OUR RIG NEW INDUSTRY.

1t is little more than twenty years
since the first automobiles made their
appearance in then markets of this
country Now it seems reasonable to
presume, says the Bache Review, that
1.-THE country continues prosperous in
a fair degree and this prosperity is
we'll distributed. a minimum average
of 100000 cars a year of all kinds
can be safely marketed over a period
of five years. Then, if conditions re-
main the same, it holds there ought
to be fair increase from time to time
thereafter.
One of the phenomenal develop
ments in the revival of business which
has been proceeding during the pres
ent year is the long leap ahead OF
output in the automobile industry.
Recently, reduction in some motor
prices has stimulated sales, but has
not greatly reduced earnings, by rea-
son of the larger production. The cut
was intended to speed up sales. Not
all manufacturers Joined in the price

year exceeded that of July, 1921. by
SO per cent, and that of July, 1890, by

bile production for the III nth OF July,

months. May and June of this present
year, have, in the history Of he in

To date, the railroad and coal
strikes have had little or TO effect
upon the automobile business. A long
continuation might affect production,
but apparently net the demand.
In the earlier years when automo-
bile buying was moving along at a
great rate, there were wise people who
pointed out warningIy that at the rate

Mrs. Shirley P. Talcott, his widow,
doctrine is believed to have brought
on the dependency which led Talcott
TO end his life, was notified that the
body was found. Since her husband

taken from Lake Michigan near the
downtown district today. In the cloth
ing, according to the police, were
found Identification papers and three
bricks with which his clothing had
been weighted. An unsigned notation
on a slip of paper found in the cloth
ing read as follows: &.-..
'If you do not withdraw your suit
against Moore, evidence will be
brought against you from six years
ago"
The police are without information
on which to base an explanation of
the note. Moore, when told of the
finding of TaIcott's body expressed
surprise. and said:
turn out that Talcott had committed
suicide. AS to motive, well there
was something long time back be-
fore / came to know him.

The railroad labor board very prop
erly declined w. Jet Lauck's request
to define a living wage" Lauek's
only object was to embarrass the
fboard. He knows, the board knows
and everybody else knows that what
may be justly termed a living wage
today may be above or below a living
wage a month from now, owing to the
Calculating cost of living. Moreover,
what would be a living wage for a
single man would be wholly made
quate for a man with a wife and chill
dren. And, on the other hand, what
Would be a living wage for the man
with family would keep the unmar-
ried man in affluence. The VARIOUS
standards of living also enter into the
question Does a living wage include
provision for a car. a photograph, a
piano and a membership in the golf
club; or doesn't it? If it does. it
would be impossible for present day
production to supply them to all.

effect that might reasonably have

on tobacco and its manufactures last
year increased SIS, 100000. The in
crease was due almost wholly to the
increased sale of cigarets, while the
revenue from cigars declined about

that the reason the proposed bout
between Johnny Buff and Jimmy

was that Buff would not fight if
Wilde was given the same amount
as he would receive. Wilde offers
TO come to America and fight Buff
ii the latter will make 112 pounds.
The recent Criqui- LedouX fight in
raris drew more money than any
sporting event outside of horse rae
ing ever held in that city. The re-
ccipts amounted to $4,000. Each
fighter received a little more than
$4,000. The government received
$4,000.

League Of Nations
Wants More Publicity

New York, Feb. 20 (By A. P)--,
Plans for better publicity are under.
consideration by the League Of Ma
tons
The Leagues news bureau today
received from Geneva q communiaue.
from the Leagues council embodyins-
a memorandum regarding publicity
prepared by Wilson Harris, London
newspaper man and president Of the
International Association of Journal
lists accredited to the League Of Ma
tons.
1T is OF the highest importance
that the League council should sit
habitually in public and only excep-
tionally in private" says the state
ment. "Only the adoption of that
principle can secure the regular at.
tendance at council meetings of jour-
nalists from such centres as Lon
don. Paris. and Rome.
1T has to he remembered that what
interests the public is active contro-
versy. not merely a dry exposition OF
Emergencies of view, but the sharp
unstudied expression of difference OF
opinion. Consequently, sessions OF
the council IL reports of them are to
engage popular interest, must avoid
the appearance of having been stag
ed, and must be public even where
there is risk OF the unexpected. It
is the unexpected that stimulates
public interest"
Publicity arrangements Of the as.
sembly were highly praised.

Geography Of Textile
Strike a Puzzle

Pawtucket. r. J.. Feb. o0.-The geo.
graphy of the textile strike in Rhode
Island is a blank puzzle to any but a
native Of the state. The cities of
PawtuCket and Central Falls are cas-
lily identified but the towns of Lin
coin and Cumberland are seldom
mentiO in the strike news. Yet in
these two towns are located most of
the Blackstone Valley mills outside OF
the two cities. Each mill village has
it's own name which is commonly
used without reference to the town in
which It is located. In the town OF
Lincoln are the villages Of Saylcs-
vile, Lonsdale. Berkeley. Albion and
Manville. In Cumberland are Valley
Falls Hnd Ashton. Similarly, in the
Pawtucket Valley the strike centres
are in the town of Warwick and West
Warwick. The village of Pontiac is
in the former and in the latter are
Natick, River Point, Arctic, Centre
vile and Crompton.
Pawtucket and Central Falls are
just north of Providence and the
rest OF the Blackstone Valley stretch
es northwest from the twin cities.
The Pawtucket Valley is short dis
lance southwest of Providence. Each
OF the valleys is named for the river
which furnishes power for the mills.
