: IS PREDICTION
Leading Economists Foresee
Long Period of Suburban
Development.

We can Judge the future only by
the past. To-day we are witnessing
tho developments of the twenty
fourth year Of motor transportation.
Everyone notices the vast number of
motor vehicles in our streets. and
everyonc who is at all interested in
the progress of the country is in
clined to wonder what cond!t ons VIII
he ten years from now.
Judging from the past, it is safe to
predict that the increasing use of the
automobile VIII bring developments
beyond the power Of any man TO pro
phesy. Where we now nave an auto
mobile for one out OF every ten per
sons in the country. it is probable that
with the general betterment OF high
ways we viii have perhaps one car
for every family before another ten
years shall have passed.
- There undoubtedly will be many
changes in the physical appearance
of our great cities. to accommodate
the automobiles. The densely popu.
lated metropolitan areas will always
Zoe served by subways, elevated, tro,.
ley and bus lines. but az the same
time there VIII be an increasing de.
mand for individual transportation
which can only be supplied by the
motor car.
Leading economists foresee a long
period OF suburban development
around large cities.
The result Is better living condl
tons for those who move u to the
country, Inc for those who prefer tc
live In the city.

John j. Raskob, of General

Units in 1928.

John ]. Raskob. chairman of the
finance committee OF the General Mo
tors, in an interview with the New
York journal" stated that he believed
the production of motor vehicles in
1928 by all manufacturers of the
United States would exceed 3 200 600
units. 1929 production reached p
100000 the greatest number ever
made in N year.
His opinion is based on his analysis
Of the extent TO which tho production
has caught up to what he regards as
the normal growth OF the industry. In
1929, only half Of what was expected
to be the normal replacement bust.
ness was done and the "catching-up"
process may be expected to continue
for another year.
Regarding tho present price situa.
ton, Mr. RasSob said: Il believe we
have now reached the bottom of the
decline. and are now nearing the
period Of advances as a result OF tho
rising market in raw materials and
wages to labor. We have already
gone about rs far as we can I'm alb.

Mr.. Raskob also said that Genera,

Beds Of Ancient Rich

The Sensational discoveries in
Egypt have brought to light, among
many other priceless treasures, new
and weird additions to the worlds
collection of curious beds.
But a carved head. with a large
ivory tongue and teeth, awe-inspir-
ing as it must be, is not the most
curious of embellishments boosted
by royal couches.
Kings Of all ages have lavished
wealth. art and ingenuity upon their
resting places.
Ludwig H., the mad king of Ba-
varia," spent $625,000 on one of his
beds, and had another constructed
to resemble a Gothic cathedral. with
tall windows and famous painting
of the Madonna set in the head.
A Partisan bed of silver and wood.
built for ar Indian prince. was orna-
mented at each corner by large
female figure holding a fan. The
weight of the princes body set
mechanism in motion Wnicn caused
the fans to osciliate, soothing the
sleeper with a pleasant breeze.
But the most extraordinary of all
beds was the gift of a. Russian En-
peror to the Shah of Persia. Made
entirely of crystal and surmounted
by a chandelier. this monument of
discomfort bore automatic fountains
whose splashing lulled to sleep
probablv with some difflculty-the
uneasy head that wore the crown.
How different is this empty
spIendor from the simplicity pre-
ferred by greater men of lesser birth.
