AMERICAN OBSERVER SATISFIED
WITH PROGRESS MADE DURING
PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT
FINISH THIRD OF WORK
MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE
DAWES PLAN YET TO BE
CONSIDERED

London.-The Dawes plan for Il rep
arations deal intended to he devoid of
sentiment and political and national
istic feeling is going through the most
critical period of its existence under
the scrutiny of experts mt work in the
committee rooms in Downing street. II
was authoritatively stated that Ameri
cas- official observer, Ambassador Kel-
logg, and his adviser. Col. James A. Lo-
gan, Jr. and the prime ministers of
Great Britain, France and Belgium,
were highly satisfied with the progress
made.
The British are said to be pnrticu-
larly pleased because the deliberations
are keeping close to the vital purpose
for which the conference assembled
that Of adopting broad, sweeping meas
urcs for making the Dawes scheme
workable.
One important phase of the confer
ence work, that of perfecting the or
ganizatiOn to be set up in each coun-
try for handling the payments to be
made by Germany under the new
scheme was completed, and n draft of
the proposals embodying the agree
ment is ready for the approval of u
plenary session of the conference.
Thus n third of the work laid out
for the conference has been accom-
plished within few hours of Pre-
mier McDonald's formal welcome TO
the delegates. But the most optimis-
tic of the envOys who have gathered
in London to attempt to put an end to
the reparations wrangles of the last
six years do not suggest that il is the
most important or the most difficult
third of what is to be done before the
Dawes plan is effected.
1t is pointed out that making plans
for receiving and distributing rep.
arations was easy sailing, but the
the rocks around which the allied
plenipotentaries must steer care
ful course lies behind the two sub
| divisions of the conference known as
committees one and two. The first
is dealing With the problem of Great
ing confidence for an international
loan for Germany and the question of
an American member of the replra-
tions commission as arbiter on the
subj ject of defaults.
Another problem before the com
mittee is what penalties ~ inflict ii
Germany wilfully defaults under the
Dawes schedule
Committee two, which is attempt
ing to devise means 10 restore the
fiscal and economic unity of Germany
has encountered difficulties, owing to
the French request for assurance that
an international loan, upon which the
whole working of the Dawes plan de
pends, shall be underwritten before
question of German unity is brought
up.

There was the usual attendance at

The Sunday School picnic at Berke-

All present were given all the ice

jolly good time was had by all. The
Sunday School is very grateful to Mr..

their kindness in using their trucks to
convey the school and friends to and

SEES BIG INCREASE
In AUTO DELIVERIES
Expert Declares Business for April
and May VIII Exceed Marks
Of Previous Years.

Deliveries of motor cars during the
months OF April and May will exceed
by large margin the deliveries for
corresponding months in any previ-
GUS year IN the industry. according
to Edward S. Jordan, president Of the
Jordan Motor Car Company.
This viii be due to the fact that
the business dealers throughout the
country have been able. through the
assistance Of their factories and fin
ancing corporations, TO accumulate q
sufficient stock of cars for spring de-
livery so. as to avoid the shortage
which has prevailed during those
mouths in every other year.
An interesting phase of the auto
mobile industry which has been high
ly developed during the past two
years is illustrated by this condition.
Finance own stock
Until the past winter practically
every dealer in the United States had
been forced TO completely finance his
ments with local banks.
In many cases he was unable to
stock a sufficient number CT cars to
take care of his deliveries in the
spring.
This brought about a hectic condi-
tion which developed early in April
and continued through May and in
volved great expense through
the necessity of overland driving of
of money as well to many dealers
who when they could not deliver i'm
mediately were forced To watch the
business go across the street.

The method OF charging the bat.
teries will vary in accordance to the
number which are to be handled.
When only a few are to be taken
care of, and direct current is avaiia-
bic, a bank OF lamps in connection
with fused double pole switch win
answer all requirements. For such
charging. a number of lamp sockets
are mounted on a board and are con-
nected In multiple, the entire group
being connected in series with the
switch and the battery. As many
lamps as may be found necessary to
obtain the correct charging rate are
then screwed into the sockets. As
a thirty-two candlepower carbon
lamp allows practically one ampere
to pass through. such lamps are gem
orally used IL they cannot be OBJ
tained. however, two sixteen CANDLE
power carbon lamps may be used in
the place of each one of the larger
size required.
If direct current is not available,
some means of rectification must be
provided. The method most com
monty used is based on the mercury
arc principle. though the medium en-
ployed varies according TO the type
Of rectifier. Such rectifiers use the
current on but one part of the wave
and their efficiency varies from so to
10 per cent, though some manufac-
furers claim higher percentage. OF
such rectifers. the Tungar is perhaps
the most popular. AS they take up
no floor space (being attached to the

NO. 4c-ADowN HILL

When a driver gets TO the point
where he imagines that he handles
tho car just about as we'll as he
ought to, that is the logical time for
him to invite a more experienced
driver for ride with him and learn
otherwise. Just such a situation de-
Teloped when Smith recently asked
me along for ride, but with slight
variation.
Smith was a little worried about
his gasoline mileage. He had per-
sonally ground in the valves and
cleaned out the carbon. He had seen
TO it that the car was thoroughly
creased all over and that the brakes
did not bind. The carburetor mix
lures seemed just right, yet gasoline
consumption was too high.

he started down a steep hill, that l

car, and wasn't quite ready for my
answer. About half way down the
hill he decided that the car was going

engaged, he began applying the foot
brake. Then, satisfied that he was
down TO a safe speed again, he re-
leased the brake pedal slightly, keep
ing just enough pressure on 1t to
hold the car at a constant speed. But
Just as we neared the bottom car
shot out from q side road in such a
way that Smith was given the choice
OF stopping voluntarily or involun-
1arily. He decided upon the wiser
course of action by jamming on both
the foot ond the emergency brakes.
Now, while this was better than
smashing into the other ear. it was
a long way from logical driving
overlooked the fact that his engine
could have been used to do at least
nalf the braking work. Had he sim
ply let in the clutch and shut off the
ignition the car could have been
brought to a standstill by a COM
paratively slight application of the
service or foot brake.
Expensive and Dangerous.
I'm your eagerness to save gasoline,
smith," l said, you are wasting q
lot more money other ways. Relying
on the brakes in going downhill is
not only expensive, but dangerous.

"r've tried shutting off the ignition
when going downhill," Smith said
~but I don't like the way the engine

Surprising all previous monthly
