pared before Mr.. Williams depar-
ture, a total of 1862 per cent OF the
total output of the Marmon factory
was sold in foreign countries, not
including Canada.
Mr.. Williams has a wide KNOW
ledge of motoring conditions abroad
by virtue of his broad experience In
the foreign market in the last seven
or eight years. When he first as
sumed the presidency of the Mar
mon nearly five years ago he made
three trips abroad for the purpose
of inspecting improvements and ad-
vancements made by European
manufacturers with a view to incor-
porating them on cars of his own
manufacture.
Through European makers are
specialists in design and nicely of
manufacture. they have not achiev-
ed the quantity of production meth
cd now in use in the United States"
Mr.. Williams said. Where Ameri-
can producers formerly went to
Europe to learn new features Of
design, they now go to devise better
means of selling their cars abroad
in direct competition with the best
that European manufacturers have
to Offer"

Of Magnolia figs and most Of these
are about four years old.
Last year, Manning %proceSsed and
preserved about three tons of figs
which are being sold to merchants
and local customers. These figs are
handled by Manning's OWL pre-

crop this year.
Twenty acres of the farm have
been set aside for other kinds OF
fruits. Most Of this tract will be
planted with Bruce plum trees with
a few peach and cherry trees.
On the remainder of the farm,
Manning grows truck crops. This
year he has 80 acres in Early Flat
Dutch cabbage.
Manning has set out 1900 date
plants that are now two years old
and 600 that are one year old. These
plants do not begin to bear until
they are about 10 years old.

GENE AUSTIN TO
Sing ON RADIO
Olive Kline to Appear On
Same Program Monday
Over Big Work

Gene Austin, who made "Ra-
mona and Blue Heaven" famous
by the manner in which he sang
them, and Oliver Kline, who has
made herself famous as a radio So
prano during the past year, will be
the stellar attractions in the Chew
rolet hour Of the General Motors
family party on Monday evening. !.
Other features Of this varied n
lively program will be Pletro, the
accordionist; Holoua'S HawailanS;
Andy Sannella's SaXaphone sextette;
the Chevrolet vocal trio, and a nov
city concert orchestra under the
leadership of BILL Day, the well
known director of George Ger
shWin's musical comedies.
Austin, who is but 90 years old,
first achieved worldwide popular
ity as a monograph recording ar
fist. Singing. however, was not his
first choice Of a caree At the age
of Is, he ran away from his home
in Shreveport, La, joined a circus
and became q peanut boy. Soon
afterward the war started and Aus
tin enlisted. In the army his mu-
steal talents we're discovered and
he served with troops as a bugler
in France in 1917-10.
Returning home after the war.
Austin decided to finish his educa-
ton, and entered school in Balti-
more. 1t was not long before he
was running a dance orchestra on
the side, at a comfortable profit
Following this, he made a round
the-world tour as a member Of an
orchestra on an ocean liner. He
made his first photograph record in
April, 1925, and since then his voice
has been reproduced for the ears OF
millions Of listeners in all lands.

When the record is made the disk
is developed through a process simi-

The developed disk containing the
voice record is placed on the repro
ducing apparatus which is operated
by an electric motor drawing its
power supply from an ordinary cleo
trio light current.
The reproducer also contains an
other electric motor which is syn
chroniZed with the clock in the
Naval observatory at Arlington. It
too, has the quartz-mercury tube
light attachment and a shutter
which is placed with minute holes in
a pattern conforming to that of the
recorded voice modulationS on the
disk.
The disk is fitted over the steel
shutter which, when the device is
set in operation, revolveS at the rate
of a revolution every three seconds
BY means Of the SynchroniZed mo-
tor, the apparatus always is set al
the correct time.
The quartz-mercury light, or the
light that never goes out, as the in
ventor terms it, shines through the
holes in the shutter and is inter
copied by the voice modulations re-
corded on the disk. The pattern OF
the voice impulses recorded on the
