Staff HALF YEAR PERIOD ifcfci m ., JV., www . n , ,r , rf r -v --1 it I While registrations for the auto motive Industry as a whole show an Increase of 7.74 percent for the first alx months of the current year as compared with the same period of 1030, N ash-La Payette registrations In dicate the very gratifying increase of 63.80 percent for thla period. Thla remarkable showing has been brought about by the publtc'a enthusiastic acceptance of the many exclusive features found In the 1937 line of Nash and La Payette cars, according to Walter W. Abbey, manager of Walter W. Abbey, Inc., Nash-LaPay-tte dealers for the Med ford area. "Report of retail deliveries by dealers In this territory for July show an equally substantial percentage of Increase." said Abbey, "and the re sults obtained from the 'Grand NASH'nal Sweepstakes' now In pro cress should enable us to wind up the current year with even better business. This national sales contest Is being received with a great deal of enthusiasm by the dealers, and many new sales records are antici pated by Individual salesmen. "Of particular Interest to sports men and vacationists has been the bed-conversion feature of the Nash and La Payette sedans," stated Abbey. "This provides a full size double bed Inside the car and Is gaining great popularity among people who enjoy camping and do not care to be both ered with a tent or trailer." FACTS Concerning Hardie SPRAYERS . in these days of high pressure spraying only the strongest pump gives lasting service. Among the most vitally Important factors In a spray pump are the strength of the pump frame and base and the size and quality of the crankshaft and bear ings, Length of life, dependability and low operating cost depend squarely upon strength of pump and size of parts. The pump must be of proper weight to provide a sturdy, rigid frame. The frame and base act as the foundation of the pump, supporting all operating parts. They must be of ample size and strength to withstand the ter rific shocks and strains to which a heavy duty spray pump constantly Is subjected. The Hardie frame is constructed from semi- steel and, where wear oc curs, from the finest alloy steels, The Bardie pump carries both regulator and air chamber on the pump base. This results In a well balanced, very compact, accessible assembly and pro Tides a pump that Is admirably adapt ed for stationary Installations and for pump replacement on any make or type of sprayer. Hardie bearings are amply large and easily replacable. The shock loads of spray pump operation are dis tributed and absorbed far better In the Hardie bearing than when con centrated at one point, as Is the case Where ball or roller bearings are used. The broad Hardie bearings do not cause pinch strains as narrow bear ings often do, Hnrdle bearings are die cast perfectly formed on special diesand properly Inserted Into the pump.Thoy can bo easily adjusted by the user without any special tools They are readily accessible and can be economically and quickly replaced when necessary. In the consideration of spray pump bearings remember this; Bearings alone do not determine whether a pump Is an easy running one or not. Every moving part Is In volved. The lubrication of Hardie bearings ts selective, fully automatic, amply adequate at all times, and brings only clean, fresh oil to the bearing. Each bearing Is individually lubrica ted from a largo Individual reservoir supplying the proper quantity and type of oil for that bearing. Hawaiian Shooters Win R.O.T.C. Honor WASHINGTON.

"By moving the rear seat cushion forward, lifting the back of the rear seat and placing the front seat cush ion Just behind the moved cushion of the rear seat and spreading the mattress over all, the bed Is ready for you In these modern cars.

D.. Sept. 1. (AP) Senator Key Plttman of Nevada, chairman of the senate foreign rela tions committee, said here today he believed a war in which most of Europe and Asia would be Involved was a possible development of the 'Tindeclared war between China and Japan. Senator and Mrs. Plttman stopped here to visit Sculptor and Mrs. Gut zon Borglum. The Nevada Democrat, for many years a student of Oriental prob lems, said he foresaw three possible developments In the Slno-Japanese conflict. One possibility, he said, was that China might capitulate to Japan's demands: a second that the Chinese might continue resistance and per haps be eventually excluded from their seaport cities "with a condi tion of warfare existing for many years, attended by attacks on the seaport towns held by the Japanese." "The third possibility." Senator Plttman said, "is that some unfor tunate and unlooked for Incident may throw Europe and Asia Into war. In which case the Chinese-Japanese problem would be absorbed In great er problems.' mechanic; Ott Howard, mechanic; Dwatn DeLap, mechanic helper; John M.

Geog raphy Is In the making out In San Francisco bay. A man-made Island a mile long and nearly a mile wide Is rising from the shoals between Oakland and San Francisco to be come the site for the Golden Gate world's fair of 1939. "Located In the shadow of the San FraucUco -Oak land bay bridge, and Just a few whltecaps from the tow ering Golden Gate bridge, the expo sltlon Island represents another Im portant engineering achievement In a region famous for doing things In a big way," says a bulletin from headquarters of the National Geo graphic society here. "The new Island project is com parable, in some respects, to such outstanding 'human miracles' as Davis Island, Tampa, Fla.; Governor's Is land extension. New York harbor; the Portland, Ore., airport; lower Potomac park, Washington. D. C. and the dikes built to close in the Zui derzee In The Netherlands. Biff Dredging Job Treasure Island.' as the exposU tlon site has been named, was liter ally sucked from the shoals of San Francisco bay. Reclamation work on the site began In February, 1936. when United States army engineers. In cooperation with exposition work ers, started the big dredging Job. Eleven giant dredges, 1,000 men, and a dally 34-hour acbedule were em ployed for a year and five months to dig 35.000,000 cubic yards of sand from the floor of the bay and pump It Into a huge square, rimmed by a stone seawall more than three miles long. "The Island rests on a shallow area formerly from six to 35 feet under water. The finished site will rise 13 feet above the surface. During the construction Job. approximately I 100.000 cubic yards of black bay sand CONGRATULATIONS TO WALTER W. ABBEY, INC.

Back row, left to right standing: were pumped Into the seawall en closure each day. "Today It stands ninety percent completed, and engineers predict that the final surfacing will be finished this month. After this, the 400-acre site will be given a bath. Bay sand must be 'unsalted' before trees, shrubs and flowering plants can be successfully transplanted. This will be done by a process called 'leaching,' which cons leu of keeping the ground continually soaked and drained with fresh water until the last bit of salt has washed back Into the bay. "At the conclusion of the world's fair In 1939, the island will be trans formed Into a municipal airport to serve the San Francisco -Oakland area. The site will be cleared of all struc tures except a permanent adminis tration building and two hangars, 200 by 300 feet each, which will serve as exhibit buildings during the fair. "The island Is connected with the San Francisco-Oakland bridge by a 110-foot causeway capable of accom modating 3,000 vehicles an hour. On the Island will be parking space for 13,000 automobiles, water supply will be provided by pipeline from thu San Francisco system to a 4,000,000 gallon reservoir on Yerba Buena Is land, adjacent to the exposition site "Already the big land patch has affected tides and currents In the bay, according to United States army engineers and experts of the United States coast and geodetic survey, who have been taking dally measurements of tides and currents for the last month. Whether the altered flow will affect ship channels by sand and silt deposits has not yet been determined.
