Just as there never has been a poor
spring for the motors, so there has
never been a period of damned-up de-
mand which was not followed by
steady flow of business. There is now
the last six-months' accumulated de-
mand for automobiles, and this, it is
believed in conservative quarters, in

orders are satisfied.
The Hudson company, like many
other large producers, is following the

twice as many cars as were actually
shipped. April production will be

AUTO INDUSTRY IS
NOW STABILIZED

In these days of renewed business
activity, it is especially interesting to
note what is happening in automobile
circles. In discussing this subject the
Boston News Bureau, in letter from
Detroit, says:
One of the most significant develop
ments of the situation from which the
motor industry is emerging is that
automobiles have been definitely trans
ferred from the luxury to the trans
portation class. Pres. Chaplin OF Hud-
son Motor Car Co. believes this recog-
milton and the public's swing to an OPP
timistic buying attitude are the out
standing features of the automobile
outlook.
When automobile sales began to
drop last year, finally slumping to the
vanishing point. there came a cry from
many circles that the automobile
luxury" bubble had burst and that
many manufacturers were in preca-
rious condition. But, as Mr.. Chaplin
points out. the beginning of the new
year brought Improvement, and now
the industry is maintaining it's un-
broken record of never having poor
spring business. Federal employment
service figures for February show the
motor industry to be the leader in re-
employing workers. In Detroit, ba-
rometer of the industry, a 1910, in
crease in employment was recorded in
February over January. The number
Of men taken back here was more
than six times larger than any other
city in the country. Increases weekly
in number Of employed during March
has been at the rate of 1000 to 5000.

SERVICE BIG
IN AUTOLIFE

When purchasing a motor vehicle
the question which comes most fore
IDLY to mind is, what service will I
get from it? This is determined
principally by three things:
First-Design.
Second-Manufactu
Third-The distributing organiza-
ton.
The third point is very important
and has a direct bearing upon the SER
vice which will be obtained from the
motor vehicle because it is through
the distributing organization that as
sistance will come when required.

The business situation remains one
OF sharp contrasts, with confiictipe
forces still making broad character
ization Of conditions difficult. Recent
gains have been extended in some in
stances, but the movement is spasmod-
&c and fitful, and production results
continue to vary materially.
The low rate of iron and steel output
is conspicuous among the unsatisfac-
tory features and tends to overshadow.
because of the prominence of that in
dustry. the moderate increase in man.

With most interests rigidly adhering
to a policy of operating only for i'm
mediate requirements, and within the
closest possible limits, revival comes
slowly and is plainly lacking in uni
formity.
A broadening of retail trade in some
quarters is a hopeful indication, but
part of 1t is due to seasonal influence
or to special price inducements, and
the vagaries oft he weather are not
favorable to regularity of distribution

From the Senate: An Act pro-
hibiting games and amusements on
Memorial Day. (Senate Document
This bill was passed to be en-
crossed in the House, as amended by
House Amendment "A": 1t now
comes from the Senate passed to be
engrossed in that branch as amend
ed by House Amendment "a" and
Senate Amendment "a" in nom
concurrence.
Mr.. EASTMAN of Fryeburg: Mr..
Speaker, the committee reported
unanimously fought to pass" on this
bill. There appeared before that
committee the grand commander of
the Grand Army Of the State OF
Maine, numerous veterans of the
Civil War and soldiers of the late
war. The committee feels as though
we owe something to the veterans of
the war of 1S61-1S65. Memorial day,
or Decoration day. as it is sometimes
called, is holiday observed in many
states, as the occasion for decorat-
ing the graves of the soldiers of the
Civil War. That day in the past has
been made a national holiday, the
same as the fourth Of July, or Labor
day. For several years the Grand
Army have tried to make it what It
was meant to be, but Of late years
as I say, it has become more of q
day for national sports. The ques-
ton in my mind is, do we owe, dur
ing the last years of their lives.
there being very few Of the Grand
Army men left, do we owe them
anything? Isn't it possible that we
could, make it a day of respect for
them and also for some seventy odd
soldiers who made the supreme
sacrifice" in the late war. In many
towns throughout the State the
Grand Army men have been obliged
to go to the committees in those
towns who handled the sports and
see whether they could have their
exercises in the forenoon or whether
they could have them in the after
noon. And out of the 365 days in
the year, it certainly seems to me as
though we could willingly give one
day over to these old veterans in
order that they may have their ex-
ercises when they want them, and
they should have plenty of time to
decorate the graves of their COM
rades. Another feature which &C.
ours to me is this: 1t has been i'm
possible in late years to get the chill
dren to take part in the exercises
of that day for the reason that the
sports came first in their minds, as
would naturally be the case, and
am asking that the majority report
of this committee be accepted. Gap

was passed to be engrossed.
