Ono rod, a straight bar, controls

WASH INGTON (P) Character
izing mechanical and cultural con
trol methods as "thus far not
wholly effective," the department
of agriculture has imported afi ad
ditional four large shipments, of
parasites to fight the Japanese
beetle.
Since the pest first entered the
United Slates in soil surrounding
the roots ot Jupanese nursery stock
shipped lu ltlverWn, K. J.. the
government has tried to control it
by trapping and quarantine. Wasps
that uro parasites ot the beetle in
its native land have been liberated,
but with little more success than
other control measures.
However, parasltlzatlon Is prom
ising and the government believes
ihnt necessity for attempt at con
trol by the biological method is
evident.
It has been observed that para
sites of the gypsy moth are par
ticularly successful In seasons gen--iiv

again have diminished Its numbers.
There Is cvldenco that the

has so Increased and Bpread that
entomologists expect H eventually
to damago farm crops In all parts
of tho United States.
Already It Is ft' major pest wher
ever It, occurs in eastern regions.
In nn orchard of 106 ten-year old
peach trees, 13 ID-gallon tubs of
beetles were shaken from tho trees
and collected in somewhat less
than two ' hours. Tho next , morn
ing tho beetles apparently were as
numerous us before. Thoy make
lace-work of follago, attack fruit,

Natives gathered tho parasitized J

The parasites aro not expected
to eradicate the beetle; only to
keep It In check as they do In
Japan. ' There its damago Is neg

Thus far the centerer clnerea,
which resembles a fly, has been

People, Not Cars, Give Prestige
DC IUXE court
NO automobile can endow its
owner with prestige. But people
can give an automobile prestige.
The rapidly growing public ac
ceptance for the Auburn car ele
vates it to a position of unquest
ioned eminence today. In fact so
gret is the public's confidence in
Auburn's value and so great its
preference for Auburn's exclusive
distinction, that we are again war
ranted in enlarging our plant facil
ities and in making plans for even
larger Auburn production immed
iately. This growth is not accidental.
There must be a definite reason for
it. And that reason is the prestige
that Auburn owners are giving to
the Auburn car.
We have always tried to avoid the
superlative; tried not to boast. But
we have made claims; strong,
sweeping, unqualified claims. In
variably however we have attach
ed a rider to our claims. For
example, today we claim the Au
burn cars give greater value,
longer wheelbase, stronger frames,
more power, easier handling, finer
performance, greater safety, com
fort and endurance THAN ANY
OTHER CAR FOR THE MONEY.
What is the rider? Simply this:
You are invited to compare and
The following records of Auburn's remarkablo
strides in winning public approval arc given because
Auburn owners are entitled to this information. It
again vindicates their own judgment:
Auburn's percentage of sales vol
ume increase is the greatest in the
industry.
100 increase the first five
months of this year compared to
last.
84.3 increase in June this year
over June last year. '
103 increase in July this year
over July last year.
95.6 increase in August this year
over August last year.
arid September this year was the
greatest September in all Auburn
history. -
Passenger car sales volume increase of 58.5 for 12
months;. June 30, 1928 to June 30, 1929 greatest for ny
company having the same continuous management for
three years or more, exclusive of Ford.

drive the Auburn, to verify our
claims and if the car does not prove
them true, and sell itself, you will
not be asked to buy.
Auburn's prestige with the public
is built upon that solid policy. Our
attitude has inspired confidence in
tens of thousands of experienced
motorists. After thorough examin
ation and testing they have become
Auburn owners. Their good will,
in turn, constantly widens the
circle of Auburn popularity.
Additional thousands are learning
that Auburn DOES give more for
the money; Auburn DOES give
Straight Eights for less than many
Sixes; Auburn DOES render
greater satisfaction .over a longer
period; Auburn IS a more profit
able investment.
It is obvious therefore why Auburn
sales have steadily increased
throughout this entire year C&s
they did last year and the year
before). ' ,
