the various railways handling the ship
ment and the schedule was only nine
hours slower than fast passenger train
schedules.
Because, of- the quick rip, the train
WTivad, here before special delivery
packages containing bills- of lading,
which were mailed the day the tram
departed from Flint.
No time was lost after arival in be
ginning the task of unloading the train
and when completed Lee A. Folger,
vice-president, said slightly less than
one minute was required, on the aver-
age to unload each automobile. The
loading: at the Buick factory required
three hours. 45 minutes.. The value of
the automobiles in this shipment was
approximately $300,000.
These Buicks are the 1922 model, and
Ho Fo,Ser sald they were the first
19-2 models of any make of motor car
to be received in Charlotte. This ship
ment, however, is insufficient to fill
all the orders for Buicks now booked
by Coddington, and the train will leave
Charlotte early Saturday morning on
the return trip to Flint for another
capacity Shipment.
"The fact that we own our own rail
way equipment will make it unneces
sary nerearter to drive Buicks from
the Flint factory," said Mr. Folger.
'We sold 2,000 motor cars last year,
despite the difficulties of securing rail
way equipment to transport them to
this territory, and we expect to sell a
greater number this year. That means
our need of freight equipment will be
greater, so we expect to keep our train
moving most of the time. Orders for
tnese cars were placed almost a year
ago, and about a month ago they
were delivered.
"By "Wednesday night we expect to
have every one of the Buicks in this
shipment out of our warehouse and in
the hands of our dealers."

CALLES OPTIMISTIC
OVER THE SITUATION
Mexico City, June 2 ). P. Ell'us
Calles, Secretary of the Interior, nho
returned yesterday from an extensive
I trip throughout the Republic, expreraed
i optimism over the situation which has
arisen between the United States f.nd
Mexico relative to recognition teing
extended the Obregon government.
"I am absolutely sure," said the
secretary, "that President Obregon will
be able to resolve the sO-called conflict
with the United States without dispar
agement of himself or the -nation.
He added he did not consider the
situation grave, and said the entire
cabinet was in absolute agreement with
the policy outlined by President Obre
gon. Charges that he is sympathetic with
the bolsheviki have been made against
Secretary Calles, but he dismissed these
allegations as inconsequential, ex
plaining, however, that he .was "a
friend of the proletariat and will de
fend it, but always within the law."
The entire nation has been pacified,
the secretary asserted, and is return
ing to the paths of peace. He said he
would make a detailed report of his
trtp at today's cabinet meeting, it
which international affairs may be
discussed.

LISBON
Picture City of Portugal.
"Washington, June 10. Lisbon, which
newspaper dispatches report in civil
upheaval has an appeal for the seeker
of quaint and individual places, ac
cording to a bulletin from the Wash
ington, D. C, headquarters of the Na
tional Geographic Society. The bul
letin says:
"This port of Portugal, which has
very aptly been called the kernel of the
country, saw the commercial pride of
the Phoenicians and heard the fervent
prayers of Vasco da Garna before he
set out on his perilous voyage in search
of India, the land which had lured
navigators for centuries.
'Lisbon's ancient name was Ulisipo
which caused many Greek scholars to
try to connect it with the wanderings
of Ulysses, but the name probably orig
inated from two Phoenician words
meaning Pleasant Bay, which is made
doubtly plausible because the mouth
of the Tagus just beyond the city wid
ens into one of the best harbors in
the whole of Europe.
A MOSAIC OF CONQUESTS
"The Romans knew Lisbon as Feli
citas Julia, and it grew to be the sec
ond city of Lusitanla, that famous dis
trict of Hispania in the time of the
Caesars. Its temple and theatre ruins
attest its occupation. Successively it
has been seized by the Alans, the Visi
goths, the Moors, and the Crusaders
The fact that the inhabitants of Lisbon
were tolerant of the dark Moorish in
vaders is" evidenced in the coloring
of the crowds in the Lisbon streets to
day. The kindly influence of the Eng
lish Crusaders who mingled with the
Portuguese masses left its mark too,
and has shown itself in the friendly
relations that have practically ever
since, existed between the two na
tions.
"Men of letters have sought out the
citv for its individuality and beauty,
which caused the ecstatic Byron upon
first beholding from the bay its terrac
ed seven hills to exclaim.
'What beauties doth Lisboa first unfold!
Her image floating on that noble tide
Which poets vainly pave with sands
of gold.'
any city could be proud. It is the
monastery of San Jeronymo which, in
the beauty of its marbles, porphyry,
jesper, jade, lapis lasuli, its mosaics,
and its inlays, is said to be unexcell
ed except by the Sistine Chapel in
Rome. On the site there originally
stood a hospice and chapel built by
Henry the Navigator for sailors. Here
on the n'ght of July 6, 1497, Vasco da
Gama retired to pray earnestly for the
success of the voyage on, which he
would embark the next day. Here, too.
the King made a vow that if he were
successful a noble temple should be
built, and when the famous adventur
er returned the first stone of the pres
ent building was laid."

GENEROUS WITH BLOOD.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 10. An appeal
for volunteers for a blood transfusion
was answered by 372 out of 500 mem
bers of the Cleveland fire department
on duty yesterday. Three of the fire
men's blood was found suitable, coins
were matched to see who would be
accepted and Charles D. Trinkner won.
FRECKLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots.
There's no longer the slightest need
of feeling ashamed of your freckles,
as Othine double strength is guar
anteed to remove these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of Othine
double strength from any druggist
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see that
even the worst freckles have begun to
disappear, while the lighter ones have
vanished entirely. It is seldom that
more than an ounce is needed to com
pletely clear the skin and gain a
beautiful clear complexion.
Be sure to ask for ' the double
strength Othine as this is Bold under
guarantee of money hack if it fails to
remove freckles.
"Commercially the city has natural
advantages in its harbor, which can
accommodate the largest vessel, and
nn advantageous position on the Atlan
tic. At present its trade is confined
chiefly to exporting cork, wine, olive
oil and tropical fruits to and import-
ins- coal. wood, corn, rice and manu-i
factured articles from England, Brazil
and its own African colonies.
A MEDLEY SCENE
"Alone- the Tagus vegetables, fruits
and flowers are piled in high heaps to
tempt the eager marketers, boats of
every description from the dingy fish
ing smacks to the ladylike Atlantic
liner are loading and unloading their
cargoes, and. the fish peddlers who are
to be seen everywhere' in the Lisbon
streets are raucously bargaining for
their stock in trade with the fishermen
along the wharves.
"Then house above house 4n ever-ascending
terraces the city proper rises
above the water front, its white build
ings gleaming in the sunlight. In the
hills near the city there . is a lime
stone as white and soft as chalk which
becomes hard upon exposure and this
has largely been used as building ma
terial. Many of the building are fac
ed with colored tiles, and others are
washed pink or blue, but there is a soft
ness in the general impression never
theless which is very pleasing. The
old tiled roofs which are warped and
curving, with their grassgrown fur
rows are delightful.
"The houses and streets in the great
er part of the city present a spick and
span appearance, but some of the old
er portions of the city are not only
rustic, but are dirty. ' Morning and
evening the milkman drives his cows
through the streets and satisfies the
housewife's mind that his wares are
fresh by milking her pail full while
she waits. One ardent civic improve
ment enthusiast as late as 1835 put up
a plea that the inhabitants be. forbid
den to break their horses, to kill or
singe their pigs in the streets or to
tie them -to their doorknobs, as such
things rather annoyed the inhabitants.
