Use Parts Made by
Car Manufacturers

The recent results Of long series
of tests in automobile manufacturers
laboratories indicate the danger to
owners in using anything but genuine
parts in such service requirements as
may be necessary.
For example: in Dodge Brothers
laboratory at Detroit a test was re-
Gently applied to rear axle shafts. The
genuine Dodge Brothers axle shaft
withstood six complete turns in the
test for torsion strength. while the
best of several counterfeit shafts with
stood only ia turns. In testing steer
ing knuckle bolts-the genuine bolts
bent double without breaking when
put under given pressure. When the
same pressure was applied to counter
felt bolts. they snapped without eXcep-
ton showing brittleness and defective
core.
In the opinion Of the Gardiner Motor
Co.. local Dodge Brothers dealer. such
tests show very plainly why 1t is the
best policy for motorists to depend
upon service stations approved by the
factory building their car, for any SER
vice parts that may be required for
such replacement work Is may be nee
essary. 1t is only here that parts can
be guaranteed as being genuine parts.
AUTO NOTICE
With the fading snow drifts, motor
lists are beginning to wear smiles
again. While many accessories. and
tires are going up in price. Fifield
Bros. Co., the pioneer auto accessory
supply house. are holding down as far
as possible. This is particularly true
on Norwalk tires, which they are now
selling at less than where they were n
month ago. Norwalks are running
better than ever and the broad guar
antee of satisfaction which Fifield
Bros. Co, puts on all merchandise. as
we'll as that Of the Norwalk Co, holds
true as ever.

Keeping the National Capital before

point Is the purpose Of a movement
to advertise Washington which has
been inaugurated by the Advertising
Club of Washington. All local civic
organizations will be asked to Join In
the campaign.
In announcing the proposal the club
pointed out that while the number OF
tourists here yearly is large, the per-
centage Is comparatively small to the
total number Of travellers who fail
to include Washington in their itin-
eraries. The club expressed the be-
lief that the idea Of SELLING" Wash
ington will bring big results to the
Capital city.
AT the regular weekly luncheon Of
the Ad Club to be held at the City
Club tomorrow the matter will be
thrashed out. Definite recommended
tions will be received and discussed
and ways and means for carrying on the
campaign will be outlined.

MAY Day IGNORED

SamueIG ompers, Discussing
Probable Turmoil Abroad,

Samuel Gompers. president OF the
American Federation Of Labor, COM
menting on the significance Of May
day. which is expected to be marked
today by labor demonstrations in
many parts of the world, particular
ly in Europe, where trouble .s looked
for from the reds. said yesterday. In
a formal statement, that the day
means nothing more to the Ameri-
can workers than 1t does to any other
American"
due to the propaganda Of revolu-
tionary European organizations" he
said, there has grown up q consider
able belief that May is u day Of sin
lister possibilities.
Without European Meaning.
ITO American labor May day has
none OF the European meaning. IT Is
exactly like any otl er DAY. May day
means nothing more to american
workers than it does to any other
Americans. To all of US IL Is a day
on which. If opportunity offers there
may be amusements OF more or less
sentimental character. but ASIDE from
that we mark il down on our calen-

day as a day particularly set aside
fo- labor European labor observes
May day. The day is observed with
particular entf usias.a by the more
revolutionary labor organizations or
Europe. In no country. SO fsr as
know. IS May day a legal holiday
"One OF the differences between
American labor and European labor
is that American labor has sufficiently
won the attention and the respect OF
the people to secure for itself spe-
cial holiday, so declared by act OF
Congress and Of the several states
American labors holiday, the nrst
Monday in September of each year,
is generally observed by all our peo-
ple. 1t has no other holiday and
seeks no other except those holidays
which IT enjoys in common with all
our people and in kindred spirit
L. 8. Labor Constructive.
American labor Is evolutionary
and constructive. 1t is not revolu-
tionary and il declines TO adopt any

ITO those who expect to brlnS
about the revolution In a DAY, May
day is as good as any other, particu-
larly il II does not rain.
Socialists in America have set
about with more or less diligence TO
induce American labor to join in May

international News Service.

Agriculture in 1922 recovered
from its lethargy sufficiently to ex-
coed the production Of the previous
year by more than $4,000 900, 900,
according to completed figures Of
the Agricultural Department.
Farm production last year had a
gross farm value Of $14,310, 900, 900,
against a 1921 gross value of .$12.-
400 900 900, the statistics show. The
total for 1922 was made up Of 3d..
961 100000 for crops and $5,S49,-
100000 for animal products. In
1921 crops were valued at $685.
600 900 and animal products at $5S
46S ZOO, 900.
During the last year crop prices
increased except In the case Of
nearly all fruits, beetS, clover seed,
rye, potatoes, sweet potatoes and
some other vegetables. General de-
clines took place in prices OF ami
Veals, milk cows and other cattle
raised, horses and mules, all dairy
products, eggs and poultry. except
turkeys. Prices Of sheep. lambs
and swine increased, while wool
prices were nearly doubled.
A ten years study by the depart.
ment Of production and prices
SHOWS the crop value in 1922 was
per cent higher than in 1913.
The peak was reached in 1919, with
a crop value Of 1852 per cent higher
than in 1913. In 1920 crop prices
were only 78 per cent above 1918.
and in 1921 only 1S per cent above
1913. Despite the increase in 1922,
however, the crop value remains
lower than in any year since 1915,
with the exception OF 1921.
Animal products Jagged behind
crop values during the ten-year
period and show less nuctuation.
The peak was reached in 1919,
when an increase OF 125 per cent
over 1913 was recorded. The sub.
sequent decline in values Of animal
PRODUCTS was less precipitous than
n the case Of crop values, but the
922 figure shows an increase Of
only a per cent above 1913 as
compared with an increase Of &c
per cent in crop value.
The purchasing power Of the 1922
crop value in terms Of other prod
ucts, the department said, was S9.9
as compared with 100 in 1918. The
power Of the 1921 crop
value was 1913 as compared with
100 in 1918. The purchasing power
Of animal products in 1924 was
