GREAT ARMADA
TO ENTERTAIN
WAR VETERANS

SAN FRANCISCO, September 6.
Twelve super-dreadnaughts, one
armored cruiser, thirty-nine, destroy
ers and smaller craft will compose
the great armada which is to be
present in San Francisco during the
American Legion convention, Oe-
tober Is to 10. The presence of
the fleet, is expected to add much
interest to the program fo rthe vi
sitting legionnaires. Admiral r e.
Coontz, commander in-chief of the
fleet, is personally supervising
many of the arranements, in addi-
tion to that of the great naval re-
view.
The fleet s contribution to the
legion show will not be confined to
one days participation. Each
night, the ships will be illuminated,
the q 100 officers and men will
participate in one of the great para
des; and the sailors will contribute
an athletic field day on the water
that will equal anything on land.
Boxing, wrestling, push ball, water
polo, baseball and other sports IN
addition, to boat and swimming
races, will afford entertainment
well worth seeing.
It is expected that vessels or
naval units from several allied
countries will be present during the
convention to participate in the big
naval review, making the spectacle
in San Francisco Bay one of the
most unusual ever seen on the west
coast.

ga pressing need there for foreign
wheat. One ship load of wheat al
ready has been sent from Portland,
Oregon, to alleviate part of this
condition. Shipments of silk and
tea will be handled from other ports
and trade in these commodities prob
ably will remain normal, it was
said. Raw silk still is in demand in
the L. S. but the demand for manu-
factured silk has been slow.
Everything in Confusion
The Hongkong and Shanghai
banking corporation, the first insti-
tuition to announce suspension of
trade rountine, through its foreign
trade manager, believed that it
would be nearly a week before Off
cial confirmation could be received
of reported losses to banks and
whereabouts of banking officials in
Toxic and Yokohama ascertained.
Until this comes about, no business
can be done "because we do not
know whether there is anybody to
look after things. and what things
can be looked after if they were
there to look,' this official said.
The fact that japanese bonds
were quoted Il fraction of point off
in New York the early days of this
week, is to be expected, these bank
ers agreed. 1t is pointed out that
the Japanese government maintains
a sufficient balance of cash and
bonds in New York and London to
strengthen this market and main
tain a basis for further borrowing
The danger of panic in, Japan is
not considered, due to the resources
of foreign banks operating there
and the resources of the japanese
government itself.
1t was agreed that many American
firms may lose money as a result Of
uncompleted contracts, :" but they IL
make it back, for Japan will need
a vast amount of supplies of all
kinds and it will be able to pay. y
That many japanese firms have lost
all, and Others have been hit Sc
verely is known as a matter of
course but is not considered as ere
ating an unduly alarming situation.

NASH SALES MAKE NE w HIGH RECORD

 MCCarty

Sales of Nash cars for the first eight months of 1923 surpass the mark established for the full twelve months of 1922 This announcement by E. Ii. McCarty, general sales manager of the Nash Motors com pany. is supplemented by the state- nent that, following the announce ment ct the new Nash models early in August, de1nand has been far in excess ct IEodUction.
 AS a matter of fact" said MT. Me- Carty the factory was oversold in August 1000 cars and will be over sold to a greater extent in Septem- Der. August eclipsed July in point of sales, a condition that is unusual.
 "The new Nash models in both the four and six-cylinder lines met instant approval on the part of the buying public. Embodying many Improvements and refinements and St no increase over previous prices, these new cars are establishing for Nash motors a new record in public demand and volume of sales. . Reports received by us from deal- CTS on the various state and county fairs held throughout the country since August l tell of public inter est in the Nash line. This interest is confined to no particular sections of the country but Is condition that Is general.
 Every indication points to 6 con tinuance of heavy demand through out the fall period"

 S. Inspect all wiring terminals and connections at least once month. The majority of automobile fire are caused by improper or defective wires and connections All electric wires and cable should be kept dry and clean.

 ?. The principal parts of the igni- ton systems are:
 (a) Magnetic or Generator.
 (b) Batteries.
 (c) Starter.
 (d) Spark plugs.
 (e) Timer.
 (f) Wiring.
 8. Electric current Is supplied to the ignition system either from the generator or batteries. The generator operates and delievers current only when the engine is running; the bat teries can deliver current either when the engine Is running or not. In ordinary running the generator sup plies enough current both to operate the car and keep the batteries well charged with electricity.
 4. The batteries need careful and regular attention.
 (a) In cold weather water should | be added about every 14 days; in summer impurities that are harmful
 (b) Only distilled water should be used; ordinary water may contain impurities that are harmful to the battery)
 l Co If a funnel Is used, it should be one made of glass or rubber Metal tunnels are conductors of electricity and are liable to spoil the batteries.) l (d) In cold weather special care should be taken to keep the battery well charged and full of distilled water. If this is not done, the danger of the battery freezing is increased A complete charged battery whose specific gravity is about f.275 freezes 1 al gravity is 1,150, the battery will freeze at 20 degrees above zero.
 (e) The batteries should be we'll covered and protected to prevent tools, chains, or other articles from falling on and short circuitinK the battery terminals.
 5. The starter Is an electric motor which takes current from the bat teries and turns over the engine for starting When the engine starts, the starter is disengaged from the engine automatically. Releasing the starter button brings the starting motor to a stop.
 6. Spark plugs should not be screwed into the cylinder head too tight; they expand when heated and have been known to crack the cylinder.
 (a) Spark plugs should be kept clean, otherwise the engine may start hard, miss, or lack power
 (b) Handle spark plugs carefully. A crack in the porcelain weakens the compression, permits leakage of the electric current, and completely spells spark plug.
 Co The gap between the points in a spark plug should be about the thickness of a thin dime.

when Dock Commissioner Delaney rec

In connection with the dispute a let
