Though silk is not supposed to have

Fifth century A. D., Gisela NJ. A.
Richter Of the Metropolitan Museum
of Art is inclined to think that the
suppressed females of classic Greece
knew silk, and its identifying ad-
vantages and transparencies long be-
fore.
Linen and wool were the common
fabrics worn on that luminous penin'
sula, but classical literature contains
many references to thin, highly ex-
pensive garments called Amorgian
tunics, Miss Richter declared recently
in report to the archaeological In
stitute of America.
They are thought to have been
made Of especially fine linen from

of land in the Aegean, with. how

Craham-Paige Big
Exporter Of Cars

Detroit, June 20.-In little more
than twelve months, Graham-P Paige
has become one of the leaders in
export of American motor cars.
having risen to eighth place in the
number of units sent to foreign
countries canadian shipments
not included).
Overseas shipments in May were
1885, bringing the total for the
first five months of the year to
1862, more than three times the
figure for the same period last
year, and even exceeding the to-
tai of 6239 for the entire twelve
months of 1928.
When the Graham-P Paige was in
troduced at the beginning of last
year, the company had only the
nucleus of an overseas selling or
ganization. Rapid expansion of the
overseas dealer list was promoted
by two main factors-the estab-
lished reputation Of the three Gra-
ham brothers, whose motor trucks
had been sold everywhere; and
the new cars themselves, the Gra-
ham Paige four speed drive prov
ing an especially attractive feature
in Europe because of its great ad-
vance over the four speeds spur
gear transmissions commonly used
there.
The widespread overseas selling
organization of Graham-Paige now
includes 122 distributors, with
dealer connections covering 70
countries. These distributors now
take 13 per cent of the company's
total production. Eighteen factory
representatives maintain contact
with the foreign distributors and
dealers, operating from such stra-
getic points as Johannesburg,
South Africa; Sac Paulo, Brazil ;
Buenos Aires, Argentina; Paris;
London;; Berlin; Colombo, Ceylon;
Singapore, Straits Settlements;
Sydney, Australia; and Mexico
City.
Canadian shipments, not includ-
ed in the export figures, show
similar gains. In May, Canada took
1868 cars, as against 628 in May,
last year. The total for five
month this year is 1908, more than
double the the total of 1907 for
that period last year. The Canad-
ian total for all twelve months of
1928 was 3428, which has already
been exceeded in less than six
months of the current year.

Veterans

Of considerable interest and i'm
portance to the Spanish War Vet
Grams, wives, and widows of Ari-

Spanish War Veterans Service
Bureau Inc. of Calf. to have twel-
We lectures given in various parts
of Arizona by Edw. F. Schulz of
Los Angeles on subjects Of vital
interest to the Veterans on their
rights and privileges regarding
matters of pensions, hospitaliza-

al civil service preferment, 80 days
preferential rights in filing on
Boulder Dam lands through pow
er of attorney; travel pay allow

Stutz, Blackhawk
Have 4 Speed
Transmission

Indianapolis, Indiana, June 20.
Within two years cars without
four-speed transmission will be as
obsolete as cars without four
wheel brakes, predicts Col. E. S.
Gorrell, president of the Stutz
Motor Car Company of America,
in commenting on this feature in
Stutz and Blackhawk cars at
sales convention here.
He touched upon the fact that
four-speed transmission had been
tried some sixteen years ago by
automotive engineers, and had
been dropped because of noise,
complic ated parts and operation,
and the difficulty in securing steel
that would stand up under con-
slant driving.
"All these objection have been
successfully overcome in the four
speed transmission now in use in
Stutz and Blackhawk cars" an
nounced Col. Gorrell. "Our new
new type has internal instead of
external construction for the third
speed which makes it very quiet
in operation. It fulfills the demand
for long life. Wear of the gear
teeth in cars that have been driven
constantly in third speed for thou
sands of miles is practically neg
ligible.
Moreover, ease in shifting is
very simple. Movement of the lev
er is short and requires positively
no effort, the engagement of the
third and fourth speeds being ac-
complished with remarkable ease.
"Yet another feature is that
our four-speed transmission is an
under drive instead of an over
drive, a direct reversal of the old
four-speed theory. Third speed,
an internal gear, is used principal
ly in city traffic and in hill climb
ing. In the case of the under-drive,
there are no gears working at all
in fourth.
"Anyone who can drive a stand
ard three-speed type car can drive
our fourspeed without instruc-
tion," Col Gorrell pointed out.

What is0 believed to be a new
record for the sale of used cars in
the United States was established
in May when the nationwide

157, ,624 used cars. This was in adj
dition tothe record volume of new
car business which also scared to

In Commenting on the achieve
ment, Chevrolet factory officials
point out that it was made possible
through the tremendous amount of
public confidence that has been
built up by the Chevrolet dealers
through the general policX of Of
fering for sale only dependable
merchandise. They explain that
through the widespread use of the
red tag with an o. K. tina.
counts, prospective used car buy
ers can be assured that every vital
part of the car has been properly
reeOnditioned and put in shape to
offer thousands of miles of unused
transportation.
Compared with the correspond
