altered.

The Automobile Club Of France has
definitely decided to use again this, year
the so-ealled Dieppe course for the 90
nual renewal Of the Grand Prix race,
but the alleged extortionate demands OF
the owner OF the land on which the
grandstand stood last year Will make
necessary certain very important
Changes IN the running OF the contest.
The organizers experienced opposition
TO the race being held on the old course
from only one village. a little place
called Ssuchay, between Dieppe ana

the authorities.

aside from the mere commissions they
have pulled In.
They 1gure out that they have handel
one over to the early autumn pessinist
who had dOped it out that the financial
depression would work all manner of
disaster to the motoring industry As
matter of fact, the sales Of the pres
ent season have been more prolific than
was predicted by the more optimistic
dealers, and heavier than during the
same period last winter. This statement
IS no attempt to boost the game. but a
plain recital Of facts that can be veri-
fed by reference 10 the records Of the
two years.
''One fact is generally overlooked -
said one dealer last week. when you
point out the increased business which
practically every garage is doing this
year as compared with last, you over
look a pertinent point, and one which
greatly strengthens the case. that there
is a greater number OF auto estab-
hshments in this city than there were
last winter. The fact that all OF these
are prospecting as never before is the
best evidence that the business has
passed the experimental stage and has
now TO be reckOned with as a strong
factor in the city's business resources.
