Slump in Auto Trade
Denied by General
Motors Head
By COsmOpOIitan News Service.

DETROIT, May 25.-Reports
that the automobile industry
was approaching a downward
turn were disputed today by
G. S. Mott, vice president OF
the General Motors Corporation.
"I am surprised to hear com-
ments that the industry has
begun to slump" he said. 1T
is not true in General Motors.
Some divisions are experiencing
the usual spring recession IN
slight degree, but taking the
corporation as a whole we are
planning on increasing output
rather than decreasing it"
Mott said some divisions are
asking for authority to contract
for materials beyond the four
months advance period during
which they may make such con-
tracts without approval of the
appropriations committee.
"These forward commit
ments," he added, "are on the
increase. If business was
slumping they would be decreas-
ing"

Chairman johnson Sees Harm In
Appointing New Members to

Chairman Johnson of the House

squarely on record as opposed to a
proposal which Is being discussed by
leaders of both the republican and

increase the membership of the i'm

that, with five vacancies already ex-

DRY ENFORCEMENT
AIDED BY TARIFF
Daugherty Says Act Gives
Chance to Try WioIators
on Either Charge.

THE tariff act has been employed
az a new and powerful arm, in the
enforcement of prohibition along the
northern border with much success
II was announced last night by Attor-
new General Daugherty, who also de-
,Iared that dry enforcement, so far
as the department was concerned
was steadily advancing.
He pointed out that since the tarlr
act defines liquor as merchandise,
provisions Of the act applied clearly
TO importations of liquor, without its
having paid the duty provided for
in the act before prohibition became
n national policy. Those who smuggle
Iiuuor across the border, the attorney
general said, have been guilty of dou-
BILE crime against the United States
They have violated the Nolstead act
and also the tariff act providing rev.
enues of the United States, and may
be prosecuted under either or both.
Several important cases of this kind
were said to have just been concluded
at Detroit and the guilty men given
the extreme penalty
Use of "PadIock.''
Mr. Daugherty referred also TO the
more intensive application of the
paddock provisions OF the enforce
ment act.
In the northern district of Illinois

crees for permanent injunctions clos

l. How old.fashioned Of your par

ABOUT the boys with whom you go!
Old-fashioned, and sensible. l cannot
argue against them, Katy. for your
parents are right. They want to pro
tect you. However, I do not think
they are right to insist upon your
asking the other boy before you have
other dates" You are too young to
have just one boy friend. and it is

?. a fraternity pin is taken as a
sign Of An engagement now.
3. AS you are in a small town, I
should say that weekday dates should
end at 1890, with an extension of
time for parties.

the truth. That would not hurt her
more than for you to break dates, de-
ceive her or do something else which
would cause her to break the engage
ment.
Tell her the truth, then she will re-
lease you, 1 am sure. However, you
should give the girl the privilege of
giving the impression that it was she
who caused the breaking of the en-
gagement.

BOT: You must be of a quarrelsome
nature, as you seem to have trouble
with all your boy friends.
If the Christmas present was val.
liable, you should give it back. If ii
was just a little friendship gift,
keep it.
Unless the second boys offense was
too serious to be forgiven you might
let him come back.
Your obedience should be to your
mother. Do as she wishes. Your
stepfather has no right to ask you to
do the homework and work down
town, too, as long as it is not a finan.
cial necessity.
You can do nothing about the boy
who stopped writing. I think you
should do something to sweeten your
nature.
