RECORDS BROKEN
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
More Made, of Greater Value and
More Exported Than in Any
Previous Year.

Alfred Reeves, general manager ot tn
National Automobile Chamber OF Com
.rnerce, In discussing the development OF
the industry during the past twelve
months said:
Notwithstanding the small production
during the first three months OF 1919,
following the arrnistice, when the IN
.Iustrv was on practically a 100 per cent
war basis, motor car manufacturers
made such gigantic strides during the
other nine months that the year pro-
,iuction of 1891 ,929 motor VehicleS
exceeds all previous records including 1911
when l,S6S,o00 cars and trucks were
,,roduced. The wholesale value bought

THE SsN York Evening WORLDLY
URlNG the week / was a guest
l. Of the Woman's Club OF
Pittsburgh. 1t was the forty
titth anniversary Of this organlza-
ton, which is next to the Oldest OF it's
kind In the world.
1 came home with considerable food
for thought.
The best paper OF the day was read
by a woman eighty years old. or
eighty years young. | should say, and
the member OF eighteen who sat op-
posito to mo listened to that paper
with the same absorbing interest
that she would devote to tho recital
OF story by one OF her chums.
On my right sat a founder Of the
club. Her cxtemporaneous remarks
were of such vibrant character as 20
make one realize that she Is alive with
life. She explained It something ike
this, this woman who helped organiza
tho first woHians club Of Pennsylya-
MIA:
You know, a dog only barks at a
van that Is moving. 1t never barks It
anything standing still. Personally, [
refuse TO do it--stand stl. n / keep
moving they will notice me, II not,
they Will forget me-"
She then went on 10 tell about Mr.
now endeavOr, her latest achievement,
and she has many.
She has got togctlRr all tho scrub
women OF he city and OF her ntg1V
women, and secured q nice big hOu5s

"and ! am very proud Of IT,"

is her theory. And don't think any %

morning matinees in tins and other
cities.
Evening World readers all know
about Americas youngest novelist,
eleven year old Horace AtkIsson
Wade, author of In the Shadow OF
Great Peril" and Of "A series Of anus
ing articles on features OF New York
life published in this paper last
summer. Horace wrote his 10000
word novel in three weeks and is the
author of several other books.
A true New York prodigy Is ten
year-old Mildred Wellerson. fin
lshed performer on the cello, whose
reCitals at Carnegie Hall and Aeoltan
Hall have delighted large audiences
and won her the encomiums of pro-
fesslonal critics and OF such fellow
artists as the great Ysaye. She was
born in Harlem and has been brought
up in this city. She has played the
cello since she was three and a half
years old, asking at that time for the
instrument as Christmas present.
The latest child champion TO appear
in the news rs young Samuel RE
shewsk, nine years old, the chess
wonder Of Europe. Tue infant sam
ucl. who is a Polish boy, has just
arrived in America. and Is practising
here his tavurite pursuit OF playing
chess with some twenty or more Of
the strongest players simultaneously
aud beating them with expedition
lie is absolutely normal in every
other respect. The other night he
won against nineteen of the best chess
payers West Point could produce.
Some Of the most beautiful work
performed by any talented child Is
that of nine year-old Hilda Conkllng
whose book, Poems by a Little Giri'
was published only last spring. She
is the daughter Of woman who has
written exquisite verse-Grace Haz-
tard Conkllng. a member OF the facul-
Wy Of Smith College. Little Htlda,
ever since she was four, has talked"
her poems TO her mother, who sets
them down on paper without any al
teratiOn. They are, for the most part
unrhymed but charmingly rhythmic
and imaginative expressions OF tho
child's love for nature and for her
mother. Here Is one bit:
