Tjese losses have been rising steadily, railroad claim agents say. The payments of railroiid companies' for livestock losses ore considered in fixing freight rnti's and charges. Yet at least DO per cent of u.l live stock losses in transit are prevent able, say officials of the new organ ization. More, than, a fourth of the losses in 1023 were traced to the responsibility of the producers, feed ers nnd shippers, ' These were at tributed to preventable diseases, con gestion of the lungs, improper feed ing and care, use of pn d poles, and insufficient exercise during heavy feeding. Losses under cont rol of the rail roads were attributed to defectiv equipment, rough handling, wrecks, fire nnd loss on water. ' .

The Star Oupster, a new type of automobile that im certain because i its utilitarian features to win instant approval from car buyer, is an nounced by the Durdut Motor com pany of ( uiifornia and has been pined on display by the I,une Auto company, local iStar car dealers.

It is finished in blue lacquer, has n grained leather t' p and is uphoi stered in Spani-h gray lea the '. Natural finis- wood wheels, and b.tl loon tires, set off the new ear ad ninthly. Fenders and running gear are in black. There is a large, roomy compart inent under the rear deck for carry ing practically any number of small articles, and which will accommodate a quantity of u teases, bags :r port folios. I or this reason, according to Kenneth Able., there will be a m' demand for the car from doctor-, nurses, professional men nnd women, and salesmen. The name "Con paler,' unique as a type of nut mobile, has been pro tected by government register. Ac cording to thf Star oiticia.s, th;s mime combines both coupe and rond ter in its make-up.

Above the doors are the sliding w ndows, whicii slide into the top by a clever arrange ment, and which -may be raised or lowered at will. These are fimule extremely durable because of the constant ue to which they will be subjected. Somewhat nfter the fashion of the recently introduced Star conch, the coupster is an all-year car. He-cause, nf this reason alone, both are' destined to reach supreme heights in demand.! The coupster may be made just nn i snug as the eon(u, because its sid ing windows are well fitted. The new model seats two passen gers. .... The local Stnr ear dealer states that the new model will be the recipient of great approval hy car buyers, because of its instant adapti biiity and because of great records that have followed the intnxlucti'-n of the 'Million Dollar Motor," FLOATLESS CARBURETOR A new! type of enrburetor In Eng land has no float nor fuel feed mechanism.
