. "Lying about 600-miles up the
Yangtze, Hankow is as Important
geographically., to either of , the
warring ructions as Chicago would
'be if a civil war were raging In
ithe United ' States. Hankow has
only one. railroad but the rivers

mercltil arteries from which pro
duce from nine provinces flows
into the Hankow markets, while
the port is equally Important as a
distributing, point for foreign
commerce destined to the Chinese
interior.- V , ; ..

"Hankow occupies the north
bank of the Yangtze where the
Han pours its muddy torrent. On
the oposlte side of the Han lies
Hanyang, and across the mile-wide
Yangtze, Wuchang, the latter a
venerable ' town which was
nourishing when Hankow was a
fishing hamlet. Both Hanyang
and Wuchang now are a part of
'greater Hankow' with more than
1,500,000 Inhabitants.
; "The Hankow river front is an
amazing conglomeration of ship
ping. There aro ungainly Junks,
but they move about the water in
the hands of export rivermen as
easily as modern vessels in our
busy eoBtrn harbors. Some of
them, .displaying rotten hulks with
gaping' holes above the water line,
cause the traveler to wonder how
they stay afloat, while now and
then "a ' huge' high-pooped craft,
adorned -' with " brightly painted
jcarvlngs and plates that make it
look like, a floating circus wagon,
edges Its way shoreward.

The Reo Motor Car company re
ports that shipments (or the month

month. i' Total shipments, accord
ing: to Richard II. Scott, president
and general manager of the com
pany, were .6716, almost-equally
divided between ploasure cars and
Speed Wagons. These totals, ac
cording to Mr. Scott's statement,
compare with 4tll vehicles In
March of this year, and with G217
In April of last year.
"Our shlpmnnts for the calendar
year to date," states Mr. Scott,
"are running aliovfl 20 per cent
nJtead of the shipments for the cor
responding year a year ago, which',
it will be recalled, was our biggest
year. The rate at which retail de
liveries are being reported, the
condition of dealer stocks through

of unfilled orders with which we
entered the month of May. seem
to assure a continuation of the very
satisfactory business we have been

. He wanted to coll upon forensic
ballistics to point out tho machine
gunners In the "St. Valentine's day
masuacre.'! The county didn't have
the money. Bert Masses and Wal
ter E. Olson, wealthy manufactur
ers, members f the coroner's Jury,
did. They agreed to pay for the
Imllstlc test.
In brief? forensic halistlcs teach
es that all guns are1 different and
that all bullets fired froth them
bear Individualistic markings. The
markings are as distinctive and act
cuslng as fingerprints.
Bundesen had teBt bullets fired
from all pistols and machine guns
belonging to Chicago, Cicero and
Melrose Park police, and county
highway officers.- (Suspicion had
pointed to policemen as the slay
ers). Whenever a gangster was
seized, or any other known culprit
carrying a pistol was arrested, test
bullets were fired from the
weapons they carried.
These, wtlh bullets taken from
slain gangsters, were sent to the
New York bureau of ballistics.'
Maj. Calvin Goddurd of the bureau
said the examination eliminated
police guns as the death weapons.
Two gangsters faced trial April
20 for the "St. Valentine's day
massacre."
