HIGH PRICED SENATOR

In a public statement, Mrs. Chandler,
wife of the Governor of Kentucky, assert
ed her husband was defeated in his pri-
mary fight by federal money poured into
the Kentucky contest by the raw dealers.
She estimates the amount of government
cash spent in Kentucky, or promised for
future expenditure, as between $50 and
300 million dollars.
Rather high price to pay for senator
of the calibre of old man Barley. Raw
deal senators come high, but the admins
tration must have them until such time as,
like Hitler and Mussolini, the big boss fills
all jobs and controls the country without
resorting to the fiction of having rubber
stamp legislative body.

Truck Powered
By Oil Is Tested

WAUKESHA, Wis, Aug. 10
(UP)-A motor which can travel
1876 miles on gallon Of fuel oil.
according to its makers, has de
parted on tour Of IL chief man
ufacturers of trucks and automo-
biles in the East and Canada.
The machine would travel less
than half that distance on the
same amount of gasoline, it was
explained. 1t carries 3O-gallon
fuel tank and IS powered by All
engine made under the Swedish
Hcsselman patents functioning III
what formerly was l2-cyIinder
Cadillac.
The company's purpose is to
demonstrate that such an engine
can be used advantageously to
provide power for trucks. 1t Is
not Diesel. but is said to have
Diesel economy in addition to the
convenience of gasoline driven
machine. J. G. Swain, Of the
manufacturing company, explain
ed that the engine uses injector
spray nozzles to get fuel to its
cylinders, but that the fuel is IL
nited by q spark instead Of by
heat developed by compression.
This means, Swain added, that
the engine does not have to with
stand such severe pressure. Its
parts are lighter without sacritic-
ing either power or structural rug
gedness. 1t can be cranked as
easily as gasoline engine. A gas
olinc primer is used to insure
quick starting.
Lower operation costs make the
Diesel type Of engine desirable for
use in automobiles. but further
developments must come before
this is practical. company officials
said.

WTASHINGTON.-A real Russo
w Japanese war, if it should
come, will likely produce the most
spectacular, effective aerial bonn
bardrnent and combat yet seen.
Toxic, as American army Off
GERS see it, would become the first
capital of a major power to suffer
a severe aerial bombardment.
1t is less than 700 miles from
Russia's Vladivostok 20 Toxic. EX-
perts who believe Toxic would be
a prompt objective also enviSion
suicide squadrons of japanese
taking off with loads of eXplo-
siveS and flying madly into Rus
sian air fleets.
News of darkening of japanese
cities confirms belief that Toxic
and other large centerS are vul-
nerable.
Diplomats and military men
have supposed that the Chung
kufeng fighting would be kept To-
Called, on the theory that Japan
wants no war because of her Chi
nese involvement and that Russia
has too much to worry about in
Europe. This is mere deduction.
Aside from general background,
all the State, War, and Navy De-
oartments know is what they read
in. the neWspaperS-meaning the
official versions from Toxic and
Moscow.
Several bizarre theories as to
the "real reason" behind the out
break nave gained wide credence
in Washington. But the best Far
Eastern experts are unwilling to
go beyond suggesting as possibili-
lies:

iiffuse Japanese military energy

Instead Of an international
agreement that no nation will
drop bombs on babies, and other
noncombatants, why not go the
logical limit and agree that no
nation shall attack any other ma
ton with anything?-that no ma
ton shall fight outside its own
domain? Just where is the point
in the nations getting together
on outlawing just one way OF Il
nations invading another nations
territory and numbering its inhab-
itants?
Furthermore, if some agree
ment were entered into with gun
men and kidnapers, what would
such agreement be worth? 1t
would take as potent a power to
enforce the agreement as to re-
strain the criminals altogether.

Quebec Will Try
Highway Lights

MONTREAL, Aug. 10. (EP).
Quebec province will have its first
lighted highway soon.
The lighting system is being in
stalled on the Care Labcllc high
way, Immediately south Of Ste.
Rose on the route 10 the Lauren
tian mountains.
Two types Of lighting are being
installed-onc with sodium lamps
Of from 5000 to 10000 candle
power, and the other with mean
descent lamps Of 1000 candle pow
er. The sodium lights will be 200
feet apart and will cover Il dis
lance Of II miles, while the in
candescent lights will be l25 feet
apart and cover distance of a
mile. The lights are being INSTALL
ed as an experiment.
The lighting will be controlled
automatically by a photo-clcctric
cell, which will turn it Oh when Il
certain degree Of darkness is
reached. Each lamp will be SuS-
pended on an arm reaching out
over part Of the highway and the
lighting will be such that motor
lists will not need to turn on their
full light. In fact. any automo-
bile light will be valueless 50 far
as indicating the road is CON
cerned.
Lighting of highways is not
new. 1t is being adopted III the
United States. and in Ontario the
Decentralization highway is be
ing light. IN fact. any automobile

cities in the United States is cred
tied with reducing tn" accident

remarks yesterday about the po-
tential strength Of about 5000
Baptists in this immediate section
came simultaneously with the re-
port of the Rev. Arnold Edney'S
sermon at the Carolina Mission

had taken pains to do some OBJ

moral conditions, the Dissertation

heads in shame.

so numerous. don't let anyone get
the idea that it is a Baptist re-

There can never be world

MAJOR BATTLE.

CHINESE DOOMED.
0utnumbered Troops
Map Out Retreat

SHANGHAI, Feb. IL u.N.SO'
A major battle appeared to be
imminent today on the SuchoW
front, where six Chinese troop di'
visions are pinched between two
japanese columns, one moving
down from the north and the
second advancing up from the
south.
Each of the Japanese columns
numbers four divisions, which
means that when the fighting
starts the Chinese will be out
numbered, eight to six.
RETREAT ALREADY MAPPED
Reports from Hankow said the
Chinese intend to fight but expect
to lose. after which they will re-
treat to a point south of Cheng-
chow after relinquishing that city
and Kaifeng to the Nipponese.
In the meantime, however, the
Chinese strategy is to delay the
Japanese assault against HankoN "
and make it as costly as possible
for the invaders.
Below Chengchow the Chinese
are expected to make another
stand against japanese legions
moving down the Kinhan railway
against HankoW.
MAY WRECK RAILWAYS
Observers here believe the Chi
nese, to impede the attack. will
totally wreck the Kinhan and
Lunghai railways, even destroy
ing the costly railroad bridge
across the Yellow River.
The japanese have now, after
81 days labor, completed a tenn
porary bridge across the Yellow
River at Tsinan. Illustrating the
extent of destruction in China,
japanese authorities estimate it
will cost 100000 to repair the per-
manent Tsinan Bridge alone.
Here in Shanghai, a new wave
of outbreaks, termed japanese
counter terrorism" by foreign po-
lice, produced two new bombings
and gruesome displays of severed
Chinese heads.
