A New 6-Cylinder Nash

Announcement is made by the Nash
Motors Company of new series of six
cylinder cars which in appearance, rid
ing comfort and mechanical excellence
eclipse anything that heretofore has
borne the Nash name plate. The an
nouncement comes as a distinct and SEN
sational surprise to the automobile in
dustry. Introduction of this series at
this time means that Nash Is the first
in its price field with a new model for
the 1922 season.
The new Nash series includes five
passenger touring. seven passenger tour
ing. roadster, coupe, sport model and
sedan: 1t Is known officially as Nash
691 series.
Twelve years ago when c. w. Nash
became identified with automobile manu-
featuring a new force came into the in
dustry. The public Is familiar with the
record he has made and In the industry
he Is an outstanding figure. With the
announcement of the greater Nash Six
comes tho crowning achievement of his
career.
Introduction OF the new Nash series
at this time means that man can buy

and insure against delayed delivery in

president and general sales mana ger Of
the Nash Motors Company. The new
and greater Nash Six beyond question
meets the demand for increased value
with new standard Of riding comfort
a vast development in performance and
striking distinction in appearance.
New straightline bodies and lower
tops distinguish the five and seven pas
senger touring models; the sedan body
Is lower and similar refinements In ap-
pearance have been added to the sport
model, coupe and roadster. All cars
are equipped with parking lights of at
tractive design and all have silvered
outside door handles. The new spring

Old Men Return to Their Ac-
custOmed Positions.

Sweeping changes in the personnel Of
the Locomobile branches throughout the
country have followed the recent re-
turn of former executives of the COM
pany to their accustomed posts. These
changes have resulted from the ex-
pressed plan of the directing heads of
the company to return directly to the

factory at Bridgeport, Conn.
The Locomobile branches throughout
the country have grown up with the
factory. Since the organization of the
company, in 1899. direct merchandising
methods have been in vogue. 1t is to
restore this practice. and to emphasize
the personal relationship between builder
and owner of the car, that the branches
and dealers are being returned to direct
factory responsibility. The Locomobile
executives believe their product is most
successfully handled through this direct

By emphasizing the more glaring

Haste In replacing punctured or
blown out tubes Is one trouble. The
right way to place a tube into cas-

1t should be applied carefully, the
side bearing the stem always being
kept in sight. When 1t is in the cas-
ing 1t should be talced carefully and
the fingers forced all around the tire
to make sure the talc has been even

The right way is to place the tube

Packard Single Six Covers
1,431 Miles on Ga

If any Packard single six owner
should step up and tell you that he is
getting better than twenty miles to the
gallon from his car don't consign him
to the Ananias Club or hand him the
crown once worn by Baron Munchausen,
for he has convincing proof of his as
serion in the gasolene economy record
established by q standard single six
touring car taken right out of stock in
recent six day test run covering a
total of l.431.4 miles.
With three drivers taking turns at
the steering wheel from day to day. the
car hung up a grand average OF 22.15
miles TO the gallon despite the fact
that one days run was made In the
teeth of forty mile gale and another
was completed with the hood and body
covered with sleet. The daily record
of the car is as follows:
New York to Philadelphia and return
Average. I.2 miles to the gallon for
211.6 miles.
New York to Kingston and return
Average. 2S.5 miles to the gallon for
200 miles.

for 205.4 miles

AMERICAN CREWS

Percentage of Alien Seamen Put
on Craft Takes Big Drop,
Benson Shows.

The, Amsricanization of crews on
American ships by the sea service
bureau of the United States Shipping
Board has jumped from 10 per cent In
1917 to 70 per cent in. February, 1921,
according to a statement issued by
Admiral w. s. Benson. chairman OF
the shipping board.
In 1917, when the board first started
to place men on vessels, at the post
Of New York tho Americans below
the grade of ofhcers were less than
10 per cent Of the number required.
During the month of February. 1871,
70 per cent OF the men below the
grade Of ofhcers placed at New York

OPPOSE
SHIP CHARTER PLAN
Might Tie Up Nearly All U. S.
Merchant Fleet, Head of
Association Fears.

Opposition to the plan to have the
Shipping Board adopt the bare boat
charter system for Its vessels has
been expressed by the United states
Ship Operators Association,
Charles II. Potter, the president. 10
quoted as saying the plan recon-
mended BY . committee OF the Aneri-
can steamship Owners Association
might tie UP carly all the Govern
ment-owned merchant ships.
Under the present system OF alloca-
ton the board is paying the operators
OF it's vessels a commission for han
ding the tonnage Under the bare
boat plan the board would charter It's
vessels at q, fixed fee per ton per
month.
Under the ALLEGATION plan the board
assumes all risks OF loss and no capi-
tai investment IL required on the part
of the operator, Many OF the con-
Germs operating ships on this basis
have no tonnage Of their own and
have been formed simply for the pur-
pose OF running the boards ships In
addition to the losses OF millions of
dollars Incurred by the Government
from the operation OF these vessels.
the ALLEGATION system has required the
board to maintain large personnel
to handle the accounts and details OF
the system.
Adoption of q bare boat plan, II Is
pointed out, will eliminate losses on
the part Of the Shipping Board from
operation and will do away with mil
lions Of dollars OF annual overhead
expense by eliminating most of the
personnel of the division of opera
lions and the comptroller's Office.
In place OF continuance of the
heavy losses on its vessels. the board.
under the new plan. will be assured
OF an income from them. With the
charterers assuming all risks Of loss
In operation, more efficient handling
of the vessels is assured. with bench
cial effect in the development of the

|. IN FIGHT FOR TRADE
Some Establish Connection
With Foreign Concerns in
Effort at "C0me-B Back"

Two outstanding features charac-
ttrized the situation of Germany's
merchant marine in 1920. according
to II. w. Adams. representative of
the department of commerce at
Berlin. On the one hand. there was
the surrender of the vessels under
the terms OF the peace treaty. and,
en- the other, the vigorous efforts OF
the old navigation companies to
resume their former connections and
to re-establish their network Of
lines in various parts of the globe.
At the outbreak of the war Ger
many possessed a fleet of 1895 ships.
ngSregating. in round numbers, $40
900 gross registered tons. Deducting
the deliveries OF tonnage under the
terms Of the treaty. there remained
to Germany at the end of 1920 APP
tons, OF which only about 100000
tons were in ships of over 1000 tons,
not adapted to ocean traffic. 1t is
estimated that at the end of the first
quarter of 1921 between 10000 and
10000 tons will be added to the
German fleet.
Various German naviaGtion COM
panies have sought new ways of
resuming their former activity. Some
Of these concerns followed the plan
which was in practice before the
war of forming q working agree
ment among themselves, while an
other expedient was that of effecting
a connection. with foreign lines.
At the beginning of last Decem-
Der, there was q total of sixty-seven
foreign steamship lines maintaining
regular routes from Hamburg to the
principal countries of the world.
Among this number were represented
several flags which had seldom If
ever been seen in that port before
the war. The countries represented
together with the number Of lines
OF each were as follows: English.
&c; Dutch. IL; Norwegian, 6; French.

challenged by Capt. wsicott. who
says use can be found for each.
The condition of the craft forms q
marked contrast to the condition of
those at PrslPs Island, II reports
from that place are to be believed.
The Pra1fs Island craft are going to
pieces, It recently was charged. This
charge has never been denied by the
Shipping Board, which made an in
vestiGation of Its own.
II is the 1ee steel ships at Camp
Eustis which are creating the most
interest in shipping circles. These
ships not only are larger than the
wooden ships. but also are better
ships. They will last longer, win
carry more cargo and can be operated
more economically, II 10 said.
NOT SENT TO B0NEYARD.
They have not been sent to Z bone
yard in any sense OF the word. They
are moored In James river for safety
until the present shipping sIump shall
have passed. And the fate OF ship
ping, the shippers here say. depends
on the action taken by the present
Congress- 1t 10 known that President
Harding has given this matter q great
deal OF thought; that he has sought
the advice of the men best In 4 POSI-
tion to know whereof they speak.
II recently was reported that TWEEN
ty OF these ships are soon to be
brought down, overhauled and placed
in trade. This report cannot be con-
firmed in this city.
A glance at this merchant armada

ahead for the American shipbuilds r,
unless there is an immediate and rae
icsi change OF policy and conditions
throughout the world.
The Washington times., 1921-04-25

Two hundred and ATTY of the craft
are built OF wood and are anchored
at Claremont. between Newport News
and Richmond. One hundred and
eiGhty-five are OF iron and steel and
located near Camp Eustis.
Capt. II. J. Walcott presides over
the destinies OF the wooden ships for
the United States Shipping Board. He
declares they are IN hrst-class shape,
and stands ready to make good his
boast to all who care to como and
see.
SAYS MONEY NOT WASTED.
Captain walcott further says that
the 500. 900 Uncle Sam spent on
the wooden ships was not thrown
away as many experts claim. He
says the United States can and will
ind a use for the ships.
Machinery has been removed from
most of the craft and sent to Nor
folk. There IL was oiled and slowed
in government warehouses; Decks
rave been protected with liberal
coats OF paint, and canvas and rig
cling likewise cared for. The ships
are as spick and span, to general APP
pesrances, as they were the day they
were launched, and the shipbuilders
secured better than $4,000 each for
them.
The craft are anchored in units of
seven each. One ship in each seven
acts as a mother ship. II carries
a full Ecrew and keeps steam in the
boilers. The crew of this ship looks
after II and the other six in the
unit.
SHIPS DOT RIVER FOR MILES.
The ships dot the river as far as
the eye can see. They are limited as
to tonnage. however, and. according
to shipping experts. cannot be oper-
ated economically. This statement ID
