Times Automobile Editor

CHICAGO. Jan. 30.-Midweek in
the Chicago national automobile
show brought indianapolis manu-
facturers and dealers even more
prominently into the 1929 motor car
picture.
Strengthening its position in the
automotive world as the week pro-
crosses, Marmon, for example, is
one of the outstanding features OF
the annual show. And the activi-
Ties of both the Indianapolis fac
tory and the Indianapolis sales
branch of the Marmon company
are rejecting a liberal amount Of
credit on the Hoosier capital as a
leading auto manufacturing center.
The national and local shows
throughout the country this year
have been more successful from the
Marmon point of view than ever
before. and the Chicago event is
no exception. Activity centering
around the Marmon headquarters,
in the Blackstone and Auditorium
hotels, is not exceeded anywhere in
the city, and it is evident that both
public and dealer interest in the
Marmon line of straight-eights has
reached a peak never before at
tanned.

dent, and Thomas E. Jarrard, gen.
eral sales director, the Marmon Or

stone is expected to be one Of the
high lights of the week. Aside from
Williams and Jarrard, Marmon is

d. C. WEATHER JUST AS GOOD AS.
IF NOT BETTER THAN, OTHERS
c. of c. Committee Gives Figures te
Show Capital Has Been Libeled on
Heat and Humidity.

The average, for these IL cities was
found to be 1872, slightly above that for
Washington.
Pursuing its emphasis upon the gen.
orally good year-around weather here,
the chamber reports that the number
of clear days to be expected in WASH
ington compares most favorably with
other cities. Washington had 1913 clear
days in 1928. Other cities show the
1t3; Pittsburgh, 81: Tampa, 244; New
Orleans, 119; Cincinnati, IFS; San
Francisco, 1853; Cleveland, 81; Los An
geles, 212; Minneapolis. 107; Portland,
Greg, 70; Galveston, 1853; Jacksonville,
los; Philadelphia, 102, and Buffalo,
81. The average for the group of cities
was reported to be 131.
The chamber committee discovered
what was regarded as possible reason
for the belief of some that Washington
is especially hot in Summer, this being
a lower wind velocity than some others.
The average wind velocity here gas
found to be 6.3 miles per hour: Minnie
apolis, 10.4: San Francisco, TT; Cleve-
land, Ill; st. Louis. IL; Nashville, 8;
Tampa, ST; Baltimore, 4; New Orleans,
ST; Cincinnati, 6.6; Pittsburgh, 96;
Portland, ST.; Galveston, 96; Jackson
vile, 80; Philadelphia, 9.8, and Buffalo,
1874. Washington's breezes thus were
found to be better than three cities, but
not so good as in IL other cities.
In regard to high extremes in tenn
perature, the chamber found, for in
stance, that Washington is in a better
position than Los Angeles, which is
notorious in its Boosting Of weather
Highest temperatures by months in the
period from 1879 to 1923 were found to
compare as follows:

FRENCH WAR DEBTS.
FACING HOT FIGHT.
Paris Government and Par
lament Discussing Amounts
Due U. S. and England.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 26.-The war debts
which France owes to America and
Great Britain today seemed likely to be
the principal preoccupation of both the
government and Parliament for the
next four weeks.
Facing the long fight, the govern
ment found its position none too
strong, for while winning on two votes
of confidence on allied questions last
night and this morning, its majority
on one was the smallest in the cabinets
history. The first vote was 291 to 266,
the second, 347 to DOT.
Tt was increasingly evident that
with the great number of politicians
anxious to have their say on the sub
ject, ratifications of the debt accords
hardly could materialize more than a
very few days before August l.
August Payment Totals $4,000, 900.
On that date, unless the debts &C
cords have been ratified, France will be
obliged to pay the United States S40.-
600, 900, covering the surplus war stocks
bill Premier Poincare already has
talked through four long sessions Of
the finance and foreign affairs COM
mittees on the debts. Fer the fifth
session today he had prepared a re-
view OF the history OF reparatl0nS ana
it was expected he would need sixth
hearing to make comparison of the
Young and Dawes plans
1t appeared improbable today the
government would be ready for parlia-
mentary interpretations Friday, since
when the premier has concluded his
speechmaking both Ministers BRAND
and CheroT. are to address the COM
mittees. Az. three probably will have
to answer s,ost of questions once the
interpretations get under way.
Debates TO Begin in Mid -JuIy.
In the event the full-dress debates
in both chambers do not start until
mid-July, the conference of governments
on application of the Young plan, first
projected for July, probably would be-
postponed until August, since both the
premier and M BRAND would have to
remain in Paris to see the debt discus
sion through to its end.
Newspapers have devoted consider
able space to the debt discussion, and
while those of the extreme Left are OPP
posed to ratification most of the others
seemed to accept 1t as inevitable, If un-
pleasant.

Figures Show Humidity Low.

The chamber committee is composed
OF Houston r. Harper, chairman; Dr.
James A. Flynn, John A. Eckert,
Stephen H. Takes and Russell Balder-
Ston.
The committee report stated:
"As the result of its preliminary
studies of weather conditions, the spe-
cial committee of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce has assembled
facts definitely indicating that the tenn
perature of the Capital City is lower
than that of Southern cities, many
Central cities and many Northern
cities.
1.-THE committee study also indicates
that popular conceptions of a high
humidity rate prevailing in washington
are greatly exaggerated. The figures
thus far gathered appear to indicate
that Washington's humidity rate Is
somewhat below the average for other
comparable cities. Washington has a
metropolitan cities, which, of course,
adds greatly to the enjoyment Of out
of-door facilities in the area Of the
Capital
ut is. in truth, city Of sunshine as
the Weather Bureau figures indicate,
few cities having as many sllnlit hours.
Aviation surveys have shown that
Washington is peculiarly fitted to be-
come great national air center be-
cause of relatively low wind velocity
This low wind velocity, however, is per-
haps the reason for the erroneous con-
tention that Washington Is high in
temperature and humidity. The wind
velocity here averages about two miles
per hour lower than other comparable
cities, which Is not, when all is said,
a very great difference"

SKIM MILK NEW TONIC
FOR BACKWARD STEERS
Average Gains of 200 Pounds Are
Reported as Result of Michi-
gan Test.

MERRITT, Mich. R-A backward
steer is one that doesn't gain proper
weight on the feed IL gets.
A. L. Davis & Son, local dairymen,
had several such steers. They had,
also, a lot of skim milk They fed 1t
to the steers. Now the backward
steers are the best in the feed lot.
The experiment was observed by
H. l.. Barnum, county agricultural
agent, who said the steers on the milk
ration made average gains of 200
pounds, while other steers on other
rations were adding 100 pounds.
The Davis farm had no satisfactory
outlet for the skim milk, until the own
steer problem. Then they solved the
other problem.

experience that if Peter had made up
his mind to go somewhere, go he would,
regardless of what she might say.
Peter sat up and looked this way
and looked that way and looked the
other way. He could see all over the
Green Meadows. Not an enemy in
sight. Peter searched the sky care
fully. No hawk was anywhere to be
seem Then, kicking up his long heels,
Peter started lipperty-lipperty-lip across
the Green Meadows toward the place
from which Bob White was calling.
"Bob-Bob White! Bob-Bob Whitel"
Beautifully clear came that CHEEKY call.
Now and then Peter sat up to listen to
make sure of the general direction.
st don't see how Bob dareS do 1t, "
said Peter to himself. why, he tells
everybody right where he is. can't
think of anybody easier to ind than
Bob White when he is whiStling. All
one has to do is to follow the sound
of that whistle. 1t is a wonder to me
that Bob wasn't caught by Reddy Fox
long ago."
So Peter scampered on, lipperty- lip
perty-lip, and nearer and nearer
sounded Bob Whites whistle. BY this
time Peter was over near Farmer
Browns cornfield. He still heard Bob
wnistling and it sounded from farther
beyond the cornfield than Peter had
thought when he started. Curiously
enough, 1t didn't sound any louder now
that Peter was over there than 1t had
when Peter was up in the dear Old
Briarpatch. But Peter was sure that
he had the right direction, so on he
went. lipperty -lipperty-lip BY and by
he began to think it was funny that
that whistle didn't sound any louder,
SO he sat up to look about. Suddenly
that whistle sounded loud and clear
again, but, instead of coming from in
front of him, it seemed to come from
behind him.
''Now that is queer" thought Peter.
81 must have run past Bob without
seeing him. One thing Is certain, he
isn't very far away. thought he
would be on fence post, but he isn't.
It is always easier to find him when
he is on a fence post. However, I've
got that whistle located now and can
go straight to It,"
Peter once more started off, upperty-
lipperty-lip. Curiously enough, almost
at once Bob Whites whistle sounded
farther away. Yes, sir. 1t sounded as
If Bob had flown farther away. Yet
Peter was certain that he would have
seen Bob If he had flown. He stopped
and sat up and looked all about. Bob
White was nowhere to be seen.
