Also it is regarded by those who

too bold for immediate reduction.

Many Theories Advanced

ton. Lacking the moving factor In

American proposals, it is difficult 10
! say TO what extent Admiral Kato's
utterance has cleared the air.
There is a feeling in some well in
formed circles that Baron Kato touch

Japan's willingness to reduce her now
famous eight battleship and eight bat
rle cruiser fleet program. To that
sequence is to be added a third eight

obsolescence q capital ship has u first
line life Of but eight years and must
be replaced by new ship within that
: period.
, Navy without Definite Objective
The American navy has no definite
objective. 1t does not report an ord
cred program Of replacement for main
tanning any fixed force on q fixed
ratio oc battleships and battle cruisers.
The old British two-power standard
which governed the building program
prior to 1914, went by the board with
the German fleet.
Great Britain is not today building
any capital ships. -Four new battle
cruisers have been authorized in the
way of requirements for war losses
and 10 balance that side of the fleet,
but they have not been laid down.
The exact status of Japan's new
craft is not known. 1t is certain, how
ever, that Japan has not started con.

ALMOST HALF
 AUTO OWNERS
 BUY IN T|NE

NEW YORK, March 26-Nearly half the people who buy cars today pay for them on the installment plan.
 This is the conclusion made by sta tisticians of the General Motors Ac ceptance Corporation on the basis of returns from more than 1000 dealers in the United States.
 The report shows that these dealers sold 149,136 cars, of which 7S,407 were boughts outright and 6S,729 were sold ''on time,' making 467 per cent of the total number The period of these sales covered perhaps the best selling period in automobile his tory, from August l, 1919, to July 31, 1920.
 Farmers buy more cars on time than they do for cash, according to this report. City dwellers pay cash more frequently than the farmers, on- ly 44.9 per cent of the cars sold to the former being through credit ar engagement.
 The average down payment on all time-payment sales is 40.3 per cent of the cash price. The average time al lowed on these payments is 9.3 months to city car owners and III months to farmers.

HOW THE PREMIER CAUGHT HIS
 TRAIN-A FORD SHORT STORY

en by a grlnnlng country youth. He was appealed to. Would he be so kind and generous as to convey the Prime Minister of Canada and the Prime Ministers wife to St. Thomas to enable them to catch a train? Hu- manity and the spirit of goodfellow- ship conquered doubts.
 ''Walli" drawled the youth, good naturedly, "I reckon I can do my damndest but 1 only got one reliable cylinder left in this boat If she gives out-I don't know what you'll dol"
 His offer was accepted and the Premier and his fair wife were bun dled into the back seat, while the young driver cranked up and started off.
 This reminds me of our experi- ences with our first car out in West ern Canada, sArthuri" said Mrs. Meighen, reminiscently and she and her noted husband chuckled indul- gently over memories of the past.
 Story Isn't Fiction
 If this story were fiction, the little Ford would have taken the Prime Minister and his wife right up to their train in triumph, but this isn't fiction and the little Ford, after a heroic effort, failed. That one cylin- der played out just quarter of a mile from the city limits and horse and buggy had to be communicated to take the Prime Minister and his wife the remainder of the journey.
 It was the little Ford, however, and nothing else, that played the role of the hero in the rescue and it was the driver of that little Ford who was heartily commended by Premier Meighen and munificently rewarded for his trouble.

Wireless Telephone
 From Buenos Aires
 To Paris Promised

BUENOS AIRES, March 26.-Wire less telephone communication between Buenos Aires and Paris is a promise of the not distant future The govern ment has granted d concession to the Central Wireless Telegraph Company of Paris to construct on the Argen- tine coast d powerful radiO-telegraph and radio-teIephone station to com municate with France and other European countries. The company, it is stated, expects to establish tele- phone connection with Paris by a sys- tenn of continuous waves of 800 kilO- watt power and over.
 The duration of the concession is for 30 years. It authorizes the com pany to carry on experiments in long distance radio telephony and if at the end of three years the experiments are considered by the Argentine goy- ernment satisfactory, the concession will be extended to permit commer- cial exploitation of wireless telephone as well as telegraph communication. Three plants are to be erected ac- cording to the plans.

BUICK DEALERS
 CONFIDENT OF
 AUTO INDUSTRY

Here is an example of the conf dence Buick dealers and their finan- ciers have in the motor car industry in general and the Buick cars in par ucular, says Ben Mcconnell, manager of the local branch of the Southern Arizona Auto Co., Buick distributors, quoting from the Buick Bulletin"
 Five Chicago dealers in one day bought Buick cars valued at $477,- 757.65 from the Chicago branch of the Buick Motor Co."
 Fasimiles of the five checks are al so printed in the Bulletin as evi. dence of the truth of this statement. One of the five checks is for S156,- 55792.
 Some sale," says Mcconnell. This is but i illustration of the efforts be- ing made by Buick dealers everywhere to guard against the shortage of Buick cars that is bound to result again this spring and summer, and to satisfy the transportation needs of motorists in their communities. The wise motorists knows that present purchasing should receive his imme- diate attention.2
 Again quoting from the Bulletin:
 Just within sthe front entrance 10 the Grand Central Palace was the honor position of the New York Ma tional Automobile Show, awarded Buick for the greatest volume of sales last season" And around the impress siye display of the new Buick cars, motorists from all parts of the coun- try gathered, many of whom assured themselves of Buick cars for spring and summer delivery by placing their orders in advance.

BE
 CAPELESS IN
 BUYING TUBES

How do you buy an auto tube-as a merely necessary and somewhat in. cidental accessory or as a part of the tire as vital as the casing? Thus asks Thorlief Olsen, of the Slag Dump Garage.
 Upon the motorists answer to this question depends. in large part, the degree of his freedom from tire trou- bles. The car owner courts trouble when he buys tubes carelessly. The fact that tire costs are largely depen- dent upon tubes is frequently over looked. Though the motorist has learned to shun 'gyp' and no name tires by reason of bitter experience along the road, bargain price ire quently causes him to buy an inferior tube. Cheap. and unbranded tubes will handicap any casing.
 'Leaky tubes ruin millions of tires annually through under-inflation. Or dinarily the motorist planes his cas- ing for trouble for which his tubes are almost entirely responsible On the other hand, good tubes enable a tire to deliver the maximum mileage which the maker built into it. The best casing is at the mercy of a poor tube. As the tube represents small sum in comparison to the cost of any standard casing. it is frequently the part of economy. to throw away infer for or worn out tubes The purpose of the tube is to hold air and to keep on holding air. When it fails in this, it is worthless. Some tuDes, if pune tured, are easily mended. Some rip. ! The difference in tubes is worth the same careful attention from the mo- torist that he gives to the purchase of his castings

It all happened on a lonely and very muddy country road in western Ontario, one cold and windy night in November. The Honorable Arthur Meighen, Premier of Canada, had been speaking in the little town of Aylmer in the interests of the gov ernment's candidate in by-election and he and Mrs. Meighen, and other members of their party, were return ing in a high-powered automobile to St. Thomas, where a special train was waiting to convey them to Ot- tawa.
 The Premier was in hurry. Mat ters of national importance required that he return to the Canadian cap- itol as quickly as possible. The driv- CT of the big auto was losing no time in covering the twelve-mile jour- ney when, just four miles from their destination, the inevitable happened a tire blew out.
 The distinguished party found themselves marooned at midnight in the heart of nowhere in particular. There was not a friendly light in sight; nothing but gloom. An anemic flashlight retarded rather than facili- tated the work of repairing the dam age. It looked as if a precious hour must be lost before the car could pro- eeed. The Premier grew restless.
