AUTO SLUMP is over
Factories Look for Gradual
Increase.

DETROIT, Aug. 10.-With the end
of July, the midsummer low point
in the automobile industry has been
passed and gradual improvement is
being looked for by dealers. Orders
are in good volume, and factories
are making prompt deliveries. The
expansion noted in the spring is
having its effect on output and re-
sultant promptness in getting the
newmodels into dealers hands.
The general level of commodity
prices has fallen to the lowest point
in recent years. About rs per cent
of the factories here are reported as
working at normal, or very close
to it. Woodworking plants report
good volume, and at least so per
cent o. the foundrieS in this terri
tory are working on very salts
factory volume of business.
Approximately $4,000 more work
ers are being employed in Detroit
factories than in June. July in
creases of employment in the State,
as whole, outnumbered decreases.

STEADY CAIN IN
AUTO EXPORTS
IS PREDICTED
European Survey Shows
Rapid Progress in Building
Highways.

with more than 10000 American
motor cars shipped in April with
June exports up % per cent and in
dications of 100000 vehicles ex-
ported in 1927 to ninety different
countries, another two years should
see the expected 100000 American
motor cars, BUSES and trucks going
annually to overseas markets, to
add to the efficiency of the people
of other countries" said Alfred
Reeves, general manager of the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of Com
merce upon his return from seven
weeks in Europe where he conduct
ed a survey.
NOV fully convinced that motor
cars are no longer luxuries, but
ime-saving necessities, the Euro
pean countries are making progress
in the building of highways, read
justing taxes and the establishing
of more motor truck and bus routes.
No Longer Luxuries
"Our centralized effort associated
with the British, German, French,
Italian, Austrian and Belgian max
ers will be to expand the markets
in those countries that have been
slow to adopt motors sometimes be-
cause of poor highways, often ex-
ceSsive taxation and not infrequent-
ly because motors have been con-
sidered luXuries.
while the sale and use of cars
is still heavily taxed in most of the
European countries there is a dis
position to reduce taxes and a gen.
eral appreciation that all funds col
lected from motorists should be ex-
pended on highways.
Tnstallment Buying Gains
"For that reason, the motor bust
ness abroad has been excellent for
most of the companies. Our cars
offer such power, sturdiness, mod
ern equipment, easy riding qualities,
styles and color, that they are
sweeping the boards. Scandinavian
countries favor American cars. to
the extent of about 80 per cent of
their imports.
Gar buying on the installment
plan is increasing"

SPEED LEGAL
IN CALIFORNIA
New Auto Laws Increase
Motoring Pleasure.

BIZ NEA Service
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 10.-Cali-
fornia has decided to take drastic
action to make motoring safe and
pleasurable, by its passage OF per-
haps the most revolutionary set OF
auto laws in the country.
These are called the Breed laws,
and cover practically everything
in motoring from speeding up the
slow driver to preparing the way
for compulsory auto liability insur-
ance.
The legal speed limit is increased
from thirty-five to forty miles an
hour on the highways, while pen
alties for drunken and reckless
drivers are made swifter and
harsher.
BY adding another cent tax on
gasoline, making the rate cents a
gallon, the State expects to apply
the additional revenue of 10000
900 yearly to the construction and
maintenance of perhaps the finest
highway system in America.
