Great Peace-time War Ma
neuver to Take Place at
Hawaii, April IL.
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-As the
first grey lights of dawn break
through the mists on April IL they
will be met by a gigantic fan OF
roaring airplanes rising out OF the
sea from the mainland on the first
nonstop flight to Hawaii. On that
day the Hawaiian Islands will be
attacked" by sea and air by the
combined forces of the United
States Pacific battle fleet in what
is expected to be the greatest war
maneuver ever carried out by an
armed force.
While the battle, fleet below Is
being cleared for action" and
using the destroyer line as a con-
voy, three long-distance scouts CT
the Air Force will attempt TO
carry direct aerial aid to the he.
sieged Hawaiian air defenders IN
the nonstop flight. The purposes
of this flight will be to determine
the possibility of raising Ha-
waiian siege by air assistance from
the home forces, to test tae
capability Of the new navy three
purpose" planes, to examine aero
logical conditions over the Pacific
and to secure for the navy the
honor Of the first continuous cross
ing.
Shenandoah To Go
While the flight will be under the
general command of Admiral Rob-
ert e. eCoontz, Commanderin-Chie
of the United States high-seas
fleets; Rear Admiral w. A. Mof-
fett, Chief of the Bureau Of Aero
nautics, will personally fly to the
Pacific ON the second transconti-
mental flight of the United States
airship Shenandoah. The big dirigi-
BILE also will accompany the fleet 20
Hawaii and cooperate in the plane
flight by acting as Weather Bu-
reau loft.
The Weather Bureau below will
be the United States steamship
Langley, which will be under or
ders to radio direct to the "Chief
of Air daily observations.
Tho airsl1;ps to fly the course are
what are known as navy three
purpose" planes (torpedoing, scout
and bombingl and are very SINH
lar to the planes which flew aronnd
the world.
Complete Adventure
The flight will be a complete ad-
vGnture in weather forecasting at

sea, and every instrument known
to the aerographic science will be
provided to facilitate accurate read
ings and diagnoses of the weather,
not only for the flight, but Tor ali
air operations about Hawaii.
In charge of these aerographlc
operations will be Lieutenant Fen
II. Wyatt, one of the navy's best
known and most efficient officers
in this line. He will have WITH
him group of chief petty oI1lcers
and nefty officers-all graduates OF
the naval theological schools
The Shenandoah's movement to
Hawaii is not considered difficult,
for the ship, if necessary, should
be able to make several round trips
without stopping.
# is expected that the former
Zenpelin engineers now with the
Goodyear Dayton plants will be the
E2hter-than-air forces.

By international News Service.

COLUMBUS, S. c., Jan. 3d.
The past two years have witnessed
an agricultural revolution in South

and the downfall Of King Cotton.
Cotton, the once all-important
crop Of this state, has given way
to a Statewide cow, hog, hen"

ways ignored with skepticism by
the farmers. have come into impor-
tance overnight.
For the past twelve years the
Extension Service Of South Caro-
lima has been hammering on crop
diversification as q fortification
against the invasion Of the boil
weevil, and now that goal has been
reached. The problems Of market
ing have been wrestled with when
they came into being, and it is now
recognized that, some Of the most
effective pioneer work in market
ing new crops systematically and
comparatively has been accomplish
ed through the different county
marketing associations scattered
throughout the state.
Big Peach Shipments.
During the past two years peach
shipments have nearly run into
three figures; apples moved in car
lots from this State for the first
time in it's history; thousands of
cars Of corn and hay were shipped;
two cars OF grapes were shipped
for the first time.
In Clarendon and Sumter coun.
ties, canneries sprang up over
night. One was located at Man
ming, one at Summerton and an
other at Sumter. During the bean
and tomato seasons carload after
carload Of these products was
shipped to the Northern and West
ern markets, even as far as Cali
fornia.
Not only were beans and toma-
toes canned, but also spinach and
potatoes. During the winter
months, Florida grapefruit was
canned and shipped all over the
United States.
Boil WeeViI Blamed
This change in agricultural
methods was due primarily to the
coming of the boil weevil, agricul-
tural experts said. The enormous
cotton production was crippled,
and as q result of this the farmers

The success of this truck move
ment in farming was made possible
by the numerous m a T. k t / n z

POLICE SEEKING PARENTS
OF DEAD BABY BOY

Police of the Eighth precinct are
trying to determine the identity OF
the baby boy who was found in
front. of 1448 Clifton street north,
west yesterday, wrapped IN old
newspapers. They are working on
meagre clues. Meanwhile the body
has been taken to the morgue
where it will stay for a week.
Police believe the body was
thrown to the street from a NOV
ing auto If so it will be almost
impossible to trace. The paper in
which the body was wrapped was
about a year old.

the last performance.
Albany DemOralized.
Blanketed under a foot Of snow
and with wind blowing at times
fifty and sixty miles an hour, all
traffic in Albany, including trolley,
rail and automobile, was completely
demoralized. Streets were blocked
by huge drifts in some places eight
and ten feet deeu.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-New York
skidded and sloshed to work today.
Following an inch and-a-half snow
fall late yesterday, heavy rain last
night turned streets and sidewalks
into treacherous paths Of slush and
ice.
Although 10000 men were reported
at work clearing the streets, the
continued fall and freezing weather
has made the work difficult.

STANDARDIZATION OF CAR
SERVICE BOOSTS MOTORING

Establishing automobile service in
the United States on an efficient
basis is one of the most important
contributions yet to be made to mo-
tor transport progress, in the opinion
of II. C. s. Smith, San Antonio,
Firestone service dealer.
1t is impossible TO estimate, ac-
cording to Mr.. Smith, the millions of
dollars that are lost annually in this
country on account OF motor trans
portation units being held up on the
road and in the shop for lack Of eff
ficient service.
Service today" he said, has come
to loom forth as one Of the most i'm
portant factors in the use OF automO-
bilcs. l am not oyerpaint'ng the
picture. When we realize the vast
number of automobiles and trucks that
are in use in the United States to-
day and their need rOr adequate SER
vice, we get a better understanding
Of the problem.

serious and they must be alleviated,

ters. but not even secondary 10 this

MOON BEING FORCED
TO STEP-UP OUTPUT

The enthusiastic public reception
given the new Moon cars for 1926,
which were announced last week, fol-
lowed by an unusually large number
of orders from distributors and deal
ers throughout the country, has made
necessary a drastic revision upward
in the present Moon Six production
schedule, according to Frederick IL.
Rengers, general sales manager Of the
Moon Motor Car Company, says the
Embleton Motor Company here.
Rengers further said:
This unprecedented demand for the
new Moon cars for 1926, is unequaled
by any previous record of this organl-
cation and it means day and night
work at our plant at full capacity in
order to take care of the rush OF Or
ders on the new Moon 1926 models.
We are daily receiving by wire, phone
and mail, urgent requests from our dis
tributors and dealers all over the
country to have their orders filled,
many Of them stating that their stocks
on hand are exhausted even now, one
week after the introduction Of the new
Moon cars for 1926. Many Of our
dealers in anticipation Of the big de-
mand for the new Moon cars for 1926
had previously stocked extra cars on
these new models but in large num-
Der Of cases this precaution has failed
TO take care of the demand. During
the past week we have had at the
plant an unusually large number of
dealers, nearly all Of whom urgently
requested us to fill their orders 50
that they could drive the cars out at
once. Our production schedule has
been stepped up so that we will DO
everything humanity possible to take
care Of all orders as quickly as pos
sible.
"Following closely upon the Diana
s. the introduction Of the new Moon
cars for 1926 has simply taxed the
factory's ability to produce enough
cars and at the present time there are
a large number Of untitled orders on
hand for both the Diana S and the
new Moon cars for 1926"

is the question of providing prompt
and reliable service.
a number of things must be &c
complished before we even approach
n real working basis. Service stations
must be located right and built right
to accommodate the motoring public.
They must be equipped with the latest
time and money.making machinery
to give prompt and reliable service.
Service station attendants and re-
pair men must know their work and
be ale to advise motorists and truck
ers on their problems of operation.
There must be mt least an attempt TO
arrive at n Standardization of work.
THE great majority of motorists,
and in fact, good many truck OPP
orators, are unacluaintcd with the
problems of operating their equip
mcnt. They must rely upon the ser
vice men. Unless these men are COM
petent to aid them, time and money
arc lost.

SPEED TRUCK STOPS
DISTRIBUTION PROBLEM

Merchants and business men gen
orally are becoming more and more
impressed with the fact that one of
the most vital elements in merchan-
dising success is control of distribu-
tion," says w. p. Baker, branch
manager Of REQ Motor Car company,
this city.
"They recognize that, in addition
to having a well-made and well-known
product, they must have the means
Of getting it to the points where de-
mand exists before substitutes are
thrown on the market and competitors
reap the harvest.
ITO innumerable concerns faced
with this transportation problem the
Speed Wagon has been a genuine
benefactor. Any number of examples
of this phase of the service rendered
by the Speed Wagon can be cited.
"For instance, n large daily paper
in one of the largest cities in the
world publishes several editions each
day, each succeeding edition coming
from the press within an almost in
credibly short space Of time after the
last one. Most Of the days produc-
ton and distribution of newspapers
occurs within four or five hours, and
the major portion of the circulation
covers an area with radius of %
miles from the newspaper office.
"Motor trucks, most Of them Speed
Wagons, enable the publishers TO
place their editions ON news stands and
in the hands of carriers at points
scattered throughout the city and its
suburbs. The operation is fast, de-
pendable and economical, and it fur
nishes the solution to a major prob
lem for a business, which, according
to one of the company's executives,
depends on speed
Bakeries supplying fresh baked
goods TO large communities each day
have a big distribution problem-Or
did have one. Now, thousands of
them are equipped with Speed Wagons
and Speed Wagon fleets that enable
them to place their fresh products on
the shelves Of neighborhood stores at
an early hour every day."

Guiding the peculiar formation on the
sides which at one time might have
been hay or reed covering lead anna
teur archelogosist to suspect ''pre-
historic bootleggers." Everything is
there but the smell and a hidden but
petrified still may yet be uncovered
near the grave Of the supposedly
dead soldier" The stopper resembled
a corn cob i'll appearance but is solid
rock.
The conservatives. on the other
hand, had rather lay the matter in
the lap of Nature and Father Time
and call the bOttle-shaped rock a work
of water and limestone.
Anyway Mr.. Robertson found the
interesting rock while on an auto trip
recently. Climbing a mountain he
found fifteen-foot hole in the center
of a rock dome at the top. In this he
found a cave. The jug rock was broken
from its formation. Mr.. Robertson,
who enjoys delving into the hidden
hooks of nature said he was compelled
to stretch prone on the flooring of the
cave and wriggle his way through a
very narrow passage into q great
chamber far under the earth where
among other curious formations. he
found the jug" He said this cave
room gave evidence of once having
been occupied by human beings but
everything in it was coated with de-
posts of lime evidently left by water
dripping from the walls and roof and
it was so dark mad spooky that in
vestigations were carried on with diff
ficulty. He used an electric flash light
and proceeded cautiously but the only
thing he found that could be removed
through the narrow exit was this re-
markable jug. He probably will send
it to Smithsonian Institution.
