1929 BIGGEST e. YEAR
IN AUTO HISTORY
Photo Theo. L. Chase

For the first year in the his
tory Of the automobile, six-cylin-
der cars led all other types dur
ing the twelve months of 1929,
according to a survey conducted
by the Chevrolet Motor Company.
Registrations Of SKIES for the
year just closed comprised more
than so per cent of the regiStra-
tionS of all types of passenger
cars, according to the Chevrolet
statistical department, a compila-
ton based on registrations for
the first ten months-the latest
available figure-plus the esti-
mate for the remainder Of the
year. Actual figures for ten
months totaled 1851, 900 regiStra-
tions of all makes OF passenger
cars, Of which 2,001,Oo0 were
SKIES.
In the early days OF the in
duStry the total annual output
was confined to the old "one
lunger" types. Later the two
cylinder cars dominated the vol
ume field, and latterly four-cylin-
der models comprised the major
portion Of each years output.
Ascendancy of SKIES to this po-
sition of leadership in public pref
erence in 1929 is seen as further
evidence of the increased value
constantly being offered in a mo-
tor car in the face OF recedlng
prices.

that one large four-cylinder man
ufacturer was on restricted pro-
duction as a result of model
changes. In 1929, however, with
four-cylinder manufacturers opCr-
ating on full schedules, the four
cylinder type lost out to the SIX
cylinder model by a substantial
margin, a fact attributable di-
reCtly to the change-over by
Chevrolet from a four to six
at the beginning Of the year.
Production of Chevrolet skies in
1929 totaled 1,350,000 cars which
in previous years would have
added to the four-cylinder total,
but which in 1929 threw the vol.
ume lead comfortably into the
field of the six-cylinder car.

CAFE OWNER wins
IN 'SET-UP' TRIAL
Judge Dismisses Charge Based
on Service of Ice and Gin
ger Ale to Guests

San Francisco, June 6.-(P)-The
government has lost its first test case
in a drive against restaurant and cafe
owners who serve "setups" of ice and
ginger ale to guests with the knowl-
edge that they are to be used In mix
ing intoxicating drinks.
Federal Judge Kerrigan yesterday
directed a verdict for Edward Spohn,
manager Of the Silver Slipper Cafe,
after pointing out there was a fatal
variance" between the wording Of the
complaint on which his place was
raided several weeks ago and the evil
dence presented by prohibition agents
during the trial.
Defense attorneys elected the ad-
mission from a federal undercover
agent that he had visited the cafe
with another man and two women
friends and had drunk liquor pur-
chased earlier In the day from q boot
logger as evidence in another case.
When the government failed to
prove that Spohn kept certain
liquors for SALE as was charged in the
complaint, the directed verdict was
made.
The judge, however, instructed the
prosecution that it would again try
Spohn on a charge of maintaining a
nuisance in that he permitted patrons
to bring liquor into the cafe and fur
nished them with ice, gingerale and
other mixers"

Issues Reach New Lows

New York. June S-tAP)-The
stock market was subjected to an
other minor bear offensive today, but
they were unable to make much head
way.
Prominent shares generally were
depressed a point or two. More than

reached new lows for the year.

May sales. a drop of about 9 per cen
in the May sales of Simmons n sub
salaries; passing of the Coty dividend
and a news ticker analysis predicting
a sharp drop in automobile output
during the next so to so days, were
not of a character to impart any
buoyancy to the market.
Selling was most active in the
morning. but by early afternoon the
list rallied in spots. Credit remained
plentiful, with rates practically un-
changed. A few stocks sold off 8 to
5 points. or more including Ameri-
can Tobacco. Allied Chemical and De-

More energetic pressure was APP
piled by the bear faction in the last
hour when some popular industriais
touched new low figures for the year.
Columbia Graphophone sold at 81. Off
