And on i February 1 S thereWere more unfilled orders with immediate shipping Instruc tions ym file at the Olds Motor . Worlds., Lansing. Michigan, than the scheduled production i for . the remainder of themonth'. .'' .Thfjse facts tend to substantiate - the optimistic attitude of busi ness experts regarding the 192 au torn o tire industry.1 A year ago conditions were considered good by Ordsmoblle officials. But the start tpt this year Indicates that all previous records will again be br&kea by this veteran of the automobile business.; t Ananalysla of retail cales so far tikd year shows a strong de mand;for the second and third car amon families. Each individual adaltoday, according to the sur vey. Is tdeslrous of owning their own car, and the only limitations' to th number of potential buyers are financial ability and the num ber of. adults in the country. This feature - has been most strikingly brought out in the ana lysis of sales of the DeLuxe four passenger roadster and the two passenger coupe two models in troduced by Oldmoblle at the New York automobile show. The road-j ster has found ready sale among two predominating classes. One Is composed of women who own a closed car in choosing a second ' car prefer an open model built along the graceful and sportive lines of the roadster. The second class is the younger set and men who use a car In business. When the new ; Oldamoblle coupe was introduced, It was. thought, that It would absorb part of the coach sales. But so far this has not been the case, the sale of the coach and sedan the two other closed Oldsmoblle : types continuing without change. The sales records show that the coupe found a new class of buyers for itself. ' ' ' The large demand fori Oldsmo blle so far this year has called Into use the additional room and equipment Installed at the factory at Lansing on January. MANY TOOLS USED IN REPAIR PLANT (Continacd from page 1.) work in record time. , "No, time is wasted in our shop'Mr. Parker went on. "Every tool in-this house is designed to perform some certain operation on your Ford -car. When one of our mechanics uses it, he returns it to its place for the use. of the next man. Of course, - much of our equipment is duplicated to enable the same job to be done on sev eral cars at the same time. "But the thing we stress, guar anted work at a fair price, and out on time, necessitates that we take every '"possible opportunity here to save time to keep our men busy while they are on duty and to enable them to work fast, easily and comfortably. A man .can get genuine pleasure out of making a repair Job If he has the correct .tools to work with and knows ex actly where to find them when he needs them." A standardised, efficient meth od for doing each job produces much better results and makes faster service. The mechanic knows right where to start, just what to do next. Just what tools to have ready and the ordinary run of jobs go through the shop at a rate that Is truly astounding. In the front axle department, 71 tools are provided, each numbered and in place, ready to thedand of the mechanic. ' , FORCED OILING IS USED mGIl SPEED ENGINE CALLS FOR PRESSURE SYSTEM One of the greatest' ; develop ments in the field of low-cost motor cars, according to P. Q. Delano, a local Star car 'dealer, lias been comparatively high speed forced : feed lubricated motors. This - tvpe is built into both the Star Six and the Star Four. Oil Is pumped to ' all reciprocating parts of the motor under rlgh pressure,' Insuring perfect lubri cation regardless of the speed of the motor. From this, according; to the Salem Auto Co.. has ; come rreater flexibility and a smoother action t in '. smaller type power plants, as well as greater acceleration. ICY BATH SELLS AUJO; SALESMAN OBTAINS DELIVERY AFTER FREAK WAGER FIRST RADIO CATHEDRAL NOW UNDER 1 H U CONSTRUCTION IN HEART OF CAPITAL . . A drawing showing how the natio nal Episcopal , cathedral, "Americ Westminister -Abbey," will look when completed. Insert is MaJ. Gen. George O. Sqnier. A "v-I,k -M I WASHINGTON The national Episcopal cathedral.; . "America's Westminister Abbey." now slowly rlslng on a spot overlooking the heart of the capital, will be the world's first "radio cathedral." It Is being built to make the greatest possible use of broadcast ing. One section of the structure now is being used for services, and the Rt. Rev. James E. Freeman, bis hop of Washington has been so impressed with the results he, has already attained through the ex tension of church cervices by rad io that he has called together ex perts to advise him regarding pro bable developments in radio tech nique and how they may be struct urally anticipated in the building of the new cathedral. Maj. Gen. George O. Sauler, Army Signal Corps. Is rhlrman of the committee of experts. . James G. Harbord president Radio Corps, of America, is a member. The plans must be completed soon, inasmuch as the pouring of concrete for the massive founda tions is now rapidly going forward and parts of the structure are al ready nearing completion. . General Squler in speaking about the work 'said:' : "Nothing else like radio has ever been conceived in history for spreading the Gospel. With radio the pews of the Washington cath-i edral may be made to extend to the ends of the country. The real pews would be the fireside chairs. Every chair in every home would thus become a seat In this vast cathedral. "The words of the bishop would reach the man by his fireside in Oklahoma before they are heard by the worshipper in the cathedral pew. This would be literally true, inasmuch as the visible audience would hear the sound at the rate of 1,100 feet a second, while by radio, to the invisible people, it travels 186.000 miles a second, the velocity of light." It is planned to set aside certain parts of the cathedral to be the burial place of great statesmen, soldiers and other notables. ; This J was begun by placing the bpdies of Bishop Satterlee, Bishop Hard ing, Woodrow Wilson and Admiral Dewey there. These ceremonies in the future could be participated in by the entire nation instead of the comparatively few who would be able to make the journey to the capital to witness it. The cathedral would be able not only to broadcast a ceremony, but could also receive services from other cathedrals. Future radio plans call for the broadcasting of great preaching, of Easter and Christmas services, or a choral service such as "The Messiah." as is given in Westmin ister Abbey and St. Paul's Lon don. With that in mind, plenty of space is being planned to conceal a large symphony orchestra on one side of the choir and a choral society on the other. In addition to this, there would be the regular church vested choir of men and boys, which, of course,' would be visible. Then, when the vested choir would swing into "The Mes siah" it would have the augument ed volume of the hidden orchestra and chorus to make it the most thrilling thing possible, for the cathedral would afford all the vaulted space for the sound to go through. The plan Is for the cathedral to be a place for national thought and exceptional music as well as a great building, and to have this conveyed to the people everywhere by the means of radio.

The Oregon state highway com mission is not in sympathy with the principle of privately owned toll bridges over navigable waters and especially when the bridges connect state or federal highway systems, according to a telegram prepared by the commission here for consideration of the federal bureau of public roads. The telegram was prepared in response to a query received from the bureau of public roads as to the attitude of the commission In connection with a bill now before congress authorizing Comer and Vandercook to construct and oper ate a bridge across the Columbia river between a point at or near Longview in Cowlitz county. Wash., and at a point at or near Rainier in Columbia county, Ore. The bill provides, according to Information received by the high way commission, for the acquisi tion of the bridge by the state or their political subdivisions, jointly or severally, at any time after 25 years from the completion of the bridge. Although opposed to the princi ple of. privately owned bridges over navigable waters, the high way commission telegraphed, to the federal bureau of roads that it favored the regulatory feature contained in the original bridge bill which was approved on Feb. 28, 1925. This bill provided for the approval of design, plans and specifications by the highway de partments of Oregon and Wash ington and in addition it was re commended that the state high way departments be authorized to make inspections during the per iod of construction to insure in tegrity of the work and full com pliance with the plans and speci fications, with special reference to submerged foundations. "Open and competitive bidding is necessary," read the commis sion's telegram, "and provision should be made for the acquisition of bridges by the states or coun ties after not to exceed 10 years with definite terms for determin ing their value. The Oregon state law provides that the Port of Portland must approve vertical and horizontal clearances of struc tures over the Columbia river be tween Portland and the sea." The bill now before congress was referred to the federal bureau of roads by the senate committee on commerce. English Girl Spends Three Years Teaching Esquimos LONDON.
