MOTORING
in SHANGHAI
By ERWIN E
president Greer College of
Automotive Engineering)

A friend Of mine returned the other
day from Shanghai, China, and the
tale of the motoring laws in Shanghai
may be interesting to Chicago motor
lists.
In the first place, traffic runs along
the left side of the street, which is
opposite to the American custom.
There are so many Cinnamon On
the streets that one would naturally
suppose the law would require the
motorist to drive slowly. They may
drive as fast as they vision the
contrary, it is up to the cooIie tC
get out of the way. However, if the
motorist happens to bump a high
class Chinaman or a foreigner-woe
unto him-for the law takes its full
course and for such an offense the
motorist will, nine times out Of ten
find himself in Jail, and Shanghai
jails aren't very nice when one shares
them with numerous coolies.
Few accessories are used on car:
in the Orient, but then the cars are
for the most part, not worth dollinl
up. As long as they run on all fOu,

through the manufacture and
use of automobiles.
"An appreciation of these figures
is had from comparison with other
commodities. The extent of the
wheat crop has always been watched
as a barometer of railroad prosper
ity. The interstate commerce COM
mission complete carload statistics of
1923 credit wheat with 572,394 car
leads and corn 400, 724 carloads.
"Bar and sheet iron, structural
iron and iron pipe 1882 carloads,
brick and artificial stone 532,513 car
loads, are among the leading ship
pers, while refined petroleum and it's
products which include gasoline ship
ments, heads manufactured articles
with 1,506, 800 carloads.
"TOtal carload shipments Of man
ufactured articles in 1923 were TO-
266,677 carloads"

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK.
IT'S Grandmother's Recipe TO
Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. Il
makes or mars the face. When It
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two Of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance a hum
dredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe inn
proved BY the addition of other ingre-
dents at a small cost, all ready for use.
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound. This can always be de-
pended upon to bring back the natural
color and lustre Of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a. sponge OF soft
brush with it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning t9e. gray hair has
disappeared, and after another applica-
ton It becomes beautifully dark and
appears glossy and lnstrous.

plus a reasonable profit for manu-
facturer and dealer. There is no
margin that permits us to sell at a
discount
"Mr. Haynes also pointed out that
it would be entirely unfair to the in
dividual buyer if he were asked to
pay a higher price fer his car just to
make it possible for Dodge Brothers
to attract large buyers through the
quantity discount. Moreover, he said,
the company that buys 1000 Dodge
Brothers cars already has an advan-
.tage over the individual who buys ore,
because the natural advantages of
Dodge Brothers ownership are multi
piled a thousand times:
"What happened to the order for
1000 cars? It is still in the desk of
the same official and he never fails to
show it to any Dodge Brothers sales
man who happens to call. But he is
still buying Dodge Brothers cars
buying as he bought before.
"Like other nationally known con-
Germs, he realizes that the savings
effected through the long life and
lcw-cost service of Dodge Brothers
motor cars win more than offset any
discount that might be obtained on
a car of less obvious merit"

few in history.
Yet the incident referred tc-about
the signed order for 1000 cars-actu-
ally happened. And what makes it
remarkable is the fact that the sales
man turned it down!
C. H. jennings, Dodge Brothers
dealer in New York City, throws some
clarifying light on this puzzler. He
says:
''This Dodge Brothers salesman had
been working for several years on a
large national account company
that operates cars by the thousands,
in every part of the country. The
company was buying Dodge cars reg
ularly, ten, fifteen and twensy and
more at a time. On several occasions
the chief buyer had made the remark
that, If you fellows would only grant
a discount, as others do, we might
order in larger los
"The salesman, of course, pointed
out the ~desirability of buying 1000
cars anyhow, regardless OF Dodge
Brothers nc-discount policy, but the
executive declined to recede from his
position. The latter then prepared
what he afterwards referred to as
his psychological coup. He knew thai
the salesman would be calling agar
so he had an imposing documen'
drawn up calling fer the delivery, a
I a specified date, Of 1000 DodgI
Brothers Motor Cars of various types
, at full list price-minus 10 per cent
"When the salesman called, a fey
weeks later, the official simply hand
2 ed him the order.
""That's serious said the officia
o 1--WE need ears and we want Dodg
Brothers cars, but you can't have Il

repairing is imperative, only that
work is done which is absolutely rec
essary.
The roads are narrow and con-
structed Of cobblestones, except in a
small downtown district. Cars and
tires do not last very long there.
The traffic officers are Sikh police
men, who stand at the man corners
in a sort of detected name and wave
their hands spasmodically, first in one
direction and then in the other. Rick
shas, machines and street cars wait
impatiently sometimes while a Sikh
policeman settles a dispute among
some coolies, then, with a start,
wakes up and sends the held-up traf-
fic on once again.
Most machines don't seem capable
of breaking any speed laws. How

-why this Sale?

When you realize that on January 1, our
stock of Winter Apparel was sufficient for
a normal three months business it is easy
to understand our necessity for conducting
an unloading and Clearance Sale" on a
magnitude beyond any which we nave pre-
viously undertaken.
This fact, coupled with our dire need for
money with which to pay our manufacture
ers, explains why we are offering so many
items at below cost.
1t is impracticable to carry merchandise
from one season to another. Styles may
change, and aside from this fact, the
Frantz Shop has a reputation for always
having new, fresh stock to show its Gus
toners each season, and beyond every
thing else, we pride ourselves on always
having something new and different"
Briefly, we must do three months bust
ness in one-this is why you can obtain
such marvellous bargains in every depart
ment at this store.

RADIO PATENT WORK
TO GET MORE ROOM.
Flood of Applications Requires
More Than Double Space
Now Allotted.

The radiant energy division OF the
Patent Office is soon to spread itself
in new quarters more than twice the
size Of it's present headquarters.
With the increase of personnel in
this division made during the past six
months and the pruning OF the activi-
ties of the section until 1t now in
cludes only radio and telephony-so
closely interviewer that their separa-
tion is impossible-Commi er
Thomas E. Robertson said today that
in it's new home the staff soon will
clear it's files of pending cases
In the past year, according to Com
missioner Robertson, the radiant en-
ergy division has caught up approx
mately two months and half or Its
back work and has now on it's docket
no case which is more than about
five months old At one time before
the office had had an opportunity to
adjust itself to the flood of radio
the radiant energy section was al
most a year and a half behind in its
final action on new cases.
Since Commissioner Robertson be-
came head of the Patent once the
radiant energy division has grown
until now, with the possible excep-
ton Of the automobile, the radio is
the greatest OF the many lures to the
inventor.
AT present 2,211 applic9 tons for

Don't Try to Travel Too Fast.

This article is addressed primarily
to those who are just about ready TO
start in the radio game; not so much
those who are about ready to buy
factory made sets, but to those who
are about to try their skill at roll
ing their own.
Unless you are more or less skilled
in mechanical and electrical work do
not attempt to build a superhetero-
dyne the very first thing.
No matter how clearly the instruc-
tions are given or how simple the
layout that is used, a novice at con-
structing radio sets is bound to slip
up in some particular.
If you build a simple set to start
with, tracing the trouble is very easy,
because there are only a few places
to look for it.
If you build a large set, however,
you are always more or less at a
loss where to look for your trouble,
and in some cases, even If you are
told where the trouble might be, 1t
will be difficult to locate 1t.
Radio set building is like any other
art. Proficiency cannot be expected
in a day or in a week or even in a
month.
Like anything else, practice and
that certain undefinable knack are
required to produce the expert, and
you might as well know 1t now that
If you want the pleasure of boasting
about the fine results you can obtain
in building your own set the best
way to go about it is to cart from
the very bottom.
You may begin by building a sim
pie crystal or one-tube set. Then If
you have hard luck and cannot get 1t
to work it will be simple matter TO
localize your trouble and find out
what is wrong.
If you don't get it right the first
time, the effort and expense involved
will not be very much, and you can
do the job all over again without any
considerable loss of money or pa
thence.
If, however, you start right OIL
with superheterodyne without
knowing anything at all about the
theory on which the circuit is based

or the method used in testing the
various parts for trouble, you are
stuck with a large set on your hands
with which you are absolutely un-
familiar and are at a loss what to do
to try to locate your trouble and what
to do to remedy it.
You don't buy car and then just
monkey around" with it until you
learn all about its innards.
You take lessons in driving 1T; get
all the information you can about the
peculiarities of the various parts; find
out when and how to change the oil
| and how to lubricate IT, and after you
are at least on speaking terms with
the various parts and their functions
you begin to adjust here and there
| until you finally come to know just
what effect each adjustment produces,
and what each noise and knock. indi-
Gates
The set builder has this advantage
over the car owner. He can start with
a very simple set and gradually work
up to the more complicated ones,
while the car owner must take his
car all at one time.
Radio is no exception to the gen.
eral rule. Proficiency is gained only
by experience, and don't let any one tell
you different.
If you want further proof just ask
any hardened veteran in the art what
results he got out of his first set.
If your friend has any regard for
| the truth he will invariably tell you
that since he first hooked up a set he
| has made other sets, using exactly
| the same hookup that he used in his
| first set, but that the peculiar thing
| about the whole business is that he
| got very poor results with the first
| set he made, but very good results
| with others that he made later.
| The circuit was the same; the parts
also the same, but the later models
worked much better. The only differ
ence was his experience.
This also applies If you do not get
| good results from your first set. Do
/ not jump at the conclusion that the
| circuit is bad. The trouble may be
| due to your lack of experience. Make
| the set over, several times If neces-
sary, and note the improvement every
! time you make it over.

Adding Water to Battery

If water is added to the storage
"A" battery when it is nearly dis
charged. it is likely to run out -
the vents in the filler caps when the
battery reaches full charge. This is
due to the quantity of small gas
bubbles which form in the solution
and greatly increase its bulk. In
most batteries the separators between
the plates extend up above the level
of the top edge of the plates so that
it is only necessary to keep the acid
solution just above the separators
Water can be added after the battery
is fully charged.

Brazil still prohibits radio trans

of having the radio prohibition re-
moved so that broadcasting stations
may be built. There is a radio-tele-
graph station in the city, but it is
used by the government for the trans
of federal code messages only
