Dr. Clarence True Wilson we'll
says that it is highly unfortunate
that this woman was not permanent
ly segregated from the society to
which she is an enemy before she
had delivered six children to death
and four to still more miserable
life. Why should the people of a
state permit the breeding of feeble
minded, congenital criminals, pre-
destined delinquents and detectives?
II is merciful and just to segregate
the human sources of social misery
and crime. The right to live in So
ciety presupposes the duty of living
at peace with society
If the people of Michigan allow
the clamor of the bootleggers and
their supporters to deprive them
of law which is not only just, but
essential to the safety of their
homes, their wives and their chill
dren, they will show considerably
less common sense than we give
them credit for.

MOST OF 1929 MODELS
IN PYROXYLIN FINISH
Popularity Of Beiges, Browns and
Blues Carried Over Into
Auto Industry.

The automobile of 1929 as displayed
in this years show is particularly note
worthy because of the success with
which the engineers and artists of the
automotive industry have handled form,
line and color, according to Howard
Ketchum, Duco's color director. Stream
lines are more effective in their greater
implication of speed. Wind beads on
hood and cowl, V-shaped windshields,
new windshield tops, streamline Tenders,
low running boards and low centers of
gravity, proper curvature front and rear
to reduce wind resistance to mini
mum, contribute to the sweeping lines
of the ensemble. Mouldings, doors and
ornaments help to emphasize the effect
that wind tunnel might produce on
a plastic clay model of an automobile
Practically all the cars are in pyroxy-
lin finish With a wider use of this has
come from year to year Surer use of
color. Some of this years cars are
distinguished for the successful employ
ment of maroonS. It is interesting to
see that the popularity of beiges,
browns and blues in the textile and silk
industries has carried over into the
automotive industry. Another interest
ing color accent on this years cars Is
supplied by the free use of chromium
and aluminium. Aluminium is used as
window reveal and molding accent.
Chromium. plated wire wheels are In
evidence. A modification of the use of
chromium effect for wire wheels, as
shown on some cars, was the introduce
ton Of chromium argent lacquer.

ing this training will be eliminated
prior to its completion.
The quota for the District aviation
division will be eight student officers,
six seamen, second class, and two
Marine Corps Reserve privates.
The requirements for an applicant
for aviation training as just laid down
are that he must be a citizen of the
United States or its insular possessions;
he must reside in the locality of an
authorized Naval Reserve aviation divi-
sion or squadron; he must have finished
his university training, be a senior in
a university, or have the equivalent
education which will make him eligible
for ground school training under the
local university regulations. Appli-
cants must be qualified physically, both
for enlistment and for flight.
At the time of the commissioning the
applicant must be not less than 18 nor
more than % years of age. He should
not have passed his twenty-seventh
birthday when enlisted and ordered to
flight training. Applicants must also
certify their willingness to remain on
active duty for one year after receiving
commissions, or total of 81 months,
including training period.

GAINS PREDICTED
IN MOTOR SALES
Momentum Is Expected to
Continue During Year-Sev-
eraI Factors Cited.

'"From all Indications the automobile
industry enters upon the threshold of
a new year, backed by most optimiS-
tic outlook for a year of substantial
progress and further development, in
the opinion of Thomas Mott, local
Chandler distributor.
lone only has to consider resume
of the present situation to appreciate
the logic of this prediction. For months
the country as a whole has been en-
joying a prosperous era of business
development. Particularly is this ap-
plicable to the automobile industry.
There Is every reason to believe
that this sales momentum will con-
tinue in view of the progressive steps
which are taking place with various
companies. On all sides continued EVIL
dence of preparation is noticeable, to
take care of heavy, anticipated up
ward trend of sales. Of course, even
with many manufacturers planning big
schedules, it is not logical to assume
that they will attempt unWarranted
mass production in excess of poten-
tial possibilities.
Never in the history of the automo-
bile business has it been in better
position to take care of large volume
on an efficient and capacity produc-
ton basis. One only has to stop and
consider the rapid strides made by all
companies in the betterment of their
product; cars generally have been made
more appealing in beauty, more eff
ficient in performance, and consid-
erably lowered scale of prices have
been effected right down the line.
with general business moving along
on satisfactory basis, and with man
ufacturers fortifying themselves with
improved products, intensive sales and
advertising programs, it is safe to pre-
dict that 1929 will show marked gains
in sales over the year just passed.
1.-THE replacement field alone for 1929
will run approximately 100000 cars.
Introduction of new low-priced models
will prove stimulus for many to re-
place the old car with new one. Be-
cause of the lowered investment, many
families will be buying two or three
cars who heretofore felt that only one
car could be afforded.
Another and decidedly influential
factor in creating a potential outlet for
increased production for the new year
is the definite acceptance of American
built cars in foreign markets. This
heretofore restricted field has Of late
manifested a decided increase, and
from all indications will absorb a sub
stantial percentage of the motor Car
output during 1929"

D. c.. Naval Reserve

When the u. S. destroyer Abel P

Comdr. Eersey is one of the most
popular regular officers ever assigned
to the local organization, according to
both officers and men. He has done
everything possible to make their work
easy, at the same time inStilling into
them the doctrines and discipline of the
Navy. On the annual cruises he has
given them as much liberty as the
exigencies of the service would permit,
and both officers and men express
much regret that he Is soon to leave

DISTRIBUTION COST
CUT IN 1929 SEEN
Freer Movement of Commodities
Between Urban and Rural Areas
Held Basic Factor.

Newspapers, good roads and modern
trucks are in natural alliance which
may during 1929 contribute powerfully
to reduction of Americas high mer-
chandise distribution costs, estimated
at go per cent by most economists.
That is the opinion of Paul w. Seller,
president of the General Motors
Truck Co.
"A year from now,' he said, I'VE may
speak of 1929 as the year that wiped
out distances. To do that is one of
the greatest opportunities this year
brings to American business. In fac
ing our part of the opportunity we Of
the truck industry find ourselves allied
with the newspapers of this country
by the very mutually of our aims and
plans"
Vastly freer movement of commodi-
ties between city and what is still called
country" Is a basic factor, Mr.. Seller
contends. in any real reduction Of the
60 per cent distribution costs with which
American industry now wrestles.
There Is fundamental trend which
none of us has yet calculatea accurate
~, and which very few businesses have
even started to use, toward tremendous
expansion in the influence areas of
cities. The growth and influence ex-
pdnSlOn OF newspapers ILLUSTRATES Inal
quite clearly, think.
This trend is apt to be more sharp
1y defined in 1929 than in any previous
year, and perhaps than in any single
year to come.
Therein lies ripe opportunity for
the manufacturer who would cut his
distribution costs. And an equally
golden opportunity for the great city
merchandising establishments, which
must find ways to increase their armies
of customers in order to use the full
lOtentials of their remarkable organ
i5ations.

CADILLAC LEADER
SEES PROSPERITY
Business Opportunities of
1929 Will Exceed 1928,
Fisher Believes.

On the 1929 business horizon both
opportunities and responsibilities appear
on larger scale than at any time in
history, according to Lawrence P.
Fisher, president of the Cadillac Motor
Car Co.
"A year ago we entered 1928 in a
spirit of healthy confidence. Business
growth during that year established
many new peak records. 1t did more.
1t built up reservoir of commercial
resources from which American bust
ness may draw an even greater degree
of progress during 1929. II sound man
agement prevails and If business re-
mains free from excuses, prospects for
1929 are far better than they were in
1928.
THE business attitude Of the country
generally is one of confidence in the
future. This in itself Is sound eco
nomic asset. Actual business at hand
in the various departments of COM
merce, industry and finance stands at
record volume.
General Review Reveals Prosperity.
while final figures for 1928 are not
yet available, present indications are
that the sound prosperity of the United
States will be revealed in general re-
view Of business conditions as marking
new peak in automobile output, out
put of steel, volume of building, increase
in market values of securities, per capita
wealth and an array of balance sheets
and income accounts not equaled in any
previous year.
I'm the automobile industry alone
the growth of domestic consumption
and Of exports abroad should combine
to produce higher peak than even the
high record Of 1928.
"All Of these factors in our purely
domestic business situation are highly
favorable. There is, however, an ever
growing importance in the interrelation
between the economic conditions of all
the nations of the world. The present
era of prosperity here was ushered in
with the development of the motor car.
other nations are just beginning to
realize its value, and use of motor cars
abroad is now in the same phase as it
was here 20 years ago.
Nations Recovering Buying Power.
Nations recovering from effects of
the World War are better of today
| than at any time since the declaration
of peace. They have greater buying
power. Their increasing use of motor
cars will add to their own prosperity
and will further contribute to our own.
I'm the United States we have at
hand the greatest amount of business
resources and possibilities in our his
tory. With these opportunities we have
also the greatest responsibilities.
1.-THE year should be viewed not as a
'cashing-in' period, but as time for
laying the foundation for period of
many years Of prosperity. The bust
ness principles which we employ this
year will be factor in the economical
welfare of the next generation. 1t will
i be time for combination of great
conservatism in management, with the
most progressive policy in our history,
and the business world will be watch
| ing the results"
