DODGE DEALERS WARN
AGAINST COUNTERFEIT
CAR SERVICE PARTS

Assuming that the public is en-

continued dissatisfaction. Dodge
Brothers have again asked their
dealers to warn motorlest that the
market is flooded with counterfeit
service parts OF every description.
Some of these parts. it Is said. are
represented as genuine. In other in

lieve that the counterfeit part is ex.

though 1t is not manufactured by
the builder of the car u which the
part is to be used to replace another
part. Dodge Brothers contend that
the buyer is the victim Of mlsrep-
re%sentation in either case.
The result OF n long series of tests
in the Dodge Brothers laboratories
indicate that the motorist is not only
fooled. as n general rule, when he
pays out good money for counterfeit
parts. but that he sometimes places
himself in actual danger.
For example. n genuine Dodge

that they nre a source of endless

SOUTH AMERICA STILL
OFFERS GREAT FIELD
FOR AUTO EXPANSION

Regardless Of any s~o-called satura-
ton point or traffic congestion prob
lens in this country. the automobile
Industry still has a wide field in
which TO expand, and this field is
South America, according to Guy H.
Peasley. sales manager of Odds MO-
tor Works, Lansing, Michigan.
"From present indications South
American countries will rank second
only to the United States in the
number of automobiles per capita
said Mr.. Peasley. In no part OF
the world is there more activity and
enthusiasm regarding things auto
motive than can be found in the
chief South American countries.
Recently they sent a delegation here
to study road building. and they are
doing everything within their power
to foster the use of the automobile.
Another recent affair which in
dicates the interest evoked by the
automobile was an endurance run
made under the direction OF Cassie.

high gear TALL other gears having
been removed from the transmissionl
from Sac Paulo to Araraquara-
somewhat similar to the transcon-
~tinental run made more than a year
ago by Cannon-Ball Baker in an
Oldsmobile in this country. There
was this difference. the Brazilian
run was over some of tho worst
roads In the world to quote n Sac
Paulo newspapers account of the
successful trip.
ITO those of us in this country
who are accustomed to automobiles
performing almost impossible feats.
the run In itself was no greater test
or moro thrilling than some con-
Quoted In this country. But the at
titude of the South Americans to-
ward the test was highly illustrative
of the attitude of those people to-
ward the automobile"

TRAFFIC TALKS
UNIFORMITY OF TRAFFIC REGULATIONS

crably removed. it is suggested that
an effort be made to segregatc street
cars, motor cars and passenger auto
mobiles on separate thoroughfares,
and that attention be given to the
desirability of restricting unneces-
sary use Of residence streets by
motor-truck traffic.
Street and highway hazards arc
due chiefly to vehicular traffic.
These hazards can be greatly re-
duced by a proper arrangement OF
streets and highways. Consequently
each community must necessarily
study and carefully consider its own
special problems with particular en-
phasis upon safety"
All OF which is sound advice.
The year 1924 was a good year
for the automotive industry. ever
though it was less by ten per cent
than the year 1923. incidentally
1924 was 3s per cent better than
1929. This year should be just as
good il not better than 1924.
A total OF 3,650,ooo motor cars
and trucks we're sold last year. This
means that there arc approximately
1900 900 motor vehicles in the
United States.
These few facts should emphasize
that traffic problems are national
problems and it is most encouraging
that the United States Government
is taking the lead in attempting to
work out sound, practical solutions

that 1.422. 353 people visited the var

Motor buses have been the most
important transportation factor in
popularizing the parks, and many of
the bus fleets will be increased this
year.. Yellowstone park has bought
ten more White buses, which will
bring this fleet TO ais Whites, of
which 293 are buses and 20 ARE

0ystermen Noisily Invite l Predatory Ducks Begone
(By Associated Press)

OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 26.-Con- | fronted with the devastation of their
 oyster beds by the predatory activi- ties of cOots and bluebill ducks, and
 being prevented by law from routing the invaders by the ordinary shot gun process, members of the Olympia Oyster Growers Association have determined on a novel campaign of
 bloodless "frightfulness" ot protect their bivalves, according to E. N. Steele, secretary of the organization. With the reported approval of state fish and game officials, speedy launch has been equipped with a gun which discharges a blue car bide flame into the air at regular in- tervals. The boat carried also a
 mortar which discharges smoke and
 noise bombs, hurling the projectiles into the air a distance of 150 yards. This permits reaching out over the exposed beds when the tide is too
 low to approach the feeding birds.
 This craft will cruise about the
 beds, belching its flames and hurling it's deathless projectiles in hopes that the thousands of predatory birds which feed upon the oysters may be routed without depicting the game
 supply, or running counter to the federal game law provisions.

Haiti Has Prospered Under Nine Years of
 American Control
<By Associated PressI

By Associated PreSsl
 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. 26. The accomplishments of the United States during the occupation of the island of Haiti that has extended over nine years are worthy of note. All the activities necessary to the rehabilitation of the country have been supervised and directed by Am ericans, with distinct benefit to the republic. The one great outstand ing result of this work is the knowl edge of all Haitians, and especially the peasant working class that they are free of the menace of cOnfisca ton of their property and that their lives are safe. The poorest man in the island knows he will be protect ed in his home, that he will be able to enjoy the fruits of his labors and that he is free to go and come and carry his possessions with him.
 Anarchy reigned in Haiti in July 1915, and American marines were landed for the protection of the lives and property of American and foreign citizens. Two months later the Unit ed States made treaty with Haiti by which the former country pledg- ed itself to remedy the financial sit uation and to develop the economic possibilities of the republic.
  At this time Haiti was bankrupt with a national debt of $32,O00,000. Also she had no credit. Today the national debt is slightly under $23,- 100000, the currency is at par in the worlds markets, modern bud get system has been established, and a cash reserve of s1,306,S56 has been built up.
 When the American marines landed in the summer of 1915, sanitation was medieval in character and disease was rampant. Today ten hospitals are in operation and dispensaries are maintained in areas outside the hos pitl zones. Clinics are held in re- mote places and sanitary inspection maintained in all cities and towns and the most stringent regulatios are enforced and carried out. It took years of patient effort to overcome the ignorance of the natives and the influence of the witchcraft and voodoo doctors, but today the peo- pie are Hooking to the American medical men for relief. Malaria is

In the summer of 1915 it is esti- mated that some 6000 bandits in fested Haiti. Life and property were not safe and travel on public high years Haiti has had peace and se- curity. Peasants have returned to their homes or built new ones and the native or foreigner is perfect ly safe in any part of Haiti. A na- etive gendarmerie of A commission ed officers and 2,5O0 enlisted men has been trained and equipped under the guidun.- Dl American n,,.i. off, cers Thcv have entire charge of tie policing of the island and are sta toned in every section.
 This financial and economic uplift of the island has been accomplished solely thru Haitian resources and the friedly cooperation of the Haitian government with Brigadier General John H. Russell, United States ma rine corps, the American high com missioner and his staff of American treaty officials. While much has been accomplished there is long road ahead ClarificatiOn of the laws and the placing of judiciary on a high plane are now occupying the attention of officials.

being checked and native doctors and nurses are being trained.
 In 1915, public works had virtually ceased to function. Roads were wretched and without bridges and the lighthouses inadequate to the large number of harbors and the dan- gerous coast. Today there are more than 600 miles of good graveled roads, many new bridges, 800 miles of new telephone and telegraph lines and a good telephone system in Port au-Prince. The coast is now en- circled by chain of lighthouses and automatically lighted buOys which make navigation along the coast and into the harbors easy and safe.
