Probably the greatest barometer OF
business conditions Is the automobile
industry, which varies with the tide
OF financial c or depression and
rises and tails with q regularity which
surpasses even the most stable stock
on the market.

the automobile industry sufficiently to

there is a car for every man More
automobiles were in 0se last year
than had been placed in service u
ing any previous ten years. In many
ways it was beneficial to have 50 many
machines in service, but a close an

done to have the nation flooded with

prosperity which had swept over the
nation had rolled I'D on the beach
and was turning back with a warning
hiss, producing an undercurrent that
threatened to carry away the I'M
stable wildcat business institutions
that had been given birth during the
war period
Now Back to Normal
Today the automobile manufactur-
ers : going forward with their an
nual plans tor production. It is an
indication that the wave Of prosperity
has returned to the sea Of normanty,
leaving the country in q healthy con-
dition, mentally as we'll as financially,
and ready to meet all problems on =
pre-war basis.
The temporary period OF depression
has passed by. but in the minds OF
only time and absolute proof can

ltated . year ago when the demand
for the conduct Of business on a big
basis to meet demands, became .ap-

the path is broken by tho more OAR

leaders in each line permit them to.
Get Back to Normal.
II Conditions are not exactly at the
normal level today, they are rapidly
reaching that point and there IS every
indication that could be given that
business all over America will be at
normal before the first real breath OF
spring turns the attention Of the
motorist to his nrst pleasure jaunt.
The biggest indication is the auto
mobile industry again. Every plant
is making PREPARATIONS for normal
production. although it is true that
retrenchrnents have been made as far
as the manufacturing of entirely new
models with radical changes in body
types are concerned. To the auto
owner. this is a relief There Is no
particular demand for machines that
are IN contrast to the models Of last
year, for it IS generally agreed that

veuience is concerned
A Year For Truch

Commons Rejection Of Terms Would

LONDON. Aug. 10 CUnited Press).
Lloyd George in the House OF
Commons, and Marquis Curzon in
the House Of Lords today told the
British Parliament that the govern
ment had gone its limit in its offers
to Ireland.
While Curzon was telling The Lords
that the government had gone to
the extreme limits In its offers"
Lloyd George reported 20 the Com
mohers that the government has
already said all Il has 10 say in its
letters TO De Valera"
The Premier warned anxious
House members that there was great
danger OF Misrepresentation at the
misunderstandings at the present
stage OF the Irish negotiations.
THE Irish atmosphere is always
full OF suspicion" he said.
Il have heard no suggestion from
any part Of the world save Ireland
that this government had not gone
20 the very limits OF possible conces-
sion in its offers to Ireland" Lloyd
George said. I'VE have offered
everything that we possibly could in
