Adopt American Methods

European manufacturers, producing
only a limited number of cars day,
must sell their products for prices
greatly in excess of those of the
American manufacturer witnsa capac-
ity of hundreds of cars daily.
A European car, selling for an
equivalent of $500, does not compare
in intrinsic value with an American
car at the same price, because In the
manufacture Of foreign cars many
costs, such as excessive overhead per
car, expense of complicated sales, etc.,
have to be absorbed.
Some foreign manufacturers are in
creasing their capacity and are adopt
ing American large production meth
ods, because by operating on smaller
basis they have not been able to meet
the prices and quality of American
cars. Moreover, they realize that the
repetition of the same operation many
times tends towards greater precision
and skill in the worker, and conse-
auently results in q higher degree of
accuracy and quality in the product
itself.
With the long experience, manufac-
ing skill and highly developed methods
of the automobile manufacturers in
this country, American cars will con-
tinue to grow in importance in the
markets of the world. In fact, the
United States has its greatest era of
foreign automobile business ahead.

ADVERTISING CITIES
THROUGH IT'S HOTELS

The Importance to a city Of having
proper and adequate hotel accommo-
dations as a means of creating a
favorable impression Of the town in
the minds Of strangers, was discussed
IN a recent issue of a hotel publication.
The size-up Of town by a stranger.
says the article, is largely made from
It's hotel, but it does not end there.
Fhe hotel takes care the stranger
within the gates; it daily brings to
town more foreign" money than any
other institution in town. What does
the community do to aid and abet this
desirable end? Today every little
town has a.chamber of commerce, ass
ociatiOn or club to foster and develop
civic spirit, but some Of them go at it
in a rather crude way.
Sometimes they want a new hotel
where no hotel is needed. Often they
do not think Of the little and in
expensive things that would go a
long way to leave a good impression
on the memory of a stranger. We
note today when auto touring that
many towns placed "City Limits"
signs on the highway passing through
the town, with speed limit usually
given, but the name of the town
ommited. Why is this? Is the town
ashamed to have its name known?
Town after town is traversed and un-
less some factory or business sign
carries the name Of the place it must
remain nameless in the auto tourists
mind.
What a simple, silly little oversight
in the welfare of the town. At the
towns limits on the auto highway
should stand a we'll made bulletin
board or arch giving the name of the
town, it's population, distance and di-
rection from nearly other points, and
possibly names of the hotels in the
community. 1t is the easiest, cheap
est and most direct way Of advertising
hotels and community and thus far is
the least used. Incompetent or omitt-
ed road and town marking is still one
of the trials of the auto tourist.
A neat arch should span the high
way at "the towns end" the Getty
limits" marked as above indicated,
and at night an electric light should
ilIuminatethe arch, so that the belated
tourist may know "where he is at. !"
The town should keep its streets clean
and repaired, the weeds cut and prove
to the world that it knows how to
keep house.. These are few of the
things town can do to prove that it
is entitled to prosperity in the Twen-
tieth Century. Fourth Estate

THIRD MILLION PLEASURE
SEEKERS VISIT ARIZONA
NATIONAL FORESTS 1923

National forest reports indicate
that 317 ,586 persons visited the nat
ional forests of Arizona during 1923
to hunt, fish, picnic or camp, accord
ing to estimates compiled by the dis
trict office of the forest service at
Albuquerque. Of this number 310,-
eco came to the forests in autos. Most
Of them camped, although about 43,-
600 stopped at hotels and resorts.
Some of these were local people, but
the great majority were tourists trav-
cling through the southwest. Many OF
them intended, no doubt, when they
left their homes in the east, to go
straight through to the Pacific coast
but were so much attracted by the
beauty of Arizona's mountain scenery
and climate that they stopped to visit
the national forests along the way.
Although it has often been said that
the auto has made long distance walk
ing a lost art in America, the esti-
mates show that 446 visitors came to
Arizona national forests on foot while
1900 reached them by wagon, horse
back or bicycle.
'The number of people that visited
LHc AI1ZOud lldIlO1icI LOACeobo AH~A2S
year." says District Forester F. G. W.
Pooler, "is larger than for any prev
ious year.
"We are glad to have them" con-
tinued Mr.. Pooler, "and hope the num-
Der will increase each year. The nat
ional forests contain much OF inter
est to the tourist and it is hoped that
great many more of cur citizens
will become acquainted with them IN
the future. The tourist is surely a
source Of considerable income to To-
cal communities. While we have no
estimates of the amount Of money he
spends in Arizona, it must run into
the millions. Local residents and bus
mess men can encourage tourist trade
in no better way than by warning
these who use the forests to be GER
/ tain not to start forest fires.
"The most gratifying thing about
this increased use of the forests for
recreation is that the increase in num-
Der Of forest fires has been small.
Apparently most Of the tourists are
careful with camp fires and while
smoking in the forests"

AMERICAN MADE MARS
RULE FOREIGN MARKETS
BY III. S. Vance,
Sales Mgr. Studebaker Corporation

The ability to produce quality cars
on a quantity basis is the underlying
reason why the United States leads
the nations of the world in the man
ufacture of automobiles. American
successfully with the automobiles of
the country into which they are ship
ped, and even in one or two countries,
where seriously handicapped by high
import duties, many American cars
arc sold.
Nearly 84 per cent of all the motor
vehicles registered in the world in
1922 were manufactured in this coun-
try. Although final figures are not
yet available it is conservative to say
that, with the large increase in Amer
lean automobile production in 1928
approximately 80 per cent of all au-
tomobiles now registered in the worle
have been made in the United States
American exports of motor vehicles
in 1922 represented 40 per cent of the
entire production of motor vehicles by
all other countries in the world for
the same year. American exports in
that year were 78,234-more than
doubling those of the previous year
and figures for 1923 will show a large
increase over 1922.
American cars enjoy many advanc-
ed features of construction which
make them more serviceable and sat
isfactory to operate.
American Service Simplified
They are built along the same gem
eral lines, first of all, and can be cas-
lily understood and repaired by me-
chanics. European cars, on the other
hand, do not conform with any basic
standard, and as a result, "freakD cars
appear on the foreign markets. This,
of course, makes it difficult to obtain
service.
European cars do not have as much
reserve power as the average Ameri-
can automobile. Where the Stude-
baker Light-Six has an R. A. G. rat
ing of 23.4 II. p, the great number
of English and French cars have only
5 to Is FL. P. Because of their small
motors, the majority of European cars
are equipped with four speeds ahead
instead of three, with the result that
the driver must shift from fourth to
third speed in order to climb the most
ordinary hill. This fact, and the added
flexibility of American-made motors,
add favor to American cars in the
markets abroad.
Some time ago European cars could
be operated with lower gasoline con-
sumption, due to the smallness of the
motors, but automotive engineers in
this country have almost completely
offset even this temporary European
advantage by decreasing the fuel con-
sumption required by the powerful
American-nade cars.
Generally speaking European auto
mobiles have lower road clearance
than America cars. This is of little
Importance in England or France,
where highways are improved, but it
is a decided disadvantage, for exam
pie, where cars must negotiate the
rugged roads of Australia or South
Africa.

" REPORT, ILL.-This city was

tide-and is still. Why? Be
cause thousands of day-old
chicks are passing through the mails
these days from large hatcheries of
northern Illinois to purchasers in near

to postal authorities.
The parcel post, they said. has
proved boon to poultrymen, who are
able to ship their product at compare

near and with the assurances that the
birds will arrive in good condition.
Within a radius of 80 miles of Free
port are to be found some of the larg-
est hatcheries in the world, many Of
them having capacity Of 10000 eggs.
From now until well into June these
hatcheries will send out continual

The plan of buying chickens by par
eel post is made possible by the fact
that chicken does not need food dur

posits are found In these counties.
Such deposits were caused by molten
material from the interior Of the
earth forcing its way through cracks
in the limestone. The age Of these
deposits, biologists say. cannot be de-

they were present before the Rocky
mountains. in the West were raised
above the surface of the surrounding
plains.
The volcanic plug near here is mere
ly the igneous material, or rock formed
by heat, that remained in the crater
of the volcano when it became mac
tive. To the eye little indications Of
the volcano can be seen, and it is only
by examining and analysing the rocks
and powders that now are mixed with
soil that biologists have discovered
the crater. Often these plugs project
many feet above the true crater, the
molten lava hardening as it strikes the
air and being forced on up by pressure
from behind. If this is the case here,
the true volcano is still many feet un-
der the ground and was buried as the
surrounding country was built up by
sedimentary deposits. 1t Is possible.

original volcano has been worn away

to the packages of chicks warning
against feeding food to them too early,
as nature has supplied enough food to
last them for more than two days and
feeding before that time often has bad
results. The plan has been so success
full that many farmers and poultry
raisers have quit setting hens and rum
ming incubators, preferring to buy
chicks of known breed. strain and
hardness.
Some of the large incubators cost
$1,000 and accommodate 10,36S eggs
on their 10S trays. The usual method
is to fill SO of the trays with eggs
Monday morning. A week later those
trays are moved down, to make room
for another series, and after another
week elapses the operation is repeated.
At the end of three weeks the eggs in
the trays first placed in the incubator
are Matched and the chicks then trans
ferred to the brooder compartment in
the lower part of the incubator.
The chicks are kept in the nursery"
until they are dry, and as soon there
after as possible they are shipped out.

New Calendar Is Hope of Scientists

International agitation to change
the existing form Of the calendar now
has reached such a stage that organi-
zation to change to simpler type is
under way, Doctor Yanney said. He
expressed himself as certain, If the
proposed scientists congress adopts
the 13-month style, that sentiment will
be strong to bring about its adoption
in 1928 by all countries.
There are many defects in the pres
ent calendar. Doctor Yanney asserted.
Should the 13-month style of calen-
dar be chosen, the congress would set
tie details and draft resolutions in
legislative form for adoption by the
government. Such a calendar, Doctor
Yanney declared, should be good for
5000 years.
Then Independence Day would al
ways come on the same day of the
week also Christmas and New Years
Day. In many ways such calendar
would simplify matters exceedingly.

Free Hospital Service to Many Millions

In this group of hospitals last year
46 per cent Of the care was given away
free. The average has been about the
same for several years. During 1928
the United Hospitals cared for 41.310
free patients, each of whom remained
in the hospital on an average of fifteen
days. There were besides 20,248 pub
lie charges for whom the city paid
and 8S,956 patients who were able to
meet but part Of the expense.
The crowd of patients who apply
daily at these hospitals for assistance
of every conceivable kind has grown
rapidly. The daily average for the
entire year in 1923 was S.438 patients,
or q total number Of 3.O79,S70 appli-
cants in the year. To care for this
great army in the hospitals required a
daily average Of 1887 employees, OF
whom Ats were nurses. There were
besides some 2,144 members Of the hos
pital stats and 2,05S on the out-patient
staff. The Post Graduate hospital
alone treated on an average Of about
900 day.
A nominal fee Of SO cents for adults
and Is cents. for children is charged.
The patients receive prescriptions, and
in the surgical wards bandages and
dressing for their wounds are free OF
charge. In addition to this regular
ward service of the fifty-eight hospi-
tails the United Hospital fund carries
on an important work in connection
with the out-patients department or
dispensaries. In this work. treatment
was given in single year to 723.147
patients, or more than three and
half times the number Of patients
treated in the hospital beds under this
fund.
