Is Territory Manager-For- merIy With Large Florida
 Automobile Company

With the big increase in territory added to the Garth Motor companys s contracts, 1t was necessary to depart mentize the different branches of their increasing business.
 MT. Chain on his past record was brought to Birmingham to take charge of wholesale sales on Gray and Rick enbacker.
 MT. Chain now has two territory men under him actively in the field and anticipates putting on another as soon as he can procure man Of the right caliber, and an additional allotment of cars for territory
 MT. Chafin says We are very proud of our dealer organization, now having AZ or AS dealers and great number of sub-dealers.
 Our representatives are without exception men of high order.
 In selecting representatives in the various localities, character comes first.
 We are at present working on shipping instructions agreed upon with our two factories of 300 Grays per month and 20 Rick enbackers.
 We believe that these two cars carry more advanced engineering principles than any other cars be- fore the public. Gray in the under S1.000 price, and Rickenbacker at any price, and the public acceptance of them is the best evidence of our judgment
 we expect to have some two hun dred odd dealers and associate deal CTS working through our organiza- tion one year hence, giving Gray and Rickenbacker service in practically every locality in our territory.
 Service is our watchword. We know sales follow service"

Tagore, Noted Poet, Declares He Is Disappointed In
 America

CALCUTTA, July 21.-(By Associ- ated Press.)-Sir Rabindranath Ia gore, Bengali poet and 1913 recipient of the Nobel prize for literature, says in an interview that on his last visit to America in 1920 he was greatly selfish, nationalistic spirit which he found, and that he did not intend to visit the country again. With re- gard to. Indian affairs, the poet pre- dicted that the Mohammedans would soon gain supremacy over the Hin dus, bringing India again under Mo hammedan rule.
 Poet Disappointed.
 Tagore was found at his home and school at Shantiniketan (the abode of Peace), which is about four and a half hours by rail from Calcutta. When asked if he intended ever to poet said that while his first visit to America, in 1916. had led him to be- lieve that the United States had be- come so powerful and so advanced in civilization that she would be able to avoid war herself and would also, by economic pressure, be able to pre- vent long conflicts between other na- tions, his last visit had brought only shock and disappointment The coun- try was WI mad, he said, and with out the patience to listen to philoso phers, poets or dreamers.
 T am afraid many of the things I had tc say were unpopular" he added, "because an intehse spirit of nationalism was sweeping America. I am opposed to nationalism in every form. For me every question Is an international one. The press and public men were clamoring for what they called hundred per cent Ameri- canism.' An, but that Is a dangerous pattern" ..
 In answer to questions regarding the future of India, Tagore predicted the conquest of Mohamme edanism over his own religion of Hinduism.

LOSSES IN MEAT THROUGH BRUISED
 STOCK DECREASE
Better Handling Of Cattle Re- sponsibIe For Big
 Saving

CHICAGO. July 21.-CBy Associated Press.)-Of the 12,4S5,3S6 head of cat tie killed in 1922 in ss of the princi- pal markets of this country, 1,4ss,246 , were bruised, but the loss of meat from this cause averaged a half pound & head loss for beef animals killed in 1921, says a report made public by the Illinois Humane so- ciety.
 .tThe reduction shown Is 50 per cent, and Is attributed to the cam paign now on for the better handling of cattle. in transit and in yards says the report.
 "As to losses in transit" the re- port continues, returns from II western markets from which the principal statistics were obtained show there was slight decrease in losses in 1922, as compared with 1921. This is gratifying for the req son that the railroads, on account of strikes and other causes. had a difficult proposition to keep their service at anything like standard in 1921.
 'Tn the bruised meat campaign the figures as to hogs for 1927 do not show up as we'll In 1921 the loss of meat on account of bruises averaged one tenth of pound each hog. This figure was based on returns rom oo markets. However. in 1922, we ex- tended the campaign to cover 6S markets and the estimated loss per hog was figured at a quarter pound It is believed that the increased loss . occurred In the 15 new markets where the campaign to reduce losses had not been in full swing"
 The report concludes: Conditions are again normal and such statistics fo hIt1o tAA hNx marked improvement for 1923 over 1922"

BOYS SIGN PLEDGE, PAY 4 DIME, AND
 SIT M BLEACHERS
Greenwood Rotary Club Sees That Youths Witness Ball
 Games


 Associated Press.) - Greenwood's boys no longer climb trees or raise their voices in protest at decisions of umpires of the Carolina baseball league as seen through knotholes in the fence. "The Keyhole Boys" have moved inside and now do their pro- testing from the first-base line.
 Visions of the days when inability to raise a quarter kept him and his friends from getting more than a stolen glimpse of their favorite team in action brought about formation of the "Knothole Boys club" here by Joel S. Bailey, president of the Der of the local Rotary club. As result the Greenwood Rotary club took up the plan as part of its boys work program.
 For the sum of 10 cents and pre- sentation of a card issued when he signs a pledge, any boy in Greenwood can join the club. The plan is to get park and the results, it Is said, have been so good that the Rotary club Is planning to enlarge the bleacher section assigned to the boys.
 The pledge the boys sign follows:
 T will attend Sunday school every will not use curse words. l will not gamble. I will not lie. I will be honest. I will live clean life. I have read, or had read to me, the above obligation and l promise that l will always try to obey it."
 Membership in the club and attend ance at the ball game does not pre- clude the occasional visits to Gran mas out in the country" or frequent trips to the "old swimmin hole" For the Carolina league teams play only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

 office of Herbert L. Hoover and the ' 'simplified practice division of the department of commerce. the brick Nindustry has been enabled to sweep
 away an infinite variety of odd sizes
 of brick and establish one standard
 size for the seven billion bricks pro- duced every year in the United States, : according to the Common Brick Manufacturer association head quarters here.
 ~. The size is approximately 8 inches
 by 3A inches by 2A inches. The only exception now to be allowed Is lin the case of smooth faced brick 7. for special exterior use, in which avery slight variation In one dimen- ' sion only is permissible.
 The common brick industry estab-
 lished the standard size some years
 ago, but experienced trouble because its standards was not insisted upon for public work by many architects = With the government now defi-
 nitely supporting the industry in it's : efforts to standardze its product 1t IS expected that before long all spe- cifications will call for the standard sized brick, to the great benefit not
 only to the brick industry, but to
 all users of the product.

MEXICALI, Lower California, July 21.-(By Associated Press)-Bids for the construction of 150 miles of rail- road through Lower California by the National Railways of Mexico were opened recently, according to an an nouncement of Jose I. Lugo, military governor of the northern district of Lower California.
 The construction of this railroad, government officials state, will make available more than 100000 acres of farming lands, particularly adapted to cotton, for which water can De oD- 1tained from the abundant flow of x the Colorado river.

 Pioneering Construction.
 This pioneering railroad construc- tion, according to Mexican officials. is the biggest piece of constructive work since the United states built its Alas kan railroad The conditions con tended with are equal in hardships and opposition from nature, but at extremes in their variety.

  This southern operation involves com bat with terrific heat in the summer season, death dealing sand storms miserable chill in other portions of the year, and at all times absence of water or living thing upon which to subsist, except at the shores of the gulf, where water fowl, fish and shell fish abound.
 In addition to opening up farming lands, government officials state, the construction of this railroad will make possible the development of wonderful area of mineral lands, rich in surface showing of gold and silver, heretofore too isolated to permit or profitable operation. It will also bring within the reach of rail trans portation several million acres which have been passed upon by the geol- ogfsts of the Mexican government as potential oil bearing lands, carrying live oil seepage, structure, and oil sands yielding petroleum at surface tests. Mexican Lands.
 The control of all potential and un- occupied oil lands in Mexico has been vested in the National Railways of Mexico by the Mexican government. on the ground, according to an off, ficial published notice, of affording adequate fuel supplies for all of the needs of. the4railroad lines in Mexico. .+ The terminus of the new railroad will be at Port Gonzales, 15O miles south of Mexicali This port has IS feet of water at the shore line, and ships of large tonnage are expected to carry from this port the products from the Imperial valley.
 The railroad enterprise is the first step in a program of colonization and development worked out by Governor Lugo, with the approval of President Oregon The details of the plans being carried out include the estab- lishment of gins and compress at Gonzales for the handling of the cot ton grown on the new lands.

Tt is possible" he said. that Hin duism may be religion of the past before many years. and the inhab- tants of India converted to Islam by force. And who knows but that it might be a good thing for India if the Mohammedans were to overrun 1t again?
 Hinduism is a religion of paci- fism. while the teachings of Moham- med transform even our peaceful Hindus into fanatics with a lust to fight. Even now Mohammedanisn Is spreading rapidly in India. The latest figures show that there are more Mohammedans here in Bengal today than there are Hndus. So, if the government falls into the hands of the Indian people, it probably will mean Mohammedan rule again. But even that would be preferable to the present government, because it would be government by our own kindred"

RUSSIA'S FUTURE IN
 SPECULAT0RS' HANDS
Old Civil Engineer Says That Man
 Who LabOrs Makes Little

PETROGRAD, July 21.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-"Only two profitable e careers are open to Russia's bright young men today, and they are spec ulation or banditry," a bearded old civil engineer told the writer while riding on the train. from Moscow to petrograd the other day.
 This engineer, who occupies an im- portant post with the state railway administration, said that he earned 6 salary which is the equivalent of a speculator and admittedly not over profits, makes fifty times that amount.
 Our salaries are so low in the state service that no ambitious young man, particularly if he is mar red, can reconcile himself to accept ing them. Therefore, to win a for tune or live comfortably, he must tecome one of that hated class in Russia and elsewhere, a speculator. The only other lucrative profession is that of bandit, or hold-up man.
 People who blame the spectators forget that 1t probably will be they, with their quickly secured profits and faculty of taking long chances, who will ultimately build up Russia. It Is not long cry from speculating in merchandise to taking a chance on building a railroad or developing a mine. They are the pioneers, breaking away from old Russian tra- ditions and becoming men of busi- ness. Exactly the same kind of pio- neers or spectators in your Wall Street helped build up America"
