Naval Attacha Finds Street cars Propelled hv Dodge

small sDaedv street cars run Inv DodPa Brothers motors are helninp tn solve the street railway nrChlarn n Port bu Prirce, capital of Haiti. Hammered ns thev arc bv nolitical trnnhies and forces of Occunatian in their treatment of tho transnortation problem the Haitians have outstenned many cities more advantaenousIv sit nhfae. Interasting nhotnoranhs of the novel street cars were hrouoht hack bv Edward uenl,al who visited Haiti recently on board the U. s. s. Henderson
 For the neriOd of the last six or eight reUublics. as they figure time in Haiti, railroads and street cars there have been operated bv the Haitian American Suear Comnanv. For many years large sums of money have been sduandered annually in the un,-ecn of ancient steam locomotives. which consumed fahrlous quantities of coal in their short trips.
 An economical solution was finally reached hv the railroad superintend. ent with the heln of Anton Knaer Dodge Brothers dealer in Port An Prince. With a Dodge Brothers chas- sis as beeinnine. a comnlete street railway coach was built. The gearing from the original rear axle to tho 32- inch locomotive wheels which drive the car was greatly reduced so that the sprockets on driving axle and driving wheels were equal in size. Tn this way the power which could be applied was greatly increased.
 With total weight Of 725O pounds the chassis could now be sped up to forty miles an hour without over heating the motor. On this chassis complete street car was construct ca. and the completed job Is now making regular trips on the streets of Port Au Prince.
 So successful has the venture prov en that the Haitian American Sugar Company contemplates adding three or four more street cars on Dodge Brothers chassis, and similar jobs to haul sugar out of their plantations.

ever, the development of the steamer ceased about 1886 and was not again taken up until in 1894, when the real period of automobile development was started. In 1895 George Selden was granted a patent covering the novel idea of internal combustion as applied to an engine and there soon sprang into existence the various units commonly known today in the gasoline vehicle.
 Auto Now Luxury
 With the development of the motive power plants in automobiles there come the coach builders art, and step by step the automobile has become an equipage of comfort and luxury as we'll as of speed and reliability In the last few years, automobile manu- lecturers have vied with each other to produce quality in motor coach design and construction, while at the same time making an effort by means of enlarged production and distribu- tion to hold the price down. This has resulted in many fine examples of closed vehicles to ue seen on the streets and highways of today.
 The latest creation in moderate priced automobile coaches to make it's appearance on the market is the Essex coach, the product of Essex Motors of Detroit. The body is built in special body plant and the coach is now being manufactured on a big production basis which operates to the advantage of the purchaser by making possible a low price, the coach selling for $1645, delivered here.
 A description of it's beauty, ease of handling, luxuriousness and utility would be hard to give, so compete in every detail does it seem. Suffice it to say, however, that no handsomer motor coach in point of design has been produced as yet at whatever price and the general all-round ex-

Dirty Motor Will
 Cause Difficulty
 in Getting Started

Many motorists are having trouble these cold mornings in starting their cars. Regardless Of how much cover" they use to fight off the chilly air of the night, they find them selves squarely up against Oid Man Trouble and their engine is stiff and hard to turn over.
 The continual use of the battery in turning over the engine on cold morn lngs is expensive. It. destroys it's power and soon it will need recharg- ing and repairs.
 w. c. Grubb, of the Western Vul- canizing Co, advises motorists to con- slider their engine oil. Many car owners are using the same graue or lubricant they used in warm weather. They have not followed recommends tlons for change to a lighter oil Tn winter, and consequently, the heavier oil when cold is very stiff and if makes starting a problem.
 My advice to the motorists, if he has not already done so," says Mir. Grubb, lis to consu.c the chart of recommendations and use that grade or lubricant that is specified for win ter use. Too, it would be wise to clean the old, dirty oil from the crank case before pouring Tn the lighter lubricant. This will insure a clean motor, and will add to the efficiency Of the engine in producing power and ease of starting."

 The history of transportation is al- most as old as man himself. At least. since man became to any extent civ liked, he made use of various crude inventions which served the purpose of transporting objects. We read these days of the first efforts made by man to facilitate the movement of the things he wished to move, and step by step we can trace the vari. ous improvements and inventions. made by the human race along the lines of better transportation
 In Egypt the earliest recorded evi. dence that methods of transportation were commencing to be thought of were pictures of sledges inscribed on the monuments. It is thoueht that for the purpose nf moving the great blocks of which the pyramids are con- structed rollers were used. and pos- sibly a combination of rollers and sledges. Later the trunks of large trees were sawed crosswise and these dies used for wheels. being connect ed by the small trunk of a tree to serve as an axle. Later, smokes were invented to displace the solid wheel.

 Vehicles were drawn bv animals very soon after the horse and OK were domesticated. according to authorities On the subject. With cae use of the horse came the chariot The chariot underwent many changes. most of which were calculated to give it easier riding qualities and greater ,encur- ance under stress of sueed.

Easy Divorce at Alexandria.

Easy Divorce at Alexandria.
II the divorce industry Is flour
ishing at Alexandria, Va. In the
fashion indicated by recent re-
ports the request that the Old
Dominion Legislature look into
the matter is warranted. Accord
ing to a statement made public
In Washington, 557 divorces were
granted in 1921 to persons who
swore that they were bona fide
residents Of q years standing in
Alexandra. ~
The populations Of Alexandria at
the last census was 1S,060. There
fore there was an average Of
one divorce to every thirty-two
men, women and children In the,
community. This would be at
the rate approximately Of one
divorce to every six families in
the town. 7

This of course is preposterous.
As matter Of fact, many Of the

took steps to establish q, legal
residence, in Alexandria merely
for the purpose Of breaking their

divorce records themselves. Ac-
cording to these records. 900 per

dria in which there are only SLY
bedchambers. This was the sworn
statement Of the woman who
kept the lodging house. Her afS
fidavit was accepted by the court
as evidence Of bona fide resi-!
dence.
It is no wonder that the Alex
andria Bar Association has taken
the matter up and Is seeking to
end the scandal Of a divorce mill
right in the outskirts of the na-
tional capital. That the State Of
Virginia will tolerate the contin-
uance Of such a condition Is not
likely.

Germany.

globe during the last year, but he
said the movement had made tre-
mendous strides in Germany, and
predicted that the next few months
would bring surprising happenings
in that country.

progress has been made toward the

list leaders and their followers have

movement had lost ground in Eng.
land.
Zinoyieff was similarly pessimistic
as to communist changes in Hun

position of the movement in Italy
was discouraging. But optimistic re-
ports have been received from Japan
and also India, he declared. Great
results already have been achieved in

WIDE SPREAD, OF CORN soRER
IN FOUR NEW ENGLAND STATES

Fourteen townships in the Merri-
mack Valley of New Hampshire were
newly invaded this year by the Euro
pean corn borer, which has been a
destructive pest for the last five
years along the Atlantic coast of the
New England States. Reports of the
field representatives of the Bureau
Department of Agriculture indicate
that Nashua, Hudson, Bedford, Con-
cord. Merrimack, Manchester, Hook
sett, Litchfield, Londonderry, Canter-
bury, Boscawen. Franklin, Bow. and
Hill are affected. The corn borer is
also established in Massachusetts as
far west as Lancaster, Clinton,
Shrewbury, and Worcester. It's new
area extends into Maine as far up
the coast as Saco, and through three
townships of Rhode Island near Prov
idence.
On October 10 the commissioner of
agriculture of Massachusetts,, A. w.
Gilbert conducted a party of State
and Federal legislators and entomol-
ogists over the most heavily infested
area with the idea of securing addi-
tional funds for the purpose of COM
batting the corn borer in these heavily
infested weed and garden districts.
At the present time available funds
are insufficient TO stop the further
