Revival of Auto Industry
Atlanta Trade Inspiration
BY RALPH SMITH,
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Speciai Dispatcn 10 i lie Star.
ATLANTA, Ga. March 1.-THE re-
viVai of the automobile industry since
January, when it was almost entirely
dormant, encouraged the Atlanta
dealers and distributors, whose terri
tory embraces large part of the
southeast, to stage this week an auto
mobile show that has broken all at
tendance records and brought to At
lanta hundreds of automobile men
from all sections of the south. Sales
inspired the show, which in turn has
stimulated sales.
The automobile business was the
first and the hardest hit in this terri
tory. barring, of course cotton, which
remains in a state of depression. due
IN part. to the law of supply and de-
mand. and in part to the bearish
operations of market manipulators.
Ihe Improvement in the automobile
industry is accepted by bankers as a
forerunner of the return of conditions
that VIII approximate rre-war nor
maicy in business throughout the
south
On the Upward Trend.
AS to general conditions through :
out this territory, it is stated that
IN the cities and larger towns retail
business is good and on the upward
trend, but in the smaller towns and
rural districts it is poor
East Tennessee. including the cities
OF Chattanooga and Knoxville, and
the entire state of Florida have suf-
fered lees and are in better shape
today than other sections of the
south, according to reports received
by the Federal Reserve Bank of At
lanta. The cities of Atlanta, Savan-
nah and Columbus, in Georgia. have
suffered relatively little during the
depression. Columbus especially has
escaped the stringency. due to the
expansion Of Camp Benning, and in
Atlanta and Savannah, retail trade
has held up remarkably we'll.
Despite the slump in the demand
for naval stores and lumber. which
are two of the states chief re-
sources, Florida is in good shape"

MADRID. March 11.-According to
the newspapers here the assassins of
Premier Dato have been caught at
Ciudad Lineal, near Madrid.
In a house in the Gale Arturosoria
which was rented only last Sunday
by Catalonian from Barcelona, civil
guards arrested two men whose cloth
ing corresponded to the details given
by witnesses of the crime. The guards
also found the much-used side car Of

cotton still Problem.
Citrus fruits and tourists are as
much of an asset to Florida as naval
stores and lumber. and the season
just closing has been unusually prof.
liable in these lines" he added.
1t is the view of bankers. however.
that permanent relief and satlsfac-
tory business conditions throughout
the territory depend upon the solution
of the cotton problem. They snare
with the farmers resentment
against the recurring bear raids on
the cotton market. and the demand OF
farmers associations for legislation
that will restrict purely speculative
market transactions is gaining
support from new and unexpected
sources. 1t is their view that the
government should take a hand TO
see that short selling of cotton fu-
lures should be restricted.

TRADE CONDITIONS.

NEW YORK, March 12-Dun's re-
view of trade says:
with the advancing season there
is some stimulation of activities in
certain directions, and an early open
ing of spring trade is foreshadowed.
Favorable weather and the near ap-
proach of Easter are helpful to re-
tail distribution in different sections,
and offerings of new merchandise are
meeting with reader sale than had
been expected in some quarters.
The reported paucity of supplies
in a few lines, as in some textile
branches, also. gives moderate i'm
petus to buying. and a measure of
support of prices after a protracted
period of yielding. Broadly consid-
cred. however, the situation is still
marked by various unsatisfactory
features. especially in industrial
channels. and revised estimates of
the general purchasing power are
necessitated by the frequent wage
reductions and restricted manufac-
turing operations.
while orders flow more freely to
some producers. the demand remains
fitful and usually in small lots to
cover Immediately or nearby require
ment, indicating a purpose among
many interests to defer extensive en-
gagements until conditions become
more stable"

| KANSAS CITY. Mo, March 12.-
! Kansas City packing house workers

Upon the outcome of that vote and

If the workers vote to strike, as it
is predicted they will. and President
Harding does not respond to the ap-
peal of the workers and take govern
walkout, the result will be reflected in
other industries. In brief, the whole
process of readjustment may be tied
up.

HANDLING VANS
Sweets are Easily Bruited up and
Need Easy Handling.

Clemson College, Oct. 12.-Sweet
potatoes are easily bruised and when
handld too much, and without
proper care, trouble is more than apt
to follow. Potatoes should be
handled as if they were glass, or as
eggs should be handled, advises the
Extension Service specialists. Bruis-
ed, cut, SCARED or injured potatoes
are hard to keep, as they are more
susceptible to rot. The least and
most carful handling is best. In
grading and preparing sweet pota-
toes for the curing house, the tops
should be left off Of crates and the
craes should not be heaping full at
all time. This practice will prevent a
lot of bruises and save a lot of
crates.
Potatoes should he graded before
going into the curing houses, or
before banking or otherwise keeping.
Springs, andin most cases Junbos,
should be fed to hogs and cattle.
Where the local trade can use Jum-
bos, they should be sold in the fall
at harvesting time. It is best policy
to put only the No. 1 potatoes into
the curing house. Especially is this
true when there are practically
enough sweet potatoes to fill the
curing house.
