BANK SEES TURN
IN AUTO TRADE
Cleveland Trust Says 1880
Output Will Be Kept Close
to Retail Demands.
Special pispatch to The Star.

CLEVELAND, December %. - I'M
proved sentiment has appeared in the
automobile industry and present indi-
cations are that the trade is beginning
to turn the corner toward moderate
improvement, says the Union Trust Co.
THE industry is now looking forward
to the January motor Shows, says the
bank Meanwhile orders for steel,
parts and other materials are showing
some increase. The rate of improve
ment will depend upon developments in
the trade in the coming year. It does
not appear likely that the situation will
justify an immediate upswing to high
peaks of production"
The bank estimates the replacement
demand for cars and trucks in the
United States and Canada during 1890
at 100000 units and total output at
somewhat, though not greatly, below
100000 units, as against approximate
ly 100000 produced in 1929.
Ready to Increase Schedules.
Most automobile companies" says
the bank, ARE planning their schedules
for the resumption of operations on a
gradually increasing scale early in 1880.
The majority are not expecting to reach
year, although one large company is re-
ported to be preparing for a substan-
TALLY larger output.
THE coming motor shows are ex-
pected to give an indication of the
trend of demand for next year. No
dramatic changes in design and engi-
neering are known to be in the max
ing, but some interesting developments
are indicated.

partly from reduced sales abroad and
partly from the growing tendency on
the part of American producers to ac-
quire production facilities in foreign
countries. The first factor came about
partly as result of the high money
rates in this country, which caused a
virtual drying up of loans. to Europe,
thus affecting the purchasing power of
foreign borrowers and buyers.
THE building of plants abroad by
American automobile manufacturers
may be expected to have some influence
upon exports from this country. How
ever, this may not be as great as ex-
pected by scme, because of the fact
that many of the foreign plants are
merely assembling plants and the vari-

Shaw Shows Skill
In Obtaining Taxi
Without Long Wait
Leaves Theater w hen Cur.
tain Falls and Beats
Crowd to Street.

LONDON, December % (NANA).-
There are many different methods Of
getting taxi. Sometimes, when things
are slack, you merely have to whistle,
or, better still, get the hotel doorman
to whistle for you At other less fortu-
nate times, especially during the theater
rush hour, which begins about IL pm,
you may whistle or tip in vain.
Not, however, If you are Mr.. Bernard
Shaw, who is probably the most expert
man in London at the art of getting a
taxi during the busiest periods. When
he happens to be at a theater he is out
of his seat in a flash directly the cur
tain falls and running onto the pave
ment before any one else has had time
to put on his hat. BY the time the
rest of the audience reaches the street
he is triumphantly seated in his taxi,
or, more probably, halfway home.
Sir James Barrie is different-he
would be. He hates crowds and is too
small to push his way through them
with any great success anyway. Re-
Gently, after he had been fulfilling a
public engagement in Glasgow, he
slipped out through private door of
Kelvin Hall and walked away Nobody
saw him go, but he walked through
many back streets before he considered
himself safe"
Then, when he felt he had walked
enough. he went into an undertaker's
shop and asked the man there if he
could get him taxi.

been little argument raised against the
form Of merger accredited to the New
England territory. He favors one In
stead OF two systems there. Aside from
the tying up of the Seaboard Air Line
with the Wabash, practically all of the
suggestions affecting the South and
Southwest are reasonable, though there
undoubtedly will be a conflict should
the Florida East Coast be taken from
the Atlantic Coast Line.
The Atchison management has always
insisted that it would not accept from
any commission such weak lines as
might be assigned to it. Its feelings in
this respect have not been injured By
the apportionment to it of the Chicago
Great Western, which is a much strong
er property today than when general
consultations were first proposed.
Meanwhile, the AtchiSon has absorbed
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient.
which for a long time it snubbed. The
Southern Pacific is left in its present
state. The only change in New York
CentraPs status Is in relation to the
Virginia Railway, which it is to acquire,
ana In giving up to the Baltimore &
ONO its portion OF the joint control of
these two reads in the Reading-Jersey
Central alliance. Curiously enough, it
IS to the Baltimore & Ohio and Nickel
Plate, which have figured most prorni-
nently before the Interstate Commerce
Commission In consolidation disputes in
the last two years, that this body has
SHOWN the greatest sympathy, and has
been most generous in granting their
claim to alien properties.
Commissioners Urge Changes.
The confused character of the COM
missions plan Is emphasized by the
attitude Of several of the concurrinp
members both toward consultations of
railroads in general and to those which
they have admitted into the 10 diff
1erent groups. In other words, after
rendering their decision the commits
sloners tear it apart. Commissioner
Eastman devotes Is pages Of the re-
port to a discussion Of the ways in
which the ofhcial plan might be i'm
proved. He Is not enthusiastic over
concentrations as such, citing the cases
OF the Frisco and Rock Island, the old
Gould lines and the New Haven under
the Mellon regime as illustrations of
the evil results Of it. There is much
doubt in the minds Of the commission
Whether mergers of the Erie and Nickel
PIate, the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific and the Norfolk g. Western
ana Pennsylvania can stand the test Of
either the Clayton act or the Sherman
antitrust act. In this same category
Is placed the stock control which the
New York Central and the Baltimore
d Ohio jointly exercise over the
Reading.
In view of all of the contradictory
alignments recommended and the on
cial attitude toward what is now pro-
posed and what has been tacitly &C
cepted as legitimate, it is not strange
that the market for railroad stocks this
week should have moved uncertainty
and that no conspicuous enthusiasm
Tor them should have been aroused
from the publication of an eight-yeaI
delayed plan.

D. c.. Naval Reserve

Four enlisted men Of the 1st Bat
talon, District Naval Reserves, have
announced their intention Of seeking
appointment to the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis by filing formal
applications to take the coming exami-
nation. Each year the law permits a
hundred of such enlisted men from the
Naval Reserve of the country to be APP
pointed, but so far the quota has never
been filled. Those who successfully
pass the examination, therefore, have
an excellent chance of receiving one of
the coveted appointments.
Recently the Navy Department called
attention to the fact that not all of the
vacancies we're filled, and sought the
aid of naval district commanders in OBJ
tanning sufficient men, as it is the de-
sire Of the naval authorities to keep the
classes at the academy as full as pos
sible, especially in view Of the fact that
the number Of congressional appoint
ments has been reduced.

cations are Arthur Nicholas Thomas,

TEXAS BORDER PATROL
Is HELD SlMPLIFIED
Problem of Checking Liquor Flow
There Declared Easier Than
in North.
By the Associated Press.

FORT WORTH, Tex, December %.
The problem OF enforcing prohibl-
ton along the Mexican border, accord
Ing to @. A. Hammons, assistant pro-
htbition administrator in this district,
Is not nearly as difficult as it is along
the Canadian border.
Conditions of entry into the country
along the Rio Grande are not similar
to those along the Canadian border.
A person coming from Canada NAV
enter at any port along the border,
provided he reports his entrance at the
nearest port. The new plan proposed
by the Treasury Department would pre-
vent entry into the country except at
designated ports.
The latter system already is in effect
along the Texas border and has been
for many years, Hammons said. There
are only six ports of entry from Ell
Paso to Brownsville, a distance of sp-
proximately 700 miles, and entry may
lawfully be made only at those places.
The border patrol has authority TO ar
rest any person seen attempting to
cross the border at any place EXCEPT
those designated. The system simpii-
fies the work Of prohibition enforce
ment.
