NEW YORK, January 25.-The auto
mobile industry in 1929 produced 1851, =
900 cars and trucks, having a wholesale
value of $3,483, 100000, according to
preliminary figures announced by Al
fred Reeves, general manager of the
National Automobile Chamber Of Com
merce.
That is the largest production ever
achieved in a single year, and COM
pares with total production of 4,60l,-
100 units in 1928, with a wholesale
value of $3,162, 798,880.
World registration of motor vehicles
at the close of 1929 reached 34,70O, 900,
of which 26.400,00O, or rs per cent, were
registered in the United States
The world registration in 1928 was
81, 778 ,203, of which "a ,493, 124 were reg
istered within the United States.
The notorist last year paid an aver
age of 1912 for his car, according to
Mr. Reeves figures.
In addition to the unprecedented pro-
duction Of new cars, the industry manu-
featured parts and accessories for re-
placements, as well as service equip
nent, having wholesale value Of $780,
100000, and turned out rubber tires for
replacement value at 100000 GOO.

this is done, these officials will be
sustained by the power Of public
opinion.
What punishment should be
melted out to the reckless driver,
the drunken driver or to the cow
ardly fellow who runs away from
the scene after he has injured or
killed q person through his culp-
able negligence, is the question
and problem which prosecutors.
police and traffic judges and
jurieS must face.
"The punishment should, nat
urally, fit the crime. It should
likewise be swift and certain. It
must be based on reason and Jus
tice, and on a careful analysis of
all the facts surrounding each
case. Leniency may, in some
cases, bring about the desired re-
form. In other cases, heavy pen
altieS and Jail sentences must be
imposed, especially where the
culprit is a persistent and repeat
ed violator.
Percentage Small.
"InaSmuch as serious traffic Of
lenses are committed by rela-
lively small percentage of the
drivers, and as many of the minor
offenSeS are committed through
inadvertence or lack of knowledge
or the regulations, every possible
effort should be made to educate
the public SO that they will know
what the regulations are, and why
they were enacted. If this is done,
the better class of citizens will
improve the traffic situation
through law observance, and the
Willful violatorS will be compelled
to obey them or take the conSe-
quenceS.
Statistics have amply proven
that the great majority of traffic
deaths and personal injury acct
dents are due to the careleSSleSS
Of the individuals themselves.
Personal safety depends to a great
extent on the individual. This
situation can be improved, and
the death and accident toll can be
reduced, If the people, especially
the young, are taught to take care
Of themselves. And as a means
to that end safety campaigns and
safety teaching in the schools
should be encouraged"
All this is extremely helpful and
Washington is to be commended
for having a man on the bench
who understands.

Rudolph Jose, chairman of the
automobile show committee, is in
receipt of the following letter,
from which extracts are taken.
written by Charles P. Clark, gen.

Automobile Editor Of The star.
TIME 1880 automobile show al
last has come to the Ma
tional Capital. Last nights
opening at the Auditorium
marked the tenth exhibition to be
held under the auspices of the
Washington Automotive Trade
Association.
Last year the show in Washing
ton followed a banner year in the
automotive industry, and such is
the case again this year, bearing
out a prediction made in this
column.
According to the official report
OF the Department of Commerce,
total sales Slumped considerably
during the last month of the year.
but factory production totaled
5,358,361 for 1929, as compared
with 4,35S,759 for the previous
year.
1880 Outlook Favorable.
The outlook for this year is
favorable If judgment is made
from the interest maintained at
the various shows in New York,
Philadelphia, Detroit and Balti-
more. The number of the crowds
and their interest and enthusiasm
can be regarded as fairly good
barometer in regard to coming
conditions.
Therefore the present year can
be viewed somewhat optimistical-
ly and the threatened depression
Is gradually being swept away. In
all probability 1880 will not out
strip other years in sales records.
but may become year for stabil-
iZation, an attainment Sorely
needed. Questions of finance and
credit will undoubtedly be placed
on a firmer baSiS-all of which
will tend to bring more prosperity
to the industry as whole than
in record-producing years.
Seek Recognition.
Dealers throughout the country
are clamoring for more recognf-
ton from the various factories.
and to them this Is due. It does
not behoove the welfare of the
country at large for this impor-
tant branch of the industry to
Suffer-and suffer many of them
have, due to matching their wits
and pennies to keep up with mass
production.
When dealer is forced to over.
stock himself with automobiles
he has got to cut somewhere.
Cutting may be applied to his
commissions or to allowances
made on used cars. In either case
the. result is somewhat disas-.
trouS.
Wise thinkers at the factories.
are having this fact brought home
to them. They are looking for a
remedy. A thought is in their
minds that there can be such q
thing as too much mass produc-
ton unless there is a mass outlet
for their products. A small price
increase has been noted in the
cars of some of the manufacture
erS. This allows more leeway for
all concerned. Further refine
mentS in the 1880 automobile
have made this possible without
affronting the prospective buyer.
Lower upkeep costs have been
stated to exist as a panacea.
Dealer Obligations.
A thought is being brought to
the dealers to help the situation.
More than ever they are poing
by their little "blue book" which
gives the yearly price list depre-
citation on all used cars. The
puhl'c Is beginning to realize.

such a bill being California, Massa-

The art Of making paper seems to
have been known to the Chinese at a
very early period. Different writer's
have traced it back to the Second cen

middle of the Eighth century. 1t was
probably first brought into Greece
from Asia. There is record of its use
by the Empress Irene about the end
