China Awheel Now

The statement by Donald Skinner,
advertising manager of the General
Motors Corporation Of Japan. that
twice as many automobiles were sold
In China during the first six months
of 1929 as were ever sold In any en-
tire year previously, may come as
surprise to many Americans In view
of the revolution-torn and economical
ly unhappy condition Of that country.
But, politics or no politics, the East
has no more been able to resist the
lure of the automobile than the West
has, and China's economic develop
ment has been progressing despite all
her ways. says the Detroit Free Press.
The growth of the automobile trade
has inevitably brought an improve
ment in the road system, and while
the Chinese roads, judged by Ameri-
can standards, are still poor, they
have been adequate enough to open
large sections of the country. OF
course, every new road means an ex-
tension of the productive activity OF

Many "Black Fridays"
in Financial Circles

''Black Friday" does not refer to
particular date, as often supposed, but
is the name given to several Fridays
on which financial panics have oc-

applied to the Friday in December.

London that Charles Edward Stuart,
the Young Pretender, had reached
Derby, only ten days march from the

Immediately. "Black Friday" was
probably suggested by analogy with
Black Monday, an old name for the
Monday following Easter. The term
"Black Friday" was revived in Eng

followed the failure of the London
firm of Overend, Quincy & Co. In the

Water Filtration Has
Curbed Disease Spread

About 1887 it was announced BY
Percy FARMLAND and others that sand
filtration removed nearly all the bac-
terra In water. Five years later came
the outbreak of cholera In Hamburg,
and striking demonstration was af-
forded Of protection through filtra-
ton Hamburg and Altoona. two cities
on the Elbe river. both used the river
as source Of water supply. Hamburg
used unfiltered water; Altoona filtered
its supply. When cholera infection Of
the river water occurred, Altoona es-
capped with only few cases. Ham
burg, on the other hand. had an enor-
nous number.
Following the rapid advance of the
science of bacteriology In the SOS and
'90s. it was natural to- consider the
possibility of purifying drinking wa
ter by the addition of chemical disin-
fectants. The first systematic use Of
chlorine in water is credited to Hous-
ton and McGovern in England in 1904
and 1905. The present worldwide use
Of chlorine disinfectant of public wa
ter supplies, however, is due largely
to the work of George A. johnson,
who. In 1908. used bleaching powder

Quantities of Amber
Found in Baltic Basin

Amber has been mined for hundreds
of years in the so-called blue earth of
the Baltic basin. It is classified as
a fossil resin and biologists believe
that several species Of pines have had
a part in the formation Of the amber
of the Baltic basin.
Pieces of amber are torn from the
sea floor and cast up by the waves.
They are collected at ebb tide by
searchers who sometimes wade into
the sea and with nets attached to
long poles drag to the beach the sea-
weed containing entangled masses Of
amber. Dredges have also been used.

To call man a "mutton-head" is

such is the solemn decision of q
New Jersey court. The man may be
even an official, a police official at

may take this verbal pot shot at him
without danger Of fine or imprison-
ment, says the Boston Transcript In
this case, the plaintiff was clerk OF
the police department Of Bergenfield,

Of the state to establish the precedent
that even one Of his imperial associ-
ates might be regarded as mutton

and still be unable to prove that ne
had been damaged. "Mutton-head. as
defined by the dictionaries" the court
held, sis dull. heavy, uninteresting
person, and the dignity of the clerk
may have been ruffled by the Ian
guage addressed to him. but that it
was indecent or disorderly is not es-

Prosperity is a modern watchword.
Recent events have served to focus
public attention to an unusual de-
gree upon the immediate future of
business Commenting on this phase
of prosperity, Walter S. Clifford. Presi-
dent of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, recently said to
the Chicago Association of Com
merce:
"At such times when perhaps the
present is too much with US, it seems
to me to be helpful to take a long
look backward and a long look for
ward. BY doing so we can refresh
our minds on the sources of our ma
tional wealth and the prospects for
continued economic progress in spite
of any temporary Embellishments
which may momentarily obscure the
horizon"
This country today, Mr.. Clifford
stated, enjoys an average standard
of living far higher than that which
obtains in any other country at pres
ent or any country at any time known
to history. This condition is often
ascribed to the country's boundless
natural resources.
These resources are important, but
in trying to fashion a true picture,
it is worthwhile to remember that all
of these natural resources were here
before the Civil War, and at that
time there was no stream of foreign
observers landing on this country's
shores to discover the secrets OF its
prosperity
The country had. it is true, made
use of the land, cut from the forests,
mined coal, iron and precious metals,
set up some manufactures and built
up a prosperity we'll beyond that of
the Colonial period.
But the possession Of natural re-
sources is not a guarantee of well
being nor prosperity. Natural re-
sources are but tools for man to use
to reach the goal Of his ambitions.

When Armies Meet in
Battle on Chessboard

The principles of chess are based on
the struggle of everyday life. II Is a
battle between two armies of equal
strength. fought on a field Of 81
squares. Victory usually perches on
the more proficient of the two gener-
ais in command. In technical sense.
the capture of the opposing king is
not permitted. yet when the capture is
inevitable, the game is ended. This
fact seems to escape the recognition
of many players. who direct their en-.
tire energies to the capture of pieces
or pawns, when consistent play would
indicate an easy road to victory
through the medium of a checkmate.
The temptation to proceed with the
attack before all the pawns are in the
field is great one. but such prema-
ture attacks are usually abortive and
frequently result in disaster. Chess
literature abounds in examples Of
games in which disaster and defeat
were direct consequence Of the fail

Canyon Worthily Ranks
"a Marvel Of Nature

To understand the immensely Of
the Grand canyon, it is necessary to
know something of the Colorado river,
which, incidentally, must be included
among the great rivers of North
America. 1t is formed in southern
Utah by the confluence of the Green
and the Grand rivers. 1t enters Ari-
IONA at the northwestern corner and
flows southwark to the Gulf of Cali
fornia. 1t drains an area of 100000
square miles. Only at three points
is it crossed by railroad.
The Spaniards were the first white
men to view the great wonder of ma
ture Spanish explorers first report.
ed seeing it as early as 1910 and in
1776 Spanish priest found cross
ing that still bears his name. The
first man to make anything like
complete survey of the river and the
canyon through which 1t flows, was
Maj. John Wesley Powell, a geologist
and school teacher, one-armed
veteran of the Civil war. With crew
of men and boats, he traversed the
river from it's source to its mouth In
1869.
The Grand canyon has long been
haven for biologists. 1t furnishes
them with an ideal setting to study
the earth's strata. And it is no less
a haven for tourists.

ar HERE was time when maxi
y ing a pumpkin pie was no
simple matter. First the pump
kin had to be opened and the seeds
removed; then it had to be cut in
sections and pared; next came the
steaming and then the MASKING.
And only by that time was the
housewife ready to start on the
making of her pumpkin pie proper.
Today all that is changed, for
commercial firms have taken over
the arduous work of preparing
pumpkin and have put up the fluffy
pulp in gold enamel lined cans
which preserve the vegetables rich
orange color.

it so simple to make pumpkin pies,

sources, but power and well-being of
the nations which stand out in his
tory have rested largely upon treas
ure from conquered territories.
Today in this country the civiliza-
ton that the United States is build.
ing up is of different sort 1t is not
dependent upon subjugation of other
nations or tribute from them. 1t is
being built upon sounder and more
permanent foundations. Its economic
objective is as broad as it's political
objective.
The modern conception of the coun.
try is that well-being as well as gov
eminent shall be of the people, by the
people and for the people.
Following this line Of thought.
President Clifford announced that the
Bell Telephone System. Of which he
is the head, will spend over $500, 00O,.
600 in 1880 for plant extensions, ad.
ditions and betterments to the tele.
phone systems serving the United
States.
To illustrate the type of progress
made by the telephone industry, he
called attention to the invention of
the telephone by DIR. Alexander Ora
ham Bell little more than fifty years
ago. In the relatively short time
which has elapsed since human
speech was first transmitted electri-
cally. Mr.. Clifford said that the tele-
phone business has been so organized
and developed in the United States
that today practically any body, any
where. can talk at any time of the
day or night to anybody else, any
where else-not only in the United
States, but in Mexico, Cuba, Canada,
and the most of Europe.
The ability to render a service of
this magnitude rests upon a national
lied organization employing over
100000 American men and women,
operating physical properties repre-
senting an investment of S4,0O0.0O0.-
900 which are owned by more than
500 900 stockholders.
Constant improvements are still
Delng made IN the scope, speed and
accuracy of telephone service, Mr..
Clifford stated. and new methods of
operation which permit of greater
economy are being devised.
In this industry the ultimate limit
Of progress seems to be as far away
as ever. Only short time ago a new
service was inaugurated-tele
to ships at sea. Insofar as scientific
knowledge is concerned. the Bell Tele-
phone system has already conquered
space and time so that 1t is possible
technically to establish instantaneous
communication between any two per
sons anywhere in the world. be either
person or both on land, on the sea, or
In the air.
las a matter of fact" Mr.. Clifford
said. "it is already scientifically but
not commercially practicable for each
telephone user to see the person with
whom he is talking. but greater scien.
tific knowledge, as previously indi
Gated, does not always make a new
discovery practicable"

Purifying Public Water

The first noteworthy movement in
this country for the publication of a
public water supply was made in 1866,
according to the New York Health
department. when st. Louis sent James
P. Kirkwood to Europe to investigate
the methods practiced there. On his
return Kirkwood made an elaborate re-
port that water engineers still regard
as classic. In 1872, about five years
after Kirkwood's death. plant was
built at Poughkeepsie in accordance
with his plans This was the first
practical attempt at publication of a
municipal water supply in America.
