AUTO PRODUCTION
IS BEING RUSHED
Leading Firms Speed Up
0perations-Competition
Is Growing Keener.
BY J. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DiSpatcn 10 Inc Star.
NEW YORK. February 1.-The auto
mobile industry is already raising is
sights" Production estimates range all
the way from 100000 cars. the figure
set by Alfred Reeves, managing director
of the Automobile Chamber of Com
merce, to 100000. In fact, many pro-
ducers regard the first figure as con-
sentative as an 1899 bathing suit.
This feeling of optimism has been en-
couraged by the automobile shows
where more models were sold to the
man off the street" than in any pre-
vious year. Now that the season for the
shows is about over it is being con-
firmed by actual orders from dealers
There no longer seems doubt that the
first quarter will be the most active first
three months of the year ever known in
the industry
Despite the short month and the
Washington birthday holiday the Feb
ruary outturn viii probably exceed
100000 cars. Naturally much Of this
tremendous output will be represented
by the lower-priced units The leading
producer is speeding production in this
field to the utmost.
The next largest producer now has
something like 10000 men employed,
with 300 being added daily. 1t Is ex-
pected that output by March 1 will be
UP 20 per cent from todays figures.
The main plant is working six days a
week. with working schedules so ar
ranged as to provide f1ve-day week for
each worker
The third largest producer is forging
ahead close on the heels of the two
larger competitors. Production Of cars
in the low-price field by this organi-
cation is being rapidly raised toward
1000 daily.
The higher-priced models are not less
busy. although the number Of finished
machines they are turning out Is not
so impressive. They are selling high
priced models fast, however. There are
more new models in the ofing. It is
deemed likely that more types will be
introduced in the first six months of
this year than. in any other similar
period. All know that automobile
manufacturers cannot afford to stand
still. If they fall behind the procession
they are lost. If they can lead 1t they
can count on tremendous returns.

CENTRAL RESERVE BANK
SUGGESTED FOR EUROPE
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BERLIN, February 2.-Creation of a
European Central Reserve Bank, con-
forming with the Federal Reserve Bank
of the United States. Is advocated by
Leonard Keesing. former head of the
foreign department of Kuhn, Loeb e.
Co., as a foundation upon which to
build international understanding, good
will and peace.
Mr.. Keesing explained to the Asso-
ciated Press that central banks Of
participating gold countries would de-
post 10 per cent of their gold reserves
in the Central Reserve Bank and be
permitted to include their balances with
the bank in their own reserves. As
American banks now do, they would
also use the bank as discounting in
stitution for member banks only, each
member guaranteeing payment Of bills
so discounted by it at the gold parity
of the currency in which they are
expressed.
To avoid questions Of prestige. Mr..
Keesing would locate the Central Re-
serve Bank in a small country, such as
Holland. which he believes to be admir-
ably situated geographically and emf
nently suited technically.

0dd.Lot Business Gains.

NEW YORK, February Especially -
The heads of odd-lot houses on tho
stock exchanges. who do not deal di-
rectly with the public, but rather with
other Stock Exchange houses, say their
business has recorded a steady expan-
sion since mid-December and that the
volume now being transacted from day
to day is at just about the highest level
ever recorded. The outstanding feature
of this business is the heavy demand
for lots from Is shares down Of the
leading Stock Exchange securities. In
most cases these shares are taken di-
rectly from the market, transferred to
the name Of the new buyer and taken
out of circulation. Many Stock Ex-
change houses. too, report that their
odd-lot business is especially large at
this time.

squads east and west until the armistice:
The time spent under the tutelage of
Holy Cross priests and in the atmos-
phere of their missionary spirit led
young Rick to reconsider his career.
From the School of Engineering Rick
went to Holy Cross Seminary, thence to
Moreau Seminary at Notre Dame for
his scholasticate. In 1924 he received
his degree from the university and came
to Holy Cross College in Washington

Decision to Fly Prompted by
InaccessibiIity of

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

The worlds first flying missionary Is
ready to spread the gospel in remote
corners of the world. He is completing
! both his mission and his aviation train
ing in Washington. The name Of this
pioneer Christian soldier of the air.
plane era Is the Rev. Joseph NJ. Rick,
G. S. C. He is a native of Houston,
Tex, stands six feet and some odd
inches in his stockings, and weighs a
bit more than 200 pounds. Father Rick
went to the University of Notre Dame
as an, engineering student. But he
ended up as a candidate for the priest
hood and is now member of the Con-
gregation of the Holy Cross, which
founded and still conducts the big
Western college famed-with other
things-as the home grounds Of
Rockne's Fighting Irish" foot ball
team.
Father Rick was recently ordained
to the Roman Catholic priesthood and
has been training in mission science at
Holy Cross College, the Notre Dame unit
at the Catholic University of America.
The Holy Cross Congregation has charge
of the American mission known as the
Diocese of Dacca in Bengal, India
Father Rick has the foreign mission

particular field in which he is soon to
preach and fly.
Taking Flying Instructions.
During the past year, with the per-
mission of his SuperiorS, Father Rick
has been taking regular instruction in
flying, most Of which he obtained at
Hoover Field. He is on the eve of
making his first solo flight. Then he
may pin the wings Of the flyer next to
the cross of the missioner. The term
SKY pilot" can thenceforward be ap-
piled with full meaning to the priest
aviator.
Where aviation fits into the mission
scheme in India is better understood
when one knows something of Bengal.
Heretofore the missioner travelled afoot
or aboard the slow native boats.
Neither mode of travel was conducive
to health or to speed. jungle paths
serve as roads, that is, when not under
water During much of the year the
rivers of Swampy, fever infested Bengal
are over their banks and most of the
country. These conditions suggested
that a hydroplane would be more than
useful out there Father Rick agreed
with this theory and offered himself
as the personal equation IN the expert
ment.
Immediately there cropped up the
practical question of the wherewithal
for a plane. According to the rules Of

STATUS OF MIN0RITIES
is ASKED OF LEAGUE

Stresemann Advocates Placing of
Disputed Question Upon Agenda
of March Council.
BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, February 1.-THE league
secretariat has received a letter from
DR.. Gustav Stresemann, German foreign
minister, asking that the question of
the League of Nations guarantee for
protection of minorities be placed on
the agenda of the next meeting of the
council in March.
This is development of the
dispute between DR.. Stresemann and
August zaleski, the Polish foreign
minister, at Lugano, over the German
minorities in Polish, Upper Silesia, and
indicates that DR.. StreSemann Is de-
termined to have the whole problem of
minorities, numbering about 100000
in Europe, examined by the council.
Various minority people have been
complaining that their treaty guar
antees and linguistic, religious and
educational rights have been violated
by some countries.
