or mother
gave him a quarter was exception
al; he who boosted half a dollar
was a prince of high good fortune.
Parents exceeding the customary
ten cent limit did not meet with ap-
prevail outside the boundaries of
small iboydom. Even within its linn
its their liberality was liable to
cause jealouses. chickering's, blue
eyes, incarnadined proboscis, torn
Jackets. The neighbors declared
with emphasis that the Joneses
would ruin their son; he would grow
up with no idea Of the value Of
money; they encouraged him to be
spendthrift.
Nowadays the boys allowance has
to be larger Soda water, candy,
marbles, tops, practically every
thing a boy wants to buy out OF his
own pocket have scared along with
beef and bread. There are carfares
to be paid nowadays where none
was known only a few years ago;
to go fishing, or swimming, or chest
nutting, the adventurer does not
trudge two or three miles. but pays
a soulless corporation six or seven
cents. Oldsters shake their heads
and lament the Punishment of poet
ry from juvenile life, but their re-
,grets are not shared by the victim
of stone bruise who can ride home
on the trolley instead Of hoodng it

THE HU M ANNESS OF
THE GOVERNMENT

Any enthusiasm one might have
felt over the newspaper headings
announcing big cut in the public
debt during March" is suddenly
cooled by reading the dispatch uu-
der the headlines. March payments
on the public debt" it says, were
confined almost wholly to retire
ment OF certificates of Indebtedness
issued in anticipation Of income
and profits taxes. 1t Just means
that the government had spent the
taxes before collecting them, and
that before long it will be increas-
ing the public debt" by issuing
more certificates of Indebtedness in
anticipation Of income and profits

short it means that the govern

SPLITTING THE
REPUBLICAN, VOTE.

On March Is last It was pointed
out in this place that the World, the
leading Wilson newspaper, had
nominated Hoover not because
it believed he was a Democrat
but as part OF the campaign to
siye third term to Mr. Wilson by
splitting the Republican party. The
sun, three weeks afterwards, warm
ed this over and produced it as a
news discovery. Mr.. Hoover has
since said that he is a Republican,
determined to run on no other par
ty nomination. He has at least en-
listed the pathetic support of the
Tribune, the Roosevelt Progressive
organ of 1912.
II Mr., Hoover is nominated by the
Republican convention it will be the
duty of good citizens to vote for
him against the Democratic candi-
date and all the waste and 1obbery
that candidate must necessarily
stand for. The only real possibility
before the Democratic party at
present, it is almost needless to say,
is still Mr.. Wilson. The difficulty
about Mr., Hoover and the Worlds
disinterested efforts is that he will
not r I'm as an Independent. 1t is
necessary, therefore, to find some
one who will give Mr. Wilson a
walkoyer such as he had in 1912.
This time the Hearst newspapers
have found their ideal in Senator
Johnson of California. Exactly as
Roosevelt, running as Progressive.
made the Wilson election possible
in 1912, so Johnson in California. off
his own bat, defeated Hughes in
1915. In neither election did Nj.
Wilson receive majority of the
recorded popular vote. Hughes, on

SPLITS
REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

Michigan IS the first of the I'm.
p0rtant states TO hold a President
lal preferential primary, and John
sons extraordinary vote in the in
lustrial centers shows that the la
Dor element in the Republican party
is thoroughly radical. 1t is as a rad.
ical that the Senator from Califor-
MIA is making his campaign.
The opposition to the League OF
Nations consists OF extreme conser-
vatsm and extreme Tadicalism, and
as bitter-ender Johnson represents
the extreme radicals. He regards
the League of Nations as wholly
bad and IS against it with or with
out reservations. On that issue he
has joined hands with all the Soc
ialist and Soviet sympathizers,
who In turn have Joined hands with
me Sim Feiners and the former
pro-Germans under the Hearst ban
ner.
The Senator is radical in other
ways IS well. In his opinion, what.
ever is is wrong. and he set forth to
capitalize the general unrest and
discomfort of the country. The
Michigan primary shows that he
has achieved a very large measure
of success. The Republican party
is again split wide open, and moth
ing prevents civil war between the
two factions except the mutual hun
ger for the spoils Of government.
SO far as principles as policies are
concerned, there is nothing what
ever in common between the right
wing and the left wing of the party.
