Says Europe Should Refrain from
 Giving America Advice

PARIS. July 1f.-"America knows it's own business best, can judge for itself whether or not it will join the League of Nations. and this without any advice from European countries" :" Gabriel Hanotaux. former French Minister of Foreign Affairs, said re- gently to The Associated Press.
 "There is no doubt in my mind that the United States will eventu- ally cooperate more closely in Euro pean affairs, but whether this takes shape in the form of joining the League is a matter for Americans to decide" MT. Hanotaux continued. America is well able to look after it's own affairs. and it is my i'm pression that no blame can be di- rected against Washington from Flu rope because of failure of the Ameri- can senate to ratify the pact of the League of Nations.
 For the present it behooves us to try and settle our own muddled sit uation before attempting to give ad- vice to America" Mir Hanotaux con cluded.

HUNTING PICTURE WILL BE SHOWN AT LYRIC.

When Sidney Snow accompanied his father, H. A. Snow, into the wilds of darkest Africa, the thought that whatever pictures he might take would prove the basis of the greatest and most sensational motion picture ever made, was furthest from his mind. He took along the camera more as a matter of personal en- tertainment than anything else. Two regular camera men accompanied the Shows, but they side-stepped the task soon after landing and the task of making the pictures developed on young Sidney. The wonderful re- suits he attained are embraced in the Universal-Special Hunting Big Game in Africa which will be shown tonight and Thursday at the Lyric Theatre. The picture was the talk of Juneau when shown there last week.

Passengers Can Drink
 On Shipping Board Boats

WASHINGTON, July H. - After considering reports of consumption of private liquor stocks by passengers on government owned ships, the Shipping Board has decided it's authority as exercised through Cap tanis does not extend to interference with the actions of passengers in this respect.
 The inquiry showed many authori- ties on maritime law declaring the long established usage gives Cap- tGins practically limitless authority in suppression of what he considers illegal acts by any person on such ships.

''It must be understood there are certain grades of products that sell for higher prices than those quoted, and other grades that sell at lower prices" says MT. Waddell. but the general standard of prices is just about on the level of 1913.
 Tn 1913 and in 1923 the average cost of hogs was about the same, but since 1913 the cost of manufac- turing live animals into meat has increased materially, as has the cost of distributing the finished product.

Accordingly, WTA9d, the call letters assigned to the Willard station. tested either shortly after midnight or from five to eight o'clock in the morning. As the station was merely testing, 1t used its former amateur call letters, SXG, and asked all who heard the programs to write in as to the quality of their reception.
 Willard officials knew that they would get many such reports but did not anticipate the flood of them which literally poured in from all over the United States and Canada.

DESPITE ITS QUIET LONDONERS FIND CITY TOO NOISY
To Americans English Capital Seems Almost Too &c.,
 rene To Be True

LONDON. oct. 6.-(speciaI.) )-one of the first impressions that obser- want Americans coming from thelr own noisy bustling cities, get or I,ondon is Its serene quiet. Turn orr any of the busiest highways and in a few yards the stiffness of the side streets Is soothing to the ear. one may walk blocks and blocks with out hearing the sounds of a pnono- graph coming from any window ana the curb is almost deserted, automo- piles not being so common as In America. Those that do roll down the streets give warning of their com ing by old-fashioned horns, never so irritating as ear-splittlng sirens. Only in a few offices has the typewriter replaced the pen.
 There is a noticeable absence of children with their noisy games. Ex- cept In the poorer quarters they do not congregate on the sidewalks and streets That is one of the things that isn't done.
 Yet many Londoners think their capital terribly noisy. Of those who loved the easy, jazzless age before the war, some are beginning to com plain of the tide of sound ever ris- ing all around them. Stanley Row land has just protested at length against the crime of noise, in an article in the Nineteenth Century.
  torcycles fret his nerves, jazz music he cannot tolerate. But the growing noises of the home fret him as much as the inevitable racket of the streets, the cafes and dance halls.
 Those MT. Rowland fails with his pen include persons who slam doors Instead of quietly turning the knob, and those who walk with pompous poundings of their shoes. The man who rustles his newspaper with cracking explosions also bothers the ear of MT. Rowland, and so also the man who puts things-books, chairs. anything-down with bang. He loves, or says he does. the quiet and gentle conversationalist, but he ab- hors those who broadcast their every word.
 If noise keeps on breeding noise. the writer declares. the prospect Is pendemonium.

Overland Champion
 Is Farmers Friend
New Closed Model Is Beautiful An-Famiy Car with
 Wonderful Utility Qualifications

At last the farmer has bosn given Q closed car of superior finish inside and outside, that he can utilize for various farm jobs and chores" with the same cheerful abandon as he does his open touring car.
 Thousands of farmers have ex- pressed the opinion that they would gladly use closed cars if they could press them into practical work and get out of them the same afl-around service the touring car provides.
 This has been the farmers winning argument for the touring ear over the closed car for some years and 1t is admittedly a reasonable ono. Prac- hauling of grain and other material of a highly Equitable" nature. A load of bran CT shorts for instance leaves . car resembling the interior of 6 spite every precaution, will persist in creeping out of the bags and scat ter to every corner and crevtce of the car
 the farmer means the haulage of milk cans. live poultry. root crops. cans of kerosene, machinery oil, household supplies, garden tools, in1- plement parts. rolls of belting and a long list of every conceivable sort of nsable material on the farm from wire fencing to an occasional live calf
 No wonder the farmer hesttated to invest his money in a closed car. But HOW the wonder ceases with the ed- vent of the new Overland closed car. Gtttngly named the Champion. for the good and logical reason that st $6s6 1t leads the world in closed car values and champions" the cause of the farmer in every respect.
 This new model. having as many personalities as g South American Chameleon, can proudly claim the dis function of being called "America's s Enesk versatile car~ for in introducing the Champion. Willy-Overland has wucceeded in bringing out something absolutely nevet and radically untoue;

fin fact, a type of motor car that the farmer has long wished fer--and now has It is probably the most extra ordinarily useful car for the farmer that has ever been produced, with an all-steel body built on. 8 standard Overland chassis cradled en the fa- nous Triplex springs and powered with the larger Overland engine Ex- elusive features. utilities and econo- mics mark this model as A remarkably convenient car, warranted to give the utmost in closed car benefits to the farmer.
 In the Champion. the rear seat and upholstery is entirely removable, pro- viding fifty cubic feet of clear carry ing space. Apart from this. both front and rear seats quickly adjust forward and backward. The fronN seat adjusts to three positions so that a tall driver can move it back to drive without leg cramp and short driver can move 1t forward so as to reach the pedals without stretching. The rear seat can be adjusted backward so that rear seat passengers will not be crowded when the front seat is moved back.
 Another clever feature of this car and characteristic of the unusual foresight in design, is the arrange ment of both front and rear seats which with the upholstery can be en- tirely removed and made up into a luxurious bed in the car, occupying the whole length and width of the car. What boon to the farmer and his family who want to spend the night away from homo on @ little hunting tauut.
 But this does not end the many amazing advantages included in the Champion and perhaps the most out standing superiority from the farm CTS viewpoint Is the fifty cubic feet of space obtainable in the car by re- moving the rear seat with the up- holstery. This arrangement leaves an absolutely clear carrying space cap able of real service to the farmer who can load his tools, bags of fodder, produce. and so forth. into tho car

Batteries also will be recharged without charge on opening day. The new Constant Potentiap' system Is used and this machine will charge a battery in one day.
 Another item of interest will be the big sale of tires that Is sure to give the new firm a big send-off, as it is declared that prices for these tires are lower than anything quoted elsewhere.
 Diamtnd tires and Westinghouse batteries will be handled, as will all sorts of accessories and repair ar ticles. A splendid day and night tire and battery service will be main tained and & sufficient number of service cars to meet all require ments.
