OAKLAND PARTS
SALES Low

A recent compilation of the SER
vice department records of the Oak
land Motor Car Company for the
year 1926 revealed that parts sales
10 Oakland dealers averaged only
s7.08 per car, based on the total
number of Oakland cars known to
be in operation. AS these parts
sales included large volume OF
accessories. the actual parts used
Tor replacement averaged in reality
much less than the per car amount
given.
service totalTed 248,65S, including
all Oakland care registered on Jan
uary / 1925, plus cars sold during
the year. According, to Louis
Stevenson, vice president of Tire
Luttrell Company of this city, the
low service cost per car Is particu.
larly significant. since approx.
mately 20 per cent of these cars
are more than five years old. The
average parts cost for 1926 is the
lowest in Oakland's history and
also compares very favorably with
the entire industry. which is esti,
mated to average about $i2 per
car for all makes.
Sixty per cent Of the wearing
parts in car arc located in the
engine, says Mr.. Stevenson. land

The Confederate forces, suffering
from the blockade then in force
by the Union navy, made drastic
move in covering one Of their yes
sells with plates of iron. This yes

Hampton Roads and in shor. time
wreaked havoc among the crew of
the wooden ships of the Union fleet,
practically sinking all the vessels.
But the victory of rhe Confeder-
ate forces was short lived Shortly

IN the early part Of the nineteenth
century the use of steel in the build

Battle cruisers were constructed
with g. covering of steel over the

The use of steel in modern battle

As a result of the engagement
between these two navies in the
China Sea wood has been entirely

NAVAL CAPTAIN
 FOUND GUILTY
Sealed Verdict Returned on
 Drunkenness Charges

Norfolk, Va, June 1 P(-Captain Charles NJ. Devalin, of the medical corps, commandant of the naval hospital here, apparently has been found guilty by the court martial which tried him this week on charges of drunkenness, conduct pre- judicial to discipline and misuse of government property.
 By returning a sealed verdict late yesterday. the court-martial indicat- ed that it had convicted the accused officer, since the usual procedure calls for announcement of the courts finding, when it is an ac- quittal. The verdict will not be an- nounced here, but by navy depart ment officials at Washington.
 The captain was accused by Com mander Robert c. Heiner, a marine corps officer subordinate to him in the hospital. of having been intoXi- cated, October 30, at a navy yard halloween dance, Of having drawn liquor from the hospital stores for beverage purposes, of keeping liquor in his possession at the hospital, and Of having authorized use of a gov ernment truck for private purposes.
 One of the defense witnesses yes terday. Colonel Harry c. Davis, com- mandant of the marine barracks at the navy yard, testified that he had seen nothing unseemly in Captain Devalin's conduct at the dance. all though he. garbed as "sunbonnet Sue" and the accused in Scotch cos tune, had been in close contact

STOECKEL REGARDS
 STATE LAW FINAL
Does Not Concede Waterbury's Right to Make New Road Rule

Waterbury, June i G9 - There is an apparent conflict between the statute giving municipalities power 10 regulate traffic and the state motor vehicle laws, but it is my personal opinion and my opinion as a lawyer that the state motor vehicle laws supersede municipal traffic regulations" declared, State Motor Vehicle Commissioner Rob- bins B. Stoeckel last night.
 The statement was made in reference to denial made by the local board Of safety's traffic com mittee Wednesday that the state motor vehicle law supersedes the proposed local ordinances with re- spect to traffic The local board of safety Is anxious to have the boule- yard system of traffic enacted into an ordinance, but the board of al- dermen has refused on the grounds that 1t would conflict with the state motor law
 Commissioner Stoeckel was asked concerning Section 1545 of the gen. eral statutes In which 1t is stated that authority given any town or city to regulate traffic shall remain in force. This apparently gives a town or city power to enact ordi- nances, such as the proposed boulevard system. He stated that he does not believe that the legis- lature in euactins this measure had any idea of giving the cities the right to put into effect ordinances 9 variance with the state laws.
 Continuing, he said that the mu- inequalities have every right to en- act such an ordinance under the statute referred to (1545) and that he believed it to be a legal question only 10 be settled by the courts In reference to the boulevard sys- tenn he said that while it would un- doubtedly speed up traffic he thought it to be a bad measure, one that would result in many ac- ci1ents and one that he did not approve of.
