GREAT INCREASES IN 'REO' EXPORTS
Foreign Lands Find Many Uses For America
 Motor Cars

As Interesting as a chapter from the diary of globe trotter Is re- sume of the uses Rec vehicles are serving in foreign lands,
 In a score of countries in every part of the world Rec passenger cars tasks that seem unique to American motorists, according to a statement just released by the export depart ment of the Reo Motor Car company of Lansing.
 Between tho lines of this summary explaining why Rec exports increased 400 per cent over the preceding 12 months, there lies a story of phe- nomenal dependability and versatility. For In most of the countries the ve- hicles operate hundreds of miles rom service stations. and over roads in- tended for native animals.
 In Australia speed wagons are used for the 'Shearers' Express, carry!ns bands of wool shearers through the wool producing sections when the seasonal clip Is ready. These move from station to station until the sheep that have grazed over thousands of square miles have been shorn. In many cases the station owners also use speed wagons for carrying the clip to markets hundreds of miles distant.
 Part of Australia remote from mail service are served by speed wagons Carrying the mail regularly. under contract. In some instances speed wagons have replaced costly eight cylindered chassis for this work, par ticularly where roads are bad.
 Rec has established five direct fac- tory distributors in Australia. Sales and service facilities are now found at each of the capitals in the country.
 In Argentine Rec has an alert dealer body, and the Rec passenger cars are popular in the interior. In Buenos Aires speed wagon passenger busses afford American visitors re- hinder of their home conveniences in transportation.
 American travellers in the Near East are familiar wit hthe cross East are familiar with the cross eastern Mediterranean territory, which is made possible by Rec pas senger car stability. A large number of the cars are used there. Rec serv- ice from Beirut to Jerusalem Is par ticularly well known.
 Reos arc found in many more out of the way places such as the Canary Islands, off the. western coast Of Africa, at Tahiti, in the south Pa cific, at New Britain, off the coast of New Guinea, and at Angora, the capital of Turkish nationalist govern ment.

 Every one knows stories of his pleasing little attentions to his wife. Now, when he was governor of Ohio, Mir. Mckinley brought his wife with him to Columbus. They occupied rooms on the second floor of the old Neil House, just across the street from the state capitol. Every morn ing at o'clock Governor Mckinley left his hotel, and, reaching the curb, returned and raised his hat toward one of the windows of his apartment. A handkerchief fluttered between the curtains. Across the street and in the state house grounds Mckinley turned again and bowed; again the handkerchief answered him. The same little observance took place just before the governor disappeared through the state house door.
 This was a daily ritual with Mo Kinley, but some observant persons noticed that this pleasing little ex- change of salutations occurred even on days when Mrs. Mckinley was known to be in her home at Canton and none but a maid could have been In the apartment."-New York Times.
