says factory officials, "but they have
called insistently for the open tour
ing and the larger sedan bodies: so
that We have made special effort to
add these models as speedily as ia.
cilities would permit, in order to meet
verv obvious demand.
with these two additional models
the Diana now offers a choice in body
design to meet every motoring require-

OIL INDUSTRY LEADING
MOTOR TRUCK USE R

The oil industry probably is the
largest user of motor trucks. thou
sands being utilized both in the pro-
duction and marketing of oil. An idea
Of the extent TO which the industry
relies on trucks is furnished by rec
ords of the White Company showing
that Sc oil companies operate in ex-
cess Of 5000 White trucks in fleets
of ten or more.
Thousands Of other Whites serve
the industry in fleets of less than ten.
The largest White truck fleet owner
is the Gulf Refining Company with

ment Of more than $5.000,000. Six
teen oil companies operate more than
100 White trucks each.

AUTO CREATES
WIDER SCOPE
FOR GOLF
100000 on Links Of
5000 Clubs Result Of
Pleasant Travel.
By w. p. BATES

Golf has changed the home life and
habits of more than a million Ameri-
can families during the past decade.
but golf on such an enormous scale
has been made possible by the auto
mobile. Without this pleasant and
convenient means of travel-as en-
joyable as the game itself-only a
small fraction of the one and one
half million golfers in this country.
members Of more than 5000 clubs, ever
would have become habitues of the
links. No one cares to walk any dis
lance to course, and then walk
around 1t for several miles, swatting
and pursuing a ball, and neither
steamroads nor trolley could ever have
inveigled the number of people out
to the golf courses who may now I've
seen daily engaged in the popular
Scotch pastime.
CHANGED LIFE.
In stating that the game has
changed the home life of a million or
more American families it is not
necessarily meant that all members
of those families are players. 1t will
be found, however, that much of the
family routine is changed to suit the
convenience of its one golf playing
member. For example, the early sun
day afternoon dinner, which formerly
was great institution in the Ameri.
can home, with the entire family
around the festive board, is now very
largely in the discard. The meal is
more likely to be eaten at the CoIn-
try Club in an interim of rest from
teaching little white, balls to roll
around, or it may be in the form Of n
sandwich and glass of milk at stand
on public park course.
If women members of the family
play golf that means there will be
fewer pies, biscuits and cakes baked
than formerly. Golf has resulted in
so many vacant places at mealtime
that housewives have ceased to expect
that all members of the family will
eat dinner together unless the meal is
served after dark.
GOLF FOR ALL.
This custom is by no means con.
fined to the wealthy nor to those who
can afford country clubs. Thousands
Of people who drive cheap or medium
priced cars play golf regularly on
public links in dozens Of cities. AT
n municipal links one can usually see
long line of cars belonging to pep
pie who have driven long distances
to enjoy their eighteen holes or NOR.
All of this leads to the conclusion that
there is much less time spent sitting
around the house in smoking jacket
or kimona, growing fat and lazy, as
was the case a generation back.

TWO TOWNS CLAIMING
GIBBONS AS NATIVE
Tercentenary of Famous Music
Composer Revives Rivalry Be-
tween Oxford and Cambridge.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

OXFORD, England. August 15.-
The tercentenary Of Orlando Gibbons
one of the most famous of Tudor
musicians and composers. has re-
vived the old claims which both Ok
ford and Cambridge make as his
native town.
1t has long been known that Glib
bons became a chorister at King g
Chapel, Cambridge, at the age of IL
and that Cambridge gave him a de-
gree in music when, at the age Of 81,
he became organist to the Chapel
Royal, and these facts were taken as
disproving the oxford claim. BY ac-
cident chance searcher in the
records of the City Church of Oxford
has found an entry of the baptism
of Orlando Gibbons under date Of De-
cember %, 1888, and as the name Is
no usual one it seems certain that
the entry refers to the great church
composer.
In his own time Gibbons was known
more as an organist than as a COM
poser, for he had the best hand in
England" His compositions are few.
but they are declared unsurpassed in
dignity. propriety and beauty. His
anthems. "Oh. Clap Your Hands,"
"Hosanna" and Almighty and Ever
lasting" and his madrigals, THE Sill
yer Swan" and oh. That the Learned
Poets" are regarded the high points
of the ancient, simple and musical art
of England.

TOLEDO BLUE JAY EATS
OUT OF CAPTOR'S HAND
Cellar Furnace Pipe Seems Exact
ly to Suit Him for
Sleeping.

Toledo possesses the only blue jay
in captivity that sleeps on furnace
pipes, says the Toledo Blade. He
walks, squawks and flies like any
other blue jay. but he's tame, he's
tame.
Blueie-or Blooey, the spelling is i'm.
material-eats corn out of his master >
hand. The birds young friend Is Jack
S-erling. IA years old, son Of MIR. and
Mrs. Frank Sterling of 1896 Hazel
hurst avenue.
Jack carries a Blade route and puts
in his spare time showing Blueie
around.
The blue Jay was roosting on q
porch roof near Jacks home Sunday
afternoon. and had tired and hungry
look. Jack noticed the forlorn aspect
Of the bird and offered him a piece Of
candy. Blueie sampled it and then
waited while Jack went into his house
for breadcrumbs.
Blueie followed his benefactor
around the rest of the day, sitting on
his shoulder or in his hand.
Jack showed Blueie to his chamber
in the basement, and the new member
Of the family made himself comforta-
BILE on a furnace pipe.
Next morning Blueie flew out and
squawked a good morning to Jack.
Throughout. the day he followed the
boy. The jay tolerates other persons.
but doesn't want to be handled by
them. He rests quite contentedly,
though, in Jacks hand. Blueie Is a
downy youth, but flies well and
squawks powerfully.

SALES SHOW GERMAN
POTASH TRADE HUGE
Vast Increase Over Pre.War Bulk
Is Indicated by Reports of
Production.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.


BERLIN, August 14-Potash con-
Germs are among the very few Ger
man industries that have not suf-
fered materially as a result of the
postwar financial and industrial
crisis. The noy only have not suf-
fered, but have succeeded in almost
tripling their business.
During the first six months Of the
year 1925 the amount of potash sold
by the German industries amounted
to 100000 tons. which is almost three
times the amount disposed of during
the Same period OF the preceding
year. and also represents a vast in
crease over the total of $4,000 tons
of the pre-war record year of 1913.
Every ounce of the stock left over
from last Winter has been sold and
all the concerns today are working
at full blast.
This showing of the German potash
business is regarded as quite remark
able in view Of the fact that Ger
many's world monopoly of the busi-
ness suddenly was broken by the loss
of the Alsatian mines in France, fol.
lowed by the discovery of promising
potash deposits in Texas. Spain, Cali

cia, the Balkans. Mexico and else
where.
AS to the competitive menace likely
to emanate from the newly discov-
cred deposits in other parts of the
world. opinions in German potash cir
cles are divided. The heads of one
group ridicule the idea Of these new
potash finds proving competitive in
the near. future, since, in consequence
Of the extraordinary potash demand,
the reopening of abandoned pits is
being considered. On the other hand,
the heads of the other group, repre-
sented by Director Rossberg of the
powerful Winterhall concern, are in
clined to view this prospective for
eign competition with some uneasi-
ness.
To counteract such a danger, per-
haps, the Winterhall concern has
started the chemical refining of pot
ash on large scale. At Kaiserroda,
on the -Werra, chloride of potas-
SUM factory is being erected at the
cost of several million dollars, which
promises to become one Of the largest
chemical enterprises in Germany.

PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA
COSTS $500 FOR MORO
Countless Beggars Line Way From
Zamboanga to Mahometan
Holy City.

The story of a Moro's pilgrimage to
Mecca. showing the entire expenses
from Zamboanga to the Mohametan
holy city, which amount to approx
mately $500 per individual, has just
been received from Mindanao, says
the Manila Times in a recent issue.
From Cotabato to Zamboanga the
passage money was So. From Fam
Doango to Singapore 1t was $11.5O
At Singapore we went to Sheik
House. Here we paid $35 each and
we could stay as long as we liked
That is until the steamer came to
take us on. We were furnished with
two meals free of charge, the rest
of the time we boarded in the mar
ket place.
From Singapore we embarked for
Jeddah. There were a lot of other
pilgrims on the boat from all ports
of Malaysia. We called at Penang,
where lot more Joined. All togeth-
er, when we left Penang that steam
er had 1000 pilgrims on board.
I'VE paid s1625O from Singapore
to Jeddah. The steamer did not fur
nish us with food. We took our own
supplies with us, as well as cooking
utensils. The steamer furnished us
our own food. Sometimes there
would be from 800 to 400 fires cook
Ing at once in the between decks,
each party cooking for themselves.
1T was a long trip across the
ocean. For days and days we saw
nothing but the sea and the skies.
Al last we stopped at a place called
Perrin. Here we took on large guam
titles of coal. This was about IS
days after We left Penang Some
ships take much longer, but our
ship was fast. From Perrin we went
to place called Kamasia, the quar-
antine port for Jeddah. Here the
doctor inspected us and we were all
getting mighty impatient to go on.
From Jeddah we paid Sc for mules
to take us to Mecca. Two persons
can ride on one mule. The road is
just strewn with beggars. Not hun
dreds or thousands, but just so many
that you cannot count them. You
are bound to give to every one you
meet. Who would not give literally
when so near Mecca?
we stayed in Mecca about two
weeks-visited all the places of wor-
ship and prayed night and morning
and sometimes in between.
1T takes II days to go on a mule
from Mecca to Marina, where Ma
homet's tomb lies. 1t is a very te-
dious journey really, two persons on
a mule travelling through this hot.
desolate country, but pilgrims are so
intent on where they are going that
any discomforts are turned into
pleasure.
"One thousand pesos is just about
SUFFICIENT. Five of our party-three
old men and two boys-died on the
pilgrimage, and we left three behind
in Mecca who were receiving In.

Now You Have It!

(Answers to last weeks questions)
1. The "gyroscopic couple" is the
name of a force arising from the
flywheel action of a front wheel and
its tire. One wheel is pressed down
against the road while the other
tends to fly up in the air, the action
reversing if the swing of the wheels
is reversed.
2. Front wheels will wobble as
easily on smooth road as on a
rough one. exhaustive tests show.
Tire elasticity, determined by air
pressure, and the design of the
steering assembly and front springs
are responsible for wheel wobble.
8. Gasoline tank wagons and
trucks dangle chain from the
frame to the ground to carry off any
static electricity that might be
generated by the disturbance of the
fuel.
4. Front wheels tend to turn out
when going over a bump because
the ball-end of the steering arm. in
rising up, must steer the wheels a
little to one side at the same time.

new scheme an engine enjoys the
advantage of high pressure when ac-
celebrating as well as when running
fast.
Engineers were somewhat disap-
pointed over the last minute with
drawal of two racing cars embody-
ing the single sleeve type of motor
which were scheduled to enter the
500-mile race at Indianapolis Me-
mortal Day. Predictions are, how
ever, that this new type of moter
will be seen under the hoods OF
some American cars next January
in auto show time.
The belief is gaining headway in
engineering circles that the auto
mobile does not have enough wheels.
Early locomotives were of the four
wheel variety, and it is intimated
that the present autom obile is just
about as far behind the times. The
idea of the wheel motor buses
now seen in many cities is that the
rear of the machine receives only
the average of the four individual
jolts of the rear wheels. 1t is now
proposed to further reduce the
average by using four wheels for
the front Of a car.

1t has hooks on each end that grip

the battery with both hands and
with the aid of your body you can

Most battery boxes break because
the clamps are too tight. The box is

turn, is caused by carelessness in

What's the Ideal Brake?

Opinions differ widely as to the
best brake, and those who nave
studied all designs carefully are OF
the opinion that it may have to be a
compromise. One recipe forN the
ideal brake is as follows:
Brake bands on all four wheels,
operated hydraulically.
Front wheel brakes internal ex-
panding, completely enclosed, rear
wheel brakes external contracting.
Front brakes larger than rear.
This permits of equalized force at
the bands due to the hydraulic con-
troll, and provides for protection Of
front brake lining and compensation
due to expansion of the bands
through heat.
