THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON " SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 6, 1925 iRADIO CHATS WH Brovel Crosley. Jr 1 ii '.v-? W: The problem ' of broadcasting I dora -war upon each other. Preju over an area where the same lan- J dices are broken, down and na--Kuage is spoken, such as in the t Hon points of view are appreeiat- United States for example, is com paratltely simple. On the European contl nent, however, the programs of any one country can easily be heard In eit other nations. In India, weber broadcasting ia getting a start, there are 13 ? different languages. These" latter facts give food for verious thought. Will ; radio be the' means of bringing' about a universal language, which would! undoubtedly lead to a brotherhood of mankind and possibly lasting world pea'-e? It not this, as least it 'seems that one or two of the present spoken", languages will dominate.; in International radio programs, and through this dom ination one-or more of these lan guages will become. universal. If either otthese two -suppositions occur, the result would seem to make for better relations be tween nations. Feople who under hand each other thoroughly sel- ed. The radio is Just another step which israakipg for. better world understanding. - This movement was launched with the steam ocomotive. and has gained impetus through the steamboat, the motion picture, the motor car and the .airplane. Two recent events indicate this world neighborhoodliness will be extended. One is the arrange ment for International broadcast ing bettwen this country and Eng land in 1926, and the other is the request of the Soviet in Jlowow for the introduction of American radio apparatus. In the light of the marvelous mechanical development in the last quarter of A century, it is not presumptuous to picture world-wide broadcasting, with the necessary adoption of one univer sal or three " or four dominant languages a3 the medius for these programs. Transocean Radio Movies:SoorifHe Says A NEW GAS-ELECTRIC STAGES - - ARE DISPLAYED FIRST TIME (From Automotive Daily News) " t)ETU01T Dorris Motors. Inc. t, IauIs, Mo., Is exhibiting at the National Bus Show pon gas electric buses, using General Elec tric equipment; In - the buses shown, one of which Is' pictured above, there is only one accelerator pedal, oper ating, the engine throttle. This permits th driver to keep his hands on the steering wheel. The acceleration fate is entirely auto matic, depending on the generator and the motor; it is not depend ent. Von the discretion of the driver. As the engine normally oper ates at speeds which give higlf thermal efficiency, it is claimed that greater mileage per gallon is obtained; In cold climates, the electric drive offers certain win ter advantages and operates with fc-reater efficiency. : The engine is not raced while gears are being: shifted and the operationof the clutch is outside of the driver's control. Slower engine speeds mean longer bear ing life.,On a 10-top schedule, a bus with mechanical drive, run ning 180 miles per day. with three shifts per start, will make TitOO gear shirts.- The electric drSvcn coach covering the tame mileage and same number of stgps has no gear shifts at all and only iSOO Mtarting impulses, which, be cause of the installation, are smooth and free from jerk or strain on the driving mechanism. Dorris "engineers huve devel oped the Dorris motor coach over a period ol years. The, chassis i.s neither that of a passenger car nor a freight truck: it is designed to combine the flexibility and speed of the one with the rugged" ness and durability of the other. It is built in two cizes Model 1,6 and Model M4, planned to rover practically the entire field of mo tor coach operation.' lioth models are equipped -with the Dorris Distillator, a patented device to insure vaporization of the heavy ends of fiasoline which passes the carburetor and. belong it enters the cylinders, ordinarily works past the pistons' into the crankcase, thereby iniparing the lubricating qualities of the oil. The distillator is designed to correct the trouble by preventing the unvaporized fuel from enter ing tne cylinders at all: it is trapped in the exhaust manifold and in small reservoirs, placed under each intake ports. Here the liquid fuel remains until the tem perature has grown high enough to vaporize it. The vapor is then caught up and carried into the combustion chamber. What are aimed at by the' man ufacturers are economy of fuel and lubricating oil, prolonged life for engine and bearings and elimination of abnormal wear of i'A - 0 11 II . . t&AJLLii a.

During this period of service the motor required the following repairs and replacement parts: Two sets of pistons, three star ter chains, two ..sets plstQn pins and bushings, distributor gears, piston rings, two sets valve guides, valvfr. lifters and valves, motor gaskets, water pump and fan shaft , replacement parts, clutch and transmission parts. .

Be-lleyllio to Scott Aviation Field and num- jrous special trips; It was out of service for repairs and adjust xnents a total of five days during this period. No special attention was ever given other than dally routine inspection, lubrication and adjustments. Since purchasing this original bus we have from time to time added to our equipment and now have nine Graham Brothers buses and are using this equipment ex all gasoline, comparative freedom from carbon troubles and fouled spark plugs. A quick get-away, regardless ef temperature condi tions, is claimed to be one of the results of utilizing the distillator. Besides the two types of chas sis, Dorris makes three types of standard bodies the parlor car. the'sedan an dstreet car, or pay enter type. The L6 coach chassis provides for a body with a seat ing capacity of 2; to 30 passen gers; the Ml coach chassis pro vides for a body carrying IS to 21. The Dorris exhibit includes a parlor car coach seating 2 5 pas sengers, with a smaller compart ment seating nine more, at the renr, available as a smoking com partment or for a private party. A sliding door, with glass upper half, closes this compartment from the forward section of he coach. Uphostery is in real Spanish, maroon leather. Each individual wicker chair is fitted with an air cushion, for additional easy rid ing qualities. WALTER P. CHRYSLER'S TRAFFIC TALKS Berlin Tries Electric Signals Traffic STI DEXT PUESS WEIA OME!) El'KKXR, Or., Pec. 4 Five hundred high school editors, re porters and presidents of student bodies in Oregon were welcomed to the university of Oregon an'd the annual press conference here The person who goes to Berlin for the first time is impressed by the fact that in Paris and London and New York one sees so many more cars on the streets.
