entirely of steel, without wooden
framework or joints in their makeup.
This new development Is the result
of scientific and metallurgicaa expert
ments in the use Of steel in the con-
struction of motor car bodies in which
Willys-Oyerland, the Budd Manufac-
turing Company of Philadelphia, and
the steel industry have collaborated IN
an effort to improve on the conven-
tional designs.
Today, engineers admit that the
all-steel design is the nearest app
proach to perfection in motor car
body because of its greater strength,
safety, endurance, proof against fire,
economy and beauty.
The all-steel construction on closed
cars permits use of smaller posts or
steel between the doors and at the
windshield corners. This minimizes
traffic hazards and insures to the driv-
er a better vision, besides adding to
the graceful appearance of the car
It also gives the body greater rigid
ty, lessons body vibration and elimi-
mates the squeaks and rattles result
ing from mortised wood joints.
Steel being impervious to fire, nat
urally this new construction reduces
hazards from this danger. It's greater
strength is also an added safety rae
tor against collision shocks that woulo
destroy coachwork Of wood and Steel
The lighter weight of the new design
as compared to the composite oooy
types also renders possible greater
economies in gasoline and tires.

Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, May

chicago, May 3.
Decided higher prices here for wheat
resulted today from an unexpected ad-
vance in Liverpool quotations and
from an unofficial extreme low esti-
mate of the probable yield of domestic
winter wheat. as well as from an in
correct belief that the United States
government crop report this afternoon
would indicate a winter wheat harvest
of 35,000,000 bushels or less. Closing
prices of wheat were unsettled q to
41c net higher. May 1854 to 1.G9 and
July 1.56 to 1.56a. with corn II to &c
up, oats showing 1c to 1sc gain and
provisions varying from sc decline to
soc advance.
Government figures regarding crops
and the production expected were UNI
available until nearly two hours after
the wheat market here had closed for
the day. Meanwhile, right at the
opening the trade was confronted by
the fact that values at Liverpool had
risen sharply. whereas setback there
had been looked for. The upturn in
Liverpool quotations was ascrihed to
a falling off in the volume of ship
ments from Argentina and to pros
poets that a material reduction in the
amount of wheat on ocean passage
would be shown next Monday. Another
stimulus to buying here was the fact
that a recognized trade authority had
estimated the 1925 domestic winter
wheat yield at only 3S1,000,000 BUSH
els.
Considerable enlargement IF export
business helped further to lift wheat
prices here. and so. too. did knowl-
edge that exporters were bidding more
for spring wheat, at Minneapolis ard
Duluth than Chicago handlers would
paw to bring, the grain here. On the
other hand. rains renorted from over
most OF the wheat belt failed to act
as an offset. Ts =,
Corn and oats moved IN with wheat
Besides, receipts both of corn ard oats
were light. domestic shipning demend
for corn was better. and there was eX-
port business in oats.
Provisions averaged higher. reflect
ing the advance of grain ard hogs.

De FAIR WITH EACH
OTHER
BY ERWIN GREER
president Greer College Of Auto

president Greer COilege OF Auto.
motive Engineering, Chicngo)
Hey" yelled the motorist to the
pedestrian whom he had Just
knocked down and run over, Take
a look at my brakes and see IL
they're dragging, will you?"
Somewhat overdrawn possibly but
any pedestrian will tell you that he
wouldn't put it above an automo-
bile driver to do such a thing.
And the motorist, himself, would
say: why don't those birds watch
their step, do they think that we are
mind readers?" Right here is the
whole situation-lack of courtesy.
Does the pedestrian thank the
motorist who throws on his brakes
and allows him to cross safely from
the curb and catch a trolley that Is
to get him to the train on time?
Yes, we have no bananas! Does
the automobile driver wave
acknowledgment to the pedestrian
who goes cut Of his way to make
things easier When the car driver
is trying to steer through con-
gested street? No, he does rot!
Consequently both driver and ped
cstrian are to blame and little
courtesy would aid them to shield
the public from preventable traffic
accidents.
But there IS no excuse for the
jay-walker. A large percentage OF
accidents in the congested shopping
districts are directly traceable to
the disregard of the public that
cross at street corners.
My advise to pedestrians Is to
look up and down and behind, be-
fore crossing any street. Avoid
lodging in front of machines, real
lie that the longest line Of traffic
seldom takes more than thirty
seconds to pass and that 1t is better
to lose thirty seconds than a leg.
Even the faithfully careless auto
mobile driver will have trouble in
harming you il you take the slight
amount of care necessary to protect
yourself.
Just plumb your faith of human
fty tank with the old Golden Rule
and see how it works out. Take
a chance and give the other fellow
the right OF way, even when 1t
doesn't belong to him, or give him
the "go-ahead" signal. It's a hun
dred-to-ore shot that he'll grin and
wave for You to go first. But the
moral effect will cause him to
watch out for the next driver and
offer some little courtesy that will
mako this other chap feel good.
Once such a system is started there
won't BE any end to it and the roads
will be a wonderful place to ride
on until along Genes some bird
who has no place to go and wants
to get there in q hurry, and then
1t is all off. All off, unless you
realize that sooner or later this
bird will run up against a snag
which will necessltate some extra
yards Of gauze and a couple of
doctors. IN other words do your
best to make driving safer and the
law Of averages will take care OF
the rest.

Gets $4,000 a Year

Religion Without A Label'' is
the keynote at headquarters of the
Universalist laymen who are raising
Special Gifts Fund to be used for
philanthropy without regard to race,
creed or color. The most recent do
nation made from this fund is that
of $4,000 to the Turkish American
Club, and with it was given the as
suranee that $4,000 year for the
next five years at least was forth
coming.
Under the leadership of Arthur
Nash, nationally known as Golden
Rule Nash, the lay members of the
Universalist Church, believing that
great opportunities for constructive
work existed in Turkey. listened re-
Gently with interest to the remarks
of DIR. Fred F. Goodsell of Constanti5
nople. AS a result, they are actively
completing plans for missionary
work in that country. The unusual
feature of this missionary work win
be that it will not even bear the
label of Christianity" but will have
for its object the Brotherhood Of
| Man without any religious sect pre-
dominating.
The Turkish America club will
operate along the lines of the Y. N.
c. A. and Y. w. C. A. in this coun.
try. Buildings will be erected At
Angora and other strategic points in
Turkey. The Y. M. c. A. has agreed
to finance the personnel at the va
