Income of Capital Traction
Slightly Lo,ver IN February
Local Company Receipts Compared Will,
Same Month Year Ago-UneUen Stu
alton ShO,un IN General Business

Income of the Capital Traction Com
pany for the month of February, 1924,
fell off approximately $4,000 from
the corresponding month of the pre-
vious year, statement of earnings filed
with the Public Utilities Commission
shows. The report was delayed sew
eral weeks due to arbitration hear
fngs under way with the carriers en-
pIoyes. H.
A loss OF 90, 069 in revenue passen-
gers during the period was primarily
responsible for the adverse showing,
the report indicates. In 1928 the COM
pany carried, in Maryland and the
District, a total of 5.330,739 pay pas
sengers, this number decreasing to
5.234,67O for the latter month.
Total railway operating revenue
amounted to sS69,542.79 during the
month with expenses totaIing $3.50
1925. Taxes assignable to railway
operations aggregated $50, l60, and
deductions totaled S25.615.S3. The non
February'S net is approximately
$1,000 in arrears of the sum reported
for the previous month of this year.
General Business Situation.
An uneven situation in business stu
exists with sharp contrasts shown.
Consumption remains very large, but
there is relatively little forward buy =
ing; steel output has been record
breaking, yet orders have recently de
creased; notable activity in the build
ing Industry is indicated, though at
some points signs of a let-up are
seen; cotton goods trading has lately
increased, bat curtailment of produc-
ton goes on; and similar Irregular
ties appear in other quarters;
Soma gain in retail sales has come
with the approach of Easter. yet in
clement weather has been a drawback
and the same influence has impeded
farm work and the progress OF crops

in some sections. These phases have
had an effect upon sentiment, but
price uncertainties and political con-
ditions account for most of the pres
ent hesitation and Discrimination to
anticipate future needs. Even with
supplies at a low point in various in
stances, moderate-sized commitments,
covering current or nearby require
ments only, are the rule, and the eau
tfous purchasing has led to sharper
competition for business in several
directions. f
AS pressure to sell increases, price
conce ssions are made more frequently
and Dun's list of wholesale quota
lions, for the sixth consecutive week,
shows an excess of declines. Despite
the restricted forward buying and the
evidence Of price reaction, however,
underlying conditions are considered
sound and the report on German

ACCESSORIES MADE
 FOR OLDSMOBILES
All Cars Are Equipped With
 Holes For Installing

Certified accessories made especially to fit the new OldsmObile Six are be ing supplied all authorized Oldsmobile dealers by the Olds Motor Works. The accessories are sold at a fat-rate net price, which includes all attachments This innovacation sis in line with the recently announced plan of the Olds Motor Works to F supply all repair parts, freight and war tax free, at a standard price anywhere in the cOun- try
 The accessories include bumpers, bar handled radiator caps, spot lights, wind shield cleaners, rear view mirrors. step plates, trunks, trunk platforms and rails, and windshield wings and sport tire carrier assemblies. They are given the same rigid laboratory tests as are all materials used ip-the manufacture of the cars themselves.
 All cars leaving the factory at Lam sing are equipped with the proper holes, connections, etc, required to install any of the accessories. The accessories themselves are supplied with attach ments made to fit the Oldsmobile, making the adjustment but moments work.
 Our sport models now are equipped with these attachments, but with the present exceptionally modest selling prices of the OIdsmobile touring and roadster it is not possible to inelde these extras" explained Guy H. Pea alley, general salesmanager, Olds MOtoS Works. Nevertheless many buyers de sire some or all of these accessories but find them expensive Go buy and attach, and frequently the accessory does not fit the car. Our present plan permits a buyer to add what accessories he de- sires at a nominal cost and with the assurance that they will have the app pearance of being integral parts of his car"

PREPARING FOR
 RUSH IN SPRING
General Oil Corporation Fill
 Tanks With Go-Zip And Speedol

Approximately $175.0OO worth of Go Zip and Speedol is now stored in the huge storage tanks of the General Oil corporation at 3200. Avenue E, Avon dale, in anticipation of the marked in- crease in motor fuel consumption which always accompanies the advent of spring.
 While the unreasonable March snow storms and cold waves have delayed the spring rush to the country roads, off cials of the General Oil corporation have adopted the program of prepared ness and rushed to completitiOn the huge storage tanks, which have been building for the past few months. These two new tanks, both situated on the recently pur- chased tract adjoining the initial unit of the Go-Zip plant will hold with other tanks already built approximately 6O0,- 900 gallons of Go-Zip. At present mar ket price of 24 cents per gallon, this stored motor fuel represents an aggre- gate investment of sbout $144, 900. Speedol stored at the plant has a mar ket value de about $30, 900 additional.
 First shipments of Go-Zip outside of Alabama were announced this week by ]. Gregory Johnston. Automobile own CTS who had tested the qualities of Co., Zip while in Birmingham and who have since removed to Florida recently sent an order to the Avondale plant for ship ments of Go-Zip, to Florida, The motor fuel will be used, so it is understood, in some special tests which are being made in Florida with the new fuel,
 Approximately three-fourths of all taxicabs operated in Birmingham have turned to Go-Zip, according to officials ot the company. ..,
 ''It is primarily the quick starting powers of Go-Zip, the ability to pick uy quickly in traffic, which is recommend ing it to operators. of taxicab com, panies, so taxicab owners have informed Mir. Johnston. Results of tests now be- ing made with mileage will soon be an nounced by the operator of one of thu largest fleets of cabs in the city.
 To enable British architects to study in the United States, a six months scholarship has been founded by ar American architect.

BUSIEST SEASON
 NOW AT HAND
Its Time For Robins, Showers And Spring Rush,
 Says Pryor

'srhis is the season of the year." declares A. R. Pryor, Hudson Essex distributor. ''for robins. light over coats and the spring rush for motor cars.
 From all indications 1t will be the most insisten rush we ever knew.
 "In my entire 20 years experience as a distributor I have never before had so many untitled orders for cars. This is despite the fact that we have done Ia wonderful business right thro-... the winter, 90 that our orders now are by no means an accumulation. =
 "It is the coach-the Hudson and Essex coach--wnich has brought this about. The coach .s right now the one biggest selling factor in the automobile business. The public wants an en- closed car at a moderate price.
 "The name coach is now official. For a long time some persons insisted that there was no such thing as a coach; 1t was simply sort of sedan. Now the society of automobile en- gineers has recognized the coach. and mas defined it as just the sort Of body which Hudson Essex originated and which now makes up I5 per cent or or more of Hudson Essex business.
 Everyone knows that the great fac IOI III cutLIuS uoWu CUStS III dutOufO- piles has been the practice of standard. ixine. Most of this standa rdizing was done on the mechanism of the cars. Hudson Essex standardized or. enclosed bodies, and thus were able to offer an enclosed car at practically an open car price.
 "One fact whi... mviuces me that business conditions are basically sound is that the used car market retains a wonderful activity.
 That means that the wage earner is well employed at a good rate of pay. While that keeps up, there ix no cause for business worries.
 Never before has there been such value in motor carr.
 While the puhlic has to pay S1 for 50 cents worth of clothing, food or rentals---o a 1914 basis--it IS still pos sible to get more motor car for c dollar than ever before. One reason for the great volume of trade is that people do not feel they are overchGrged. Especially in the spring and sum mer, the motor car becomes part of a family's home"
