agreed that the midyear reductions
have stabilized conditions in the in

changes during 1921.
"The success Of the automobile in

ton and the resulting low prices which
insure a broad market. For that reason
every effort has been made to produce
better cars at lower prices to insure the
big productions which make increased

Allowance Offsets Price.
There has been a steady demand for
used cars, prices for which have also
been substantially reduced. Lower prices
on new cars have been Offset somewhat
by the reduced allowances. on used cars
when offered for trade-in by the
retail buyer. In other words, many who
waited for the reductions of the past
few months saved comparatively little
owing to the lower valuation on their
old car.
Good buying power has been shown
where prices have been reduced or
where 1t was known that present prices
and quality would be maintained. The
National Automobile Chamber OF Com
merce figures show that with more than
8.000,000 passenger cars in use, the re-
placement demand alone should be
about 1000, 900 cars. The production OF
passenger cars last year was 1883 900.
To show how close are the new prices.
one Of the largest manufacturers in his
last cut was only able to reduce $25.
This manufacturer Is producing at the
rate of 10000 vehicles a month. During
this readjustment period some cars are
being sold at a loss because of the high
wages and the costly materials that
were bought last fall.

The Christian Endeavor movement
originated in a young peoples society,
organized by the Rev. Frances E..
Clark, pastor of the Williston Congre-
gational church in Portland, Maine
It's first membership consisted of alb:
out fifty boys and girls who met Feb,
2, 1881, in the PASTORS parlor and
pledged themselves to attend and take
some part in weekly prayer: meeting
and once month to hold a consecra-
ton meeting. Other duties, social, re-
ligious, literary, and of various kinds,
were assigned to different members.
The idea met with instant acceptance.
In 1913 there were 75,063 societies OF
which 53,417 were in the United Sta:
ties and Canada and 21,646 in other
hands. The total membership was
about 3,75S, 900. More than 100, 900
societies under different names with
over 5000, 900 members are organized
on the plan of the Christian Endeavor.
These scattered ORGANIZATIONS are
bound together by a corporation, the
United Society Of Christian Endeavor'
organized in 1885, with headquarters
I'm Boston and managed by board OF
trustees. The organ OF the society is
