CHINESE KILL RUSS
Captives Are Shot to Death With
ReVoIverS.
First Make Victims Dig Graves, Then
Execute Them for the
BoIsheviki.

Amsterdam-The correspondent of
the Handelsblad, who recently re-
turned from a trip in soviet Russia,
gives the following account of his ill.,
vestigations Of the activities Of the
Chinese employed there by the boil
sheviki as executioners.
"Such horrible stories were being
told in Europe about these Chinese
that I thought it worth my while to
learn more about them. AS joke, I
asked everyone who asked my opinion
Of the bolsheviki to show me some
real man-killing Chinese but I always
was told they couldn't produce any
just now because they had all gone to
the Denikine front.
"I was told the Chinese, if COM
manded by their own officers were ex-
cellent soldiers, but they ran like hares
if their officers were killed. Execu-
tons are now very rare in Moscow,
but, in August, when thousands of
counter-revolutionar were slaugh-
tered, it was carried out by the Chi
nese because the authorities feared
the Russian soldiers would refuse to
do the work..
'The Chinese do this work indiffer-
ently-like they do all other work they
are ordered to perform. They are
blind, constituencies tools in the hands
Of the men who feed them and pay
them and who raised them from the
position Of coolies in which they came
to Russia to the rank Of soldier, of
the guards.
IF the boltsjak' (his name for boil
shevik) orders something, the Chinese
does it, and he does it in his typically
practical way. He first makes the vic
tim dig his own grave and then shoots
him with his revolver. He is not cruel
about it, just practical.
"When boltsjak says kill, then he
kills with an unperturbed face. And
when boltsjak says, You may stop
now,' with the same cool face he let's
his victim CO."
The correspondent after some weeks
in Russia left when he was refused
permission to make investigations
freely as he pleased.

BotanIsts at Cambridge University,
England, Claim to Make vegeta-
ton Immune.

Cambridge, Notwithstanding
university botanists claim that it is
now possible to breed disease-proof
plants.
A special body Of investigators who
have been devoting themselves to the
practical testing Of the Mendelian he
redity law are engaged in immunizing
wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and roots,
the results Of which will be shown in
the summer to a distinguished assem-
bly, Of medical men.
The "plant DOCTORS" as they are
called, have already succeeded in
breeding a new wheat known as "yeo-
man" which has yielded Il quarters
(96 bushels) to the acre-three times
an ordinary crop.

ITALY MAKES OYSTERS SAFE
Removes Impurities by Keeping Them
In Sterilized Sea Water for a
Week.

Washington.-An Italian company
has perfected process for removing
impurities from oysters, according to
q report to the bureau Of foreign and
domestic commerce..
On being taken from beds along the
Venetian coast the oysters are shipped
to Rome, the shells carefully washed
and thrown into great tanks filled with
sterilized sea water. The tanks are
constantly replenished and the flowing
water has been found to wash all i'm
purities from the oysters which, after
a weeks TREATMENT are shipped to
the retailers.

VIA CRUCIS RITE is Revived
Rome Again Witnesses Ancient Cere
mony of the Cross in the
Coliseum.

Rome, Italy.-After an interval Of
fifty years, the Coliseum again has
been the scene Of the picturesque cere-
mony of the Via Crucis. Pope Bene-
dict XIV, who reigned from 174O to
175S, instituted the ceremony by plac-
ing cross in the center of the arena
where martyrs had given their. lives
for the faith, and erecting fourteen
stations Of the cross. Each Friday
the ancient amphitheater witnessed
the solemn rite. The practice was
abandoned in 1870, when Rome be-
came the capital Of united Italy.
The celebrants have once more WIS.,
tied the Coliseum, however, and ar.
rayed in their strange gray garments,
which include a cowl covering the
head and face, have revived the cere-
mony of old time. Princess Barberini
led a column Of women, and among
the men taking part in the rite were
many from patrician families.

Assert Ancient Tribes
Did Much Irrigating

Albuquerque, N. M.-That
prehistoric peoples Of New Mex
leo did a good deal Of irrigat-
ing is indicated by the remains
of canals and bitches found in
the state, as we'll as in other
parts Of the Southwest, accord
ing to 81. F. Robinson, head of
the Indian irrigation bureau
here.
The remains Of 217 miles Of
bitches built by the Pueblo In
dams alone are to be found, and
there are evidences Of elaborate
water systems at the Salt River
valley in Arizona.
These bitches were all dug by
hand, according to Mr. Robin
son, and clay banks and beds
were constructed where the way
lay over sandy plain, while the
method Of blasting through
rocks was to heat the rocks,
crack them with large stones
and remove them from the way.

Three million American tourists are
expected in France in 1890 and 1871,
according to an estimate made by the
president OF the French Motor Tour
ing club.
It Is estimated that on Jan. 1
the state Of Pennsylvania has IL
censed 100000 passenger cars, $4,000
commercial cars and 100000 drivers
and operators.
The ordnance department has estab-
lished designing offices at Syracuse,
Cleveland, Detroit and Peoria to bring
about closer relations between the au-
tomotive engineers and the war de-
partment.
The value Of motor cars stolen
throughout the state Of Pennsylvania
since Jan. l. 1919. totals $3,S73,367, rep
reseuting 6223 vehicles. Sixteen hum
dred and twenty-o one were recovered.
The largest truck ever made is now
used by T. +. Cathcart OF Atlanta, Ga.
1t is 26h feet long, liz feet high and
has a loading space of S35 cubic feet.
Unloaded it weighs 1850 pounds.
Before the European war Great Brit
ain. Germany and France controlled
the motor market in Latin America,
but the American automobiles and
trucks are now selling rapidly owing
to their durability and attractiveness.
The speedway along Harlem river,
New York. hitherto used only by trot-
ting horses and carriages, was recently
opened to automobile use, excepting
commercial vehicles. Since 1898 the
course has been used exclusively by
horses.
Americas Main Street." as the Lin
coin highway has been called, will soon
be duplicated in Canada. Definite
plans have been formulated for the or
ganization of an association along the
same lines as the Lincoln highway as
ISOLATION. and a pledge was made to
construct a great transcontinental road
from Halifax to Vancouver
Analysis OF the mortality figures in
the state of New York concerning au-
tomobile accidents shows 5000 out of
10000 were killed as result from care
lessness on the part of the pedestrian.
OF these 5000 were among persons
crossing the streets from the middle of
the block, and by far the greater num-
Der OF the remainder were Of children
playing in the streets.

fabrication Is q subject Of vital in
terest to the owner and driver of any
motor vehicle Nothing less than care
I ful study and attention. can give one
the knowledge necessary to enable him
to know--not guess--that his car OF
truck is being properly oiled. Motor
truck maintenance is complicated
subject, since the care required by any
given vehiclesis determined so largely
by factors that are peculiar to itself
1t IL practically impossible to lay down
any set OF maintenance rules and say
that they should invariably be applied.
Tho Individual truck owner must large
" study his own maintenance problems
and solve them as best he may.
fabrication Is one factor in mafnte-
nance. however, 30 vital in its bearing
on the operation of the truck that in
its broad outlines the subject may be
treated so as to be applicable to all
motor trucks. And let us say in the
beginning that fabrication properly APP
piled will result in very large savings
IN actual money, to say nothing of
saving in time, which is money with .
commercial motor installation.
CHART is HELPFUL
To begin with the motor truck owner
should study the chart supplied by the
company that manufactured the We
will not be found as simple as is de-
sirable for the use of the ordinary truck
driver and II may be necessary to have
a large size simplified chart drawn for
the use of the men. From this chart
1t will be possible to draw up a regu-
lar schedule of fabrication operations,
showing the men exactly where to lu-
bricate, when. and indicating the quail
ity of lubricant to be used both winter
\ VI
lar fabrication schedule is the first
step in the fight to secure maximum
efficiency and the rest of the battle is
In forcing the men to live up to the lu-
IRRIGATION requirements
One of the troubles for which the
truck owner must watch is the con-
tamination of the lubricating oil by
gas leakage past the piston rings, In
some big truck engines as much as two
quarts of gasoline will leak down into
the crank case in eight or ten weeks
OF running. Lubricating oil that has
been thinned in this way by gasoline
or kerosene or any other fuel loses
much Of it's lubricatine quality: it be-
comes simply an emulsion which per-
forms little or none of its intended
function. Very serious trouble with
the engine may result from this condi-
ton. In cases where this trouble is
chronic the use or heavier oil will
help and in addition the crank case
must be drained frequently and be re-
filled with fresh oil. And 1t should be
made rule to use only branded oil
put out by manufacturer with rep
utation to sustain. The best oil is
cheapest in the end, as many an ex-
perimenter with cheap, unnamed oil
has found to his sorrow.
CYLINDER ONLY ONE CARE
1t must not be assumed that cylinder
ana piston fabrication is all that the
truck operator has to worry about. The
Tan bearing, auxiliary shafts, the igni
ton unit, whether magnetic or other
wise. all demand careful and syste-
matte fabrication.
The clutch assembly is another unit
needing careful fabrication. Truck
clutches are of three general types,
plate. cone and multiple disc, dry or

mechanism there are numerous smaller
parts requiring systematic fabrication,
the oil holes on the brake cross shaft,
for instance. the brake linkage, shackle
bolts, etc. The wheel bearings should
be repacked at monthly intervals.
If the truck owner will make sure
that fabrication has been properly car
ried out he will have laid firm foun-
dation upon which to build the struc-
ture of economical and efficient me-
chanical operation.
