u. S. BUSINESS men
WARNED OF RIVALRY
Real Gravity Of German Competi'

MEXICO CITY, April 12.-The ar
rival in Bremen, Germany, OF group
of important Mexican merchants en-
phasizes the necessity Of impressing
on the United States business men,
especially exporters, the real gravity
of German competition in Mexico.
This is so not only because Of the
initiative of four big groups of Ger
ma n industrialists and merchants who
have visited Mexico during President
Gales Is months. in office. but also
because of the Mexican attitude as
we'll. The Germans brought samples
OF their wares, ranging from airplanes
to small nails, and visited the prin-
cipal manufacturing and industrial
centers in this country.
The Mexican merchants are In Ger
many undoubtedly as a result Of the
visit there by Gales when he, was
president.elect. At that time the sig
niffcance of the Gales visit arose from
his repeated intention to strengthen
German Mexican commercial rela-
tions. In this respect he has kept
his word by officially supporting the
German visitors
The Mexicans. are being shown
through all the principal n1anufac.
turing centers by their German col.
leagues; who intend to do so with
characteristic thoroughness.

an ordinary Votmeter, such as that
shown below, can he used for the
purpose. For aveEag ge use the volt
meter should have a scale reading
up to about 100 volts.
The one shown below has two
scales, one for use with small volt
ages up to 10 volts and the other for
higher voltages up TO 100 volts
The usual method Of using volt
meter to take voltage reading is
to connect the terminals Of the volt
meter directly across the terminals
of the battery or instrument to
measure the drop in potential across
the terminals. On the other hand. an
ammeter or milliamefer is connected
in series with a battery or instrument
In the method which ! am going TO

by using the voltnpter as an am

Trenton, x, Ja Feb, l7.--In the taco of opposition by senator Simp- son, two resolutions aimed at tho powerful WIZ radio broHdCusting station at Bound Brook were adopt ed by the New Jersey senate ycster- day. The first provides for a pttl- ton 10 congress 10 empower the secretary of commerce 10 control radio broadCasting stations and the second allows the attorney general to appear before tho secretary of commerce to oppose the granting of license to any station that may he deemed a nuisance.
 Senator simpson expressed snr- prise that Senator Case of Somerset, sponsor Of tho radio control resolu- tions, should invite further intcrfcr- cncc with state rights by calling on the federal government 10 act. He believed any regulation necessary should be by the state, He doubted, he said, the wisdom of mcddiing with radio at a time when it was still in the experimental stage. The Case resolutions, he asserted, were comparable to the action of inc British in the carly days of rail- roadng. when a bill was passed prohibiting the running of trains because they Frightened horses and COWS.

Carmalt Of this city, told the Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers, in 4@nd annual meeting here today, He read paper based upon q study Of traffic con- di'ions in this city for relief of con grS'ion in the down town section Of Chapel street,
 Mr. Cannalt outlined these prem isrs tor his belief in relief through city planning:
 First that certain street arrange monls can greatly smooth out the flow Of traffic within its limits, and
 second that we can determine the relative value Of free traffic movement to that Of concentration Of commercial and other activities within limited areas"
 Mr, Carmalt said that each city, or region. had it's own peculiar prob lems but there were certain basic conditions such as physical. linan- cial and the reactions of the general public, Of those whose interest," arc affected and of those who arc inter- cstcd in and study the problems; and finally reforms"
