In a recent issue of the Oriental
Motors, the automobile trade paper
published in Shanghai. China. in
connection with the first automo-
bile show ever held in China, there
appears the following article re-
rarding the exhibit of the Central
Garage OF Shanghai. Willys-over-
land distributors:
The Centrars display of Over
land models consisted of one stock
coupe and two stock touring cars.
one of which had been repainted
at the Central shops. These cars
attracted much attention from
show visitors. probably because
they appealed to the majority Of
show visitors as old friends.
THE, Overland is one of Shanz-
hafs favorite cars, as is sufficient
ly attested by the number Of them
on the streets. The Overland
-four" is recognized as an IDEAL
car for Shanghai.
The other cars produced in the
big Toledo factory-the willys-
Knight-were well represented in
the show. there being two stock
touring cars, q town car and a
Central built Limousine. All of
these cars were equipped with wire,
wheels and they presented a very
attractive appearance.
-One Of the touring cars was
painted a cream color and ths
other a dark green. with a blue
stripe sncircitng the body.

As a considerable portion OF the

strain the springs. but rack the

NlUpDYNG THE WATER.

The best railroads are beginning to
show a profitable return on their bus
mess. This is due largely, probably,
10 the more efficient management in
cident to private operation II they
had remained in the hands of the
government until this time, there can
be little doubt that they would have
been in a financial condition so hope
less that no amount of good manage
ment could have rescued them
from it.
Mr. NIcAdoo. who was mainly re-
sponsible for the recent sad plight of
the roads. said in an address not long
ago that the railroads were operated
more efficiently under federal than
under private control He laid stress
on the fact that the private managers.
soon after the return OF the roads to
them. had to appeal to the Interstate
commerce commission for aid in
meeting their problems. The state
ment is true. but the way it was pre-
scented by the former direct general
carries an erroneous impression. Mr..
Daniel Willard, president of the Balti-
more & Ohio. in his testimony before
the senate interstate commerce com
mittee. told the whole story. which is
not at all to the discredit OF the rail-
road owners Mr.. McAdoo appears to
be trying to muddy the water.
The transportation act OF 1920 spe-
cifically provides that, in the case OF a
railroad emergency, the interstate
commerce commission may take GER
tain steps to meet the situation. When
the private owners came into possess
sion OF their properties on March 1.
1884, they found about $4,000 eastern
coal cars in the west and about $4,000
surplus box cars in the east. sent there
by the federal railroad administration.
The box cars were needed in the west
for grain movements, and the coal
cars in the cast for the carriage of
fuel In view OF the great industrial
activity at that time, necessitating
heavy demands upon the roads, the
owners found it impossible to cope
with the situation bequeathed to them
by the government. and they took ad-
vantage OF the law provided for just
such emergencies. A car service COM
