SENDING ON THEIR RUBBISH

We may assume that Secretary
Davis of the Department of Labor
speaks from reliable information
when he says the European nations
are Withholding passports from de-
sirable American immigrants and are
sending to the United States their
"old men and rubbish"
There is perhaps nothing to be
gained by. becoming irritated over
this attempt of Europe to make
America a dumping ground of the
outworn and unfit. But an effective
brake certainly ought to be applied.
Even those early fathers of the re-
public who spoke of America as a
place for the oppressed of the earth,
never visualized this country as the
general international poor house and
charity hospital.-Detroit Free Press.

WINTER WISDOM

Now Is the time to buy your new
tires. The old custom was to try to
get through the winter on what one
had. but the situation is now being
reversed by wise motorists. Figure it
out When would you rather change
tire? Under the shade Of the old
apple tree In summer or standing out
in the freezing wind in winter? A
lot Of people prefer to ruin good tires
when they have punctures in winter
just because they don't want to risk
exposure in changing to the spare.
The better plan, therefore, would be
to get the best service from your tires
in winter and do the tire changing,
If necessary, when the weather is
more suitable for this form of out
door sport.
If there are icicles under the radia-
tor some cold day, don't bother to
break them off. They indicate q leak
somewhere. and, when they have
formed it simply means that the
leak is more or less clogged for the
time being. A water leak that is
stopped while the car is in service Is
not likely to cause any one any worry,

SAYS AUTOISTS LACK
BUYING EXPERIENCE
Dealer Declares Majority of Own.
ers Have Had But One
or Two Cars.

Motorists arel only just learning
how, to buy automobiles and can
expect a decided change in motor
conditions as a direct consequence,
according to Capt. Harry NJ Horton,
local automobile dealer. who shows
that the majority of car owners have
not as yet owned more than two
machines in their entire car expert
cnce.
Horton shows that since 1917 there
have been approximately 10000 900
cars added to the total number of
cars In service, and that these have
ers.
The motorist has, therefore, had
very little experience in car buying"
Horton says. Several million people
are now in the market. for a third
car, yet, as compared with the buying
OF other articles of utility, this rep
resents very little practice in buying.
A man does not feel that he knows
how to pick out good material in
suit of clothes until he has been
buying them for years.
"A very large proportion of 1894
safes Will come from those who have
never before purchased cars, while
the bulk Of the replacement business
viously bought not more than two
cars. 1t Is evident, therefore, that
as the public becomes better ac-
quainted with the process of buying
a new attitude toward motoring will
develop. 1t will develop into a sound
er business proposition, through
which the motorist will greatly
benefit.
About the only people who have
had real experience in buying cars
are the half-million pioneers who
have been motoring since 1910. Their
advice is worth something.
In other words, about one out of
every thirty motorists Is qualified to
give advice on car buying. The rest
have been privileged to have ac-
quaintance with so few cars as to
know very little about the subject"
In view OF these facts. Horton asks
prospective car purchasers to dis
count rumors and hasty opinions
about the various makes OF cars, and
TO go to the oid-timers who have
had experience when they want ex-
pert testimony. and feel that their
own judgment >may not be entirely
satisfactory.

IS, 100000 Motor Vehicles
Used to $500, 900 on
Steam Lines.


Motor vehicles in use throughout
the United States outnumber steam
railroad, passenger and freight cars
and locomotives by a ratio Of to I,
according to figures just compiled by
the Automobile Club of Southern CAL
ifornia. This estimate is based on q
census Of railroad rolling stock for
all steam roads in the United States
at the close Of 1923.
The total number Of motor vehicles
In use in the country at the present
time is approximately 15,000,000. The
railroad census shows that there are
100000 freight cars, $1,000 passenger
coaches and 68 900 locomotives In use
at the beginning OF 1924, or a total Of
2.525,000 units in steam Transports.

There is quite a difference In the
two conditions OF transportation as
the greater. majority of the steam
rolling stock consists Of freight cars.
while by far the greater number of
motor vehicles are used for passenger
service. According to the steam rail-
way reports there is one passenger
car to every forty-two freight ca RS,
while the motor vehicle registration
indicates about one freight truck for
every nineteen passenger cars.

MONITOR HITS TAX
ONMOTOR VEHICLES
Imposed as War.Revenue
Measure and Burden to
Consumer, Says Paper.

From Christian Science Monitor.
While the Congress Of the United
States Is considering plans for tax
reduction, including the recommeRda-
ton by Secretary Mellon for repeal
Of some Of the nuisance" or lux
ury" taxes, such as that on theatrical
admissions, it would appear that the
adjustment or substantial reduction
Of the special tax on motor vehicles
might well be provided for. This
tax, which adds directly to the cost
Of motor cars. trucks, tires and re-
pair parts, was imposed as a war;
revenue measure, and now that Amer
lean budget conditions permit OF
lowered taxes in the interest Of the
consumers. there would seem to be no
good reason why 1t should be re-
tanned. About one-third Of all the
motor cars in the United States are
owned by farmers, to whom the added
cost OF the tax on the car, tires and
repair parts Is a very consider
able burden. The millions of farmers
10 whom the motor vehicle is a
niece ssity, not a luxury, would well
come lower prices and cheaper re-
pair parts. Nothing in the proposals
to the Congress would 80 directly
result In immediate savings to many
millions Of persons Of average means.
Taxation on Commodities.
Special taxes on motor trucks arc
nothing less than q tax on the dis
tributton of goods, both Of farm prod
ucts to markets and manufactures to
the farms. With the constant ex-
tension of improved roads, the serv-
Ice rendered by motor transport Is
steadily increasing, and has become
an important factor in handling an
enormous volume of all kinds Of local
and suburban freight. A tax that
Increases the cost OF means of trans
portation is, Of course. passed, on to
just so much to the price Of articles
transported. While the saving
through the repeal Of these trans
portation taxes might in the indi-
vidual case be small, in the aggregate
1t would amount to many millions of
TO that much-desired reduction in the
cost Of living for which every one is
looking.
Motor vehicles are now, in many
states, subject to triple taxation:
First. the federal tax, then the state
they are assessed as personal prop
erty,' on which the prevailing local
tax rate IS imposed. 4 proposition
70 put a special tax on locomotives,
passenger or freight cars, and to re-
quire railway companies to pay an
other tax as q license for their opera
rion, would be fiouted by Legislative
bodies. There would seem to be no
good reason for maintaining spe-
ctal federal tax ON transportation of
freight or passengers by small units,
and II the plea of motor vehicle users
is properly presented to the Congress,
II should be possible to secure the
repeal Of this discriminatory tax

1t has been my duty to see many
war movies, but it remained for these
films to show me the real inside of
war Here is the real article-actual
movies of what we read about In the
papers during the World War.
Powder River" shows the actual

OF the World War-Cantigny, Chateau

There Will be many a soldier who will
remember the scenes pictured and
many a mother will recall a heartache
or a thrill of suspense while those
actual battles were in progress.
Powder River" is easily the best
Of the so-called war movies. The
camera has not been trained upon
Paris, war counsels and the like, but
upon the men who did the actual
fighting.
These pictures are official and were
taken by United States camera men
while the actual fighting was going
on. Many a camera man was killed
while taking these very pictures.

as an historical document can not

not understand why his son should
have a personality and a few rights
about the house.
Harrington drives home the lesson
of being a pal to your son by some
mighty clever touches. Bill Datimer
is a real boy. He wants a gun to
shoor with He is anxious to find out
what makes the wheels go round in
an alarm clock. He also desires that
his father be in on the secret OF the
clock, but Dad is too busy to bother.
Bills father feels that Bill is always
in the wrong. Bill couldn't be right
because he was only a bad boy" But
his mother knew that BIZ had a per
sonslity, and being a human being he
was entitled to certain rights.
Harrington in one master stroke
shows how Bills father misunder-
stands the boy. Old man Latimer pur-
chased a birthday present for Bill. Be
fore 1t was unwrapped Bill was sure it
was a gun with which he could go
hunting, butt turned out TO be a
nice umbrella. Again the father mis-
understa nds.
The failure of Bits father to un-
derstand results in Bill running away
from home. but Bill, after an exciting
hour away from home at night, is re-
turned home by a young doctor, who
understands boys.
Then Bills mother rebels. She
leaves her husband and takes Bill to
a little cottage. There Bill has a
chance to be a real boy. The young
doctor helps Bill to be a real boy and
a good one at the same time.
In the end, Bills father learns to be
a pal of his son and the result Is that
all is happiness.
Henry Walthall is cast as Bills
father. Irene Rich is Bits mother
