OUTPUT OF MOTORS
$4,000 DURING MAY
Figure Is SO Per Cent Above
1923 Period and 6 Per
Cent Below April.

Production of $4,000 motor vehicles
in May, estimated from factory shipping
statements. was reported to the di-
rectors' meeting of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce at New
York headquarters yesterday.
This is an increase of 36 per cent
above May last year, and decrease of
per cent under the April output.
Trade conditions throughout the coun-
try were reported active, in response to
warmer weather, and export outlook
continues good.
Alvan Macauley, president of the
chamber, presided at the meeting.
Maintaining that badly located bill
boards are a detriment to the roadside
and a menace to safety, the directors
adopted the following resolution:
advertising billboards erected In
large number along and adjacent to
the highways unnecessarily mar the
appearance of the countryside and de-
tract from the pleasures of motoring.
Such signs are in many cases erect
ed at points, such as curves, and rail-
road and highway intersections, where
they are positive menace to the safety
of operators and users of motor We
hicleS. BY distracting the attention of
drivers they may be contributing
cause to accidents.
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce Endorses civic efforts to
improve this situation in the public in
terest and specifically and emphatically
disapproves of any and all advertising
along our rural highways which may
imperil life, limb or property

result which might be expected.
The man of this country is learn
ing that that neighbor about
whom the old fear and diStrust
of the foreigner" hung heavily
in times gone by is another
human being, and pretty good
fellow after all. So it goes in
every country, with the world
awheel in American cars, seeing
and fraternizing with the neigh
Dor. Who knows but that to cold
steel mechanism as eXemplif1ed by
the automobile, might not be at
tributed, in years to come, a great
deal of the credit for the eStab-
lishment of universal peace?
Crossing Campaign Is On.
Through distribution of posters
and pamphlets throughout their
systems, the railroads of the
country are cooperating in the
ninth Careful Crossing" cam
paign, which is sponsored an
nually by the American Railway
Association during June, July,
August and September, when most
of the country is motoring.
The object of the campaign, OF
course, is to bring to the attention
OF both the motorists and the rail-
roads the need for exercising the
greatest possible care to avoid
injuries resulting from collisions
between trains and automobiles.
Millions of Gross Crossings
Cautiously" pamphlets and post
ers depicting the dire results of
motor train collisions are being
distributed now by the railroads
and motor associations of the
country.
Railroad posters draw attention
of the motoring public to the fact
that last year 1858 persons lost
their lives as the result of acct
dents at railroad crossings.

AUTO CALLED IDEAL VEHICLE
FOR TRAVEL ON HONEYMOON
Use of Car by Newly-Weds Prevents En-
barrassments That Usually Followed

modations for the night they need re-
main only as long as seems highly de-
sirable.
Those many persons along our Amer
lean highways who now hang out
Tourists Accommodated signs form
links in huge chain of lodging places
which provide satisfactory accommoda-
tons for newly-weds. There is sort OF
romance about securing different ac-
commodations each night at whatever
place one finds ones self. which is IN
keeping with the general idea Of honey
moons.
The automobile certainly makes
honeymoon trip more than ordinarily
full of interest Driving through the
country presents many opportunities
for visiting and seeing places that are
very enjoyable. There should never be
any dull moments on a honeymoon by
automobile. 1t is possible to go where
one wishes and when and how. 1t is
possible to do this at a reasonable cost,
in the main less expensive than the
older type. BY camping on the way
the cost of the honeymoon can be still
further reduced and at the same time
the real enjoyment of the experience
may be enhanced.
While some persons may think the
automobile in connection with honey
moon would be a distraction which
would keep the newly-weds from think
ing about themselves and their new
relations, this, if true, need be no
handicap. AS matter of fact, probably
one of the advantages of the automobile
as a factor in honeymoons is to help
create a divergency in activity which
will bring the couple back in nor
mally happy frame of mind. For two
persons to become too much absorbed
in each other, even on a honeymoon,
may have its unfavorable aspects. Ger
tainly the automobile prevents that.
While June is a popular month for
marriage ceremonies and honeymoons.
these important events are taking place
during all months of the year. Fortu-
nately the automobile is now disable
throughout the II months of the year.
People living in the Northern States
find a tour through the South during
the Winter an excellent honeymoon
plan. On the other hand, there are
to be found throughout the Northern
States honeymooners from the South
who have motored away from the ex-
cessive heat Of their native localities
Whatever the season or whatever the
destination desired, the automobile
makes good as an excellent vehicle to
use for honeymoon transportation.

This June, as usual, will be month
Of many weddings, in spite of the fact
that numerous eXpoSitors are predicting
the collapse of the marriage institution.
Any many honeymoons will be taken
in automobiles. In spite of the fact
that Lmdbergh may prefer an air.
plane to travel whittier he and his bride
may want to go, the auto is still pre-
ferred by most brides and bridegrooms
to the less crowded air routes.
The automobile is the ideal vehicle
for enjoying a honeymoon. Before this
sort of conveyance became commonplace
the usual procedure was to take train
to some desirable destination. One
trouble with this procedure lay in the
fact that trains go only on schedule.
After the ceremony, couples must wait
around for the train to arrive. This
gives all the friends a chance to collect
at the station, throw rice and generally
make the newly-weds uncomfortable
AS they board the train everybody
learns that here comes a bride, and
more embarrassment is likely to prevail.
The marriage service ought to be a
dignified procedure and the people who
have made their vows ought to be al
lowed to proceed on their honeymoon
in dignif1ed manner and with mini
mum of rowdyism. The automobile
makes this possible. If friends persist
in tying old shoes on to the car, it
is an easy matter for them to stop after
few miles and remove these features.
They can then proceed as any other
two human beings, unembarraSsed by
any comments of other persons. The
automobile makes this possible.
In the pre- automobile age it was
rather customary for people to go to a
certain place, engaging accommodations
ahead of time and arranging to remain
for a certain number of days or weeks.
If on arrival the couple did not enjoy
the environment thoroughly, it was
with some difficulty that they could
cancel their arrangements and proceed
to some other place. The automobile
has eliminated all this sort of incon-
venience. People on honeymoons nat
urally wish to follow their own whims
as to where they will go and not to
have themselves restricted by time
tables and schedules. The automobile
enables newly welded people to have
the ideal honeymoon from the stand
point Of avoiding such restrictions. BY
the use of the motor car these people
can proceed as far as they wish on any
particular day. and when taking accom-

Cuba Opening Section of Big Highway
As Feature of Machado Inaueural

HAVANA, June Am important
part of the program of festivities with
which Cuba is now celebrating the in
auguration of President Machado'S Sec
ond term, TO which he was elected
without opposition at the last election,
is the opening of the Havana -Matanzas
section of the Central Highway which
will traverse the Island from one end
to the other. and in the construction OF
which the government has been en-
gagged for some time.
The Cubans are very proud OF this
"Great Highway" which will be one
OF the longest and best constructed in
all the Americas, and which, by aiding
the material progress of Cuba, will con-
tribute toward the development of ocm-
mercial interchange with the neighbour
ing countries, and afford better trans
portation facilities for foreign capital
invested in Cuba. especially the Ameri-
can interests, which constitute three
fourths of the capital operating on the
island.

ated this great highway, states that
the highway Will have IA total length of
,l44 kilometerS, composed of the fol-
lowing sections: From Pinar del Rio TO
Havana, 1871 kilometerS: from Havana
to Matanzas, 1913 kilometers; from
MatanzaS TO Santa Clara, 1892 kilo-
meters; from Santa Clara to Camaguey,
2705 kilometers; and from Camaguey
TO Oriente, 399 kilometers. Construc-
ton was begun simultaneously all along
this central road and is being carried
on very rapidly, with many laborerS.
Work was begun on March 2, 1927, and
1t Is hoped that 1t will be finished, I'M
less unforeseen difficulties arise, in Feb
ruary of 1881. At present several Sec
tons are already in use, such as the
Havana-Los Palacios, the Havana Col
iSeo, Santa Clara-Jicotea, Camaguey-

eighty million pesos, a small amount, in
the opinion of the secretary of public
works, when compared with the
enormous benefits TO Cuba of this great
highway in the increase in values of
the lands 1t crosses, and in the lower
