“CHINESE CRISIS

= WITH ANXIETY Jnvasion of Suiyuan Province

= May Bring Showdown, Simms Reports.

_ BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS ne Times Foreign Editor ~ WASHINGTON, Nov. 13—Ameri€an, British and Russian officials are known to be watching with growing apprehension, the “war” which has just broken out in SuiJuan province, China.

They admit that while an anxious world is still watching Spain's

fandango of death, fearful lest it|’

start a European war, the Far Eastern outbreak may bring a Sino-Japanese showdown. « Chinese charge that the Manand Mongolian troops now pouring into Suiyuan province— which commands Peiping and North China from the direction of Kalgan, traditional route of the Mongolian invaders—are equipped and directed by Japanese.

Howard’s Cable Recalled

Not only are they well supplied with airplanes, tanks and other modern weapons, according to reports reaching Washington, but hundreds of Japanese army trucks are said to be lumbering toward the front with additional supplies.

Last Monday, Roy W. Howard cabled the Scripps-Howard News‘papers from the Orient that Chiang Kai-Shek, strong man of China, at last had unified his country and its 450 million people and made known his determination not to retreat another inch. ’ Mr. Howard also said the Chinese generalissimo expected to make his stand in Suiyuan, adding that high officials admitted heavy troop concentrations in that area.

Japanese Demands Listed

The present crisis had its origin more than two months ago. At that time Tokyo handed Nanking a set of demands which would have made China virtually a Japanese protectorate. The principal points were: 1. The right of Japan to “co-oper-ate” with the Chinese for the sup-

pression of Communism. \ 2. Recognition of a “special area” in North China witherin native officials would look to Tokyo, rather than' Nanking. 3. Acceptance by Nanking of Japanese advisers in civilian and military departments. 4. Revision of Chinese textbooks to eliminate whatever the Japanese found objectionable, with . Nanking holding itself responsible for any anti-Japanese activities throughout the country.

Chiang in Tight Spot

In the first year of the World ‘War, Japan delivered a similar set of proposals to China—the “21 demands.” The international storm which followed caused Japan to back water. London, Washington and other foreign governments are understood to have expressed opposition to the more recent demands, and Chinese resentment flamed from the Great Wall to Canton. Japan, therefore, is now reported to be insisting only on the first two points.

Regardless of price, the turkey crop this year is something to talk about. Miss Marjorie Brulow, 2016 E. Washington-st, made an inspection trip yester-

and holding one

day to Len Trotter's turkey farm near Camby, Ind. Here she’s shown, surrounded by Thanksgiving fowls:

GIRL TELLS WILD TALE TO AVOID SPANKING

By United Press OGDEN, Utah, Nov. 13.—Preckledfaced Della Dehaven, 11, went back to school today not at all sure she had escaped the spanking she feared when she concocted a wild story of a man showing her a woman’s head. She had played along: the way home from school and she was afraid she would get a spanking for her tardiness, she told sympathetic policemen who patted her cheek and gave her a quarter after she had stuck meticulously to her tale of horror through nine tellings at police headquarters. So, she thought up the frightening story that would detract her parents’ attention. * She ran home, dropped a blood-stained paper in her mother’s lapjand hysterically related how it had dropped from a woman’s head whith a man exhibited in trying to get-Della into his car.

They wrecked on a legal stone wall and nothing much happened in the field for some time.

Frenchman Invents Car

‘ “The first internal’ combustion motor. was invented in 1885 by Gotlib Dainler. M. Levasser, in France, recognized the advantages of the invention over steam, and France began manufacturing them. ’ The first company to be organized in this country was the Detroit Automobile Co. in 1899. This company entered into an agreement with Henry Ford te advance $10,000 which was to pay for the building of 10 cars. Something

| didn’t jell, and no cars were built.

In 1901, a second Ford company was organized, but was dissolved within a year because of wranglings between Mr. Ford and stockholders. In 1903 the Ford Motor Co. as we know: it today was organized with an authorized capital of $150,000. Only $28,000 of this was paid in. - John W. Anderson subscribed 5000 in cash. . Another ambitious party sold five acres of land that belonged to the City of Detroit and subscribed $5000, Dodge Brothers paid for their stock in machine work. . James Couzens, who died recently ‘leaving upward of $30,000,000, founded his fortune when he took his own $900 savings and borrowed $100 from his sister and took $1000 worth of stock. ’

Ford Dréw $3000 Year

' The largest subscription was John 8. Gray, banker, who put in $10,500. Ford’s yearly salary was set at $3000 and Mr, Couzen’s at $2500. + In that same general period, William C. Durant, who was one of the first to envision the possibilities of the business, incurred the wrath of

Lemanes, France, for 39 minutes and broke distance records by flying 26 miles. And on that day the City of New York suffered a judicial setback when Justice Davis ruled against it in a case against a motorist who had been arrested in Central Park on account of driving with skid chains.

“+ Tried .to Buy Ford Plant “In 1909, Durant tried to buy the Ford Motor Co. for $8,000,000 and failed when bankers refused to lend him the money, claiming that the business wasn’t worth that much and never would be. In 1907 John N. Willys had contracted to sell all the cars that the Overland Co., Indianapolis, could produce in the year, about 500. To seal the bargain he made a deposit of $10,000 which wasn’t his, but which belonged to prospective owners who had made down payments of it. The Knickerbocker Trust Co. failed before he could get home from Indianapolis after signing the deal, and the panic of 1907 began. On Thanksgiving Day, Willys returned to Indianapolis to investigate word

found the company had gone into the hands of receivers and had paid off the employes in rubber checks. He was told the company needed $350 to make good the checks. He said he would get it and talked the managemn of the Grand Hotel into giving him the money on. a personal check; in panic times, which gives you a general idea of his. sales powers. He operated; the plant. Following year it. manufactured and sold 465 cars, paid off the indebtedness, and made a net profit of $58,000. : And so, out of such helter skelter, the auto industry grew until it is the greatest stablized business of today, whose factories run during a depression and whose déalers make profits on relatively huge <apital
