Nash Looks Backward
To Old Vehicle Days
BY c. W. Nash

by =. W. NASH
President the Nash Motors Company
The automobile industry, inter-
woven with the fundamental need for
rapid and economical transportation,
looks to the future with that same
confidence which characterizes any
other industry providing for the pub
lie and economic necessity. The
motor car industry itself will grow
but only those manufacturers best
qualified to serve the most eXacting
demands of the transportation field
will remain; already the process or
elimination. as natural almost as the
law of gravity itself, has set in and
the industry is now passing through
that period common to the history of
all great industries, the survival of
the fittest.
To gain an idea of what the future
may hold forth we need only look
back over what has been accom-
plished in the past in road trans
portation. We do not have to so back
more than fifty years in the history
of this great country to find oX-carts
and Lynch-pin wagons in use
throughout America; those same OK
carts and wagons cost our forefath-
ers almost as much at that time as
the automobile costs us today.
About the time I have mentioned
we find small wagon and carriage
shops springing up in various parts
of the country, which confined them
selves to the building of what were
known as thimble- skein wagons. The
more, prosperous enjoyed the distinc-

TRIP REVEALS
GOLD AND FUR
Important Commercial Posi-
I bilities Developed by Third
Asiatic Expedition

While science toys with the %
dinosaur eggs brought back from
the interior of Mongolia by the
Third Asiatic Expedition, and won
ders about their relationship to the
dinosaur skeletons now and then
unearthed in Aperica, industrial
leaders are giving deep and serious
, thought to the commercial phase of
the expeditions many remarkable
discoveries.
Numerous important mineral de-
posts were found. according to Roy
Chapman Andrews. leader of the eX-
petition, and it Is only a matter of
time until modern transportation
makes 1t accessible. The plains are
also inhabited by millions OF fur
bearing animals. and fur traders are
already hot on the trail followed by
the Andrews party in it's search for
fossils.
Mr.. Andrews demonstrated that 1t
was not necessary to rely on the
plodding camel in order to penetrate
the rich interior. His three Dodge
Brothers motor cars did what the
fur traders and others interested in
the commercial development of
Mongolia had considered impossible.
The fur traders promptly bought up
his three Dodge Brothers cars.
proved to their satisfaction that it
was in the car to do it-and not just
auckland are now operating fleets
of the same sturdy American car in
pursuit of the fortunes that roam
aimlessly on the plains. Trips that
formerly required months are now
made in days. There are no roads,
but that seems to make little differ
ence when one is using a Dodge
Brothers car.
Thus the fur trade already has
been given definite impetus by the
Andrews expeditions revelations
Information regarding the geological
discoveries. such as mineral deposits,
was turned over to the Monaghan
government. How soon active de-
velopment of these. resources will
begin, depends largely on the con-
dition of state affairs and the inter-
est of outside capital.
The Importance with which the
results of the expedition are viewed
by the press is reflected in the count
less editorials which followed the
travellers return. Typical of the
comments is the following, from the
Dallas Journal:

Different WAYS OF
USING C%RANBERRIES
They Help Greatly to Replace
Fruits and Berries

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Cranberries have many uses in addi-
ton to the traditional sauce or jelly
that accompanies the Thanksgiving
and Christmas turkeys. Coming on
the market, as they do, when cold
weather begins, they help to replace
the fresh fruits and berries that have
disappeared from the menu, and fur
nish fruit acids and other valuable
constituents needed in the diet.
Cranberry sauce is, of course, the
easiest use for these berries, because
it takes but a few minutes to cook the
cranberries and sugar sufficiently.
When made with a small amount OF
water the sauce will be firm enough
to turn Out of molds when cold. Any
good cookbook gives directions for
making cranberry sauce to accompany
turkey or other poultry. When cram
berry jelly is preferred the sauce must
be strained. Cranberry ice or sherbet,
made with the juice of fresh berries,
Is often served with the meat course
instead Of the more common cranberry
sauce.
Either the sauce or jelly may be
stored, like any other preserves, In
sterilized glasses covered with paraffln.
1t Is then useful as a spread for bread,
as a sandwich filling, in tart shells
for desserts, on ice cream or plain
blanc mango, on shortcake, as a sauce
for hot cake-like desserts such as cot

in jelly rolls, layer cake or charlotte
russo.
In addition to being spread on short
cake, cranberry can be combined
with biscuit dough in several ways.
Served in a baking dish, covered with
a biscuit top, it becomes cranberry

Aim of English Institutes.
In describing before a group of ex-

Miss Zimmerman explained that the
aim Of these organizations Is social
as we'll as educational. Women of

walks If life are urged to join them
for the sake of community solidarity.

great variety of classes conducted in
which any woman, who wishes to, can
learn to do or make something which
saves expenditure or by which she
can earn money. Such work as max
ing rush seats, gloves, bags, uphol-
stery, umbrella covers, blouses, white
washing or soldering is in great de-
mand. The institutes resemble exten

must pass tests before they can
qualify as instructors. One-half of the

raised locally, the remainder is borne
by the British department of agri-
culture, but the state support is to be

Fixed Annual Charge.
The institutes differ from our extern
sion groups in that a fixed annual
charge of 2 shillings is made, and
there are other small fees for class
instruction and for any refreshments
served at meetings. Apparently no
meetings occur, either in the daytime
evening, without the customary
English cup of tea, but the usual
charge of 3 pence seems to be cheer
fully met by all of the many members
who find that both the social and edu-
~cational aspects of the Institutes add
much to their enjoyment of life.
