DETROII, June 22.-Indications
that Chevrolet production will
reach, if not pass, the million mark
this year we're seen here today, fol-
lowing announcement by the Chew
rolet Motor Company that produc-
ton for the first five months totalled
494, 953 units.
This is a 60 per cent increase over
the corresponding period of last year
and testifies to the phenomenal de-
mand that has kept Chevrolet fac
tories constantly at capacity since
early in the year.
Since January, Chevrolet has
bowled over productions records
each month, reaching new. all
time monthly mark in May with an
pared with the record 74,6l7 units
set in May last year.
In an effort to keep pace with the
demand, Chevrolet factories are
averaging more than 5000 units a
day, working on the heaviest sched-
ule ever undertaken by a manufac-
turer of gear shift cars.

JORDAN NAMES VITAL
MOTOR SALES Factors
Declares Performance, Appearance,
Comfort Determine Popularity.

Just three vital factors will in
fuence the sale of all motor cars
in the future, according to Edward
S. Jordan, president of Jordan Mo-
tor Car Company.
First, startling performance, which
means the ability to get away from
ninety-nine out of every 100 cars
in the traffic; power to pass them
on the hill, and the ability to do
seventy or better on the open road.
! Second, custom appearance, which
meets the increasing demand for
cars that stand out from the mass,
in design as we'll as in color.
Third, comfort, which includes ease
of handling, convenience, small size
for parking, plus body and springs,
which give riding ease over any
road.

Tail Light
BY sWEDE SWANSON

A woman learning to drive in a
mid-weStern city loses control of the
car, jumps the sidewalk and kills
two children. Another novice at the
wheel runs into a store window,
causing considerable damage.
Yet nothing, according to present
traffic ordinances in most cities, can
be done about such accidents. The
drivers are exonerated. The deaths
and damages deplored.
Something should be done, how
ever. One suggestion is that no
new drivers be permitted in COM
gested districts where danger of &C
cident is great. Another is that the
automobile dealer who sells the new
car and is teaching the new motor
list to drive be held responsible
That would force him to find more
open streets for driving lessons. If,
by municipal ordinance, the new
driver was barred from congested
districts, or forced to take his driv-
ing lessons in large open field or
on special track, there would be
fewer accidents and less grief. Keep
ing on the alert for the reckless
drivers. who consider themselves
good, is bad enough.

In line with the demand which is

than we're received for June a year
ago. This is true in both the do

garded as a food in the sense that
it spares carbohydrates, fats and
teiins.
2. That it has prompt stimulating
action on the central nervous sys-
tenn, nto in any sense an actual di-
rect stimulation such as follows TAX
ing of caffein, but an inhibition OF
restraint. For all precise mental
operations, as typewriting, typeset-
ting, as shooting, the use of alcohol
is detrimental. The value of the
drug is to produce relaxation.
8. The third fact about alcohol
generally accepted, was that in in
stances of fatigue and mental de-
preston, alcohol acted as a true
stimulant, in that certain faculties
of the mind, such as attention and
memory, were improved.
Moderate Dosage Discussed
In drawing a conclusion as to
what constitutes moderate dosage
of alcohol, Startling says that the
safest general statement would be
that any dose is immoderate which
diminishes mans efficiency and
his powers of performing his normal
avocations.
AS to the harmful effects of alco-
hol on the body, it is pointed out
that constant exposure of the
tissues to the action of alcohol leads
to a general impairment of their
vitality.
A chronic excess of alcohol pro-
duces definite nervous disorders and
a progressive deterioration of the
mental and moral qualities.
Effect of the alcohol in lowering
the vitality of the tissues dimin-
ishes the power of the individual
to resist infection. An occasional
debauch is not so harmful, accord
ing to Starting, as the continual
soaking of quantities of alcohol just
short of the degree necessary to pro-
duce evident intoxication.

Two Schools of Thought

The modifying order was signed
by Secretary Mellon and David H.
Blair, Internal Revenue Commits
sioner. 1t was concurred in by An
drews.
These two orders and the men
sponsoring them embody two
schools of thought in the Treasury
regarding government control of
the industrial alcohol industry. The
two views are irreconcilable, but as
long as that held by Mellon domin-
ates, there is little hope of pro-
hibition enforcement.
Secretary Mellon and Commits
sioner Blair take the position that
Nightmare business must not suffer
or be embarrassed by drastic regu-
lations. Extreme prohibitionists
and their representatives insist
that enforcement of the dry law is
the paramount consideration.
Because of his radical attitude,
Commissioner Haynes repeatedly
clashed with Commissioner Blair.
Blairs attitude was that of the
politico- business man, Haynes that
of the fanatic.
Mellon Plays Solomon
The same controversy ragged be-
tween Andrews and Blair when the
former took Office, even though An
drews' view was more moderate
than Haynes. He did not adopt
the Haynes attitude, but he did in
sist that enforcement would be i'm
possible unless he were given COM
,plete and absolute Jurisdiction over
the industrial alcohol problem. Blair
demanded that the control remain
in the International Revenue
Bureau, where it always had been.
The dispute was laid before Sec
rotary Mellon. He proved a verit-
able Solomon; he supported An
drews' claim to jurisdiction, but
continued to adhere to the Blair
view of business first"
The dilemma will continue as
long as prohibition remains law, no
matter who administers 1t.

Clifford Pinchot, then governor OF
Pennsylvania, was the bad boy who
blew the lid off the industrial alco-
Ilol situation.
Speaking at the "crisis conven-
ton" of the Anti-Saloon League al
Chicago, Pinchot charged that the
government had failed to use its
most formidable weapon.
The control of the alcohol permit
system, he declared, was the first
line of defense against this particu-
lar form of violation, which was OF
tremendous proportions. The fail
ure to adopt it, he charged, was due
to the influence of Republican poll
'ticians in Secretary Melons home
city of Pittsburgh and his home
State of Pennsylvania, where most
of the alcohol plants were located
Mellon Acts Promptly
? Pinchot further declared that
many Pennsylvania alcohol COM
ypanies controlled by men known to
have violated the law still were re-
;tceiving permits to manufacture and
4 sell alcohol
, Though Secretary Mellon scoffed
at his rivals charges, the admins
tration acted Immediately. Pinchots
address was made on Nov. 9. On
Nov. 10, a sweeping Treasury order
revoked all alcohol permits as of
Dec. 81, 1925, and required that
holders thereafter should renew
them annually and at the discretion
of the Treasury.
This was the weapon to which
Pinchot had referred. It provided
a complete check-up on every man.

But on the following day this or
der was modified so that, as pro-
hibition weapon, it lost all its edge.
1t was made applicable in its
amended form only to alcohol
plants, bonded warehouses and de-
maturing concerns.
