OUTPUT
SHOWS NO DECLINE
Some Plants Programs Will Be
Curtailed During Inven-
tory Period.

NEW YORK, December 21.-Auto-
motive Industries says:
Schedules governing operations in
major automobile producing plants
showed no decline the first ten days
of this month from the pace followed
in similar periods in October and No
vember. Curtailment Is due to come
the latter part of December, when
some producers will either close their
plants for a brief time or reduce pro-
grams materially while inventory is
being taken and manufacturing ia
cilities readjusted.
This curtailment will affect the
total production for the month, but
the output will be considerably
greater than that reported in Decem-
Der OF last year. Major factories are
operating on programs far in ad-
vance of a year ago and are not
likely to bring their schedules down
to last years level.
This year Ford will shut down for
only two days and is ely to report
a total production of 10000, with
possibilities that the 10000 figure will
be reached"

WESLEY CHAPEL
SALE REPORTED
Church Edifice at 9th and F
Streets Bought by Seventh
Day Adventists.

The old Wesley Methodist Episco-
pal Church, known as Wesley Chapel,
at 5th and F streets northwest, was
sold yesterday to the Seventh-Day
Adventists. The exact purchase price
is unknown, but is said to be lit
tie less than $4,000.
The deal was handled by William
T. Galliher for the trustees and con-
gregation, while r. Z. Harter, presi-
dent of the District of Columbia Con-
ference Association Of Seyenth-Day
Adventists, took tile to the property
for the purchasers.
Congregations to Merge.
After repairs have been made on
the building, 1t is stated, the con-
gregations Of the two Seventh-Day
Adveptists churches. at 4th and East
Capitol streets and 18th and N sire eets
northwest, respectively, will be con-
solidated at Wesley.
1t is stated that about a year ago
private interests contracted for the
purchase of the church and that q
deposit was made on it. The deal
was never consummated, however,
and the money deposited is said to
have been forfeited.
The church was opened in the
year 1928 and for many years had a
large congregation, but in the last
few years, due to members of the
church gradually moving away and
attending uptown churches, the at
tendance rapidly dwindled.
Used by Evangelists.
Since the entire congregation left
the church the building has been
used for evangelistio work. Mrs.
Matte Perry conducted evangelistic
services there for more than a year.
No rent was charged, it is said, the
trustees having taken the stand that
the good work accomplished was re-
muneration enough.
The church, which is now sur
rounded by office buildings, has been
a prominent Landmark In this city
since its construction was completed.

Spirit of Service Demonstrated

wide Activity.

Cross as the medium through which
contributions for relief of the Japan
csc earthquake sufferers should flow,
the Presidents desire came as an or
der to the Red Cross. Immediately
the entire machinery of the organiza-
ton was put in motion and within "A
hours the fund campaign was moving
with vigor in every part Of the coun-
try.
This emergency test demonstrated
the peacetime readiness of the Red
Cross to cope with stupendous tasks
In behalf of humanity. Within a
month it had collected upwards Of
sic, $50 ,00o in contributions, landed
ten cargoes of supplies at Japanese
ports and was keeping pace with re-
lief reuuirements-al without sim
gle dollar of the fund being spent for
administration.
President Coolidge. in expressing
his thanks to the people, said: when
the news of the tragedy in Japan first
reached us, the American Red Cross,
pursuant to proclamation, asked the
country for $5,oOO.o 900 to meet the
great emergency. The answer to this
appeal was prompt and generous; in
less than two weeks sum far in ex-
cess Of the original goal was given"
