ADDRESSES TONIGHT

Automobile owners of Richmond are
urged to attend the automotive meet
ing to be held on the third floor of
the K. of F. temple at 7:30 o'clock

c. +. Hanch, one of the most prom
1nent organizers in the automobile in
dustry, have been secured to address
local motorists
Mr.. Noblett will discuss the work

service during the war. He has an
especially interesting message for
Richmond automobile owners.
Valuable Service
'The Hoosier association has been
doing a great deal of work for the
automobile owners without receiving
much support in return" said Fred
Bethard, president of the Wayne
County Automotive Dealers associa-
tion, Wednesday, Right here at
home invaluable service has been rem
dered to owners of automobiles. An
example of the service rendered is the
issuance of license plates at the Rich
mond branch of the association on
North Tenth street. This service has
proved a great convenience for local
drivers and has saved them a lot of
time and trouble"
Among other services rendered by
the association are the marking of
the National Highway trail, marking
of danger spots in highways, marking
highway, and impetus given legisla-
tion enacted for the benefit of auto
mobile owners.

It for the paving of the gaps in the
National road in Indiana, it having
been real factor in getting the work
through. 1t is hoped to have the paw

the association is marking detours in
order that motorists may avoid the
torn-up gaps in the National road.
1t is pointed out that if the associa-
tion could accomplish all these things
with the limited support it now has,
it could perform much greater service
to motorists if all automobile owners
would get back of the association and
give it their support

MERCHANTS URGED
TO PUT ON STEAM
FOR FUTURE TRADE
fRv Associated Pcess.l

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 10-Mer-
chants of the country were urged to
put on steam and prepare to handle
the business of tomorrow by Governor
Harding of the federal reserve board
in an address here today before the
Southern Wholesale Drygoods asso-
ciation
Many indications of improved con-
ditions both in this country and
abroad are apparent, he declared, and
business men should forget the mis-
fortunes of the past and make ready
for the opportunities of the future.
The situation today, Governor Hard
ing asserted, is in many respects the
reverse of what it was at the end OF
1919, surplus goods having now gone
into consumption and there being a
marked reduction in the goods on
the merchants shelves.
Brings New Hope
"The fact that a revival in agricul-
ture," he said, has come much sooner
than had been expected by those who
regarded the low prices of last sum-
mer as permanent has brought new
hope and courage to the agricultural
districts and affords basis for the be-
lief that there will be in due time, a
distinct business improvement in
those districts"
While the situation abroad is still
complicated, he said, there are many
indications of improvement The ex-
changes of some of the leading Euro
pean countries have become more sta
BILE during the past year and the
money spent by the American tourists
now flocking to Europe will add to the
ability of the foreigners TO buy Amer.
ican goods.
"The last seven years." Governor
Harding continued. "have been full of
momentous and stirring events, and
merchants have had their trials and
their burdens to bear, as well as all

PINCHOT IS TRYING
TO SMASH MACHINE
IN NPENNSYLVANIk
BY MARX Sullivan

PHILADELPHIA Pa, May 10.-The
next political event in sight is the Re.
publican primary in Pennsylvania, to
be decided next Tuesday.
For the understanding of the public
outside of Pennsylvania, it can be said
that the two United States senatorship
concerned are not the cause of the ex-
citement in political circles.
For the succession to Senator Knox
there is but one Republican candidate
young lawyer named Reed, who was
junior member in the late Senator
Knox's Pittsburg law firm.
Mr.. Reed will have no opposition in
the primaries, and will undoubtedly
win the fall election against the Dem.
ocratic candidate. 1t can be taken for
granted that the successor to Senator
Knox is practically chosen.
In the same way, to only a slightly
less extent, it is clear that the sue
will be George Wharton Pepper. Mr..
Pepper has some opposition in the Re
publican primary. 1t is furnished by
a railroad labor man, William J
Burke.
Burke is making an energetic cam
paign but he cannot win. Pepper has
Republican party. He has avoided be-
coming involved in the fight within
the party.
Pepper VIII Win.
Not only will Mr.. Pepper get the Re
publican nomination, but it is equally
certain that he will prevail over the
Democrat in the fall election.
In all probability the next senators
from Pennsylvania will be the two Re-
publicans Reed and Pepper.
But it is over the governorship of
Pennsylvania that the most bitter
fight is on that has taken place with
in the Republican party in PennsyI-
vania within a generation. The candi-
date who is creating most of the in
terest is nationally known figure
Clifford Pinchot. Mr.. Pinchot's career
in politics has been that of an ideal

BUSINESS CONDITIONS
SHOW SANE ADVANCE,
SAY MANUFACTURERS
(By Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, May 10-Business and
trade conditions throughout the Unit
ed States, as reported by 10000 manu-
facturers to John E. Edgerton, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, today show a stable,
sane, definite and continuing advance"
I'VE have not only turned the cor
ner," was Mr.. Edgerton's summary. of
a survey of the industry just complet-
ed, 1--WE are now leaving it very far
behind. Business is on the upgrade
in practically all of the basic indus
tries"
The survey was made by question
nalres, answers to which were received
within the last "a hours so that it rep
resents conditions as of today.
The great majority of our basic
industries represent that the present
trade is fair to good. Some say it is
excellent, but only a small part say il
is poor the report continued There
is general tenor of bright prospects
for the future and a great many of-the
industries not only report that they are
employing more men than they were a
year ago, but that they are looking
for still further increase in their
forces when the fall work sets in"
No Pessimism
"1n the replies there is an absolute
lack of an expression of pessimism. A
year ago we were not so fortunately
situated. Many of our industries were
still suffering greatly from the war
effects, some of them thought per-
haps that they would never be able
to get back to normal.
I'm the steel industries today the
survey shows conditions classed as ex-
cellent among six per cent of our
membership; 25 per cent as good. 80
per cent as fair and II per cent as
poor. In the textile Industry 20 per
cent of them report conditions running
from fair to excellent and 80 per cent
report poor conditions. In the ma
chine and tool industry we find so
per cent of the replies reporting con-
d1tions fair to excellent and the re-
mainder not so encouraging.
IN three industries where retrench-
ment is ordinarily acutely felt-auto-
mobiles, jewelry and leather-the
showing is not by any means gloomy,
although not so good as in other lines.
From the automobile trades good re-
ports are 70 per cent; in jewelry so
per cent and in leather so per cent.
All of these businesses from steel
to jewelry report prospects for high
percentages of increase between now
and fall"
