An entirety new Blunt on the used car, elevating U to Us right ful place in the industry, was taken by l. II. Grant, vice presi dent In charge, of snlcB or the Clievrolet Motor company just j prior to Hulling on a month's trip j to Kuiope. A copy of the inter view has Just been received hero by the Pierce-Allen Motor com pany, local .Chevrolet dealers. "As evidence of the growing tin -portuncco ft he used car," said .Mr. Allen, "It is pointed out by Mr. Grant that during the first quarter of 1028 the Chevrolet deal ers of tho country while moving '1 50, 000 new cars delivered ut re tail more than L'UO.OUO used auto mobiles. "In his interview Mr. tlrnnt as eerts that whereas the dealer for merly paid little attention to the used car, the proportion of used to new car Kates has mounted so high that automubileH which have seen service arc now an Important part ' of IiIh business. Today vir tually all Chevrolet dealers have Ducoing equipment w i t h which they refin ih used cars In a man ner similar to the factory. Cars are gone over from headlights to tail lamp by skilled mechanics: and reconditioned cars bear an '(). K.' tag1. Lenient time payments aro made available to the purchaser. "Of sumo Uli.UUO.UOO passenger cars now registered in the United Stales it Is estimated that approxi mately iHi per cent uro in the hands of thoir second or third owners. In other words. 15,000,000 motorists aro now riding In cars that were purchased on resale. Eliminate tho Used car from the market and a goodly share of those millions would be denied tho use of a car, while most of tho 1 0,000,000 remaining would bo driving automobiles that do not measure up to their ideas of style simply becauso they could pet no trado-In allowance and: would re fuse to scrap theii-'cars with un-' used value remaining in them." A new and improved socket power receiver to bo known as the . T 1 HCA Itadiola 18 has just been an nounced by Mr. l-'robach of South ern Oregon Klectric of this city, to supersede the popular Itadiola 17. Entirely self-contained and ex tremely compact, Uadlola IS re quires no batteries or external radio power units, but plugs di rectly into the nearest A-C elec tric light socket or outlet for its inexhaustible supply of uniform power. With simplified precision tuning, substantial volume and realism of tone, and finely bal anced -sensitivity and selectivity, Itadiola 18 has all tho basic fea tures which have made Its prede cessor an outstanding success, while selling at an o,ven lower price, the announcement declares. In addition, the laboratory tech nicians of the nadio Corporation of America and its associated com panies have further improved se lectivity so that sharper tuning is rovpided with the new receiver. An improved form of KCA tuned radio-frequency circuit is em ployed, comprising three stages of radio-frequency amplification, de tector and two stages' of audio frequency amplification. Kour A-C radiotrons UX-'Jlifi, one UV-27 and a power amplifier radiotron UX-1 7 1-A aro employed, as well as a rectifying radiotron UX-1IS0 for suplying plato voltages. E P New spring automobiles, fresh from the factory, cost less per pound than the butter, coffee and tea of the average American fam ily, according to statistics worked out by the mathematically minded employes of Dodge Brothers, I mi. The new Standard six sedan of the company costs 33 cents a pound, the Victory six sedan costs 10 cents a pound and the Senior six sedan costs approximately 4 5 cents a pound. Average food prices as of January 1 5th as compiled by the U. H. bureau of labor statistics show coffee selling at 4N.5 cents per pound, butter at 57.8 cents per pound and tea at 77.4 cents per pound. The Standard Six sedan, selllug ut J8J5, weighs 2,7 LM pounds. Twenty-four years of automotive progress have brought a steady increase in the buying power of the motor car dollar. The average man can buy five closed cars to day for the price of one of the clumsy panting limousines on tho market In 1A04. if he purchases a car selling approximately in the $1000 class. These statistics appear inconsis tent with figures Just announced showing the purchasing power of ttia .Ullnn no nmnetlrnH hi tllri avcrnse livlns co-Uat 62.1 cent during March compared with the dollar of 1914 according to the National Industrial conference board. But In the automotive mar ket, with highly efficient manufac turing precede., the dollar ha. leached tt po-ltion where It repre sents more value than at any period In the Industry's hlmory.

'chl-' cago. Willett, Clark & Colby. Shoddy is dead wool -rags sal vage of raw material which Is not raw material a short cut to new cloth. In the case of Hishop Par telmy Bonafede, of whom '"Shod dy" Is written, it made, him an easy picker upi of borrowed and re worked ideas, and put into his heurt the perpetual dread of being discovered for other than what he seemed. The book Is a story of the de velopment of a young Knclish boy into a bishop of the Methodist church and the part which his early environment played In un folding of bis character.' which, like his work, is shoddy. Tho book contains some marvelous character lttmUcs nnd a keon 1,ml liu-trutlng 11li(lii-ut 11 nftlriir nf 1 or 1i,ii)1jiii f.-.ii.i understanding of Methodism from tho country stretches to the more . complicated, and less frank city I pulpits. i The author understands his lead ing character and still better makes the reader understand him. ! Two violent contrasts In the book f come from the presentation of the two leading women in it, Viola ! Dimont, calculating, beautiful, far- j seeing, who marries Partelmy ! Bonafede and makes a bishop of him, and Effle Bailey, demure, sweet, puzzled childhood sweet- J heart of Bartelmy, who is jilted by i him and marries Peter Middleton. These four aro the outstanding I characters in the novel, and it is' their story and the story of their j two. children which carry the theme thru to a surprising conelu-I sion. Tho start is slow and cliff i- ! cult, but the action becomes im- I measurably speeded up as the i story grows. i GLORIA AMOK1A, by Charles' Daniels. San Francisco. Har'r ! Wagner. ! Having a strange antlpatliy for j sonnets, it Is rat her hard for the reviewer to criticize the opening section of Mr. Daniels' book. Some may be good flonnets, and some of them uro probably very bad son nets, but who reads sonnets any more? The hitler part of the book Is de voted to "Gloria Amoiia" which Is written in rut her a trying style; "Lyrical Poems" which are much better than the two groups before mentioned; und two long poems which justify the book. These longer poems uro "The Tropics; a Ch price," nnd a medley called 'Merry Party on Capri." The lat ter eraevls a hitherto unguessed sense of humor on the part of the author, with some rather nice bits of verse interspersed with varia tions: "Hut ha! lift! hu! Kor a soldier boy was he! . Ha! ha! Ha! ha! Than tu light he would rather flee! Tho corpse, of u fly Was as huge to his eyo Ah the corpse of a major and three As . . wo . . were . . drink . . lug red . . Cap . . ri!" Tin.0 Tin al o?Vary dug a n, by Bayard Bel Her. New York. Samuel French. A melodramatic play enacted In t be court room Is "The Tria I of Mary Dugan." The girl Is, accused of having murdered a man named Hice. who was found dead In her rooms. The case seems to bo very complete against her: thero seems ti be only on decision possible from the Jury. Mary's defense is baffled at every turn. Then Mary's brother enters the scene. He takes over tho defense himself, and sud- j denly a change in tho turn of the trial takes place. The denouement Is a surprising one, the action reaching a highly nielodra malic climax just before the end. The solution rests upon the simple fact that the murderer us'ff his left hand to stag the man named Rice, and In establishing this fact nnd its connection with cw. the brother. Jimmy Uu- nan, provides tho audience with many thrills. TIIK EARLY I.IKK AND T,BT TIOHS OF LfTIICn HL'HBAXK. by Kmma Hurhank Be.-son. San Krancl.-co. Ilarr Wagner.
