AWE ER|CAN QUAKE RELIEF FUND WELL ABOVE ITS QUOTA
$6,250,o00 Already Re- ported To Red Cross Head
 quarters

WASHINGTON, Sept 1S.--The American Red Cross fund for Jap anese earthquake and fire sufferers tonight exceeded by million and a quarter dollars the original $5,0OO. 900 asked for. The total reported up to D. m. was $6,25O,OOO. with do- nations coming in steadily. Of the six divisions to which the work of collecting funds was allotted four have exceeded their quotas, and the others are making ground rapidly, it was announced at Red Cross head quarters. A check for s600,000 was received from the New York county chapter. bringing the cash received at headquarters up to S3,610,00O. A check for s25,000 from the Knights of Columbus was received by Chair man Barton Payne.
 In letter made public by the Red Cross, General Pershing, who at one time served as military attache in Japan, called on every one in the United States who could do so to contribute something to the fund, declaring the best the country could do would bring but small measure of amelioration of the terrible con ditions.
 This disaster is a world tragedy
  ing to the assistance of their stricken associate" said General Pershing. The United States must not be sur passed in this service of mercy"
 The subscriptions to the fund to date, by divisions, follow;
 Washington, $3,644,0 900; New Eng land, s434,4OO; southern. *151,SoO; central, s1,O0o,OOO; southwestern ss50, O00; Pacific, s5oS,OO0; insular and foreign, $201,500.
 NO MISSIONARIES DIED
 SEWANEE, Tenn, Sept. 13.-Bishop John McKim, senior bishop of the Episcopal church in Japan, has cabled that no lives were lost in the mis- sionary staff, in the recent catas- trophe, but that personal belongings of every worker have been entirely destroyed, as well as church property, estimated at a million dollars in value, consisting of clutches, colleges schools, hospitals and the residences of all workers, both clerical and lay, native and American.
 The woman's auxiliary has been asked to raise s100,000 for immediate relief. The Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Gailor, bishop of Tennessee, and Mrs. l. Loarfng Clark, president of the woman's auxiliary in Tennessee, have wired each parish in the diocese asking immediate action on the ap- peal.
 PRAISE HEROISM OF PAIR
 OSAKA, Sept. 13.-(By Associated Press. )-Refugees are spreading the heroism of r. M. Laffin and his son, of Yokohama When the. disaster was at it's height. when death lurked in every street and pathway, the two obtained a launch and worked un- remittingly transporting hundreds from the flaming waterfront through the fiery sea to the safety of ships.
 A pr. Squires, a New York surgeon, was en route from Kobe to Tokio on the day of the earthquake. He re turned to Kobe with his son and daughter, then volunteered to go to Yokohama. He was taken there. Re- turning from the stricken port with the first relief ship, he performed 4A onerations during the brief voyage.

CAR INDUSTRY
HEALTHY, SAYS
PRES. JEWETT

DETROIT, Mich. March 3.-The
healthy condition of the motor indus
try is reflected by a comparison of
the production and sales OF the Paige
Detroit Motor Car company for the
first two months OF this year with
1922. according to Harry NJ. Jewett
president.
In january and February, 1928. the
sales were $50 percent greater han
the first tvn months of the previous
year. The production, planned in the
expectation of the best possible mar
ket conditions for similar periods WINS
only 2G1 per cent greater. says
Jewett.
As head Of one OF the ten automo-
bile concerns in the United States
which hold the enviable position of
manufacturing 90 percent of the nu-
tomobiles built in the United States,
Jewett believes that the figures OF the
Paige company are representative OF
conditions in general in the industry.
The sales figures from the percent
ages were made up from orders actu.
ally in the factory. 1t can readily
be seen, says Jewett. that II will be
impossible for the Paige and Jewett
cars TO be produced anywhere near
the number needed to fill these
orders.
1--WE expect to go into March np-
p~rox.mately 1000 orders bsh'nd."
says Jewett. I'm anticipation of an
equally large business in March we
have set our schedule for that month
at 4495. or slightly over n thousand
more thar the February schedule.
This tremendous increase in our
business is owed to the Jewett model
which went into quantity production
during tho latter part OF February
last year. The sales OF the Jewett
with its quantity production increased
In volume TO tho point where we could
greatly improve the Paige. As a re

SHORTAGE OF CLASS

MILWAUKEE. Wis, March g.
United Press.1Manufacture of auto

the plate glass Industry and causing
a great shortage of glass throughout
the United States, according to T. C.
Esser. president OF the t. C. Esser
Paint and Glass company. here.
More glass is being manufactured

With the situation making II diff

Esser IND are not submitting figures

plate glass are being handled. as the

will be able to get the glass when II
is needed. or whether the prices will
Increase, do not want to be left In tho
lurch.
In speaking of the cause for the
present, shortage of plate glass. Esser
said.
Until a few years ago. before the
automobile industry became one of the
greatest in the country. most OF the
glass factories were turning out plate
glass for building purposes and deal
ers were well supplied. The independ.
emit companies at that time were in
control of the plate glass industry.
With the rapid rise OF the automo.
bile industry. man of these indie,
pendent companies were bought UT
by the large automobile concerns and
turned TO the manufacture of glass
for automobile windshields, gradually
giving the control OF the building
plate glass industry over to one big
concern.

CAS- EACH YEAR, IS ESTIMATE
Carbon Clicked Engines and Too Richly Adjusted
Carburetors Accountable for Tremendous Loss
Annually, Says National Motorists Association.

While motorists bemoan the high
cost of gasoline. few stop to consider
that the key to the situation is largely
in their own hands.
Knowing that the law of supply and
demand usually determines the price
of any commodity, It is all the more
surprising that the Nations automo.
bilists should overlook the fact that
1t is sheer w~astefulness on their part
which creates an excessive demand
for gas and which, in turn. sends up
the price.
With a view to remedying condi-
tons by impressing upon motor SITS
the enormity of his excessive and
unnecessary demand for fuel, the Ma.
tional Motorists association has made
an investigation which encourages
the prediction that. unless car owners
turn over a new leaf. close to a bill.

during the present year.

fact n the ability of doing It's work
with a minimum of expense it Is con-
tinually becoming more and more in

Improvement in the present-day

ing Innovation of design, but rather
on a thorough knowledge of stap,e
development, primarily the outcome
OF what the motoring public desires.
Economical motor-car driving. like
economical motor-car manufacturing.

Beauty Is Pronounced

very pronounced. The user not only
wants comfort. safety and economy in
operation. and fine performance to-
gether with enduring quality, but the
car must have the grace of line and
finesse of proportion.
Improvements in the future auto
mobile will be in reflnements of de
sign calculated to improve it in ap-
pearance and performance. More en-
cheering thought will be given to-
ward decreasing operating and main
enance costs. Gasoline and oil con
sumption figures should be progress
sively lowered by improvements in
carbureter and fabrication.
There is need for the application of
the greatest amount of heat possible
to the carbureter mixture combined
with the carbureter Itself, which will
permit of the cleanest possible mix

There is an awakening also to the i'm
portance OF lettering IT,. brakes on
automobiles SO that they will require
less frequent adjustment and be more

Three F0uRTHS
OF Acc D Z N is
DUE TO BRAKES
1000 Accidents Might Have
Been Prevented Last Year,
Is Estimate.

On the basis OF reports of automo-
bile fatalities for 1922. j. w. Perry.
general manager of the automotive
department OF Johns-Manville. Inc.
said 1000 automobile fatalities might
be prevented this year by relieving
defects in brakes. He estimated three
could be prevented by the exercise of
care in the use of brakes.
Faulty Brakes to Blame.
A study in the interest OF proven
ton of accidents due to faulty brakes
issued by Johns-Manville reads in
part;
SIT Is encouraging to find that
though the total of automobile fatal
ties is on the increase they Ire not
increasing as rapidly as automobiles.
Tho total number of motor vehicles
has Increased SIG per cent since 1914.
while the rate of fatalities from mo-
tor vehicle accidents has increased
but 1s1 per cent in hat period. In
1914 one out OF every 356 automobiles
was involved in n fatal accident; in
1929 one out OF every 500 was so in
volved.
1.-THE number of fatalities from mo-
tor vehicle accidents last year was
nearly $1,000. The number this year
| will probably be as great. 1t is esti-
| mated that 75 per cent of these acci-
dents arc attributable to detective
| brakes. This means that IL motorists
would give their brakes the attention
| that they deserve. fatalities this year
could be reduced by about 1000.
Rail Accidents Decrease.
''Steam and street railway accidents
| have shown an encouraging decrease
| in recent ears an dthey point the
way that automobile accidents viii
| undoubtedly go. When owners and
| drivers have mastered h automobile
| as the motorman Inc the engineer
have mastered the steam and the cleo
| trio rain. we can expect to see not
| only n relatively decreasing rate of
automobile fatalities. but also an NIB
solutely decreasing rate.
ossInce worn brakes and brakes i'm
properly applied are by all odds tho
greatest single cause of
accidents. any safety measures taken
in 1923 will have to Include h SUD
iect of brakes as a chief considera
ton. Drivers should see to 1t that
brakes are adjusted every month
hat they operate equally on both
G wheels. and that the lining Is IN
good condition, Both brakes should be
tested regularly before starting and
drivers should try them out under all
possible conditions to ascertain how
quickly and safely a stop may De
made. Then in service. a liberal mar
gin of safety should be allowed"

bricant, badly adjusted spark plugs
or dragging brakes will increase the
where from 1 cent to 10 cents per
gallon. A slight readJustment OF the
carburetor for a better mixture OF
gasoline and air was found in one
instance to increase the mileage OF
a four-cydnder engine 23.5 per cent,
AS the National Motorists association
points out. by studying his instruc-
ton book and keeping the power
plant in trim. the motorist will not
only save his share OF the predicted
1923 wastage of gasoline but help to
effect that relationship between sup
ply and demand which should re
suit in a check on the rising price of
gasoline.
