Predicted 1924 Will Equal, If Not Exceed, The Pres
 ent Year
By EDWARD P. HALLINE Geased Wire to The Age-Herald )
 Copyright 1924

DETROIT, Dec. S.-The automobile industry in 1924 will equal, 1t not ex- ceed. the prosperity 1t experienced this year-the greatest year In its history-three of the leading motor car manufacturers In America pre- dicted in exclusive interviews today.
 Tho greatest stimulant that busi- ness could have" c. s. Mott, vice president of the General Motors Cor poration said. Is the full adoption of Secretary Melons recommendations for drastic tax reductions"
 But the advance of prosperity in America cannot be hated, Vice Presi- dent Mott said. not even by industrial stagnation in Europe.
 Harry Jewett, president of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company, pointed to increased and steadier em- poyment, "our. best indications of in- dustrial prosperity"
 Jewett, Mott and Alvin MacAuley, president of the Packard Motor com pany, all expressed their belief that the rosy prospects of the New Year hold good for American industry in general The prosperity of the auto mobile industry, President MacAuley said, Is the best t'check there is on the buying power of the people.
 T expect the 1924 automobile business to equal that of 1928, which was the greatest ever enjoyed by the industry and Is much larger than 1922" Vice President Mott said.
 Since the early fall months, President Jewett said, I've have zeen able to read the signs of continued prosperity during the coming year.
 While 1923 was surprise year from a business standpoint, 1924 will surpass even the present 12 months.
 Farmers have readjusted them selves. Experience dearly bot ght has taught them how next year to cash in on their products.
 Our best indications of industrial prosperity are based on employ ment From everywhere information is that more men are working more steadily than ever before. We will increase employment in Detroit by the opening g of new unit to manufacture ouO cars daily, bringing our capacity up to $50 automobiles each working day. Thus is our faith in 1924 dem onstrated.'
 President MacAuley of the Pack ard company declared himself "decid- edly an optimist,"
 Employment is better" he said. "The volume of sales will at least be as great next year as in the present year. l would not be surprised to see 8 reasonable increase, but 1t Will not be a sensational one.
 Business conditions generally are sound and they are getting sounder."

seen a collection of oil paintings by
Cameron Burnside, whose works is per-
haps better known abroad than at home

France and for lack of showing in
this country. 1t instantly, however,
proclaims its merit, evidencing a kim
ship with the best work of the French

time witnessing to individuality of
viewpoint. The landscapes by Mr..
Burnside now on view are painted in
