ROTARIANS HEAR ABOUT
HIGHWAY LEGISLATION
FROM SENATOR RUNKE

Male Pilkington, chairman for the
| day, had an interesting program at
Tuesdays Rotary, the principal speak
ers being E. A. Haight, Senator Wal
ter Runke, DR.. Charlie Ploussard, E.
E. Horn and the chairman himself.
Mr.. Haight gave comprehensive
and appreciated talk on the relation
ship of Rotary to other service clubs
and organizations of other kinds, en-
phasizing the point that the reason
Rotary rules against it's members be-
longing to other service organizations
is because danger would result of one
person or firm being the exclusive
representative in two or more clubs,
thus depriving others in similar bust
ness of membership in a service club.
DR.. Ploussard compared attendance
last July and August with this year
and during his occupancy of the floor
had Ollie Hurt, sergeant-at-arms pro
tenn, visit several fellow members.
Mr.. Horn, who is connected with
the U. S. biological survey, convinced
his hearers that the lowly porcupine
is a menace in it's destruction of trees.
He said that in some sections, notably
two forest districts in Colorado, por-
cupines do more damage to forests
than fire, tree disease and all other
harmful things combined Which ex-
plains why the government is having
porcupines in- national forests poi
soned.
Miss Selma Aas, with Miss Elsa
Myers at the piano, sang two much
appreciated solos.
Senator Runke described the last
special session of the state legislature.
He said conditions in this state en-
phasize the need for voters to regard
politics more as business and less as
recreation He said he hopes against
hope that the expenditure by the high
way department of the money made
available during the session will be
properly expended.
Senator Runke characterized the ap-
preparation of $4,000 by the state
board of public institutions for "sav-
ing the Colorado river" as a menace
to our popular form of government,
and expressed doubt that admins
trative officers have any legal right
to lay such a burden on the people.
He placed in the same doubtful cate
CORY the governors appropriation of
special emergency money" for roads
and bridges.
These two appropriations are the
more subject to criticism, he said, be-
cause they were made while the legis-
lature was in session.
His fear that the new state high
way board may not prove an efficient
antidote for highway evils was en-
phasized, he saic, when he read that
morning that State Highway Engineer
Lefebvre, reappointed by the commits
sion, had been granted by it an in
crease Of S2500 in salary year, MAX
ing his salary $500.
DR.. A. j. Mackey, president, opened
and closed the meeting. Tom Bell
wood led in singing.
Mr.. Pilkington's talk on the auto
mobile industry contained many fea-
lures of general interest that will be
reprinted in an early issue of The
Sun.

Nearly two million used automo-
biles were turned in last year on pur-
chases of new cars.
Year by year this replacement
market" has been creeping up on the
new car market until it is beginning
to be bigger than the market for
brand new buyers.
Auto dealers are coming to recog-
nize the Importance of the used car
in trades and resales. They used TO
pass on this question with a shruS
and a grunt. Now they look at it
with apprehension.
The situation was intensified last
fall when high pressure craftsmanship
and loose financing conditions
brought a high peak in sales of new
cars, only TO find many buyers un-
able to keep up their payments. Re
possessed cars, those taken back by
the finance companies. had been
greater than ever this year
As a result, the automobile indus
try is beginning TO get to its senses.
New cars aren't forced on people
who can't afford TO buy them. Used
automobiles are being taken in on
the basis of their true resale values.
The industry is becoming more
stabilized. And with it general trade
conditions will become more stabil-
lied.

Citizen of Government
Moves.

81 Uaited Press
( CHICAGO, June 1.-The Ameri-
can attitude towards Mexico and
Nicaragua was criticised today by
the Rev. Charles S. Detweiler of New
York before the Northern Baptist
Convention.
]. He urged a plea of sympathy to-
wards the countries.
Tn discussing the Mexican question
the Rev. Detweiler said:
Il admit that our State Depart
ment has. made out a good case in
insisting that no laws shall be of
retroactive application, but at the
same time lament it's apparent lack
of sympathy with the social pro-
gram of Mexico.
%Our Government in threatening
to lift the embargo on arms and thus
make it possible the overthrow of
Gales, has been like Saul, willing to
sacrifice his idealistic son, Jonathan,
to his abstract and legalistic ideas
Of Righteousness. \ lack of sympathy
and failure to understand the Latin.
American mind makes difficult the
adjustment of differences between
nations"
OF Nicaragua he said:
Undoubtedly our State Depart
ment will discover way out of the
confusion and distress which it
helped bring on the country by
backing the wrong man. We wanted
to discourage revolutions and yet we
recognize government that came
into power by revolution because it
seemed to be the way out of a bad
situation.

of 10000 was in the Coliseum at the

r. Tracy, vice president, in charge
of sales. This exceeds the sales of

the company. when a total of II $50
cars was sold.
May production schedules have
been increased again and the Oak
land factories plan n combined out
put of $4,000 Oakland and Pontiac
cars this month. an average Of more
than 1000 each working day.
The 1000 cars a day goal was
reached one day the last week in
April. but this month the produc-
ton will have to average about this
record mark If the schedule is to be
maintained.
Oakland is running far ahead of
its 1926 sales, each month showing
big increase. During the first
four months of 1927 OaklandPontiac
sales totaled 53.6lS cars, as against
$1,000 cars for the same period last
year.
Production is still far behind
orders, according to factory officials
and every effort is being made to
increase production without inter.
fering with careful inspection and

LONG EXPECTED
LITTLE CUSTOM
JORDAN IS HERE
Car, Smaller and Lighter,
Presented in Three
Styles.

Charles G.. Saunders Company an
nounces that the first of the long
expected Little Custom Jordans has
arrived and is on display at the COM
pany's sales room, 1888 n. Meridian
St
1t is distinctly new type of motor
car-smaller and lighter in weight
than any car that Jordan has ever
built. Three styles are presented on
a chassis compact and sturdy in con-
struction.
All bodies have been done by a
group of custom designers. There
is a five-passenger custom sedan,
a new type of passenger inclosed
car, called the Sport Salon, and an
extremely smart collapsible coupe
roadster known as the Little Jordan
Tomboy.
Eleven Years
The Jordan Motor Car Company
has devoted eleven years to the linn
tied production of cars of the better
class and is seeking leadership in the
fine quality small car field while re-
tanning the straight eight as the top
of teh line. Jordan feels that there
is a tremendous waiting market for
a small car of really fine quality.
The new Little Custom Jordan is
fully the equal in lines, finish and
luxurious appointments of many of
the famous European cars, although
Jordan prefers TO call it an American
rather than a European type. The
car is only sixty-nine inches high.
The average adult standing on the
curb can easily look over the top.
Yet, there is ample room and comfort
for siX.footer inside. This is due
largely to the adoption of the worm
drive axle Which permits lower body
construction without sacrificing head
room or clearance.
The new Little Jordan is said to
without sacrificing an inch of clear
ance or an inch of tread. The en-.
tirely new radiator of bright nickel
is high and narrow, with a high hood
and cowl. Tenders of a distinctive
ly custom type flow in with the body
lines and give an impression of
greater length. Extra long chrome
vanadium steel springs, together
with Houdalle hydraulic shock alb
sorbers and an unusually perfect bal
ance. give a riding ease that is I'M
canny.
Two Shades
The sedan is finished in two shades
of Monte Carlo gray with tenders to
match, and the window reveals a,
new shade of blue-green. Upholstery
is in custom broadcloth with appoint.
ments of etched silver. The instru-
ment board is new in color design.
and arrangement.
Both the sedan and the sport salon
have scarlet wire wheels of a new
type with large hubs, and all at
taching bolt heads concealed but
easily accessible. The Little Tom
boy is done in a shade of Royal Pc
kin yellow, with Burbank top and
ebony black wire wheels. Tenders
are painted to match the body. a
dickey seat in the rear deck is con-
trolled by a spring, and can be
opened from the driving compart-
ment. The Burbank top folds down
easily If open air driving is pre-
ferred.

CHEMISTS STUDY

IN LABORATORIES
Illinois Science Head Looks
to Petroleum to Supply
ingredient.

BIZ United Press
URBANA, ILL.,. June 1.-The
future rubber supply may be a
synthetic product produced in chemi
cal laboratories.
DR.. Roger Adams, head of the
University of Illinois chemistry de.
partment, looks to petroleum to
supply the necessary ingredient for
synthetic rubber.
Rubber has already been made
synthetically," DR.. Adams says,
"and the types of raw material
necessary are we'll known. The
serious problem is TO find a source
of this new material which is
cheap enough TO make possible
competition of synthetic rubber
with the natural. Petroleum offers
a possibility.
