THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEMi OREGON. SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 14, 1924 GIVE SOMETHING All FAMILY MAY- ENJOY Something for the Car May Be Enjoyed By All The one family possession which every member of the family en Joy from baby to grandma is the automobile. It doesn't matter so much if it's old or if It'a new, so long as the motor runs 365 days in the year and there is room; for all everybody's happy. But in spite of the good times the,' family enjoy on Sunday ex cursions or week end trips, there is usually one fly in the ointment the car doesn't always hare all the equipment necessary to giTe the maximum of comfort and service. t ,-So there is the solution to your problem "What shall we give the So-and-So's for Christmas?"

Four Wheel Brakes Used On All Good French Cars PARIS, Dec. 13. Trance lays claim to giving the automobile to the world and guards jealously that honor, whether others con cede her claim Ibr not. Yet the 'tremendous number of cars in the United States obliges the French to recognie America as the' auto mobile country of "the world. ' France feels, however, "that she originates the new ideas for the gas-wagon. The war Interrupted industrial development here and the American maker developed his car in the interval. But in the last three years the French car, ha3 been improved strikingly; French engineers apparently have made marvellous progress, i The four-wheel brake has been generalized in France and - the "servofrein." the mechanism de signed to apply the brake pressure In direct proportion to the need . for it, is now used on all the higher-priced cars, both of them to a greater extent than in the United States. ;. -r.: !;-'' French engineers, on. the other hand, long haye admitted Ameri can superiority in springs, body comfort, accessibility and stand ardization. Although there is no discussion of , the subject, the American maker also is ahead in motor silence and. electrical equip ment.

(AP) Minerals may be vital to the world's food supply, according to a report to the. American Chemical society of researches now in prog ress in the laboratories of the Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station jat Lexington. "The I ; conclusion has been reached," said Dr. J.' S. MeHargue, in charge of the investigation, "that copper, iron, manganese and cine perform more important functions j in agriculture than Is generally ; recognized-" ? Experiments thus far have been made on Kentucky bluegrass, red clover, alfalfa, white and yellow corn, wheat, rice polishings and polished J rice, showing that iron predominates, ' with zinc ( second, manganese . third, ,; and ; copper fourth. j . "" ' ; "-.' "The germ of wheat," says the report, "is a rich source of an un identified vitamin factor. The as3 sociation of relatively large amounts of copper, manganese and zinc with this substance, rich in vitamins, is a coincidence of striking Interest. "It was found that when rice is polished, s nearly all the copper, iron, managnese and zinc are re moved in the polishings. Conse quently when pigeons were con fined to a diet of polished rice they soon developed polyneuritis, whereas pigeons fed on unpolished rice maintained a normal condi tion. Apparently the compounds of copper, iron, manganese and zinc contained in the pericarp and. germs of cereals are important factors in nutrition. "Fertile soils, it is shown, con tain small - amounts, of - the ele ments, copper, manganese and zinc. Plants grown in the soil ab sorb small amounts of these ele ments, which are stored . in . the leaves and in the pericarps and germs or the seeds. . "When the cereals, corn, wheat and rice are highly milled the re sulting degermed corn meal, pat ent flour and polished rice are de prived of the greater part of the compounds of copper, iron,, man ganese and zinc, which appear to be factors in animal nutrition. "In practical agriculture, de pleted soils may require the addi tion of available compoundsrof copper, managanese and zinc in order to restore and maintain pro ductivity and to produce a f ooJ supply containing the vital factors In normal proportion." A research problem of funda mental importance in agriculture today, the report declared, is to ascertain which cf the elements that occur in soils, plants and ani mals are necessary and what are their functions.

Joe WilliamsJ Willard battery dealer here feels he can make that claim for his stock, following the capture of if our bank bandits who stole a Willard battery, which proved to be their undoing. The quartet idrove 'into Carson City, Nevada, and under the guise of tourists, put up at the public camping grounds to ge"t "the lay of the land." While there they discovered their battery was in bad condition.! ? ; The theft of a battery was in-1 eluded in their, plans to rob the Carson City bank. Two of the four engaged the local Wlllarof dealer In the front ot his shop while the I otner two went around to the back of thestation and appropriated a new battery from the dealer's stock shelves. One was left to install tha bat tery in . the car which stood in front of the bank while the others were working inside. Incidentally he was to act, as lookout. The battery was connected. The vaults were entered and rifled. A "get away" was in order. But the robbers failed to "get." They were asounted to find, they could hot start their motor. The delay and confusion caused by this discovery resulted in their being caught redhanded. One of the quartet later explained that they stole the Willard because they thought it the most dependable battery on the market and in making their getaway, "dependa bility was what they wanted noth ing else but." . "They were right in their faith In Willard batteries," explains Williams, "but ! they happened to pick the wrong kind of a Willard for their jgpurpose." "The battery they took was ona of the new Charged Bone Dry Willards which has many advan tages not found in other batteries. That is, advantages , for i honest folks who pay for their batteries instead of stealing them. This battery is absolutely dead, al though fully charged, until battery acid is poured into the cells. This is done at the time of sale to in sure the buyer getting the full life of the battery, and is possible only with Willards. i If the robbers had filled the battery when they took it, it would have been ready at once to start their car as the acid would have released the pent up charge." : ' .

(AP) An increase in the country's In dian population and a marked im provement in health conditions on their reservations Were noted in an annual report today by Indian Commissioner Burke. t Growth by 2,599 in the past year to a total of 346,902 in a population total entirely depend ent on; the difference between the birth and death rates, is accepted as proof that the Indians are be coming a healthier people. Campaigns being, conducted against trachoma and tuberculosis, the most prevalent Indian diseases, are yielding results, and the com missioner seeks an additional ap propriation of $130,000 to carry on the work. : A gain in school attendance also Was noted. 65,484 Indians having been enrolled-in various schools, representing an increase of 4.071 over 1923. In three years the number of teachers in the Indians' summer training schools has grown from 24 to 325. Although oil and gas operations on Indian reservations were less than normal, the leasinga reached 226,910 acres; 49,640,458 barrels were produced, and the total reve nue was $29,145,517. A tract of 160 'acres on the Osage reserva tion in Oklahoma was leased' for nearly $2,000,000 and several oth ers brought more than $1,000,000 apiece. The. Osages alone raaliz ed $24,670,483 from oil and gas. . Lumber cut on all reservations aggregated 20,000,000 feet which yielded the Indians $1,932,000. Pima Indians in Arizona will be especially benefited by a $5,500, 000 dam to be constructed on the Gila river near San Carlos.

Hull Secures Services of Pioneer California Auto Top Expert Salem is at last the home of a real up-to-date stationary top fac tory. The O.. J. Hull auto top shop has secured the services of Mr. Harvey Withers of Los An geles, California. Mr. Withers has spent twenty years in the auto top business, twelve of which has been devoted to the building of stationary tops. : There ) Is more demand for the stationary top in California than in any other type according to Mr. Withers, in fact the percen tage is, as high as thirty five to one. . These -tops are not to be con fused with the ordinary stationary top as they contain many prin ciple which Mr. Withers has evolv ed, among them being a special lock which permits of locking the windows at any desired position with a pressure of thirty three pounds along the entire window there- by absolutely doing away with rattles and squeaks. This lock is patented by Mr. Withers. UNSEEN GIANT SHOWS (Continued from page 1.) termining the nature of each of the various substances in exist ence. Dr. Abrams sought to ap ply this fact to the diagnosis and cure of disease. He reasoned that since every atom in existence vi brates from electronic force, and f every separate form of matter has its own particular rate of vi bration, then every atom in every human body, or any other animal body, had its rate of vibration. Each its own rate. Each its nor mal rate when in perfect condi tion. Disease was an Interference V --A FT- storage -n, " r r -v-' BATTERIES j Ill ADDED TO i a f mm aaBaBaBa.1 : Before a car can attain a success jas complete anii all-inclusive as the Chrysler Six it must pre sent advances bearing materially on all phases of performance and ownership. No matter how powerful and flexi i of this normal rate by some! force having a different rate of vibra tion. Dr. Abrams devised instru ments, even more delicate j than the radio seta, by which he was able to record the various rates of vibration of the electrons.! With these instruments he was able, by many thousands of experiments, to determine the vibratory rate of practically every disease. Since the electronic vibrations of an, animal body has no known connec tion with the life principle, it fol lows that the vibrations remain the same in any "portion of the body, whether alive or dead. IThat being true. his instruments for re cording the rate of vibration are actuated as readily by a drop of blood, or any other particle from the body, even though years of time may have elapsed since the ppeciman was separated from the body. It is evident,' that -if the instru ments devised by Dr. Abrams will accurately record the vibratory rate of different subjects, and that each disease has its own individ ual rate of vibration, known and registered, then It is as easy to photograph a disease as it is to radio a picture. The same process. which would record the radio vi brations of a picture on a photo graphic plate would also record the disease vibrations on a similar plate. The two propositions stand or fall together. The radio photo graph has been concretely demon strated.
