BRIDES DISAPPEAR IN STRANGERS CAR
By Associated Press

Youngstown, Ohio, March 8.-Mrs. Ag- nes Hetzell, IS years of age, and Mrs Thelma Hetzen, 20, sisters, who re- gently married Henry and Jacob Hetzell brothers. of Atlanta Mich, have mys- teriously disappeared, the bridegroom reported to the local police today Search for the brides in this city and surrounding towns proved futile.
 The newly married couples were on an automobile honeymoon trip to visit rel atives of the brides at North Jackson, near here. according to the story told the police. Soon after passing Akron yesterday their car was stopped by a woman standing beside a big touring car who appealed to the men to change a tire for her, which she said had blown out.
 As the men worked the women chatted together When the tire was changed the stranger requested the brides to ride with her, saying she was lonely.
 The big car sped away from the unsus- pecting husbands whose fears were first aroused when they reached North Jack son and found no one had seen the au- tomobile containing the three women.

MOTOR OUTLOOK IS
 NOW VERY BRIGHT
Higher Grade Machines Now in Demand-0ne Manufac-
 turer OverSold
By Associated Press

Detroit, Mich, March 2S-A decided i'm provement in the motor car business, with resultant increase in production, was indicated by manufacturers here to- day. Demand for pleasure cars, trucks and tractors, it was said, had been grow ing steadily for several weeks past. Pro- ducsrs of low-priced machines first noted the improvement, but now, it was said, higher grade cars were in demand One manufacturer of a high-priced car re- ported today his stock was oversold The principal demand, according to the manufacturers comes from the east and the far west, with the Pacific coast in the lead. The export strade was also said to be improving. Various reasons were assigned for the apathy in the middle west, among them the fact that it is principally agricultural and there- fore had been affected to greater ex- tent by depression in foodstuffs markets. The Ford Motor company announced that 6O per- cent of the men employed here last fall were now at work on a six-day schedule. while the Dodge Bros. plant, which opened only two weeks ago on a 10 per cent scale, was reported to be working at 60 per cent normal. The Packard, Hudson and Essex plants are running at about 50 per cent, and the Cadillac, Lincoln, Paige Hupp, Stude- baker, Columbia, Maxwell, Chalmers and Schipps-Booth factories here announced g. quantity production had again been reached.
