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.

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 '

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.
ITALLIXS TOLD TO BEHAVE
ROME A stern warning against
attempting to enter the United
States by illegal means has been
issued to prospective Italian emi
grants by Senator Luigi Luiggi.
He has pointed out the severe
steps taken1 against clandestine
immigrants j by the American
authorities, and has urged pros
pective emigrants either to await
their turn in the quota or. better
t still, to go to France or Argentina.
