EXCEEDS
PREVIOUS HIGH
SHIPMENT MARK

FLINT, Mich, April 2O.-The Buick
Motor company in the. past eight
months exceeded by 1900 cars it's
highest shipment record for an en-
tire fiscal year, it was announced at
the factory today.
Buick, it was stated has also
smashed practically every production
and shipment record since it's incep-
tion 23 years ago.
The monthly average for the past
eight months is better than the high
est previous single month in Buick
history, the announcement said.
The climax of this most active pc
riod was reached in March, when 25,-
305 cars were shipped. The previous
high mark prior to 1926 was made in
October, 1925, when 22,85O cars were
loaded and sent out. This record,
however, was broken in each of the
first three months of this year.
In January the shipments set a new
record of 23,265 cars, which is 415
better than the mark of last October.

STUDEBAKER SETS
RECORD ON TRIP
THROUGH WEST
CBy A. B. JENKINs)

Smashing the record for an auto
mobile from Los Angeles to Salt Lake
City by eight hours and 20 minutes
Studebaker Big Six "Sheriff"-the
latest creation of the Studebaker Or
ganization-made the run on April
12 over a course of 765 miles in the
elapsed time of 16 hours and II
minutes The previous record was
"a hours and 81 minutes.
Bucking heavy wind, bathed in a
flood of rain for $50 miles, fighting
corduroy roads made difficult to
travel by the recent heavy rains, and
being compelled to detour because of
a washed-out bridge and roads ripped
by cloudbursts, the new Studebaker
phenomena took slippery mountain
trails and smeary gumbo roads with
out a hint of trouble, and ended it's
run in Salt Lake with hundreds of
persons lining the sidewalks cheer
ing the conquering car.
The run was officially checked by
the Western Union offices in Los An
geles and Salt Lake. Before the Big
Six left the telegraph office certi-
fled record was handed Alb Jenkins,
Salt Lake contractor and owner of
the car, and Ray L. Peck, garage
owner of Salt Lake and associate
pilot The certified record was
stamped by Western Union clock at
both points to make the time record
official.
Climbing from $50 feet above sea
level at Los Angeles and climbing to
the highest point north of Cedar City
at an elevation of 1920 feet, the car
checked into Salt Lake City, at an
elevation of 4250 feet, having made a
gasoline average of IA miles to the
gallon. No additional water was put
into the radiator, and less than a
quart of oil was put into the car for
the entire run.
The average speed of ATS miles an
hour is most remarkable when road
conditions following the rain are
taken into consideration. But even
more remarkable than the speed at
tanned was the endurance displayed
by the car Despite the fact that, its
cooling system was. naturally subject
ed to a severe test over the mountain
grades, desert roads, and the fact
that the entire run to Salt Lake is
practically up grade, the radiator cap
was never removed.
BY making the run, Jenkins and
Peck set the fastest pace ever made
overland in a motor car between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake. and also made

statute.

Senator Reed, republican, Pennsy1-
vania, and was on the stand for two
hours. Before he was called the drys

one of the ranking bishops of the
Methodist Episcopal church, and
other church leaders, who urged
against any weakening of the Vol
stead. act and supported instead the
nomination measure to put teeth"
into that celebrated statute.
Taking the stand to refute state
ments made by DR.. Samuel Harden
Church, president of Carnegie insti-
tute, Baird had not concluded his di-
rect statement when the noon recess
hour was reached. Explaining that
h wanted time to prepare an ad-
dress on the italian debt, Senator
Reed moved adjournment until to-
morrow but Chairman Harreld and
Senator Goff, republican, West Vir-
ginia, out-voted him.
Senator Reed then took his fight
to the senate floor where a brief, but
fiery debate developed. Senator
Bruce, democrat, Maryland, accused
the committee of discourteous treat
ment of Senator Reed and declared
he did not expect any measure of
justice from the committee consti-
tuted as it is.'
This brought protest from SEN
ator Walsh, democrat, Montana,
member of the committee, and Sem
ator Bruce asked why he should have
any confidence in the committee
when a majority had opposed any
hearings at all on the modification
bills.
This aroused the ire of Chairman
Harreld, who arose to point of per-
sona1 privilege and remarked that
Senator Bruces declaration had
shown that "all the fanatics are not

For "a moment the proceedings got
beyond the control of Vice President
Dawes but as order was restored,

sey, another of the vets, offered

postpone it's hearings until Thursday.
Senator Walsh objected to Immediate
consideration and the resolution went
over.

Immigration LAW
MAY PROVE hot
, CONGRESS ISSUE
Clause Reduces Influx From
164,667 Aliens to Only
10000.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-An al
most forgotten clause in the 1924
immigration law is threatening the
hottest kind of political fight at
the approaching session Of Congress.
The clause, known as the nation
al origins" section, will reduce the
influx from 164,667 aliens annually
to 10000 and radically change the
system by which quotas of foreign
nations are fixed.
The national origins" section was
placed in the 1924 bill by Senator Da-
vid A. Reed of Pennsylvania. 1t
radically changes the immigration
after July 1, 1927, provided President
Coolidge issues a proclamation by
April /, 1927. At the present time
each foreign nation is permitted to
send aliens up to per cent of it's
nationals residing in the United
States in $780,
The special clause changes the sys-
tenn so that the annual quota Of
any nation shall be based on the con
stitutency of the 1920 population OF
l>khis country, with a further stipula-
zion that the minimum quota for
any nation shall be 100 persons.
Pressure is already being brought
to bear upon members of the House
and Senate immigration committees
tohave them delete the clause from
the law. During a recent speech in
Washington, Representative Albert
Johnson, chairman of the House i'm
migration committee, said that he
had "inside information" that the
national origins provision would
never become effective

And so they scampered forth in
glee, and climbed all over Santa s
knee. "Howdy, Santa Claus. We're

we will cause no fuss. and if you'll
only welcome us we'll gladly trail

Course Santa looked at all the
