Motors company, who states:
1T would appear from indications
brought out at the important automo-
bile shows held so far this year, that
the tide has turned"
This does not necessarily mean that
the country may face II general short
age of automobiles this coming spring
nor does it mean that business in one
bound has come back to normal. 1t
does indicate, however. that conditions
thruout the country are showing i'm
provement and that when spring rolls
around there will be a very healthy
automobile market.
In the past the annual automobile
shows have proved an excellent baro-
meter and the facts presented this year
are therefore extremely encouraging.
Not only were sales equal to figures of
last year and in some instances even
better than last year, but attendance
records of the various shows point out
that the public visited these eNposi-
tions in larger numbers than ever be-
fore.
In view of these things I believe
1t is safe to assume that n gradual
return to n healthy business condition
is distinctly apparent"

OF FOUR
CAREFUL DRIVERS
by F. IT 7.

Once upon a time, there were four
automobile drivers, who knew the
traffic rules of their city by heart.
and who obeyed them. to the final
period in the last sentence in the bot
tom paragraph.
1t came to pass that these four men
were all out driving on the same Sun
day afternoon. At the intersection of
two highways, they met. One was
going south; another was bound west:
and the other headed north and the
last man was travelling toward the
east.
simultaneously, there flashed into
the heads of these men the instruc-
tions of the rule book: The man to
your right has the right-of-way.
The man from the north could not
go south. until the fellow from the
west had gone east.
The man from the west could not go
east, until the fellow from the south
had gone north.
The fellow from the south could not
go NORTH. until the man from the east
had gone west
The man from the cast could not
go west. until the fellow from the
north had gone south.
Thus. they were deadlockcd In
order for them to proceed. some one
of the quartet must break the rules
No one could turn around. and solve
the difficulty, because the rules do
not permit of turning in the middle of
the block, no one could back up to
the street behind him. since. in some
cases. backing up for n considerable
distance has been interpreted by q
court of record as driving on the
wrong side of tho road-strictly
against the rules.
What were they to do?
What could they do. Others, less
scrupulous, drove round them, past
them. and in front of them. But that
did not make it any the less wrong for
them to follow suit
Helpless, they stood there, until n
policeman came along. and placed all
four under arrest for blocking traffic.
Moral: Use your own judgment.
don't wait until Judgment Day.

COLOSSEUM is A CHURCH,
VATICAN AGAIN DECLARES
Pope Settles Long Argument
Over Rome's Ancient
Edifce.

ROME, October 1.-THE question
whether the Colosseum, that ancient
monument of imperial Rome, where
the Christian martyrs suffered death
and men fought wild beasts to make
a Roman holiday, is a public church
again has been raised and decided. A
proclamation. attributed by some OF
the Roman newspapers to the Vatican.
declares that the famous building is
d public church.
The point was raised recently when
the Roman police prohibited the dele
gates to a convention of the Italian
Catholic Young Mems Association
from congregating in the Colosseum
and holding a parade from that point
to the Vatican.
The public announcement of the de-
cision on this point recounts the his
tory of the Colosseum from early
times. 1t states that Popes Clement
X. Clement XI, Plus v, in their pom
tificates, prohibited further profana-
tions of the holy ground sanctified by
the blood of the martyrs" Benedict
XIV in 1856 declared it to be pub
lie church.
From 1856 to 1870 masses have been
sung regularly in the Colosseum, but
when Victor Emmanuel II took pos
session of Rome in 1870 the practice
was discontinued.
During the war the custom of hold
ing religious services in the Colos-
scum was again revived. After the
war a requiem mass for the soldiers
who died in the great war was held
there.

TOXIC, September % (by maiD.-
The Diplomatic Review in it's Septem-
Der number. referring to the Wash
ington conference, declares that the
following principles are essential to
insure the peace Of the world on a
lasting basis:
That difference of race, religion or
nationality shall not be permitted to
obstruct or interfere with the freedom
of emigration, and a guarantee to
that effect shall be given by the
powers.
That no cause or reason shall be
permitted to stop or interfere with
free and unhindered transportation
of supplies and raw material: but
that economic barriers shall be re-
moved and trade and commerce
placed on a basis of equality, fairness
and on-discrimination.
That the freedom of the seas shall
be guaranteed in times, of peace or
war, provided the act concerned is
not criminal.
That international conference or
negotiations. whether preliminary or
formal, shall be opened to the public.
That an understanding shall be
arrived at among the powers to set
a standard of limitation for armament
with respect to the extent of dominion
or territory to be governed by one
and the same sovereign power.

That the ornaments of the powers
shall be simultaneously removed ana
the storage of a supply of ammunl-
tions of war of any form or klnd
shall be forbidden.
If the powers agreement is secured
on these broad principles, nothing
more need be arranged or agreed to
in insuring the peace of the world.
The editor, however, is not sure of
this, and proposes the following,
which he is inclined to think is more
practicable:
Armaments of any kind on the Pa
cific shall be removed. The fortifi-
cations of Guam, Hawaii and the like.
which prove to be a menace to the
security in the Pacific and the far
east shall be removed. Japan being
expected to do the same.
The armaments not included in the
above shall be brought to the stand
ard of strength that existed prior to
the beginning of 1913, the powers
being expected simultaneously to re-
duce these armaments to the above
mentioned level and standard. Any
arrangement or agreement concluded
at or before the Paris conference
shall not be affected by the results of
the Washington conference-in other
words. the Washington conference
shall have no reactive power.

that is usually unemphasiZed.
Though the United States has con-
sistently protested against territorial
encroachments in China and Siberia,
it is hard to conceive of the nation
sending its sons
across the Pacific to die for countries
too weak or too supine to protect
themselves. 1t is equally improbable
that the Unied States would go to
war because any particular American
business concern in Asia might be
losing in it's competition with for
eign rival.
American Policy In China.
The United States is committed 10

might be necessary to enfoAe those
principles in the future as it mas been

consortium and for the'previous con-
sortium's participation in the build

not pledged itself to guarantee Amer

it granted or requested any special
privileges to Americans doing busi-
ness in China.
Other powers have done more for

HONOR TO MEN WHO DIED
IN AIRSHIP DISASTERS
-Iemorial Proposed by British Aero
nautical Society to Victims Of
ZR-2 and Other Craft.

LONDON, October 12.-The council
of the Royal Aeronautical Society has
decided to establish a memorial fund
to those who lost their lives in the
ZH-2 and previous airships. With
the income derived from the capital
sum raised, it is proposed to en-

connected with airships or allied sub
jcctS, the results of such work to be
embodied in papers to be read before
the Royal Aeronautical Society.
1t is believed that this offers the
best means of carrying on the work
of those who perished in the cause of
airshipS.
The first donation received by the
society consists of three crumpled
and water-stained notes tolaling 6
pounds 10 shillings. taken from

France and Germany forced Japan to
return it to China. Russia obtained
it by lease. and the treaty of Ports

to Japan. In October. 1922, China
could give advance notice of the ter

both countries in 1915.
Much has been said in the United

tension of the Liaotung lease is more
important than the former German
rights in Shantung. China is well
aware of that and Peking's hesi-
fancy and refusal to discuss Japan's

ated largely by a desire to force a

are dependent upon the supplies af-
forded by pushcart dealers.
In Moscow. Petrograd. Samara and
other cities trade conditions are the
same. Basket peddlers. street corner
stands and small. woe-begone shops
with empty cartons and fruit scat
tered over their shelves to make them
seem full. provide all the food that
is available.
Bread, potatoes, onions. meat, sugar.
sunflower seed. red pop are offered
by these dealers, who have come into
existence since the embargo was
raised on trade in foods. One sees
Few full loaveS of bread in these
shops. The bread is sold by the pound
and most customers cannot afford an
hentire loaf.
Occasionally tin of American
salmon or American condensed milk
is seen in Il shop window or on a
market wagon. But such luXuries are
speedily gobbled up by customers
who happen to be ruble millionaires.
Comb honey also appears spasmodi-
cally in the larger shops. 1t is $4,000
IuhleS for less than Il pound, and dis
appears rapidly.
Rusty tins OF Argentine and Aus
tralian corncd beef also come to light
in unexpected places and Il few tins
of American Army hardtack find their

seems to have more than one tin OF
these and the source of the supply is

Most of the merchants are persons

them are women. Frequently every

all sorts of commodities.
