RIVERSIDE, Aug. 8. - H. J.
Cuayle, professor Of entomology
and entomologist at the University
of California agricultural expert
ment station here. has been appoint
ed by the United States Secretary
of Agriculture TO a national com
mittee of seven for an investigation
Of the Mediterranean fruit flv
situation in Florida.
Professor Quayle has left for
Washington, ID. C., to prepare for
lis work, after having completed
the editing and publication Of a
new university circular describing
the Mediterranean and other fruit
flies found throughout the world.
This publication is Circular 31j Of
the University Agricultural EI-
pertinent Station.
At Washingt on. and in Florida,
Professor Quayle will cooperate
with the other members Of the COM
mittec. namely: Dir. Vernon L.
Kellogg, secretary of the National
Research Council; Or. II. A. Nor
gan. president Of the University Of
Tennessee; Professor T. G. Cooper,
director of the Kentucky Expert
ment Station; Professor v 5. Gard
ner. director OF the Michigan EX-
pertinent Station Dir. Y. J. Head
lee, professor OF entomology at the
University of New Jersey: and
Professor G. A. Dean, entomologist
at the University Of Kansas.
In his new bulletin, Professor
Quayle describes the fruit fly as
follows: 1.-The adult Mediterranean
fruit fly is little smaller than the
house fly, with eolors Of brown,
yellow, black and white arranged
in characteristic pattern. There
are two white bands on the yellow
ish abdomen. yellow, brown and
black markings on the wings and
black areas on the back. The wings
are normally held in dropping
position. - The new booklet con
fains full page plate in color of
the Mediterranean fly.
Most Destructive
This species, Professor Qaayle
explains. is the most destructive of
an Of the fruit flies because Of its
wide range Of hosts and its wide
distribution in tropical and sub
tropical countries. II has been

There no longer need be any public concern over the old age of the venerable MT George Her man Ruth.
 MT. Ruth, in fact, has become a solid citizen, with an investment trust of $150,000, yielding modest $12,000 annually, all fixed up and ready for him whenever he ceases to draw his $70,000 or more from the vaults of Colonel Jacob Rup- pert and the Yankees.
 All the money derived from tl.e "by products" of Ruth's fame, from the underwear and candy endorse ments, from the athletic equip ment and shaving cream, goes into the trust fund handled by Christy Walsh, Ruth's business adviser and manager.
 There is not much likelihood that Ruth will have any cut in salary when he signs new contract for 1930 or for another term of years. There was no loss to the Yankees in the three-year agreement, calling for a total of $210,000, that Ruth signed in Colonel Ruppert's brewery office in February, 1927, to become the highest paid figure in the game, topping even Commissioner Landis, who gets $65,000.
 The Yankees won two worlds championships and Ruth set new home run record of 60 following the signing of this contract. In spite of illness, the Babe came back to lead all the circuit clouters for 1929.
 The Babe, although no doubt slowing up, has lost little if any Of his batting eye His value to the Yankees is not alone in his hitting

Early Planning
For Roads Urged

With automobile usage still rapid
ly increasing and the street and
road daily becoming of more import
ance, the desirability of making
highway construction plans early is
apparent.
Highway engineers arc urging that
plans be made and contracts be let as
early as possible in the winter and
spring preceding the construction
season Many communities have
zone v further by making def
mite plans for construction work a
full year ahead.
Early planning, 1t Is pointed out,
provides ample time for the extern
sive preparatory work that goes
with any stable project. In build
ing rural pavements. for instance.
old roadways are often shortened
for eeonomy's sake. and old and
new road beds must be whipped into
proper condition before the paving
mixer q be used. These opera
tions may call for considerable time.
In city paving, many other items
must be considered. Where perma-
nent paving projects are contemplate
ed it is Of course highly desirable
to place all underground utilities,
such as water mains, electric wires,
telephone cables and so on. in first
class condition in order to avoid the
constant tearing up Of streets with
which so many municipalities are
afflicted.

more general installation the pub

est of automobile and service station
mechanics know the Alemite points
as Familiarity as they know the
points Of the compass.
The newest and most revolution
airy step in automobile fabrication is
the centralized system now being
marketed by Alemite, which has per-
fected and made automatic equip

cal members Of a car without n
further attention by the car oper-
ator than to see that the reservoir

During the month OF December
General Motors dealers delivered to

53, 760 for the corresponding month
last year. Sales By General Motors

totaled 35.44i cars rs compared with

The decrease in dealers sales to

as will be noted below, sales TO con-
sumers exceeded sales to dealers for

MILLION new
FORDS BUILT
Record Mark Reached
In Production of
Model A

DETROIT, Feb. 9.-Production Of
the new Ford reached the first mil
lion this afternoon when Model A
engine No. 100000 came off the
assembly line in the Motors build
ing az the Rouge plant or the Ford
Motor company. The occasion was
marked by the gathering Of Off
Gals Of the comp nv who have been
active in the prediction Of the new
car since its inception.
On October 20. 1927. Henry Ford
stamped the figure ] on the first
Model A motor to be assembled, and
building Of the new engine was un-
der way. IL was slow at first, but
Fcrd coordination of men, materials
and machinery soon sent the output
to higher levels, until it has now
reached the total Of q million new
automotive power units, a remark
able achievement for the industry.
The history Of the Ford Motor
company presents a striking con-
trast between this production rec
ord and that when the old Model T
was introduced. IL required seven
years and two months to produce the
first million Model 7 motors, while
the first million Model A engines
were made in slightly over fifteen
months.
II was on October !, 1905 that the
first million mark was obtained.
From then on production grew rap
idly, until in 1927 when the fif-
teen millionth car was built, the
company had facilities for produc-
ing two million Model T cars and
truck a year. Then came the deci-
sion 10 build a new car. Manufac-
ture of the Model T. except for ser
vice parts, ceased. The new Model
A was developed.
IL was necessary to change over
all the plants to meet the building
requirements for the new ear. New
machinery machinery had to be in
stalled. Other machinery was spe-
cially designed, developed and built.
and old machines ~remodelcd, all to
meet the closer limit and higher pre-
cision demand required for the
manufacture Of the Model A car
parts. Another task involved the
training of thousands upon thou
sands Of new workers. an enormous
undertaking in itself. And 1t is M
that still goes on as additional hun
dreds OF workers are being hired to
bring factory production up TO the
SKI day basis. Today with the first
million Model A engines already
built production is proceeding at
the rate of 1000 units per day.

BY c. z. BUTTERFIELD
ASSOCIATED Press Radio Fdifor)

Radio is officially elated about
what it did in 1928 in the way OF
piling I'D dollars.
Cold hard figures may not smat-
ter much Of the romantic, but this
infant industry gets a lot of cheer
out Of them. In paving through a
mass of data gathered in a survey
conducted by Radio Retailing, the
first plum pulled out bears the fig
ure of $3.50 1850, 900 as the total sales
for the year. Alongside of this is
put s425, $780, goo for 1927.
Next in line is the fact that 1885,
600 factory built sets were turned
into 5000, 0o0, 900, while the year be-
fore these figures were 1896 900
sets and s16s, 100000.
So many receivers put into use
and requirements meant a tube sup
ply that II almost staggering. The
year saw $4,000. 900 sold, for with
the public paid si10,25o,O00. Again
comparison is made with Al, 200. 600
tubes In 1927 ut s67,50o,00o.
Loud speakers joined in the great
outgo Of radio material. Reproduc-
ers Of all kinds totaled 2.460,O sold
for s66.4oo. 600.
An estimated $4,000, 900 persons
are elsssed as members of the radio
audience, against $4,000, 900 in 1927.
All types OF sets now in use bear
the census figure Of e,500,o00.
About the only thing that did not
show an increase. and to be expect
ed because of the AC set, was the
sale of batteries. The drop was to
100000 900 from SIS. 900 900 in 1927
and 100000 0 in 1925. A and r
power units, storage batteries and
chargers took q plunge also. In
1928 there was q business of ST.
100000 in these articles, n fall from
s34.o00.000 the previous year. Other
accessories. including hesdphones.
aerial equipment, etc, had n total
outlay Of $4,000, 600 compared with
$~36.550.00O In 1927. Available fig
ures place the total parts business
last year at $4,000 900 compared
with s21 900. 900 two years ago.
Exports took a jump along with
most other things. going from ST.
100000 in 1927 to $1,000, 900 in
1928.
Radio Retailing supplements its
mEs Of data with this prediction.
Final figures warrant the predic-
tion that the 1929 radio audience
will reach the total Of 100000 list
