Secretary Hoo ver today aanounced that the de partment of commerce had, made arrangements with Station "WGY at Schenectady, New ; York, to broadcast experimentally with fif ty kilowatts,, the greatest amount of power ever used in the history of regular! broadcasting. The highest power Oow In use in the United States is fire kilowatts. The purpose of the experiment is to attain! more satisfactory and definite information; than is at present available concerning the effect of Increased power upon the intensity and quality of sign tils, distance and area covered in terference caused with other sta tions, overcoming fttatlc, ' modulation, possible blanketing.

Automobile , factories in - the iast have always controlled the delivered cash price of their cars. ,To that has been added freight, war tax and a nominal handling charge. . However, from eighty to ninety-five per cent of all crs are sold on time it varies in different parts of the country, Tntil the Chrysler Corporation In augurated this new plan of finsfnrinir. factories did not rontrof I deferred payment price of their1 car.

Companies are bend ing every effort to produce quality products" at as low a cost as possible and at the same time to meet their obligations to - their stockholders. Never in the history of business ha it been possible to buy so much for so little as is true of the automobile business today. The automobile dol lar will buv more than the dollar in any other line of business. Saving millions is public service and serving the public pars. That i what the automobile industry believe. 4 vsm MOToitrvr i.k -j' "AS'nKMVERY VAX ' : j .p.

Inc., St, Louis, comes word that production of this pop ular model on the Gardner six cylinder chassis is now in full swing. The first of the new cars to reach here came in during the past week and is vow being dis played by Burdett Albee, local Gardner representatives. In ' appearance, this newest Gardner six is almost Identical with I the Gardner eight-In-line foursome cabriolet. Its : wind shield is the very latest sport type, designed so as to eliminate the usual blind corner and give perfectly clear vision. The entire windshield Is a solid aluminum casting. Another new and novel feature Is the use of attractive corner post lights for interior illumina tion, which not only provide abun dant light but add a finishing touch ,ln keeping with the rest of the car. The main seat Is unusually wide and roomy, and the entire interior upholstered in the same fine qual ity of mohair as is used In the eight-cylinder model.

DANZIG The trade war be tween Poland and Germany now In progress may have one benefl rlent result in the opinion of many Danzig business men. If it will mean the deflection of Upper Si leslaa coal to the countries bor slerlng upon the Baltic sea which were formerly a part of the Rus sian empire. Such a deflection would, in their opinion, prove an advantage to four interested promising new market in exchange groups: the Poles would have for the German; Danzig would gain much new business as the khipping port: the Baltic countries could obtain the coal more cheap ly than they can now buy English coal; Germany conld dispose of her : Ruhr coal w ithout the inter ference of Upper Silesian coal, competition. I To effect such a fundamental transformation. Dantig must im prove its loading and unloading facilities. At present it can take care of 30.000 tons of coal a month, but it is said that the ma chinery for transhipment from railway to ocean going vessels is not as up-to-date and time-saving as it should be. There Is, there fore, a campaign under way among the business men for remedying this situation and equipping Dan xig properly. .The people of Danzig are the innocent victims of another phase of the rate war between Germany and. Poland. Goods of purely Dan zig origin may go to Germany un molested and In return foodstuffs and other articles Intended purely for Danzig are permitted to come into the free city exempt. as a matter oi ract mere are practically no "goods of purely Danzig origin," consequently ex emptlng that class of merchan dise affords little comfort to the Danzig business man. While foodstuffs may come from Germany Into Dantig unaffected by the tariff war. the people of Danzig get little benefit. There are no customs barriers between Danzig and Pcland. the two hav- ' ing been inseparably linked by the treaty of Versailles In a customs union. Thus. Danzig dealers find it more profitable to pass these German foodstuffs on to Poland where they can obtain better pric es fcr them.
