An- nese and fighting in brought about idered the gravest crisis since the 1915 . It was feared that, in Na- tionalist territory at least, race hatred might flare and be the spark to set the train of powder off. Shanghai advices told of arrange- ments for an extensive boycott of Japanese goods and resignation of Chinese employed by Japanese. All Japanese women were taken on board ships at Ichang, on the Yangtze river in the provinces of Hupeh. At Nanking, the scene of the violent disorder of March, last, the women were concentrated at the waterfront in readiness for embark- ation if this was thought advisable. Similar preparations were made at Chinkiang, a little below Nanking, and at Kiukiang in Kiangsi prov- ince. To reinforce the Yangtze river patrol an additional destroyer divi- sion was ordered to Shanghai. While the Japanese garrison at Tsi- nan has been reinforced to a total of more than 4,000 men, an addi- tional 2,700 troops were steaming from Manchuria to Tsingtao where they will land with Tsinan as their destination.

Expands Facilities to Boost Production Willys-Overland’s expansion pro- gram to increase the production of Whippet four and Whippet six models to meet the greatest buying demand in the company’s history is taking definite form, officials of the organization declared this week. The new addition to the export and body building departments, which provides 800,000 more square feet of factory space is nearly com- pleted, this extension being neces- sary when the output of Whippets was stepped up to the greatest pro- duction mark ever reached by the company. _, Willys-Overland is concentrating its efforts on increased production of Whippet fours and sixes, this be- ing the dominating class in the auto- mobile industry. It is pointed out Japan seize the present occasion to resume military and economic domination of the province of SI tung. It was asked whether Japan would turn back the calendar to 1914 when the soldiers of the Mik- ado seized Shantung from Germany and with it the Shantung railway and aed te Kiachow. As a sequel to the Washington conference the. wince was landed back to China it now China’s payments on a 40, 000,000 yen ($20,000,000) bond sue by which retrocession of the railway was purchased have been in default for nearly two years. This, it was thought, might strengthen the hands of those who advocate re- establishment of he staus which ex- isted before the Washington confer- ence, Assurances of the safety of Amer- ican, British and German communi- ties at Tsi limited the issue to Japan and Nationalist China. The rifles at Esinan have been silent since Friday and General Chiang Kai-Shek, Nationalist commander- in-chief, is discredited and the unity | 1 of his command broken. The revolutionary drive toward Peking has halted, perhaps for months, perhans permanently. In the meantime the position of the northern armies grows stronger. Chicago Tribune Says Reports of Crime Are Very Much Suppressed Chicago, May 7.—(?—The Trib- ne said today that crime reports are being systematically suppressed in Chicago police stations “to pre- ‘vent exposure of mounting crime totals,” and that Commissioner Hughes’ declaration of a big redu¢ tion in crime “is an absurdity gro ing out of an attempt to suppress the spread of criminality under the Thompson administration.” The paper said that records avail- able to the public have ceased to contain reports of robberies, burg- Jaries, assaults, bombings, and other wr crimes unless there was an arrest and the case could be record- ed as “cleaned up.” Daring robberies appear on the station complaint books as “want to gee detectives,” Burglaries were found to have been q as “lost property.” A stol- F en automobile was listed as worth $100, but on its recovery was valued } gt $500. The newspaper’s informa- tion also was that crimes reported to stations frequently are not| trucks u e most communities by electric lights, | mentioned to patrolmen who there- fore are hampered in their work. ‘Christ Not on List of Great Thinkers New York, May 7.-@)—A new i dating of the great thinkers of all if , ranging chronologically from i s to Darwin but omitting it, was sented today by Will Durant, author ani philosorhe: | Plato, Aristotle, Spinoza, C ; og hasan Bacon, Newton, | end Voltaire were the other eight men on the list. “Jesus Christ, Moses, Caesar and leaders were thinkers said Durant. moral forces, action. Christ the paper said.|P that in the lower price ranges 47 per cent of all sales are made in the price groups below $750, with 23 per cent of the total sales being in the price class from $750 to $1,000. The former group represents the price class of the Whippet models and it is in this group that the company has expanded its facilities to reach the highest production in history. In quantity output this commits Willys-Overland to highest produc- tion on its two Whippet models which provide the major business for the sales organization, the bal- ance being devoted to the produc- tion of the Willys-Knight models. Proper Inflation Is Point to Remember “Tire mileage, life and service de- pend on several factors,” according to F. A. Copelin of Copelin Motor Co., Firestone dealer in Bismarck. “These factors include the tire, driver, car, roads, and last but not least, on using tires large enough for the heaviest load placed on them at any time and keeping them in- flated to the correct pressure. “Nearly every day some one will say to us, ‘Why do some people get 25,000 miles from their tires when the best I ever get is around 10,000 mil How do you account for that?’ “The trouble is not with the tires, but with the way they are overloaded or underinflated. Nothing—man, beast or mechanical device—can stand up under great abuse. The remedy is to pr tires large enough for the maximum load that may be placed on them and to keep them properly inflated. “Reasonable care and regular in- spection of tires for minor injuries checking of the air pressure will enable the motorist to get th most in mileage and useful service.’ Pedestrian Should Have ‘50-50 Break’ “Seventy per cent of all traffic fatalities result from collisions be- tween motor vehicles and _pedes- trians,” say Walter P. Chrysler, presi it of the Chrysler corpora: tion. It follows that any helpful plan to segregate motor vehicular and pedestrian traffic must nece: sarily command attention. Today we have motor vehicular control. The movements of passenger cars,| busses are regulated in hand semaphores operate! by traf- fic officers, and by signals given by traffic policemen. But in most cities we haven’t much in the way of strian control, “I have often thought that ‘pedestrian control’ is probably an unfortunate express It seems to carry Boiled it ie idea ge som one is trying to depri pedes- trian of some of his rights. The plain truth is that the advocate of pedestrian control simply wishes to get into the 3 mind that traffic rules, regulations and signals are equally as much for his safety | and convenience as they are for the motorist. American ‘cities can well afford to study the experience of Los An- i has learned was finally developed so that it was possible the third time to pass it over the mayor’s veto. At the same time, in addition to pedestrian regu- lation, the entire traffic ordinance was revised and simplified. The newspapers, the radio and other me- diums all paid considerable atten- tion to the plan. Just what it was proposed to do was brought re- peatedly to the public’s atten- tion.” Automobile Is Now a First Necessity a “Automotive transportation has long since passed the point where it was considered as a luxury,” says W. E. Lahr of the Lahr Motor Sales Co., Willys-Overland distribu- tors. “There are few possessions which any man or family would not sac- rifice before the car. | “The one who goes in debt for an jautomobile is very properly re- jgarded as having committed him- self to a good investment, because the automobile has abundantly proved its influence as a produc- tive factor in every class of occupa- tion and society. “When one can buy something that will save money and make money for him he is open to criticism if he does not do so. The amount of money spent for auto- mobiles this spring will reach a vast figure, but the increased income and NOBILE TAKES BIG DIRIGIBLE TO KINGS BAY Italia Now Awaiting Favor- able Weather For Flights Over Arctic Kings Bay, Spitzbergen, May 7. —(?)—The dirigible Italia was safe at her base today awaiting favor- able weather as final preparations were made for a series of trips over unexplored wastes of the Arctic and to the north pole itself. Despite extremely _ unfavorable weather conditions, General Um- berto Nobile brought the airship from Vadsoe, Norway, some 700 miles across the Arctic ocean to Kings Bay in 16% hours and made her fast to the mooring mast of the base ship Citta di Mialano. A high wind was blowing and the dirigible was forced to stay anchored to the ship. for many hours since it was impossible to put her in the hangar used by the Norge when General Nobile flew from hére over the north pole in 1926. A heavy snowfall and contrary winds were encountered throughout Saturday night on the flight here. The Italia, however, was in constant wireless communication with the base ship and the Geofysiske Insti- tute at Tromsoe, which suplied de- tailed data on the weather. The ship was sighted near South Sydkap in southern Spitzbergen yesterday morning. It kept outside the coast line because of heavy fogs over the mountains. General Nobile, after making Green Harbor at noon, was forced to maneuver the craft for an hour before he could bring her to the base ship’s mooring mast. A. P. Editor Ready to Write Story on Snipe Hunting Art Willingness to learn usually is a virtue—but not always, according to E. E. Schaefer, who came to Bis- marck last week as state editor for the Associated Press. Schaefer, who received his news- paper training in Minneapolis, felt that he was in a strange country and adopted for his own the idea of “When in Rome Do as the Ro- mans Do.” When he went for a weiner roast with a group of Bismarck young bloods he never thought to challenge the idea of indulging in a little “snine hunt.” The result was that he sat on a lonely hillside for an hour, waiting, with a paper sack in his hand, for the festive snipe to make its ap- pearance and be captured according to formula. An hour was enough for Schaefer to realize that he had been hoaxed. decreased expense resulting from car ownership will aggregate much more. The man who buys a car sooner or later has more money with which to buy other things.” It’s Open Season for Motor Idea Inventor Spring days that inspire spring pocts also mark the open season for the itinerant automobile inventors. They are arriving in fleets with ac- celeration of thought that causes traffic jams in the offices of motor car_ engineers. Enginecrs also find they are flood- ed with mail containing some rather startling ideas such as: How about rubber fenders when bouncing through traffic? Possibly a pemoenent wave for upholstery might interest you? Ever hear of a wheel where the thought point originates at the hub? Are you interested in a celluloid surface for a car finish with several layers so it could be peeled annually for a fresh appearance? Maybe you'd be interested in a 1928 model of perpetual motion? Can you afford to turn down a carburetor that plays with gasoline all dey, keeps the engine humming, nd returns the gas to the tank every evening?
