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.

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

the purchase price of a new Gra
ham Brothers bus.
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

Belleville to Mascoutah. 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.
