WAR VETERAN PILOTS OURANT OVER THE
 SN0QUAL0N|E PASS

With Colonel Ralph J. Faneuf, vet eran of three wars, at the wheel, Durant Four touring car was the first automobile to go over Snoqualmie Pass for the season of 1922. The trip from Yakima to Seattle, Wash ington, was made by the Durant with apparent ease according to members of the party who accompanied Colonel Fanuef on his trip through the snow bound passway. The two official ob- servers in the party were Mrs. Musa Brodie, Yakima, representative of the Automobile Club of Western Wash ington and Miss Betty Bardfield, also of Yakima.
 The first part of the trip as far as Lake Keechelus, was made in good time on account of the fair condition of the road. But from the lake over the summit and as far as Denny Creek ,the durability of the sturdy Durant was proven. The first car to cross through this pass is always ad- mired by the many inhabitants of that wild and rugged mountain section of Washington, and today the Durant is the car looked upon as the conquerer of the elements.
 At the showrooms of the :Dulmage Motor Company in Seattle, the Durant that made the record run is attracting universal attention from the motoring public. "The many questions asked regarding the road and various incl dents of the trip show that the people are interested in the latest product of w. c. Durant," states Colonel Faneuf, who drove the entire trip in making the record run.
 "It reminded me of crossing the rice padies of the Phillipine Islands, Col onel Faneuf told press representa- tive, "when crossed the soft snow that was plentiful in certain sections of the route." Colonel Faneuf served in the Spanish-American War as a member of Pennsylvania regiment and took part in the Phillipine insur- rection. In the World War he com manded the 143d Field Artillery in the A. k. F.
 Colonel Feneuf tested many cars of higher price than the Durant while a member of the overseas contingent, but says none of them equal 'Durant for power and speed when necessary. The wonderful pickup of the Durant on the recent mountain trip was an outstanding feature of the car. Both Mrs. Brodie and Miss Bradfield are equally loud in their praises of the Durant automobile

AUTO TAX BILL IS OPPOSED AT
 LATE HEARINGS

The proposed federal tax bill aimed to prevent automobile thefts, intro duced into congress by the Hon. Og- den L. Mills at the request of state and federal prosecuting officers, met with considerable opposition at the hearing before the ways and means committee in Washington recently.
 The measure is designed to cut down wholesale motor car thefts by requir- ing that each car be stamped with a federal registration number: at cost of $2 to the owner. As a revenue getter it would produce approxi- mately $26,000,000 the first year and $6,000,000 for each succeeding year.
 Joab H. Banton, district attorney of New York county, speaking for the bill declared it would be the greatest deterrent of bootlegging and major crimes, which, he said, are facilitated by the use of the automobile.
 '"In New York City," said MT. Ban ming, "in 1921 there were 680S auto mobiles stolen and in 1920 there were 5129, or about $6,0O0,000 worth of cars. This bill would have prevented that loss. There are today in New York City automobile firms that make it regular business to manipulate stolen cars so that they will not be identified. A machine is stolen today and tomorrow you would not recognize it. The engines and bodies are chang ed, numbers scratched out and every Identification mark is erased from the car as it was originally.
 Members of the committee sought to establish the fact that the entire matter could be handled by the states, but MT. aBnton said it would be im- possible for state law to reach the offenders. The automobile crooks, he said, have ready market for the machine knowing that the state laws cannot reach them. If federal law was passed under which it was pos sible to prosecute those having ma chimes whose identification marks are mutilated, the market for stolen cars would be eliminated, he asserted.
 Letters were received by the com mittee urging the passage of the bill.

BRIGHT FUTURE
 IN STORE FOR
 EXPORT TRADE

From what seems to be the con Sensus of opinion in export depart , ment circles of the large automobile and tire manufacturers things look reasonably bright for the future.
 Although international exchange and credit are, of course, uncertain, the world in general is setting down to the normal pursuits of peace, while it is evident that the field for the motor vehicle, even in remote regions, is becoming wider every day.
 In Shanghai, for instance, the city government has just permitted the in cursion of a motor bus line, the first ever known in China. The chassis are of American make, the body and trailers being built in Shanghai.
 Russia very evidently is receding from her position of isolation and much merchandise is finding it's way there from European countries. Per haps the time is not far distant when America will re-establish relations, thinks a well-known car export man. ager.
 South America offers vast and virgin field, while Mexico is said to be in better condition than at any time for many years.
 All in all the automobile field ap- pears to have good reason for opti- mism in future exoprt prospects.
 Most cars of the first automobile show of 1900 were "one-lungers"- had only one cylinder.
Mohave County miner and our mineral wealth., 1922-06-16

Nothing, it is felt, has had more to do with the popularity of closed cars as much as the reduced prices. In 1914, when only l0,809 closed cars were manufactured, the valuation was $21 ,S33 ,000, whereas in 1919, with a production of 156,32S closed cars, the valuation was $200,015,000. This shows decrease from $2,1S3 in 1914 to $1,282 in 1919.
 The lower-priced lines have shown the greatest percentage of increase in the building of closed cars.

British However, Term Soviet Reply Every Stupid'' Think It Will Delay Giving of Aid
Confiscation of Russ Note Will Not Be Taken Up Until TOmOrrOW-France Stubborn.

Genoa, May 12. - (By Associated | Press) )-May 12-A statement of the British view on the Russian reply to the allied memorandum issued this afternoon terms the document "very stupid from the viewpoint of Russian interests" but says Great Britain is not prepared 10 adopt the view that Europe is to be denied peace or the Russian people further consideration in their misery simply because of a stupid argument.
 Help Will Be Delayed
 AS far as Russia is concerned" adds the statement. "help will un- doubtedy be delayed and rendered more difficult, but that is an affair of the Russian government. We are quite prepared to go into the sugges- ton that the questions of credits, debts and private property be referr- cd to a mixed commission which will study them in detail and report al- though this means that Russia will have to wait some time longer for credits"
 Action Is Delayed
 The economic conference sub conn., mission on Russian affairs this after noon postponed consideration of the Russian reply to the allied memoran- dunn until II o'clock tomorrow mrn- ing.
 Foreign Minister Benes of Czecho- Slovakia, speaking in the name of the little entente, expressed the opinion today that the conference must be ad- iourncd within few days accepting the French proposal to appoint an in- ternational committee of experts on which Russia would not be represented to consider financial problems, This must be done, he said, in such way as to adoid resentment in order not to embitter the European situation,
 A spokesman for the Italian dcleEa- ton said Italy was favorable to the appointment of a mixed commission of experts but considered it would be useless to name such a commission unless the Russians were represented on it. Meanwhile, according to the Italian viewpoint the conference should continue it's discussion on clause IT, of the allied memorandum (regarding the Russian claims for damages) and also on the non-ag- gression pact.
 Truce Is Proposed
 Great Britain has proposed a truce in eastern Europe on the basis of tho de facto frontiers, pending the con- clusons of a commission of inquiry to be appointed, it was announced this afternoon.
 France will never agree to the pro- feet for a mixed commission, sitting indefinitely while the conference is going on to study Russian affairs, &C., ,ording to q statement issued by tho French delegation this noon

DOCTORS OBJECT ID
 SCHOOL BOARD PLAN
Medical Asso. Opposed to Pro-
 posed Health Program
OBJECTIONS VOICED TODAY
Committee Will Ask Commission To Abandon Idea of Full Time Physi- cian-Say Present Plans Are "Im- practical and Impossible"

Because they feel the health and sanitation program before the school committee is Impractical and impos- sible," the New Britain Medical asso- citation has named committee of physicians to appear before the school board this afternoon in protest.
 Committee Appointed.
 Drs M. w. Maloney. J. l.. Kelly, G. w. Dunn and Carl J. Hart are members of the committee named by the doctors to register their obiec- tions to an attempt to carry through the program, the principal item of which is the doing away with the present system of school examination by three doctors and the hiring of one physician for full-time to care for all examinations.
 At a recent meeting of the Medi- cal association, it became known to- day. a copy of the school committees program, as drafted by the commit tee on health and sanitation. was read. Objections were made to many proposals. The generally expressed belief was that the plans of the com mittee were too elaborate for the school committee to handle and that turned over to the health board.
 Failure Elsewhere.
 One of the physicians present told his colleagues that the medical in- spector in Bridgeport, where the one man system is in force. has branded the work as impractical" He as- serted according to the local doctor, that it is not physically possible for a single doctor to handle all school greatest efficiency and economy would come through the system used in this city.
 It is the school boards plan to engage a full-time physician, paying salary of about $2,5O0 a year. Under the present system, s135 month is expended op the combined salaries of the three inspectors. who are Drs. A. J. Savard, George H. Dalton and James H. Faulkner.
 The school board also has received a proposal for a program of eye, ear and nose inspections by specialist It being calculated to secure the serv- Ices of such a p,/' ,lcian. gratis. The doctors were 8, Lost unanimous in their opinion that they are called upon already for as much charity work as they can afford to do, and they doubted if the school committee could secure the service of a doctor without pay.
 Physicians Objection.
 The drafting of an extensive health schedule by board the members of which, in the main. are laymen with ,ut medical training, eeme In for 'ounds of criticism at the medical as- session. It is said they were in favor of shifting the for school sanitation md health to the health board of | which several members are doctors.
 At this afternoons meeting, the | committee will submit several pro- ! ,osed amendments to the program low before the health board, request ng a continuance of the present sys- em of inspections and asking that he health board be placed in charge ,f such matters.
