He contended that no Vie operated a gasoline vehicle as early as he did, April 19. 1802, or made automobile sales as early as 1896 He won the first automobile race on Thanksgiving day. 1895 He drove the first car to be mounted on pneumatic tires. He was entitled, surely. to whatever satisfaction he could get out of knowing that he was a pioneer in the development of 1 an :ndustry which has revolutionized our habits of living and working, comments the New York Herald Tribune. Duryea, who died in Philadelphia at the age of 77. never became rich. His talents, it appears, were those of theJ1nventor. not of the business executive or financial genius. And yet, if the man who was supposed to have backed him at the beginning had not failed him at a crucial time, Duryea might easily have ended his days not only as the possessor of one of the great fortunes of the world but as 4 man who was generally regarded as a sage--the fate of so many rich men. As it was, in his last years, he lived in comparative obscurity, embracing many rather odd notions for the betterment of mankind, writing letters to the newspapers, and holding firm to his contention,, that he was the real father of the' automotive industry. He gambled with a great idea; it was mere luck, for the most part, that he lost.

And. although situated ir a marshy plain and notoriously unhealthy--it was called 'scabiosa" by the sailors--Alexandretta, with the only safe harbor on the coast of Syria, continued as an outlet for a large part of the overland trade from Persia and India down to the opening of the Sue? canal. The Sandjak (or District) of Alexandretta--called Hatay by the Turks-Includes some 10.000 square miles, adjacent to Turkey, and the ancient Biblical city of Antioch. old Roman capital of the Orient, near its southern boundary. Its population consists of Turks, Armenians, Greeks, Kurjls and Circassians. - The district was taken from Turkey at the end of the World war and included in the French Syrian mandate but due to its mixed population was granted a limited autonomy in 1925. Turkey, however, had ! never relinquished the thought that j Alexandretta, with its fine harbor I and large Turkish population, was a • logiral outpost of the republic and consequently, when France agreed, to Syria's ultimate independence, the Ankara authorities demanded | Alexandretta be made into a sep- I arate state to prevent its being lost to them permanently.
