nature Of the community does not
change the nature Of the market can
not change. Obviously, markets In
many parts Of the country have been
fairly we'll filled in the first seven
months of the year, and the remaining
untitled portion is not large enough to
absorb cars at the same rate or volume
during the remaining months OF the
year. However, a period Of dizziness
seems in many cases to allow purchas-
ing power to accumulate and the ex-
tended market to recuperate its vigor
with the result that the market recov-
cry is usually noticeable in a sharp up
turn during the Autumn months.
Seasonal Trend.
II, however, this should actually oc-
cur, the seasonal influence alone would
hold sales well below the Spring peak,
for weather and the diminished market
never permit the Fall peak to reach the
high levels of the early season buying
rush. This means that other than nor
NAL Stimulations are necessary to keep
the industry from showing steady and
rapid decline from this time to the end
of the year.
However, an influence which may
materially aid the situation gives evil
OSIlCe Oh IedCnluS HlpOTtdHI pIOpOI-
tions. That influence is the agricul-
tural situation, which promises to exert
the most important upward pressure on
the market this year than in several
years past.
The wheat market is attracting a
more intense interest at present for the
reason that combined economic and
legislative efforts, together with q rec
ord crop, will bring prosperity to the
farm sections that will be unsurpassed
since the war period.
Not only will this situation release a
flood of buying power In the agricul-
tural districts, but its effect will be
favorably felt in some Of the more i'm
portant industrial areas as well. In all
probability the northern section of the
Mississippi Valley will go into the Win
ter in the strongest condition Is has
known for nearly a decade.
The result Of this condition will I'M
doubleday be reflected by increased au-
tomobile sales in the areas most vitality
affected, and it is important to note
that these areas provide one Of the best
outlets for automotive producers in the
country.
If this situation develops as Is ex.
pected, 1t will be boon to the industry
for sales will be Steadied beyond the
usual seasonal level, and any decline
In production and sales volume will be
far less precipitouS than under ordinary
conditions.

BOULEVARD BRIDGE
SOON TO BE REPLACED
Span Between st. Denis and Hale
thorp2 Worst Hazard" Between
d. 9. and Baltimore.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, August 24.-Following
conference this week with officials of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. the
roads commission announced that the
bridge on the Washington boulevard
between st. Denis and Halethorpe
would be replaced this year.
The present bridge is Is feet wide
and Is curved in an IS" shape, Great
ing what engineers have termed the
worst hazard on the entire roadway
between Baltimore and the National
Capital. The new bridge will be
straight and will be 40 feet wide, like
the rest of the roadway, which is now
being widened.
According to members of the COM
mission, the work will be carried on
out of the special gasoline tax levied
for Embarrassing examinations. Under
the agreement between the railroad and
the commission, the company will pay
one-half of the cost.
Records Of the State police show that
during the past few years, with the
ever-increasing trafic on the boule-
ward, there have been a series Of serious
accidents and many long trafic tie-ups
at the bridge. Several months ago
traffic was delayed for more than one
hour when large motor bus skidded
and became jammed crosswise of the
bridge.
On several occasions traffic has been
detoured from the boulevard when ma
chimes became entangled through COLI
lisions in the middle of the rs" turn.
The sharp curves of the bridge are ap-
preached at each end by q steep grade,
which also adds to the danger.

judges and kings-especially during
their public moments. They both occu-
py thrones; they both wear regal, or
semi-regal robes; and they both are
surrounded by subjects and attendants
who hasten to carry into execution their
every bidding.
There has always been q certain
amount of complaint on the part of
various people to the effect that judges
do not act human enough. This is a
great mistake on the part of the people
who think this, am sure. 1t has
always been my impression that judg IS
are very human and lovable beneath
their invariably austere public manner.
1t only needs little musical ability on
the part of the defendant to bring these

AUTO PURCHASING

coed Industrial Sections in
Buying Ability.

Through the gradual development Of
certain important economic forces dur
ing the past few months, the auto
motive situation in the United States
begins to assume an aspect which,
though entirely different from that
Of the earlier season, was not abSo-
lutely unforeseen, according to B. H.
Cram, president Of Grams Automotive
Reports, Inc.
This condition is the appearance of a
gradual shift In the bulk OF national
purchasing power from the automotive
standpoint from the industrial to the
agricultural districts.
Since the first of the year the buying
demands of these two sections have
not been closely aligned. although it is
not possible to say that either enc or
the other has advanced or been re-
tarded disproportionately. 1t is merely
evident that the former has been sub
ject to certain stimulations that have
lifted it above its generally conceded
normal level.
Influencing Factors.
This has been the result of certain
factors that are now history. Heavy
activity in steel with its effect on off,
shoot industries, the generally high
level of foreign trade, activity and
prosperity of those connected with the
stock market, and the flourishing Of
those industries catering to both pro-
ductive and consumer markets have &C.
cumulated mobile wealth in industrial
centers to an extent where the auto
mobile industry haG been able to reach
new levels of record achievement as far
aS sales and production are concerned.
There is no immediate indication that
the industrial market has materially
changed in either nature or underlying

a word OF 1t. You might also tell hirr
that even II 1t was so you would like
him just as we'll.
II you follow the foregoing advice
faithfully, you will no doubt be sur
prised at the results you will achieve.

But in closing, there Is Just one more
thing I feel that you should know. It
is this:
There will be certain persons in the
courtroom who are known as bailiffs.
The favorite indoor sport Of these same
bailiffs IS to try and act as near like
they think judges should act, as they
can. They are always trying to sup
press any original or spontaneous ac-
tons on the part Of every one in the
to go behind the bench to talk to the
judge one Of these same bailiffs will
try 10 stop you. But it is when YOU
start to unlimber your portable phono-
graph that they will blow I'D" entirely,

them. however, because any successful
interference on their part would tend
TO render null and void your entire

There is yet another type of court
employe I feel you should be warned
about. refer to the so-called public
prosecutor" He will, no doubt. be
somewhere in the near vicinity when
your case is called. He usually tries,
through some misguided idea of earning
his salary, to butt into your case.
It is right at this point that you must
be very firm. You want to announce to
him then and there, and in a very de-
termtned manner, that you consider it
absolutely none of his business Tell
him that you consider 1t a matter that
solely concerns the judge, yourself and
the policeman involved.
At about this point the bailiR may
become troublesome again. Then Is
when you want to give him good er-
nest kick in the shins. From that
point on your troubles will all be over.

buying ability. However, it is becom-
ing more apparent that certain degree
of reaction is not only inevitable, but
at the same time to be desired. Forcing
a market is never a good thing from
an economic standpoint and judging
from the automotive sales volume in
certain territories the market is dan
gerously near to being forced. A brief
respite in those territories will, accord
1ngly, be a good thing ultimately all
though any cessation of sales volume
will hardly be appreciated by the auto
mobile industry whose hope Of prosper
ity is based on an increasing or at least
invariable volume of business.
Over a given period of time there is
in any community a definite market

WORD OF WARNING GIVEN
U. S. TOURISTS IN CANADA
Foreign Travel Division of A. A. A.
Advises Care in Plans to
Establish Citizenship.

While American motor tourists will
experience little difnculty in meeting
the requirements for crossing the Cana
dian border and touring in Canada, the
foreign travel division Of the American
Automobile Association declared today
that they should be prepared to SUBJ
stantlace their claims to citizenship.
The statement by the national motor
ing body was prompted by the number
OF inquiries pouring into A. A. A. motor
clubs regarding entry requirements at
the border as well as my the steady
gain In the number of motorists VISIT
ing the Dominion.
The A. A. A. pointed out that owing
TO the large number of cars crossing
the border, the Treasury does not re-
quire customs officers to register the
automobiles. and usually state license
cards are accepted as identification upon
the return to the United States.

AUTO TIME SALES LESS.
Change Partly Due to stricter
Financial Terms.

More careful investigation Of credit
risks, StIicter financial terms, and the
lower prices of cars are reducing the
percentage of cars sold on time pay
ments, says the American Automobile
Association.
The national motoring body pointed
out that So per cent of the new cars
sold In 1928 were on the time-payment
plan, as compared with 68.2 per cent
In 1925. In this connection the A. A. A.
said that 60.8 per cent of used cars
sold in 1928 were on the installment
basis, while 62.8 per cent were sold on
this basis in 1925.

ABOUT VALENTINES.

St Valentines Day is in honor of the Bishop of Rome who was executed February IA A. D., 270 lie had incurred the enmity of the Roman En,neror on account of the success of his efforts in converting pagan Romans to Christianity Val ontine was first beaten with clubs and then be- headed He was created a Saint and the date of his death designated as festival The asso- ciatienSof the festival of S Valentine with love messages, or valentine probably came from the proximity of the date to that Of the old Roman festival of Lupercala that became cele- bration of the beginning of spring Naturally, followed thoughts of love. Long before the time of St Valentine it had been custom in Rome to put the names of all the virgins of the city in a box and the young would draw there from the name of the maiden that would be his partner for the Bupercalia feast. A maid would reccenize her partner from the resemblance of the insignia he wore to the anonymous love message she had receiyed With the merger of the Lupercaia feast which occurred February F, the beginning of the Italian spring, with the feast of St. Val entine's Day. the custom of choosing partners was retained and the anonymous communications be- came valentines and the escort of the maid was her valentine Valentine. the Bishop was so famous for his love and charity that it was easy to associate him with the finer interpreta- tons of love
 The custom of sending valentines was early transpIated in Eneiand from Rome and from there it came to America. It is a world wide observance with Christians and those who asso- ciate with them

Tex Rickard, Romanticist.
(New York World.)

certain air of mystery hung about Tex Richards youth He credited with having engaged all sorts of gaudy occupations from ow-punching in Texas to faro-deaing in Alaska. But whatever he was in his youth was as naught to what he became in the year 1908 when he brought Cans and Nelson together. His perform ance then a sure taste of what was coming later For he took two lightweights, of them past his prime and the other indifferent fighter at best. and he made their meeting seem like an epic struggle duel to the death between brute force as exemplified by the Dane, and exquisite skill. exemplifed by the Negro. The fhing caught he imagination of the country; the cruel grind that Cans had to go through to make the weight, 133 pounds ringside; the batter ing that awaited him when he entered the ring; the slim grace of his body compared with the other mans rugged strength--all these things took on the proportions of terrible tragedy And it with a feeling of relief that learned the next morning that he had by foul in the forty-second round. It was no decision at all of course, but it seemed on the whole the most merciful way cut.
 What did Rickard do to this fight that ele- yated il to such heights? He merely worked on it the same magic doubt, that he had worked as young his own mysterious person; he contrived to make it seem excessively romantic. That is, he contriyed to make it seem more than prizetght. And that in one way or another is what he contrived to do with many of his later ventures. He had genius for making matches that carried with them this quality of Something -or-O Other-Thrilling-M -Magnif- cent vs Something Else -Strikingly-Signifcant The Jefries-J Johnson fight was White Supremacy vs the Rising Tide of Color; the Dempsey Willard fight was David Goliath; the Carpentier- Demp- Isey fight was Beauty the Beast-and so it went
 Was this all showmanship"? It was not. Tex did not exactly disdan money Where money was at issue he seems to have been hard to fool But surely he was not unique in that especially among the prize-fght gentry. The truth is that he was romantic fellow. sharp-deaing or not. and that he made all his dongs seem romantic to the rest of us Now that he is gone it is question what boxing will become It is the fashion to say that athletic commissions and such things have brought 1t out of the shadows into responsibility but this is by no means proved. Tex Richards death may affect the American scene more than many of us at the moment realize.

ALAsKA's PERMANENT POPULATION.

The circumstance that 70 per cent. of nearly 4,000 pupils attending the white public schools in Alaska natives of the Territory is one that tells lot about Alaska. It might be said to indi- cate too little immigration to the Territory yet on the other hand, the Alaska School Bule- tin says.
 These figures offer rather convincing
 proof that Alaska has passed the pio-
 neering stage of her development and
 that the Territory is country of
 homes and firesides
 The force of the figures is emphasized by the fact that there been constant increase i'll enrolment and attendance in the public schools. The percentage of native born school children has increased from 5l per cent. in less than ten years, and it is due 10 an increase of the num- Der that born in the Territory Contrary to belief hat exists in many quarters, Alaska has a very substantial permanent white popula- ton.
