Known Automobile.

nounces that the Columbia line has just
been taken on In India hy the oldest
existing vehicle concern in the world
Ram Naick a Co, 1914 Broadway,
Madras, India,
Y. r Rao, who is representing that
company in this country. tells that in
teresting story OF the past history OF
this ancient company.
II dates its beginning back into an
tiquity-to the days Of palanquins an I
chairiots.
Mr., Rao says that the firm was first
organized centuries ago and began
building palanquins-thuse Wheeiless
vehicles In which passengers we're car
RED on the shoulders Of four stalwart
bearers.
Somewhat later, the Naick company
built chariots, In those early days,
while horses were numerous in India,
they Were used only for horseback rid
ing and war purposes, They were first
used in India to haul Chariots made by
the Naick company.
The next stage OF progress in the
eompaHy's history was the making OF
two-wheel bullock carts.
There is good reason why the man
0t1tAhA0 aAu hSto VI NtItlCiFH IN 1inld
did not progress at that time" says
Mr.. Rao.
India had nc such thing as a road.
Even the streets In the villages were
nothing but muddy trails and nothing
except a two-wheel chariot or 4 bullock
cart could traverse them.
AT a later date, following the build
ing Of fairly passable roads, the Naiek
company extended their line to the
manufacture Of four wheeled vehicles.
such as carriages, coaches and wagons.
And finally, the ultimate stage Of
their progress was marked by becoming
the largest distributors OF passenger
a and trucks in India.
I'VE have never attempted TO build
passenger cars or even passenger car
bodies" says Mr.. Rao, "as we found
that American manufacturers can do
this so much better than we can. even
with centuries OF experience behind
US.
However. we are building a large
number Of motor truck bodies. suited
TO the peculiar requirements OF India,
and mounting them on American truck
chassis.
There have been a considerable num-
per OF Columbia Skies shipped into In
dia during the past few years, and my
company was so impressed with Thorn
that l recently received a cable mes
sage advising me 10 secure the line II
possible.
zone reason why the Columbia Six
seems 80 ideally adapted to india Is
on account OF the automatic thermos-
tatically controlled radiator shutters
which keeps the motor at constant tenn
p~erature.
with the wide extremes of tenn
perature which we have In india, r
ina from an average OF owe 100 degrees
throughout the most OF the year In the
coast cities. down TO temperate climates
in the mountainous territory, we have
had a serious problem to find a car
which would operate equally well in all
territories.

 Tommy Boyle, the f1ashy right for ward of the Reading outfit. was the bright shining star of the contest He accounted for 20 points of his teams total score with six goals from, the floor and two free shots. Fig urauvely speaking, Norwalk was "Boyled" to death.
 Joe Dreyfuss and Jimmy Clinton did the best work for Norwa1k. Drey- fuss performed we'll on the floor and secured three field goals and one foul. Clinton also caged three goals from the floor. Time and again Nor warl1 carried the ball the length of the floor, only to lose it on the try for score.
