4 i 1 s .4 The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, uregon, Sunday Morning. August 25, 1929 PAGE ELEVEN MM C IB ITS KENT 115 ' Ni material mid-season chan ge! will be made in the 1929 mod cU of the Oakland All-American Six and the Pontiac big six, It Is announced by W. R. Tracy, vice president In charge of sales for the Oakland Motor car company. In previous years it had ben tha policy of the Oakland Motor car company to introduce a new Hue of Oakland sixes in mid-summer and new Pontiac models at t:i3 bejinning cf the year. As a r-.Mv.lt of this policy, the factory recently received many inquiries regarding it? plans for the re nt inder of the year. "So charges are needed." Mr. Tiacy explained. "The sustained demand for these cars offers the b'-'n proof that they continue to ls l t'ut ir respective fields in ap pearance, engineering and per formance. Model changes Invariably are made to keep cars abreast of the p)jular demand for style and per r uniance. It will be remembered tin, the present Oakland Allr Aruerican six was not introduced In mid-summer bat in November of last year. The new Pontiac big bU followed last January. Many revolutionary advances gave tliese card such a distinct identity and place! t'.:cm so far ahead of cur rent practice that they are aj new t Jday as when they fir3t entered t'.iHi market. To change modeU n w would mean to alter futures wliir'u t'ae public very evidently wants. Tim is as true of the over seas market as of the domestic field, for our export sales reveal hi gratifying, gains as those at bj'.ne. Nash Illustrates Transportation Progress . v2 I.- -i mm im m a.

Stolen Hungarian Crown '- Jewels Reported Found In French African Area HI HYGIENE IS DECUffl HEEDED By DOUGLAS A. TllOil (Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases) ' BOSTON'. (AP) No matter livnr much education teaches us a'out life and the world in which we l;e, if it does not teach us the fundamental p:incipies of how to live It fa'.l3 to ccLCLijilEh its pur poe. The nuc'al iyglenist should co- operata v. ith the euueator in try la? t-j help tLe student adjust himself to the best advantage of LU hic-.i'.eci'aa: endowment. Mtat?.l Lvfcierics contribution t education is threefold first, to ai'l la the development of the child's personality traits during ttn plastic period of the pre sc'iJol years: second, by making mental hygiene pa:t of the teach er' course of insuuetion in nor mal schools and colleges; third, titat the educator may utilize the services of the mental hygienlst la order to help solve the more i:i'ri:ate and intangible problems tint arise in the field of educa tion, either in the nursery school, lii?! school, or college. Most of life's situations are of li mible origin and have to do with comparatively- simple ad- j Htments such as getting oa with our neighbors, friends and fellow workers. The mental fcygienist looks up on conduct as the reaction of the Individual to his environment and although this is of paramount im p)itance socially it Is only a gMid post to the fundamental motives. Conduct always must be interpreted in terms of the in dividual' past experience. It must be looked UDon as only a 'svniptom and not a disease. We cannot expect a normal child to adjust to an abnormal environment without a resentful and rebellious attitude which oft e:i li looked upon as abnormal Tin child who has outbursts of t? in per. is Jealous, selfish and cruel, does not find the task of heiuir educated either easy or plsant. Tim fact that tbe principles of mental hygiene have- been sue cesfuUy applied to medicine, in dustry, delinquency in fact, to the solution of all social problems lads us to. believe that it ha an important place awaiting it in t'-i; field of education. By GEORGE HALADJIAX Associated Press Correspondent) BNDAPEST (AP) The "Hapaburg Treasure," the Hun garian crom Jewels which were stolen from Vienna in 1927, are reported as having turned up lit French Morocco. Police of this kingdom and of France are work ing on the case. A member of ex-Empress Zita's household, who followed the royal family into exile In Spain, said that these Jewels should not be confused with the family jewels belonging to the late Emperor Carl. Those were dissipated, this court official said, by Jewel sharks who sold them for less than their real value and squandered the proceeds, leaving Zita and her eight children destitute. The Jewels reported to have been found In Africa were those set in the diadem, surmounted by crown of St. Stephen, which the late Empress Maria Theresa used to wear on speial occasions in the royal palace In Budapest. Accord ing to the police report an Italian offered them for sale to a Jewish dealer at Saffi. French Morocco. The dealer Informed the police and the Italian was arrested. He Is said to have pleaded that he was the innocent tool of persons prominent in the social life of Austria, The family jewels form the sub ject of another story. Large quan tities of diamonds, pearls, rubles and emeralds, many of them wed ding presents to Zita, have been auctioned In London, Paris and Geneva and the member of her household who told about them said that some of those gems are being worn by rich Americans who are unaware of their orgtn. When Carl abdicated In 1918, he and his family were allowed to take only personal jewelry into ex ile with them. Large quantities of them were sold in 1921 and 1922 by Baron Charles Steiner, master ot the late emperor's household. In 1921 Zita began suit in Switzerland to recover some of the proceeds from these sales. It was charged that the baron had disposed of a number of gems without her knowledge at too low a price and without giving her the benefit of the proceeds. She ac cused Steiner of embezzlement, but the Swiss courts dismissed the action and gars the baroa nomi nal damages of 101 francs. The ex-empress then turned to the French courts and brought suit against some Parisian jewel era In the Rue da la Palx, the Fifth avenue of the French apl tai, charging that they bad ac quired at high prices many ot the jewels which Baron Steiner had sold in Switzerland. The jewelers rejoined that they had bought the stones in good faith through an Intermediary af ter they had convinced themselves that this agent had full authority to conduct the transactions. They further contended that the pur chase money had been duly turned over to Zita, Archduke Max, Zi ta's brother-in-law, and the Princes Sixte and Xaiier de Bour bon de Parme testified in behalf of Zita, but again her suit was dismissed.

(AP) Imagine a train of 200 freight cars filled with grain from a single farm project, covering more than SO square miles I i That degree of mass production has bean achieved in 10 north western Kansas counties by the Wheat Farming company, a $1,- 500,000 corporation, which owns and farms 33,000 acres. Without using a single horse, the concern this year is harvest ing a grain crop, mostly wheat, that probably will total 400.000 bushels enough to fill more than 200 freight cars. A yield of nearly 300,000 bushels of wheat alone is assured. This company, whose stock holders exceed 800 and include retired farmers, doctors and field workers, has pioneered in large scale production in the wheat belt. It is the largest farm project in Kansas and probably in the entire southwest. J. S. Bird, of Hays, where the world's largest farm experiment station Is located, is the compa ny's president Formerly, a college chemistry professor, he has a background of years ot experience In Kansas dry farming. Experts manage this gigantic factory-like enterprise. The land Is divided Into units ot approximate ly 5,000 acres, with a foreman In charge of each. A production man ager, a specialist In soil manage ment and machine farming, super vises the operations. Grain is sold under the direction of a sales man ager. - The concern's equipment in eludes 13 tractors, 11 combined harvester-threshers and swathers, several heavy trucks and propor tionate amount ot other machin ery. That outlay is eapable of cut ting and threshing upwards ot 2, 000 acres of wheat dally. The swather, a new machine In the wheat belt. Is used because It cuts grain at an earlier stage than is possible with a combine. Cut stalks are strung out In long win dows by swathers, and combines thresh it a few days later. So efficient are production methods on this farm that wheat can be raised for less than half the amount common to unorganized farming. The company cost ac counting system shows $4.64 per acre as the cost of production Mo3t Kansas farmers list $10 for that expense. Last year the company paid a dividend of 12.5 per cent. A dozen similar concerns are being organ ized in efforts to equal that reo- ord. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Expedi tions handling of the northwest's grain crop in August and Septem ber is a problem with unusual complications. The difficulty arises from a heavy carryover of wheat from last year and the recent rise in gram prices. In the face of an Increase or 110.000,000 bushels over the 1927 carryover, wheat receipts at me 13 principal market terminals to talled 112,000,000 bushels be tween July 1 and August 3. From that figure it is observ ed that the crop of winlar wheat has been piling into trade chan nels at a tremendous rate. Re ceipts for the same period last year were only 89,000,000 bush els. To complicate matters furth er, the spring wheat crop ot some 300,000,000 bushels will start to market in September. The carryover from 1928 had left 44,741,000 bushels ot wheat in farm storage July 1, as com pared to 23,729.000 bushels last year; 48,279,000 bushels as against 31,920,000 In merchant mills, and 90.501,000 bushels as against 33,578,000 bushels in the visible supply ot that amount act ually in trade channels. Including grain afloat, the world's available supply was esti mated at 351,000,000 bushels as against 245,000,000 in 1927. Reports from principal wheat producing countries concerning present production, however, lead to anticipation of a substantial re duction in the world supply as compared with last year. The federal farm boarddlscus ing overcrowded terminals and transportation facilities, observes that it "seems unfortunate to crowd wheat onto the market fast er than existing facilities can handle it, resulting in cash prices which are much lower than con tract prices for future delivery." Previously, the department of agriculture had recommended farm storage to stabilize prices. The chief protagonist in the an nual autumn battle for orderly marketing is the Northwest Ship pers' Advisory board, composed of representatives of carriers, ship pers, elevator operators, farm or ganizations, state railway commis sions and traffic experts. During the last decade, this group has been able, through careful planning months in ad vance, to reduce grain "tie-ups." Before its creation, tie-ups were notorious in the northwest and in many shipping points grain was so abundant and cars so scare, that great piles of wheat stretched along the right-of-way. Still, unsatisfactory port and terminal situations confront ship pers this year. The working cap acity of terminals at Minneapolis, ROTHSCHILD IH USED FOR THEATRE PARIS (AP) Rothschild mil lions have created a -new" thea ter, new to France and Europe, and new, it is clalmod. to the world. It is a playhouse where all the modern artists and engineers could think of has had a chance to be used. Baron Henri de Rothschild, suc cessful dramatist under the name of Andre Pascal, has taken almost five years to build the Theater Pillage which will open in Octo ber. Rothschild had a score of archi tects, engineers and artists travel to find ideas and he had much that was built torn down to make way for newly thought of improve ments. So now on a site 125 by 123 feet there stands the best that French brains and unlimited mpney could build. Psychology plays a large part in the design.

Kl'HNS A-AflrUted I'lfs Feature Writer NEW YORK. AP) American Investors contribute approximately- $1.000,0U(('"O yearly to stock swindlers. And that conrribntion is attrib ute to a combination of tenor-a-ice in financial matters and t'ae gambling instinct, by 33 expert fraud fighters. The National P.i-tter Business p.ureau has evolved a plan for the eiu-ation ot the general public aloni? financial lines designed to fortifv small investors in their dealings with" distributors of se rnritifts. The plan divides itself into five part?: (1) A series of 52 posters has bon prepared for weekly distribu tion to industrial concerns. They picture the evils of careless invest ment and are supplemented by bulletins going jiiore deeply into the subject of stock frauds. , (2) A bookie of practical fi nancial InfornJttJn for theave rage Investor will-be distributed through bank?, publishers and in dustrial executive. (3) The bureau will establish a branch in any community desir ing it. (4) Special efforts will be made to protect investors from fraud under various "customer-ownership" projects. The bureau wilt conduct an Intensified campaign to obtain the cooperation of all agencies inter ested In the suppression of stock frauds. Comparing the Oakland All-American Six with 20 other medium -priced automobiles WHELLBASB PISTON DISPLACEMENT FISHER BOOT What the feature mean to you v Reasonably long wheel base gives greater riding ease and road balance. Also permits use of longer, smarter, room ier bodies. At the tame time, a small turning circle is essential to handling ease. Large piston displace- ' mentis needed to develop high power at moderate engine speed. Moderate engine speed is an im portant factor in the life of a car. No name in automobile coach building means so much as Fisher. Fisher bodies are famous for style, luxury and roomi ness. In addition, they bold such advantages as sturdy composite hard wood and steel construc tion, W windshield, side cowl ventilation and adjustable drivers' seats. A revolutionary achieve ment in cooling systems. Eliminates losses of water or alcohol through boiling. Thermostat checks flow of water until correct operating temperature is reached. No radiator shutters or h?at indicators to bother with. For safety, efficiency, convenience, smoothness and silence, nothing has been found to compare with internal-expanding mechanical 4-wheel serv ice brajsrtth non squeatf bands.

All other cars use the down flow radiator, this de spite tbe fact that 13 of the 20 are higher -priced than Oakland. Only Oakland and one other car, costing $200 more, use the fine type of brakes described op posite. And no car in the field equals Oakland's 290 square inches of brake band area. Oak land's separate emer gency brake operates oa the transmission. Seven cars in the field have no separate emergency brakes, although three of them exceed Oakland in price.
