THE USE OF OIL WIDENED
An Important Development of Diesel Motors "
In the automotive feld. future Diesel operation of power-driven vehicles is commanding the at- tention of those who do the off. clal thinking and planning for motor vehicle manufacture. The scope of it for the present wil include trucks and other units of the commercial vehicle family. together with buses, motor con- ches and tractors.
The marine field; to which Die- sel has contributed a large men- sure of progress, also is included in this category. as are the streamlined trains now in process of demonstration by railway com- panies,
The trend is not confined to America. In Germany, according

approximately 10,000 Diesel-po-" wered vehicles in that country. some 4.500 of which are trucks. and it is predicted that, during the current year, passenger auto- mobilcs with Diesel engines will be produced successfully.
Possibilities of Diesel applica- tion to passenger cars on this side of the water may appear remote as yet according to engineers. here, but such eventual develop- ment is not altogether beyond the realms of probability... In this direction, "the Diesel principle gives promise of repeating various stages of progress through which it has advanced in both the mar ine and aircraft fields.
As the speeds of Diesel opera- tion have been built up, the weight per horsepower has been brought down. At Arst, Diesel en gines were biz, heavy and pon- derous. Their use was confined to stationary power plants and po- wer for ocean freighters.
Lighter and Faster Then came refinement toward lighter weight and higher speed in power plants for use in yachts and 'submarines. It Is this lighter weight with large power as now developed that makes the Diesel engine important in its possibilit- les for automotive purposes.
With high torque and moderate speeds as compared with gas en- gines, Diesels became a factor or economic value in highway work and began to challenge the gaso- line-driven types.
The fuel saving advantage, with the low cost of crude oil fraction- al as compared with that of gaso- line, is ever present in the minds of truck fleet operators, to whom fuel expense is a constant pro- blem. It may be that the oil pro- ducers will run up the price of fuel oil as the Diesels get into volume consumption of the crude product, but the economy will have a double application. This will apply to comparative quanti- ty. In simple terms, one mile of operation by gasoline, is the ap- proximate equivalent of one and one-quarter miles of fuel oil oper- ation:

Their trial on the Speedway will be a demonstration of what Diesel can show against gasoline-power- ed stock and "special" racers. rather than a definite challenge for first place,

London, July 6.
Mr. Anthony Eden, Lord Privy Seal, speaking at Stoke yesterday, declared that in his view there was no security which a British Gov ernment could offer that would enable a bisarmament Convention to be reached.
"must emphasise" be added, that this memorandum remains a scheme of disarmament and that I have in no respect changed the to the view which I expressed House of Commons as long ago attend as February last that, if a Dis- armament Convention is to be reached. It can only be reached on the basis of that memorandum."
After referring to the abortive efforts made to obtain agreement on the memorandum on his visits Mr. to Berlin, Rome, and Paris. Eden dealt with the view that agreement could be reached if BM- do more to sain would offer to meet "the anxieties of the heavy armed Powers."
The bride is to wear a Chinese gown of pink satin.
Very few Europeans will be privileged to witness the quaint ceremony, which involves none of the promises which feature in the British ceremony. The male guests will first assemble on one side of the large reception room and the women on the other,
A clearing will be made for the bride and bridegroom. A. witness, Mr. Quo Tal Chi, Minister to Lon- don, will stand behind them.
Then there is a matchmaker or introducer, who brings the par together. This part will be taken by Mr. Liu Chun-Chlen. Chinese Minister to Germany.
The bride and bridegroom face the witness, who, instead of the bridegroom, puts the ring on the bride's inger.

Local Chinese authorities have received an order prohibiting for- eigners and Chinese in Shanghai from entering certain areas in the Chapoo District, on the Shanghal- Hangchow Highway, where the re- sidents, including members of the Marist and Lazarist missions, were recently ordered by the Chekiang authorities to evacuate at three days notice on the ground that the areas were to be turned into a fortified area.

According to the measures an nounced, with the exception of the main tele- phone line, for the taking over of which the Ministry of Communica- tions has paid a sum of $48,000 to the Cheklang Provincial Govern- ment, all the long distance tele- phone services in Cheklang pro vince hitherto operated by the Ministry are now turned over to the Chekiang Provincial Government. The Long-distance Telephone Bureau established by the Ministry is simultaneously abolished.
As there are only two main lines linking Shanghai and Cheklang province. telephone calls from the various districts in the province to Shanghai will be connected through the Hangchow and Kashing Telephone Bureaux. For ordinary long-distance calls from or to Shanghai via the Kashing office, a ree of 60 cents will be charged. For calls via Hangchow a fee of $1.05 is charged. An extra 5 cents is col- lected for calls from the Interna- tional Settlement and French Concession in Shanghai; Paoshan. and Nanziang. Kto Min
