japan In A Tight Hole.

Japanese statesmen are in a
.Quandary. They hardly know
which way TO turn. Whatever
course they take they are due
10 have some of their fondest
dreams shaken.
In calling the international
conference al Washington and
including Japan in the list
President Harding specified the
far eastern question as one of
the subjects for consideration
and adjustment.
That is very Objectionable to
the japanese, who prefer 10
nave an exclusive hand in the
far east, where China and
Korea are at their mercy.
II she declines 20 discuss far
eastern questions with the Uni
ted States, England, France,
Italy and Belgium, she admits
her ulterior motives, places
herself on the defensive, and
alienates the respect and for
feits the good will OF the other
participants in the conference.
II she enters into "A discus
sion Of such questions she must
abide by the decisions of the
conference, which means that
the other far eastern countries
will get a square deal and Ja-
panese ambitions Of eXploita-
tion will be forever shattered,
Again. il is shrewdly sus-
pected that Japan has designs
upon the Philippines and other
American possessions, includ-
ing Hiwaii. A conference
agreement would exclude the
japanese from the possibility

islands.
To refuse 20 become a sigma
tory TO such an agreement

Japanese intention TO wage

panese are squirming and
looking for a loophole through

THAYER TELLS OF CAPE AND
 USE 0F BRAKES

Power is usually considered the most important factor in an automo- bile. A great proportion of the pleas uIe obtained from 8 car is the assur- ance that the steepest hills may be climbed with ease, carrying the max iGIum load. Next to power, applied throGsh the correct form Of gearing, and I5's final suitable drive to the Toad wheels, nothing is of greater i'm p0. Lince than the abilky to stop the car al will says Frank Thayer, of TnayeT's Garage in Lowell.
 After reaching the tob of a steep hill. the car must have medium and a safe ORe--to go down the other side one medium through witch this Is done. is to shift gears into inter- mediate. shut eff source of power by closing the throttle. turning oil ignl- ton switch. and go down hill on com precision. This retards the moment um of the car to a certain extent, but not nearly enough. The weight of the average car. beng from two to four thousand pounds. causes the car to gain in momentum, so that if same was not checked by some mechanical means, the car would have such head way that disastrous results would be inevitable.
 Hence the function of the brakes, as fitted to the modern car, and which after all rather eclipse all else in inn portance, as they must be in even more perfect condition than the en- zine, from a safety first viewpoint.
 Brakes are usually divided into two classes the internal expanding, which is known as the emergency or hand brake. and the external contract ing, or the feot and service brake
 One of the greatest troubles with brakes is that of dragging, which will cut down your power and wear lining necessarily-also heat the brake drums badly Then we have grab bing brakes, which cause the tires to drag or skid when brakes are ap- piled, running tire bills to large sums And again we have brakes which are

Let The Battery Man Help To Keep

''Only one way has been found,' says Sid Wright. Willard Service Station dealer, ito prevent storage batteries from being overtaken with spring fever when the first days of warm touri1 weather rolls around. and that goes for the man who drives all winter as well as for the one who drains the radiator and puts jacks under the axles at the first heavy frost. The one way to avoid that tired feeling on the part of yonr bat tery is to cooperate with the battery service station and to take advantage of their knowledge and experience
 Right now is the time to make up your mind that this spring, summer and winter, you will take extra care to see that your battery is tested reg ularly with a hydrometer and tsat it is kept up to above 1.250 even if ad- ditional charge is required to main tain that figure"

RECORD SALES ARE MADE FUR
 STUDEbAKERS

Not only production and financial records of an unusually satisfactory nature but a direct pledge that out side interests or others are far from acquiring control of the Studebaker Corporation, formed the combined subject of a statement given out this week by A. R. Erskine, president of the corporation. The latter, of course, referred to rumors which have gained more or less currency in financial cir cles to the effect that W. c. .Durant, until recently president of the Gen. eral Motors Corporation, and now de- veloping plans for his own Durant Motors, Incorporated, and subsidiaries had acquired substantial holdings in Studebaker, and was to be elected a member of the board this week. This is denied, particularly with reference to that part of the tale which coupled Durant with Erskine and F. s. Fish, chairman of the Stakeholder board, and with whom, it was said, trium- virate was to have been formed in order to control Studebaker affairs. Harry A. Biggs. vice president of sales was elected a member CT the board

.L.ARGF VARIET Y IF R0I-ES TAKEN CARbURETOR

Master carburetors are appearing in more roles than .any other make; ac- cordfng to Ed Simmons, of the Go chise Motor Company, and are mak- ing good in every role.
 Although the word carburetor us- ually brings to mind an automobile. Master carburetors are being used all over the world not only for automo- piles but on tractors. motorboats and other motor-equipped craft and inn plements.
 Simmons has a letter from the agent in Valparaiso, Chile, for an American gas engine company The South American writes: T have us- ed Master carburetors on nine marine engines down here, and after three years of hard use, they are still going strong. They cut the fuel consump- tion of my 12 HIP. motors to less than is used by 10 and even s HIP motors down here. have not spent one cent for repairs to any one of the nine Master carburetors."
 R. F., Ware, Los Angeles contractor. writes: For the last two gears I have specified Master carburetors in ordering equipment. Previous to the time that my two ditching machines were equipped with Master carbure- tors had been having all kinds of trouble with my engines. but since installing Masters there has been no trouble.
