STATE LICENSE FOR AUTOS
URGED BY &C. PRESIDENT

Ell PASO, Jan, 25-Support OF an
automobile driver license tax, funds
from which would be used TO pur-
chase state park sites Is being sought
by II. l.. Birney. president OF the e
Paso Chamber Of Commerce, and
regional director Of the West Texas
Chamber Of Commerce, throughout
this section Of West Texas. He has
covered at least one third Of the state
by letters to interested communities,
and Is consistently urging that other
sections Of the state give support TO
the plan. Birney has been collabora-
ting with D.. Z. Colp chairman OF the
Texas state parks board, in this
work, and word from Colp indicates
that much encouragement OF the
project is being received. Chambers
OF Commerce throughout the state
are being urged TO get behind the
movement and write state represen-
tatives and Senators asking them to
support 1t.
Protective Feature
The drivers license should prove
a great protection to both pedes-
trianS and motorists on the high
ways, from irresponsible and in
competent drivers. Birney said. while
at the same time. the fees received
from this license could be used to
the greatest advantage in purchaS-
ing sites for state parks. The pro-
position has been before the direc-
tors Of the West Texas Chamber Of
Commerce, and every possible help
for carrying out the plan 20 the
fullest extent, may be expected from
that organization.
There are four sites at the pres
ent tine. in which particular in
terest Is being shown. These are the
Palo Duro Canyon site, the Quad
alupe Mountain site in McKittrick
Canyon, the Davis Mountain site
and the Caddo Lake site.
The development Of these sites
would bring millions of tourist doll
airs into Texas. Already millions are
being spent each year by tourists
who travel through the state. With
state parks at various points, many
of these tourists would spend several
days longer IN Texas. Carlsbad
Caverns attracts tens OF thousands
Of tourists every year. and the great
er part Of them drive through Tex
as.
State parks would attract many
OF these. as wei as many additional
ones, and would also provide spots
OF interest TO Texans themselves.
All OF the proposed park sites are
located at strategic points 70 catch
the tourist travel as well as being
accessible TO Texans Owe good high
WAYS.
McKittrick Canyon is not far dis
tant from the Carlsbad Caverns and
may be reached over the Dal-Paso
Caverns Highway; U. s. 80. by turn
ing off at Pecos or Van Horn, and
over the Old Spanish Trail or the
Border Highway by turning off at
Van Horn. Thousands Of acres OF
virgin pine cover the top OF the
Guadalupe range IN which this can
yon is located.
Park Sites
Likewise Davis Mountain Park
site Is within reach over good roads
and is one Of the most scenic parts
Of West Texas. Roads lead to this
section from all parts Of Texas. The
Palo Duro Canyon site is near Amar-
lilo. With this park established,

Chevrolet Sees Growth In
Present Months
Business

DETROIT, Jan. 25-Chevrolet
will sell more cars this month than
in January q year ago, according TO
II. j. Klingler. vice-president and
general sales manager OF the Chew
rolet Motor Company. who announ-
ced on Saturday that the months
schedule had TO be increased in re-
spouse 10 the greatest reception a
new Chevrolet model has received
in the nineteen-year history Of the
company.
Directly on the heels OF the first
showing Of the new al on Jan. 4,
a flood OF congratulatory messages
poured into the home office from
every quarter OF the country. Every
message told Of unprecedented pub
lie interest in the new car and a
consequent increase IN retail sales,
with the result that the January
schedule had to be revised upward
to meet dealer requirements for i'm
mediate delivery, Mr.. Klinger said.
That the step-up In the schedule
resulted directly from the number
of orders taken Tor the new a
when it made its public bow, rather
than upon an estimate Of the
months requirements, Is indicated
in a statement from the Chevrolet
sales executive:
Our policy for some time" MI.
Klingier explained, has been to key
our production facilities TO the anti
cipated needs Of our sales organiza-
ton SO that dealers might not be-
come o~ver-stocked. On this basis we
set our January schedule 70 parallel
the sales forecast, but so many deal
ers. upon noting the public attitude
toward the new car, have asked TO
have their quotas increased that our
output for the month will now x
coed the figure Of last January"
Messages from our dealers re-
lating the public attitude toward
the new car have come 70 us in
greater numbers this year than here
tofore. and every message radiates
a note Of complete confidence over
the years prospect. Large dealers
are increasing their commitments
for cars. and many small dealers,
who formerly sold six or eight cars
in a year, have asked to have the
new 1880 car shipped TO them in
carload lots.

tourists coming into the Panhandle
district would have their first park
TO visit, swinging south to Roswell
on u. s. Highway 500, 10 Roswell
thence south 70 Carlsbad Caverns.
they could visit the McKittrick Can
yon Park, and then again farther
south the Davis Mountain Park.
The Caddo Lake park would pro-
vide the eastern side OF Texas with
a splendid tourist attraction. This
park would lie along the Louisiana
line and be easily accessible from the
main motor highways from the east
into Texas.
The Colp plan OF using fees from
drivers licenses to buy and improve
these park sites would raise ample
funds TO acquire and build the parts.
The money thus invested would
bring returns to Texas many times
greater than the original investment.

WOMEN FLIERS MAKE GO OF
SELLING AVIATION COURSES

II you have ever bought a collar
button. or a dress, or a house and
lot. you know that you probably
bought them because the person
who sold them, by his knowledge
Of the particular commodity. con-
WINGED you that they were the best
possible collar button, or dress or
house and lot that could be bought.
In other words you felt that this
person knew what you wanted and
knew exactly what he vas selling.
And so it Is with buying and
selling in aviation as well as in
other fields. Suppose a "hot pros
pect" for q flying course walks into
an aviation salesroom. Suppose this
prospect happens TO be a woman.
Who other than a woman graduate
Of the same course is better fitted
TO outline 70 her what the course
covers and exactly what it will
cost?
What To Wear:
But why couldn't a man who
graduated from the same course
tell her all that? He could-but
not / n he woman's point OF view.
And )se the prospect should
ask. .aore than likely would,
"Exa what will I need IN the
way o. a flying outfit? In other
words. what kind OF shoes, helmet,
and suit are the most practical.
comfortable, economical and most
becoming for the purpose in hand?"
A mere man would be left floun-
deripg somewhere between a We'll,
I know what ! find most practical
for flying" and a I'll introduce
you 10 a woman pilot and she will
give you all the dope on those mat
ters." A woman placed in the same
position would have an assorted
collection Of answers based on her
own experience and that OF her wo-
men friends at the tip Of her ton
que.
But does Il work out that way
In practice? In other words, are
woman actually selling flying
courses? Complete statistics arc not
available on the subject. Even the
few facts that are known. how
ever. show that they arc successful
in the sale OF courses in flying in
struction.

for the flying course conducted by

Eight Sympathizers

NEWARK, N. j. Sept. 23.-As a
result of the expulsion Of eight mem
bers of the Newark Local 1888, of
Carpenters, an A. F. of L. union, for
demanding that the Trade Union
Unity Leagues program be put into
action by the Essex County and
Vicinity District Councils, the mill
tant workers in all the locals are
preparing for a finish fight against
TIE corrupt leadership of the A. F.
of L. officers.
The carpenters point to the fact
that the A. F, of L. misleaders were
so fearful of the results to them
selves of the T. U. U. L. program if
it were endorsed that they didn't
wait for the legal period of 80 days
before expelling the committee of
eight, but expelled them immedi-
ately.
Most of the locals have signiied
their intention of holding special
meetings, where plans will be drawn
up to fight to GUST the corrupt A. F.
Of L. leadership and bring all the
locals into the Trade Union Unity

Young of the radio trust at the
celebration at Camden, N. j., the
night of Sept. 10, of the merging
of the radio manufacturing plants
of General Electric, Westinghouse,
Graybar and the Radio Corporation.
This merger had been described by
Attorney General Mitchell, in his
suit filed some months ago against
the Radio Trust as part of said
unlawful combination, conspiracy
and monopoly" 1t was the closing
of factories in Pittsburgh, Schenec-
tady and elsewhere, and the reduc-
ton, by many thousands, of the
number of workers employed in
making radio equipment. The Cam
den plant, just opened with a speech
of congratulation by Davis, is the
result of the closing OF these other
plants. Workers who lost jobs in
Pittsburgh, where Davis lives and
where he is asking votes, were
obliged to choose between unem-
ployment at home and moving to
Camden in the hope of getting jobs
there.
Industrial leaders who are open
ing up plants deserve the thanks of
the country" Davis told the radio
trust audience. Many have been
waiting for someone to show the
way. This occasion marks
