.BIG SALES GAINS.
BY HUPP

A striking gain in domestic, Can
adian, and export sales in January
is noted in a statement made public
today by r. S. Cole. vice president
in charge OF sales of the Hupp
Motor Car Corporation. January's
sales, according to the statement.
totaled 1857 cars, as compared with
3,618 in the corresponding month Of
1928, reflecting an increase in the
popularity which has greeted the
new model Houpmobiles during the
national automobile shows.
This January sales gain is even
more remarkable" according to Mr..
Cole, "when one remembers that
the new Hupmobile Eight was intro
duced in. January of 1928, and that
the new six-cylinder Hupmobile had
then been on the market less than
four months. Our January gain Of
2 per cent is thus more emphatic
when related to these facts.
Export sales, both in Canada and
overseas, reflected domestic popu-
Iarity in January, according to Mr..
Cole. Canadian business increased
56 per cent during the month as
compared with January of 1928. The
mouth just closed thus becomes the
greatest January in the history of
the company's Canadian business.
Abroad, where Hupmobile showed
a sales gain of 126 per cent in 1928
over the preceding year. January of
1929 showed an increase Of 46 per
cent over the corresponding month
of last year. There were 55S Hup.
mobiles exported during the month
just closed, according to the state
ment.
with every phase of HupmobiIe
business reporting a phenomenal in
crease, during January" declares
Mr.. Cole. I'VE believe We have got.
ten off to a fine start to surpass
the splendid record of 1928 when
Hupp sales exceeded those of the
previous year by so per cent"

BY PRECISION

"There used to be time" says
S. G. Bates, chief engineer Of tns
Hudson Motor Car Company, when
folks ascribed certain mechanical
superiority to high-priced cars Of
European manufacture and justified
the opinion by referring to oldworld
precision standards that were more
exacting than the standards in use
in American automobile plants.
L The fact is that we of Hudson,
observe rather unusual precision
standards. which are perhaps best
exemplified by citing the standards
which we observe in building the
Essex. The paper on which the
average newspaper is printed il
about $1,000 inch thick. Thinnest
tissue paper. such as the finest
cigarette paper, measures about
1900 inch in thickness. Now with
the Essex we have 139 operations
in which the absolutely insisted
upon accuracy standard is just half
of I-10OO inch. And there are quite
a number of operations, such, Tor
instance, as pertain to the crank.
shaft. where the accuracy must be
as great as a quarter Of 1900
inch Another 500 operations call
for a tolerance of 1-1000. inch, $40
demand no more than $1,000 incn,
and so on, the coarsest tolerance,
limited to only 195 operations, be.
ing $1,000 inch.
ITO many persons such close
standards, equaling and not few
instances surprising best hish.price
car standards in vogue in Europe,
may see unusual when applied to
the lower-priced Essex. But it -
also true that our quantity produc-
ton is the one thing that makes
adherence to so rigid an accuracy
code possible.

The general opin- ion is that to name third ticket would split the vote Hoover re- ceived and Democrats believe this would assure a Democratic victory There is a conviction in Democratic circles that the leaders of the anti Smith group cannot throw any large support to the Republicans this year
 The normal Democratic majority is about 50,000, but last year Hoo- yer got 165,000 and Smith Al ,000 Democrats contend that number of Democrats who were not affili- ated with the anti-Smith group voted against Smith last year.

By FRANK II. FULLER GA. P. Correspondent

RICHMOND, Va, June 3.-Vir- ginia, still bearing scars of the political battle of 1928 that saw her break with the Democratic Solid South" is experiencing one of the most spirited political years in her long history.
 Already listening to the roar of Democratic oratory in the primary campaign, Virginians are antici- pating another, and probably a more interesting campaign between Democrats and Republicans in the fall.
 Virginia is the first southern state to hold a state election among the five from the solid south" that cast their votes in the Republican column last November.
 The Republicans will make de- termined effort to wrest state con- trol from the Democratic party-a control the Democrats have exer- cised since their return to power after reconstruction. The Demo- crats are confident of holding their ground, undismayed by the Re- publican victory for the national ticket.
 A third political group, conceded by all to have exercised tremen- dous influence in the 1928 election. has maintained it's eXistence-the anti-Smith Democrats. They will hold a state convention in Roanoke, June Is, to nominate, If deemed proper" a ticket for the election in the fall.
 The Republican Party, stronger in Virginia than in most southern states, expects to enlist a large number of votes from the anti Smith group.
 Return of the anti-Smith Demo- crats to the Democratic fold was made easy through an opinion ob- talned by the Democratic ExecutlVe Committee from the attorney gen. eral. The attorney general held that the primary laws requiring the voter to have supported Democratic nominees in the previous election applied only to those nominated by direct primary, and since presi- dential electors were chosen by convention, those who failed to support the Democratic National ticket were eligible to participate in the state primary this year.
 Three gubernatorial candidates now are stumping Virginia in the Democratic primary, discussing is sues of state interest. The candi-

 RESIGN OFFICE
 BY TOMORROW
Believed Premier Will Re- fuse to Remain in Office
 and Face Parliament

LONDON, June 3.-Although it is stated in authoritative quarters that Premier Stanley Baldwin will not announce what course of action he will take immediately, the impress sion prevails that he will resign at once.
 It is believed that the Premier's resignation will be handed to the King tomorrow if he has definitely decided not to face Parliament June 25 when it will meet again.
 It is believed that the King will accept the resignation if he re- ceives it and that he will, before Parliament convenes, ask Ramsay Macdonald. the Labor Leader, to form Cabinet. In the meantime there will probably be conferences between the Labor Party and Lib eral leaders.
