PRODUCT Of

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 15.-Pro.
duction of cars and trucks in the
80 called $500 class" amounted to
1,374.929 units in the first seven
months Of 1928. This compared
with 1.1S5,195 units for the same
period of 1927, q gain of about 10
per cent in production, according
to B. H. Cram. president Of Grams
Aptomotive Reports, Inc, industry
authority.
In January, Ford produced only
per cent of the cars and trucks
In the low.priced group. AS the
year advanced, however, 1t ac-
counted for a larger percentage OF
the total each month. Some idea
Of how Ford became an increasingly
important factor in the industry,
particularly in this group, may be
had by considering the steady
gra with of its percentage of the
cars produced in the low-priced
group each month.
In February, Ford accounted for
12.5 per cent OF the total; in March,
172 per cent; April, 81 per cent;
May, 21 per cent; June, rs per
cent. and July, 80 pc cent.
At the same time, while the total
number of cars. produced each
month showed an increase over the
previous month, except in July.
the total number of $500 class cars
produced by Chevrolet dropped
gradually.
In January, Chevrolet produced
70 per cent of the cars in this
class: in February, 73.S per cent;
March. 6S per cent; April, 63 per
cent; May, so per cent: June, SO per-
cent and July. 551a per cent. In
spite of its slowly diminishing
percentage of the total, Chevrolet
production increased month by
month except for July.
While the gains made by Ford
have been generally greater than
those made by Chevrolet, month
over month and for the first six
months. both in number of units
and in percentage, this is what
might be expected under the cir
cumstances. Chevrolet has been
through a steady sea
sonal gain over the high months of
its career. while Ford has been
picking itself out of the greatest
slump in production, the only real
slump, it has ever experienced.

ii the first rule of the game and the
basis Of the knacl in developing q

The first thing to do when the
country looks alarmingly strange
and the roads are leading to no
where, Is to mark clearly the place
where one Is lost. This is what
the motor camper should do if he
happens to stray off into the
woods and cannot find his way
back 10 the campsite.
The natural impulse under such
circumstances; III is said, is To start
driving desperately in some one
direction, or TO start running about,
MS IN the case of the man who is
lost while afoot. It the point where
one was originally lost is not
marked. one Is likely to run around
lii circles without realizing it, thus
wasting q lot OF good energy to
no purpose.
If the adventurer happens to be
in his car at the time he win be
wasting precious gasoline in addi-
tion to his own energy. That Is
one reason why ii IS frequently
advisable to step out or the car

However,. even & experienced sIIiV-
forissg sometimes do lose their way
and are forced to devote precious
hours IN getting back to spot
from whence they may continue
their journey.
Especially is this true when ex-
pIOfing new roads in those sections
of the country which are sparsely
inhabited, iii itself one OF the great
est delights in motoring. These
roads often lead to natures beauty
spots and In practically every case
they will reward the one who has
been adventurous enough to risk
them.

there are roads used perhaps only

less. IN case of getting lost on

Perhaps the most important
thing in keeping ones head when

should carry raisins, chocolate or

them at all times. Being lost isn't
half so bad when you're not hungry.

of Property Falls Through.

of Property Falls Through.
NEW YORK. July CP.--Newmont
Mining Co. relinquished its option on
the property of the United Verde Ex-
tension Mining Co. at Jerome and Glenn
enceau, sAriz., because of opposition OF
the extension stockholders to the terms
of the proposed sale, 1t was learned to-
day.
The option, which expired yesterday:
called for payment in 10000 shares OF
Newmont stock on the basis OF SITS a
share, rather than cash, the Extension
directors explaining that they believed
this would be preferable to stockholders
as the 'Newmont stock represents prop
erty holdings which have future spec
ulative value" The closing price Of New
mont stock on the New York Curb
Market yesterday was $i58.25.
Newmont offered to make the consid-
Grafton $40, SOC, 900 in cash. and on that
basis Extension officers agreed to extend
the option TO July ID, but this was re-
iected by the Extension directors.
