SANDOZ SIGNS FIRST
ON THE DOTTED Line
ST. LANDRY DELEGATE, LEAVING
FOR EUROPE, ATTACHES SlNGA-
TuRE TO CONSTITUTION

Hon. William j. Sandoz, one of 81.
Landry's three delegates in the con-
stitutional convention, was the frs,
member Of that body Of one hundred
and forty-six delegates to affix his
signature to the new organic law, as
stipulated in the formal plan draftink
the instrument.
MT. Sandoz and his wife and several
relatives are due to leave within the
next few days on an extended Euro
pean trip and as he had made all ar
rangements to depart on June IS is be
came necessary to ring down the cur
tain on his activity as member Of the
convention. SO while the work was
not quite complete last Friday ne at
tached his signature, and was quickly
followed by Judge Robert R. Reid,
delegate from Tangiphaoa, who was
cmpeHed to return home at Amite in
order to take part as one of the pros
ecutors of a bunch of Italians indicted
for murder
Mr.. and Mrs. Sandoz are going to
several intereting points in Europe
places where some of his paternal
ancestors came from and before re-
turning home he expects to visit Bel
GUM, France, Germany, Switzerland
and perhaps other points Of interest
AS related in a news story in one Of
the New Orleans papers some time
ago and republished in these columns,
Mr.. Sandoz represents the third gene
ration of the family contemplating or
actually taking the plunge into the
old world beyond the seas. His grand
father, ]. H. Sandoz, was preparing
for the trip when the civil war came
on and put an end to his dream Then
his son, L. Adolphus Sandoz, father
of the delegate, after dreaming of it
and planning for it for a generation or
more, departed in the early summer
of 1914, landing at North German
port just as the kaiser loosed the dogs
of war on an unsuspecting and I'M
prepared Europe Mr. Sandoz was al
most caught in the malestorm and
after being marooned for weeks, fin
ally reached home without ever be
lg able to see much. He died in Sept .
TENDER. 1915. The present Sandoz
hopes for better luck, and all 0pelou- /
as wish him and his wife success.

BUSINESS PICKING UP
SAYS AUTO MAKERS

Excellent volume of sales to dealers
increases in gaoline consumption in the
United States over March 1920, and a
big reduction in manufacturers
stocks in the last six months, indicate
to tire manufacturers that business
is showing a healthy and steady in
creae.
Gasoline consumption IS a good in
dex of the number of cars in operation,
and. also of tire consumption.S Stats
tics Show that S5 per cent more gas
oline was consumed in this country
in March than in the same month
last year.
Sale to tire dealers by one big fso
tory during the last week in NJ
were 10 per cent greater than If -
largest previous week of 1927
greater than the correspond "a
last year.
Another encouraging and sign
cant fact is that a recent survey shows
that manufacturers have reduced tire
Inventories more than ga per cent
since November, which was the low
level in tire sales and probably the
month of largest inventories of fin
ished product. 1t is estimated that il
November manufacturers had approx
even months stock on hand
but in April these tire inventories had
been reduced to approximately two
and half months supply, which is
not in excess Of normal in some of
the more widely used sizes. Thus
