be so revealed on November S.
Davis carried it four years ago

lot VALUES CUT
BY DUMPED
AUTOS

NEW YORK, Dec 29.Aban-
doned automobiles surreptitiously
dumped as worthless junk in vacant
lots are creating such a problem
for land owners and becoming such
an eyesore in various localities in
the Bronx that an energetic effort
is being made to have the city
adopt q plan for auto disposal, it
was announced by the Bronx Board
Of Trade.
The removal of battered tonneaus,
strewn wheels and shredded uphol-
stery lays an expense of 500 TO
$500 on purchasers of lots in such
"auto graveyards." according to the
statement of the Board of Trade.
One auto pushed at night into a
vacant lot attracts other derelicts
like a compelling magnet. Some,
fields have been so long used for
the purpose that the earlier auto
bodies are half buried in the
ground.
Among the plans suggested are
the maintenance of smelling plant
similar to the one operated by the
CITY OF Cleveland, OF the ADMISSION
of automobiles to the classification
of refuse which may be taken ont
in city scows and dumped at sea.
A small fee for his service might be
collected, it is suggested.
According to officials OF the
Board of Trade the principal tron-
BILE now is that the city will not
accept autos at it's dumps and the
owners are driven TO the use Of
vacant lots.

BURLINGTON, VT. Dec. 20 IN.
Sg.-A 100, ,000-acre tract of forest
LAND, situated among the higher
peaks of the Green Mountains in
this State, will be set aside by the
Federal Government as natlonal
forest preservation. according to
announcement by Senator Henry
w. Keyes, of New Hampshire,
member of the 376 ,000.acre tract
charted out as the Green Noun
tain Purchase Unit"
This action followed the acaaisi-
lion of some $4,000 acres compris-
ing the so-called Wateryille tract
of the White Mountain National
Forest in New Hampshire.
|. In Four Counties
The section to be acquired is
located where the four counties OF
Windsor, Windhan, Bennington and
Rutland meet. The purchase was
made possible under the Weeks act,
which was sponsored by the former
Massachusetts Senator, under which
the Federal Government is enabled
to protect the watersheds Of navi-
gable rivers. The streams having
their sources in these forests feed
the Hudson and Connecticut rivers.
At the recent four New England
conference at, Portland, Me, the
Vermont delegation passed a reso-
luton urging the establishments Of
a Federal forest purchase unit in
Vermont.

In Connecticut the policy Of ex-
pansion for the State forest and
park system has been continued
with the acquisition of 100 addi-
tional acres for the Sleeping Giant

This will increase the acreage
in this State. making it the fourth

There is successful way to
build a business and recent sur
veys show that the best and
surest way to start paving
enterprize is to locate it where it
will be most convenient to the
customers you want to serve.
A certain type bank. for ex-
ample. insists upon locating on
the west side of the street, espe-
cially near residence districts
where women depositors coming
downtown from the north TO do
their shopping may stop their
cars without turning around or
bothering to walk across the
street.
1t Is Just such apparently
negligible details as these that
the merchant should study. Wares,
to be sold. must be placed where
the public can see them with the
least possible effort. A mere
matter of the shaded side of the

feet values. Certain blocks are
identified as ideal locations for
