ON NAVAL BUILDING
%, 100000 Yen Appropriation to
Be Spread Over Longer
Period of Time.

TOXIC, November 6.-Viseount
KatO, the premier, has arranged
compromise between the finance and
navy departments, which had been
unable to agree on the navy depart
mentS proposal for an appropriation
of % 900 900 yen to replace auxiliary
naval vessels. This was disclosed in
official circles today.
Under the compromise the amount
of the appropriation will not be
changed, but will be spread over a
longer period than the five years pro-
posed by the navy department. As
a consequence, only small sum will
be available for naval construction
during 1926, and this will be expended
in replacing few destroyers.
The compromise. it is believed, has
averted a cabinet crisis, Admiral
Takarahe, naval minister. it is re
ported, having threatened to resign
unless the appropriation was approved.

Bureau DisclOses
Why Soles of Shoes
Differ in Quality

The Bureau of Standards has a
remedy for the provoking propen-
sity of the sole of one shoe to wear
out faster than the other. After
considerable research in the mat
ter, ii informs the man with hole
in only one shoe that 1t would not
have happened if the leather in
his two soles had come from the
same part of the hide.
Shoe manufacturers have been
requested to take note of the now
established fact that a sole from
belly hide gives the least wear,
and that from a section over the
animals kidneys the longest, and
to match up the sole leather in a
pair of shoes. The tanning pro-
cess. the bureau found. also has a
lot to do with wearing qualities.

Fourteen Years

land Motor Car Company, announces
the appointment Of W. r. Tracy as
assistant director Of sales.
This recognition of Mr.. Tracy's
record with the Oakland company,

open and organize the Cleveland
Oakland branch.
Three years later, he became as.
sistRnt manager at the home office.
The important part he has taken
in the great strides toward which
Oakland has been making under it's
new direct and associate dealer
policy has earned Tor Mr.. Tracy

WINTER BUYING
Of CARS SETS
RECORD
Owners Getting New Types
Because Of Minimum of
Cold Weather Troubles

Indications that the present win
ter is to be a particularly severe
one are cited by the Washington
Automotive Trade Association as
the reason for the present heavy
demand for new automobiles To-
cally.
This demand, according to the
dealers, is not confined to closed
cars out is extending to all mod
els. The reason is summed up in a
statement just made by the sales
committee as follows:
Motorists do not want to have
ANYTHING but the maximum use OF
their cars this coming winter, ana
accordingly they are buying new
cars in order to be free OF trouble.
There Is decided and growing
preference for the closed car, but
the main thought seems to be to
buy a new car for the freedom
from trouble which new car
naturally gives"
The w. A. T. A. committee also
renorts that in the used car mar
ket owners seem to be trying 10
obtained cars with a view to haV'
ing less to worry about during the
winter that is just ahead.
Reliability is the chicef virtue
of any car during a severe winter,
the statement explains. Motorists
seem to appreciate the fact that
this will not be a winter for chang
ing tires, cleaning spark plugs or
being towed home. They demand
reliability, and those who are not
in q position to buy brand new
cars are doing the next best thing
by availinig themselves Of the many
OPPORTUNITIES to change their old
cars for some of the unusual Of
ferings in the used-car market.
Motorists also seem to consider
the point that a severe winter
means greater need for motor trans
portation, since street car service
during storms and extremely cold
weather is often inadequate, par
ticularly for the man who is ac-
customed to the conveniences OF
personal transportation.
More open cars than usual are
being sold by reason Of the many
new ways to convert them into
warm bodies for winter use.
Inquiries made by this committee
into the reasons behind a number
of recent sales of open cars de-
yeloped the fact that some owners
were purchasing this type because
they planned to use their cars more
extensively than during any previ-
Gus winter, thus desiring models
that would require the least amount
of care. The matter of investment
was also considered in a number
of cases.
The whole buying movement,
however, is based upon the belief
that the essential feature is to
possess a machine that can be
depended upon to stand up under
adverse conditions at the season
of year when an owner has little,
II any, opportunity to help his car
along with care and attention"
