The Once Over

One Of the big motor corporations is to equip its

product. When an automobiles wheels up to a SER
vice station or garage next season the attendant will
not know whether It's to be an order for a quart Of
oil and five gallons Of gas or a new bulb and a yard
OF copper wire.
When you see a man in his shirt sleeves working
whit his tool-kit on a car pulled over to one side Of
the road it will be no sure sign anything is wrong
with the car. He may be trying to fix the radio set.

In the Stock Market
(BY Thomson & McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-One of the
most encouraging phases of the
campaign to prevent other than a
moderate recession in commercial
activity is probably contained in the
trade review covering the steel in
dustry, the accepted barometer Of
trade conditions generally. Resump-
ton of buying by the automobile
industry and the railroads has
served to arrest the downward trend
in production and already signs are
multiplying that the business curve
is beginning to turn upward. The
constant stream of increased and
extra dividends which are becom-
ing almost a daily occurrence is an
other indication of how business
executives view the future. The adj
ministration's plans for the main
flamenco of normal conditions are
undoubtedly far reaching and as
these continue to unfold we look
for a quick return of complete con-
f1dence both up on the part Of in
dustry and the security markets.
