i. J. Cole Returns From
Three Months Visit in
Europe.

j. J. Cole, president of the Cole Mo
tor Cal company of Indianapolis, has
just returned from an extended tour
through Europe. where he visited most
OF the large cities. His trip was pri-
marily for pleasure, but a certain
amount of business developed because
of the popularity of the Cole $50 in
foreign countries.
THE most valuable feature of our
trip was, l think, the extreme satisfac-
ton of getting back to this country
said MIR. Cole. IF you want to appre-
clate America l would recommend a
few months abroad.
American Cars Abroad
While l have been in this country
only a few days. the decided improve
ment in business conditions is unmis-
taxable. In the last three months
this country has gone a long way to-
ward recovery.
Abroad you see American built cars
everywhere. In Greece, for instance,
the majority of automobiles carry
American Municipalities. We saw Cad
illacs, and Dodges galore. Marmon,
Stutz. Nationals and Coles were also
very much in evidence.
I'm France, for instance. it is now
next to impossible to sell American
built cars due both to the high duty
and to the reluctance of French me-
chanics to give service on foreign built
cars-evidently they are trying to re-
build french industry as there is a

Melbourne Station
Busiest in World,
Say Railway Men

Sydney, n. w. s. Correspondence
switch engines passed through the Mel
bourne central station is the busiest
railroad terminal in the world, accord
ing to the contention advanced by the
Victoria railway authorities. who CON
tend that more trains are handled
there daily than at any of the other
large stations.
In 1913 a count showed that 1877
passenger, ia freight trains. and 176
switch engines passed thorugh the Mel
bourne station and recent electrified
ton has raised the total number of
trains to 1900 daily. These carry at
lease 100000 passengers. it is said.
Prior to the war, the Liverpool
street station in London was regarded
as the busiest in the world. with 1890
passenger trains. carrying between
100000 and 10000 persons daily.
The Victorian authorities contend
that the Melbourne station handles
more trains and more passengers than
the st. I.uzare station in France. the
South Boston station in Boston or the
Grand Central terminal in New York
City.

SELECT BICYCLE
TO FIT YOUR own
BODY REQUIREMENTS
Riding May Then Be Made
Great Pleasure, Says
st. Onge.

Fred st. Onge, Americas foremost
exponent of bicycle riding, gives some
valuable advice on choosing, equipping
y adjusting a bicycle.
In the selection of a bicycle, he
states, whether the rider is choosing
his first bicycle or is a seasoned user
of this highly beneficial vehicle and has
owned several wheels. he should exer-
else the greatest care in making sure
the bicycle he finally picks out is one
in every way fitted to his Tor herr
individual physical requirements.
A bicycle with a frame too high or
too low for the riders stature, or one
that is geared too high. or one whose
saddle or mndlebars are sadly in need
of adjustment. naturally results in an
awkward and uncomfortable riding
posture and .detracts greatly from the
otherwise perfect pleasure Of bicycling.
Adjust Saddle Level With Hips
1t must be borne in mind that the
only motive or driving power that
manipulates a bicycle is that of the
legs and feet. This power therefore
should be conserved and made to pro-
duce maximum results from minimum
effort.
TO get the proper height. says st.
Onge, the rider should stand beside

Chinese Students
Try to Keep Fresh
in Homeland Tongue

Chicago, .-(Correspondence Of the
Associated Press.)--Chinese students
in America say that frequently on re-
turning to their own country they find
that after sleeping themselves in Oc-
cidental scholarship they are rusty on
the intricate and extensive lore OF
China. Indeed, they report sometimes
meeting with the taunt from men who
have studied in Japan rather than in
America, You cannot write your name
in Chinese" Students at the Univer-
sity of Chicago, however, have found
a way Of keeping fresh their familiarity
with Oriental literature. They come
to a Chicago library to read Of China.
The Newberry library possesses
about 10000 volumes Of Chinese, jap
anese, Monaghan and Thibetan liter
ature, history and philosophy. Several
Chinese students at the University of
Chicago, library officials say, have
systematically and regularly consulted

FEWER ACCIDENTS
To CYCLISTS THAN
To AUTOMOBILES
Statistics Gathered in COnnec-
ticut Disprove Impression
That Motoring Is Safest.

There is an impression in the public
mind that there is a large number of
accidents to users of bicycles on the
streets and highways of the nation.
A recent investigation of the state
of Connection. however. would seem
to disprove this theory. There perhaps
are as many bicycles in Connecticut
as in any other area of equal size.
With the Connecticut figures as a
basis. therefore. it will be shown that
there are fewer accidents to bicyclists
than to any other group Of vehicle
drivers. based upon the analysis of
accidents per thousand vehicles.
Figures Compared
The figures compiled by the motor
vehicle department of Connecticut show
a total registration of $4,000 motor
vehicles and the number of bicycles
ridden is estimated at 10000. Accord
ing to official statistics. the ratio of
the number of bicycles per one fatality
to operator is:
Bicycles. one in 5000.
Motor vehicles, passenger cars, one
in 5000.
Motor vehicles, commercial cars, one
in 6003.
Ratio for number of vehicles to one
fatality to occupants, operators, pas
sengers. one in 1885.
The Bicycle Manufacturers associ-
alton has gon on record as desiring to
operate with motor vehicle depart
of the various states in minimiZ-
ing and avoiding accidents on the high
ways to bicycle riders. and these
statistics show that few accidents oc-
cur to riders between the ages of 10
to IS. In fact. records show only three
in one year
instructions to BicyciIsts
The Bicycle Manufacturers assOci-
alton. in furtherance of its desire to
reduce accidents to the minimum. has
recommended to all dealers that, when
a sale of a bicycle is made. they in
struct the purchaser as to the laws of
the highways and also has recommend
ed that each manufacturer insert in
its catalogues and all printed matter
the following:
1.-The bicycle is a vehicle and
therefore entitled to the same rights
and privileges on the highways enjoyed
by horse-drawn vehicles or automobiles.
2.-Observe the laws governing the
use of highways.
3.-Never ride on the wrong side
of the road.
4.-Do not hitch on" to a vehicle.
5.-Equip your bicycle with a bell
or other warning device.
Use lamps at night for your
own protection.

Oakland Now Gives
Universal Flat Rate
Charges for Service

The Oakland Motor Car company is
putting into effect as quickly as pos
sible it's new plan of universal flat
rate charges for service.
Already the majority or its branches.
distributors and dealers have put into
effect this plan of set charges for prac-
tically every repair job that may be
required on an Oakland car. This spe-
cialization on a piece rate basis is do
ing away with the complaint frequently
heard from motorists that they never
have any idea what a specific repair
will cost until after the job is com
pleted. This has resulted in much dis
satisfaction with the system nov gen.
orally in vogue.
Another feature of service worked
out by the Oakland Motor Car COM
pany is the training of mechanics in a
special school at the factory at Pom
tiac. These mechanics 60 back to the
branches and distributors and in turn
open schools for the training of service
men for Oakland dealers.

cation announces figures that show the

from 81 to $93.S0 a week, with an
average of $50.
Although emigration has not caused
any serious shortage of labor in the
home parishes in Finland. some efforts
are being made to check it and to offer
some inducements to departed emf
grants who may wish to return to Fin
land. Among the inducements held out
are exemption from taxation and the
guaranteeing of lands at home. 1t is
estimated that since the war Finnish
emgirants have sent home 20,OOO,O 900
marks. A Finnish mark is normally
worth SO.193.
The federal labor bureau in Germany
has decreed that foreign laborers shall
be employed only when absolutely
necessary and when German workmen
cannot be procured. The designation
Foreigners applies to all persons who
are not citizens of Germany. including
all prisoners of war. who, since their
release, have been residing in Germany.
1t is said that the changing condition
of the labor market and the increasing
number Of unemployed persons make
the above policy necessary.
American railroad operation last year
resulted in the accidental death of
5.5S7 persons, and the injury. more or
less serious, of 1924, according to the
interstate commission. This
is a reduction from the year 1920,
which reported 6,495 persons were ac-
cidentally injured. As in former years,
a large proportion of the victims were
trespassers on railroad property. 2,432
of the dead and 1880 of the injured
being so classified.
\ total dividend of profit amounting
to $1,000 has recently been shared
equitably by employer and employee in
the textile trade in West England.
This profit sharing plan is the result
of cooperation between employer and
reduction for a six-mOnth period. en-
abling the employer to make a profit
on his output. The mutual pledge of
cooperation included a promise on the
part of the employer to share the
profits of the business with his en-
ployes. The result was that a dividend
on profit was declared upon every S.
earned by the workers.
The New York board of mediation
and arbitration, which recorded the
number of man-days lost by all wage
earners because of strikes and lock-
outs for the period of 10 years from
1904 to 1911 shows that the number
of working days in the year lost by all
workers on account of labor disputes
is a little less than one out of every
100 work-days and these figures are
regarded as representative of the gen
eral situation in other states. During
this same 10-year period in the great
industrial state of New York of the
20 per cent of it's workmen unem-
ployed less than one per cent vas due
to industrial disputes, IL per cent due
to disability and over 10 per cent due
to lack of work.

Nash Heat Treating
Process Is Exact

Women visitors at the Nash plant
in Kenosha. Wis, frequently marvel at
the similarity of the heat-treating de-
partment to their own kitchens at
home. Metals for use in automobiles
are. as a matter of fact, heat-treated
in electric ovens, much the same as
bread or biscuits are baked.
The housewife knows. for instance,
that her dough mixture being perfectly
blended only half the job of making
bread is done. So the dough is put
in containers and placed in an oven.
There the heat must be uniform so
that the baking is thorough. In the
heat-treating department of the Nash
Motors company is a big battery Of
electric furnaces, manned by experts
in the art of baking" metals so that
each part will attain the exact degree
of hardness necessary for it's proper
functioning in it's subsequent use as
a part of the finished automobile.

Raleigh, Feb. 2O.-Loans aggre-
eating Eve and quarter million dol
lars have been approved and made
to North Carolina banks to relieve
the financial stringency in agricul-
tural pursuits by the War Finance
Corporation. declared Col. James r.
Young, chairman of the loan agency
in this State, today.
The loans already made have been
used advantageously, Colonel Young
said, but North Carolina ought to
apply for and place from IL to Is
million more. He pointed out that
other states are taking considerably
more of this money than North Caro-
lima banks, South Carolina having
been allotted 10 millions already and
other applications are being sent in
BY the banks Of that State.
There has been some misunder-
standing in some quarters as to
whether the money was available to
all banks. Colonel Young makesssit
plain that there is virtually NO limit
to the amount of money that may be
obtained by the banks for agrfcul-
tural purposes and this includes
planting, harvesting and marketing
of the crops. Dealing with the govern
ment at any time ordinarily means
that lot of red tape must be cut
but the War Finance Corporation can
be dealt with in a business like man
