 this increase. and moro manufac- turors arc expected to follow.
 Tho cause of this reaction. 1t is generally agreed. Is the looscning of credit during tho period Of crop movement. The drop which bcnc- htcd so many new motor owners recently Is attributed to the action of the Federal Reserve board in re- rtrictinE credits to bring about q gradual currency defiation. Plans for expansion of automobile factories it was realized. n break would have fo come. Tho action of tho board nvcrted this break and elimin- Rted the speculative clements tn the automobile industry
 At the same time. however. an ef- fcct Of tho prico decline. until re- ccntiy only talked about. is now be- ginning to be felt in tho automobile industry. That is the inevitable struggle for the survival ot the Attest.

opals GROWING on Trsss.

opals grown on trees is one Of the
latest discoveries OF science. Such
"stOnes" are now on exhibition In the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York. These ''opals'' were grown
in HUMBOLDT county. Nevada, several
thousand years ago, by the slow
processes Of nature. They were form
ed from trees which were evidently
uprooted and buried in a swamp during
some earthquake. The trees, many
feet under water. became water-logged
snags. and then became petrified. The
swamp water had become heavily
charged with solution OF silica
which acted upon and changed the ma
ture OF the wood. while preserving Its
structure. In course OF time the wood
became opal" and can scarcely be
distinguished from the genuine article.
