New Regulations Needed Say German Navigators BERLIX. Discussing whether rotorships shall be treated as sail ing vessels or steamship in apply ing naval regulations to them. German navigators at a ' recent meeting were of the opinion that a new set of regulations will' be necessary. It will be quite impos sible, it was agreed, to treat" them as other than, rotorships in de ciding how they shall be governed when they meet sailing or steam ships. ' j . The federation of German navi gators also decided to call the new craft Fleftnerships, as the name rotorship is too easily confused with motorship. Oarsman to 8tudy Medicine LOXDOX.- W. - P.

Our special correspondents do It. ; High automotive production will continue well through the second half of 1925 ft is expected by R. H. Grant, sales manager of tHe Chevrolet Motor company, who has spent three months of the current year visiting in direct con tact with Chevrolet dealers. His travels have taken him to most of the large cities and more' than half tbe states. ' , "Demand for cars, which even before this time last year was be ginning to slacken, still remains strong," said Mr. Grant. "The sales peaks and depressions of former years' are beginning to flatten out. The automobile has become a year 'round product, particularly since the closed car grew to such favor. Seasonable variations in: demand are becom ing less marked. -"No one section predominates as a present or prospective market for automobiles. Sales throughout the entire country reveal a grati fying steadiness and uniformity of demand. And improvement of the agricultural situation, particularly in the .southwest where the drought has broken, indicates that thousands of farmer-purchasers will help sustain the demand dur ing the latter part of the year. : :: "It is not improbable that de mand will increase slightly in the near future and then remain un changed for some time, still at a comparatively! high level. This possibility, however, will have slight effect upon production, es pecially among the large companies." MANY CARS ARE STOLEN MEAN'S TO PREVENT THEFT? OF. AUTOMOBILES VIEWED "American inventive genius ca,a surely find some way to cut down the number of stolen automobil es," said Walter P. Chrysler, president and chairman of the board of directors of the Maxwell and Chrysler Motor corporations, recently. "The activities of auto mobile thieves were nearly 50 per cent greater in 1924 than they were in 1923 and more than 100 perj cent greater than they were In 1918: - ' ; "In 28 cities there were stolen In ;1924. .67,771 motor vehicles. Of this number 47,484 were recov eredl -' Seventeen. per cent of the total number stolen were not re covered. .,V .,.:;., . - . .. " f'rrhere should be a way to mark a car in such manner that it can be Identified easily.. That mark should be counterfeit proof if in ventive genius can make it so. It should be so placed on the car that it cannot be removed. "The theft of automobiles is a crim vast, in its proportions The number of cars stolen Increases from year to year. Now there probably, will be no way to check the theft of cars entirely but surely there is some way to cut down the number; of cars stolen. "'The cars stolen last year were valued between $100,000,000 and $125,000,000. That sum must be cut down." I ' 1 w.l.:i- iiumUkii nviuior vemuies uumuci Days of Berlin Horse Cabs BERLIN The days of the horsedrawn cab in Berlin appear to be numbered and with its pas sing will go an historic institution of old Berlin. Time was when the different colored "stovepipes" worn by the drivers indicated whether the cab' was first, second or third class. Now there Is only one class, and that Is thoroughly dilapidated. ! The few remaining cabbies are well beyond 60 and their numbers will not increase as new licenses are issued only to motor driven vehicles. Owners of horse cabs have a hard time making a living as there, is little call for their vehicles except at the arrival of trains, when all the automobiles and taxicabs are engaged.
