QUITS SHOW

Charging discrimination against
American automobile manufac-
turers, General Motors Corp. an
nounced today 1t would not ex-
hibit its cars or products at the
1880 Paris automobile show next
month.
The announcement was made
In the name Of James D. Mooney,
vice-president and head Of the
General Motors export division,
who is now in Europe.
General Motors has been exhi-
biting at Paris for eleven years.
Most Of the other American manu-
facturers are represented. Cen
eral Motors withdrawal cuts six
two bus lines out Of the Paris
passenger cars, two trucks and
show attractions.
The corporations announce
ment stated for the first few
years American products were
treated the same as those OF
other nations outside France,
which was naturally favored. For
the past five years, however, the
French have been enforcing a 10
year-old rule, under which Ameri-
cans are Eermitted to select space
only after the manufacturers of
every other nation have chosen
theirs. The only space left Is poor
ly lighted and in recesses or in
conspicuous places along the
walls. In addition. the show Off
cialS have seized many petty oc-
casions to assess fines against
American exhibitors.
The following quotation was
credited to Mr.. Mooney:
"It is only proper that each
country will, and should, permit
its own manufacturers to draw
for space first. No objection
ever has been raised to this
practice.
Individual American manu-
facturerS and the National Au-
tOmObile Chambec of Commerce
frequently have made requests
for changes in the French rules
to place the United States on a
parity with other countries, but
without result.
Under the circumstances the
General Motors Export Com
pany regretfuIIy feels IL can NO
longer c0ndone such discrimina-
tiOn, or with Self-respect lend its
financial and moral support"

ment appeal. Harvester only pays
$3.50 a share in dividends.
Earnings last year were $7.11
on the common, while the aver
age profits for the last four years
were about $3.50 a share. In ad-
dition the company has made
unusually heavy charge offs to
various reserves. Last year this
totaled the equivalent Of $5.05 q
share, one statiStician estimated,
while in 1928 it was $4,39 share,
$2.97 in 1927 and $3.50 in 1925.
This shows the unusual con-
servatism of the management and
the ease with which it could
raise the dividend rate or pay an
extra if it SO decided. True the
outlook for the agricultural I'M
plement makers is very uncertain.
but this explains why the stock
is down SO low. Harvester, how
ever, is not entirely dependent on
its farm machinery, for its out
put is well diversified and it is a

in the mechanical refrigeration

however. At that the stock looks

General Electric admit 1t may be
difficult to bring investment trust

one Of the favorites OF trust port

cate that the pool is finding the

away from Baldwin for the
present.

can be added American Telephone

Insurance Is the only commod-
ity which cannot be purchased
whens 1t is needed mostI DO not
wait until a fire breaks out before
you realize this. Count the cost
of inadequate fire insurance now
and be prepared. When man
purchases a home, he wants it
for comfort and as an invest
ment-not a speculation and risk.
Then--why speculate with it2 In.
adequate insurance is speculation
with fire--it leaves your invest
ment exposed to danger Of loss.
The yearly fire loss In the
United States is about a half bill
lion dollars and without our mod.
ern fire-fighting facilities, it
would be still greater. Fire at
tackS some home in America
every two minutes and no one
knows whose property may be
burned next. Although fire may
not have come to your house yet,
1t may come just as unexpected
to you as 1t has to others. How
could you be compensated for
your loss, by a fire which may oc-
cur Unexpectedly and destroy
your valuable property in a short
time, If YOU carried no fire In
surance?
In Proportion?
You may have fire insurance
but Is it in proportion to the
present value of your property?
Values advance and unless your
insurance will completely replace
building and furnishings, your
home Is not safe. If your prop.
erty has increased in value, your
Insurance should be increased &C
cordingly. There are two ways
in which you may do yourself
injustice: by under-insurance of
your property or oVer-inSurance.
BY refusing to take out addition
al fire insurance, you are in dan
ger Of assuming a fire loss be-
yond the limits Of your present
policy protection. In other words.
you are UNDER-INSURED. Then,
on the other hand, perhaps you
are wasting good money in pre-
miums for too much fire insur-
ance.
Your needs change from year
to year. A periodic survey Of
your fire insurance needs may
save you from loss and under
insured property is a risk which
always proves costly in the end.
II you want a larger mortgage
on your home, your banker will
first determine the present value
Of your property. If It has in
creased, he will insist upon
larger insurance protection to
safeguard his investment from
loss in case of fire. If your
banker needs that added Qro-
lection. it is convincing evidence
that you also need 1t to protect
your equity in your property.
Practically everyone carries some
fire insurance but some do not
realize that they may be insult
ficiently insured!
Review Policies
Review your policies now!
Take an inventory of your prop
erty and furnishings and see If
the stated limits provide ade-
quate protection. If your home
burned tonight, would your loss
be covered by fire insurance?
Is your garage insured, too?
While you think you have sound
protection. 1t will pay you to
make sure. A careful survey of
your property, at It's present
value, in comparison with your
insurance coverage is essential!
Most men when their fire insur-
ance expires simply renew it for
the same amount. Before you
renew your policy, ask your agent
to call and determine whether or
not you are fully protected.
Another form Of protection in
conjunction with fire insurance
is rental value insurance. When

Auto Accidents Increase


Approximately 19,7O0 persons
have been killed in automobile
accidents in this country during
the first eight months Of this
year, it Is indicated by reports
received by the Travellers Insur-
ance Company from State motor
vehicle commissioners and direc-
tors Of vital statistics. This
record Of fatalities Is around
1900 In excess Of the number of
deaths reported during the cor
responding period in 1929, an In
crease of 6.56 per cent.
Five times as many persons are
killed and injured yearly as die
from natural causes and fatal
automobile accidents are greater
than any other class. The death
toll in 1929 was 31,100. Every
year A times as many persons
are killed, in traffic accidents as
were killed in the San Francisco
earthquake and fire. The dead
and injured In annual highway
accidents would make up a city
as large as Washington, D. c. In
view of these statistics, showing
deaths by accident from one
cause on1y-the automobile no
one can afford to gamble with
fate and be without accident

al Now storm


The wide-open break in Vana'
dunn started yesterdays decline.
Acute weakness in the coppers
further disturbed sentiment, and
the result was a series OF bear
drives that knocked the entire
list on its heels. Reports from
the floor told Of q number OF
bear pools attacking individual
stocks like Vanadiun, Anaconda,
Steel.
The ''big bears" were in there,
TOO, but their operations were
not as open. A floor trader said
that only scattering short lines
were taken in before the close
which would indicate both Q
heavy short interest and that
the bears were confident. Since
Banking buying was still pain
fully absent, the only conclusion
to be drawn is that the reaction
has further to go.
The most amazing thing about
yesterdays break was that there
was no news to account Tor the
fresh outburst of selling which
carried volume to the highest
day's trading in a long time. On
the contrary, news from the trade
world were cheering If anything.
The Steel report was encourag-
ing. Car loadings were higher,
and President Sloan, OF General
Motors, issued statement that
business had turned the corner
and was now on the way to res
covery.
