fDenand For Cheaper Cars Continue.
Undiminished.

BY Associated uAress.
Chicago Aug. 11.-Motor interests
take more hopeful view Of pros
poets than they did recently. and find
business Frightening somewhat.
Goodyear Tire reports business this
month again about normal, and ex-
poets improvement thru September.
Its earnings for the fiscal year end
ing Nov. 1 are estimated at 1922. O00.-
600, or $5S,000,000 In excess of last
years.
LaSalle street expects that, while
the strongest and best managed con-
Germs will hold their own or go fur
ther ahead in the next few months.
some weak ones will have to be car
ried or taken over. The recent de-
Cline in sales has been chiefly In
cars selling from $4,000 to $4,000.
Bankers estimate the decline in tire
manufacturing about 10 per cent, but
the Goodyear Akron plant has let few
men out. 1t runs an open shop.
Every department of motordom is
irregular. The leading speedometer
concern here reports no diminution
OF business except as caused by traf-
fc congestion. Demand >for cheaper
cars of the more successful makes
continues virtually undiminished, and
makers of the more popular automo-
biles can rot promise delivery within
six weeks. Bankers say, however,
that credit conditions demand cons1d-
erable, even tho temporary, retrench-
ment in the pleasure car industry.

Modern WaIlingford Relates How He
Made Millions From Nothing.
Boston, Aug. 11.-Charles Ponzi,
who claims to have jumped from
comparative poverty to a multimil-
lionaire's estate in q few months
thru dealings in international postal
coupons, told members of the XII
wants Club some of the steps in the
process by which he amassed his
fortune.
Ponzi reiterated his claim that he
was solvent and expressed confidence
that this would be substantiated by
the federal and state Investigations
now in progress and that he would
be able to resume business in few
days.
He related how he had hired q
small office, used his small capital
in various business schemes, and
then, with an international reply
coupon always in front of him, 'be-
gan to do some thinking" He finally
obtained financial assistance to de-
velop his idea and spent thousands
in foreign correspondence.
II found out" he said, "that the
postal coupons were being sold in
foreign countries for the equivalent
of cents and could be converted
into postage stamps. Then all had
to do was to figure how many nick
els make a million.
'I got in touch with men-that's as
far as I'll go-who were able to Sc
cure large amounts of coupons in
different countries. hey bought
them with our money and used them

when conditions were right I Of
Z ,red to borrow money from the pub
&c. L offered so per cent In ninety
lays and would not promise to re-
deem notes in forty-five, tho !
thought that three weeks was about
the right time to bank the money,
send 1t abroad, get the stamps and
convert them into cash.
Il started the Securities Exchange
Company. 1 was everything, from
president to office boy. Ninety per
cent of the people did not know about
the international reply coupons.
Then a postoffice inspector came.
| asked him if it was legal to buy
an international reply coupon abroad
and change it to stamps. He said
'yes.' I asked him If 1t was legal to
redeem millions of the coupons, and
he said no. He would have to de-
eide whether they were stolen or
where they CAME from.
However, I decided that II L re-
deemed the stamps in the United
States the federal government might
decide that In came within Its juris-
oiction, tho there was no federal or
state Jaw against it. But the exchange
rate was the same in Switzerland and
Norway and some other countries. So
I decided to redeem them there"
Some one asked why the postal
authorities had been unable to find
evidence of such large dealings In
coupons. Ponzi replied that foreign
governments realized q profit on the
issue Of postal certificates, and "are
not going to disclose to other govern
ments how many coupons they have
issued"
And the international Postal Un-
lon is not going >to do It," he added.
Asked If foreign governments had
not stopped this. he replied:
Yes, they are stopping-they have
stopped the sale Of coupons for pub
lie use. But that doesn't stop my
business. My money is in Europe
working today, even II it Is not here"
In the transactions in coupons, he
insisted, nobody suffers loss.
puy today, he said, "a dollars
forth of Italian exchange. At the
present rate get IS lire. I would get
under normal exchange. With the
Is lire buy sixty international reply
coupons. These coupons can be sold
for So in American money"
| He maintained that no govrnment
need lose, because transactions be-
tween governments may be delayed
until exchange is normal, and pointed
out that there has been delay in the
payment OF interest on American
loans to the allies.
II haven't found anybody who will
have to make it good" he asserted.

would have to stand the loss.

IOWA CORN CROP
NEEDS RAIN NOW
Is Beginning to Curl and Fire On
Uplands and Thin SoiIs-if Tenn
perature Remains Normal Pros
poets Still Are Good-Local Rains
Wore insufficient.

By Associated Press.
Des Moines, Aug. 11.-Corn has
fired and curled badly on uplands
and thin soils In many portions of
the state in the week ended Aug. 10,
the weekly crop bulletin, issued by
the United States weather bureau to-
day, says most of the crop, how
ever has not yet suffered beyond re-
covery. Unless temperatures are
above normal somewhat during the
next month there are prospects OF
some soft corn, the bulletin asserts.
What rains there were in the week
were local and mostly insufficient.
Coal shortage caused some inter-
ference with threshing and resulted
In more stocking than was intended.
Car shortage had retarded shipments
and elevators are filled.
Fall plowing has started where
moisture is sufficient. There is less
complaint Of shortage of farm labor
than for several years. Unsettled
conditions of finance and transpor-
tation are causing cattle feeders to
hesitate in embarking upon their
usual programs.
Sugar beets in the north, north
central counties have had sufficient
moisture, but the fields are reported
weedy and prospects are not of the
best.

Way to South America.

New York. Aug. ia report that
Eugene Leroy also known as Fern
andeZ, sought by Detroit and New
fork police in connection with the
death of Katherine Lou jackson.
W--ose mutilated body was found in
trunk here last month, has shipped
for South America with the crew of
the steamer Dryden started govern
ment wireless stations working in
an attempt to head off the suspect
before he lands lat Rio de Janeiro.
The trail of the murder suspect led
TO the Dryden today when Harry
Marflett former member of the
ships crew, identified a photograph
OF Leroy as that of the man who had
taken his place when he transferred
to another vessel. The Dryden, with
the man believed to be Leroy, or
Fernandez. sailed from Hoboken
Aug. 8.
The report that Leroy had taken
passage for South America was
strengthened by letter which Po-
lice Chief MeSeely Of Hoboken, N.
j., received from a friend who was
passenger on the Dryden.
The writer, who disembarked at
Havana, declared he was certain the
suspect was the man wanted in con-
nection with the trunk mystery.

Leon Trotzky, minister of war, in ad-

Continued requisition of grain and
live stock in return for alleged
worthless paper money instead of
supplies. is said to have made the
AGRICULTURAL population the greatest
potential enemy of bolshevism. OBJ
servers say that if this condition is
not remedied it promises to cause the
ultimate downfall of the regime.

Greater success seems to have at

bolsheviki's far eastern buffer state,
a traveller can ride into Moscow or
Petrogad in ten days. travelling from
Omsk on Russian Pullmans if he is
on business or is especially privileg-

The cost Of the trip is 1900 rubles.
The sum is less than one American
dollar, but also is less than the
amount needed at the shores of the
trans s-Stberian stations to buy a
pound OF meat or salt from the peas

rubles is intended to convey an idea
OF the chaotic condition of foreign
exchange between the United States
