President A. r. Tyson OF tho Odds
mobile Motor Co. OF Seattle. who
has Just returned from a trip TO the
factory at Lansing. Mich.
Charlie" as no Is known on
Automobile Row." found that the
Fisher Body corporation has put In
operation. on the oldsmobilo lot. on
It's largest plants for the exclusive
manufacture OF oldKmobllo bodies.
This eliminates a large expense
OF overhead In handling. transporta-
ton and warohousing bodies when
purchased from body concerns In
other parts OF the country. which
is the usual rule with the general
run OF manufacturers OF automo-
blles. This is ono OF the many fea-
lures by which the Oidsmobile en-
gineors have managed 10 work down
the coat. and put such tremendous
value on tho market in the oldsmo-
bile line" he says.
Tyson visited many OF the olds-
mobile and other automobile dis
tributors on his way there. and re-
ports that the oldsmobile has be-
como quito factor with the buying
public.

ERASE BUMPS WITH
BOSCH ABS0RBERS

WHILE the upward trend in
w motor car design tends TO pro-
vtds greater facilities and qualities
for increased riding comfort. the
average car is not impregnable TO
the jolts and bumps experienced in
travelling over rough roads. And
these jolts. while obviously dis
tasteful to any driver, are admit
edly injurious TO tho car in time.
Tho introduction of the new Bosch
shock absorber. said TO provide all
tho easy riding qualities that some
cars lack. has succeeded In meeting
a popular demand. argues +. @.
Guenther, OF the Northern Electric
Co, official American Bosch repre-
sentatives and general automotve
electrical service station for Seattle.
So favorable has become the repu-
tauon of the new typo shock alb
sorber5 among drivers as an ef-
ficient and flexible unit of simple
construction installation and adjust
mont that many automobile manu-
facturers have reached tho conclu-
sion that cars thus equipped have
a distinct added appeal and ad-
vantage, asserts Guenther. and this
advantage is not diminished in use
with balloon tires.

For traffic highways, Major Bes.

This makes room for double car

Tho next step IN widening tho

shown that even tho there is room
for two lines OF moving vehicles
between the street car tracks and

Sweden Tries to Provide

 Out of total of only 56 "visents" in the world. seevn are to be found in Sweden. and up to the present time this herd has been kept In the open air museum of Stockholm. But the animals did not seem to thrive well in the restricted space. Infor- nation regarding the situation came to Consul-General Axel A. Johnson, who immediately offered to set aside 100 acres of the widest part of his estate in central Sweden as pre- serve. The offer was accepted and nova bull 'visent" and two females have been turned out Into the kind of country over which their ances- tors roamed thousands of years ago.

BolSheVik Government TranSaCtS Business Behind Solid Walls

Moscow. Sept, 5,-Russia's bol- shevik government Is probably the only one in the world which barri- cades itself behind fortress. Every department of the present soviet regime, with thre or four notable exceptions, has its headquarters within the high walls of the krem- lin, which. stripped of Its churches, shrines, museums and art treas ures, is nothing more than an armed citadel, almost inYulnerable from attack.
 No feudal king Of the middle ages, secure in his castle of stone and steel, surrounded by meats, battlemented walls and earthworks. was better fortified against attack than are the members of the so- viet ministry.

BUSINESS WILL
 OCCUPY PRINCE
Wales Is Not So Wealthy Says
 Financial Secretary

New York, Sept. 5.--Business will be one Of the concerns of the Prince of Wales when he reaches his ranch near Calgary, Alberta, 1t developed today when Sir Walter Peacock, financial secretary to the prince for Cornwall, arrived on the steamship Mauretania.
 Sir Walter said he would leave shortly for Canada, preceding his royal master. He first will pay his respects to the prince at the royal visitors holiday home on Long Is- land.
 Sir Walter explained that Corn wall is the duchy from which the prince derives his chief income. The Canadian ranch, with its 4,O00 acres on which the royal heir is raising blooded cattle and thoroughbred horses, is not yielding a revenue to Wales coffers, as all its net receipts are being put back into improve ments, he explained. When the prince joins Sir Walter in Canada, business problems concerning the ranch operation will be discussed the secretary said.
 Sir Walter was amused when asked concerning truth of a recent cable dispatch that maintained that the princes investments were so prosperous that they would make him Europe's wealthiest king.
 "Is the prince, then, so wealthy" he was asked.
 "Oh, not so wealthy, I should say" Sir Walter replied.
