DECLINE IN AUTO
OUTPUT IS NOTED
Holiday Blamed for Cut OF
Approximately 20 Per Cent
in Weekly Schedules.

Automobile output for the first week
In July was considerably lower than
that of the week previous as a result
of the Wednesday holiday, which re-
duced the weeks activity by one fun
working day and cut normal schedules
by approximately 20 per cent, accord
ing to B. H. Cram, president of Grams
Automotive Reports, Inc, industry au-
thority.
Production for the current period Is
the lowest that it has been at any time
during the past four months. The loss
of this day together with the regular
seasonal decline which continues to
make itself evident. will probably make
the month of July the bottom point in
the downward curve which started a
few weeks ago. The operations OF
many of the heavy producers will be
materially stepped up toward the last
of the month as production Is begun
on a mass scale on the new models
scheduled for introduction in August
July may be considered, especially
this year. as a period of preparation
for the transition in the industry be-
tween Spring and Fall selling seasons,
and accordingly may be expected to be
a period of intense activity within many
of the factories. Tool and die divi-
sions will work in double shifts. while
the taking of inventory will be accom-
panied by Encouragement of machinery.
Assembly operations will be slow, but
will pick UP momentum as the month
draws to a close.
With the possibility of many inter-
esting announcements of new models
in the near future. it Is only natural
that a certain degree OF hesitation
should make itself apparent in the re-
tail market. Sales In most of the met
ropolitan areas have dropped off rather
sharply during the past two weeks.
However. in certain localities where in
terest and purchasing power are gov
erned by strictly sectional conditions
there Is still healthy demand, espe-
cially for low-priced models. 1t Is an
ticipated that q strong market for me-
dunn priced models will open up within
the next 80 days.

II found that In practically
every city visited it was GUS
tomary for the traffic making
left-hand turn to do so on either
the yellow or green light. In no
instance, however, did I find the
plan which Is In vogue In Wash
ington, which seems to me un-
necessarily hampers and slows up
traffic.
From my observations, I could
not see that the custom In use
In the cities through which I
travelled caused any traffic delays

Il believe the best plan of con-

was In those cities where the turn
was made on the yellow light, and

1t was found that 206.53 unprotected

opportunity to do SO without in

II have been very much graft
fed to note the recent change
made by your department in the
handling of traffic making a left

some of the congestion at inter-

Mr.. Blackwell is candidate for County Attorney of Sheri-
dan county, Montana. This office requires a man of good
legal talent, honest and upright in all his dealings with
the public and he needs to be capable of handling the vari-
GUS legal matters of a county and when we remember that
Sheridan county is a corporation capitalized at 100000
10000, the public will get some idea as to what is necessary
in the office of county Attorney.
Other corporations of that size have the best legal tai
ent that can be obtained and should not a county do likewise?
The county requires an attorney that is capable of handling
county affairs without the necessity of calling in additional
counsel at great expense to the county to do the work for
which the County Attorney is elected and paid for, and if
Mr.. Blackwell should be elected, you will find that it will
not be necessary to spend large sums for additional counsel
for the county, as he is fully capable of handling all bust
ness of the county without assistance.
