AUTO SALES DRIVE
is DUE NEXT WEEK
Chevrolet Company Plans
Sharp OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Optimistic on Outlook.
BY JAMES f. DONELLIN.

Special Dispatch to The Star
DETROIT, February rs. - The most
energetic move made by an automobile
volume up to normal levels will get
under way next week, when the Chevro-
let Motor Co. embarks en- sales pro-
motion activity said to be the most OK
tensive ever put on by national man
ufacturer.
More than 4o, 900 people in the Chez
rolet domestic retail organization will
be summoned to the 50 zone head
quarters in as many key cities to at
tend meetings staged by factory Of
ficials for the improvement OF retail
sales procedure. Nine groups of factory
officials. each group comprised of eight
men, will stage the meetings from March
to March 19.
Walter P. Chrysler views the long
range outlook of the automctive in
dustry enthusiastically. In his report on
Chrysler Corporation points out that in
spite of the fact that the automobile
industry has experienced the most
severe and prolonged decline in its
career, and that the number OF auto
mobiles in use increased but slightly
in $780, the consumption of gasoline in
creased materially.
This proves, Mr.. Chrysler says, that
automobiles in use are being employed
more intensively and that the motor
car has become so indispensable as a
factor in the life of the whole popula-
ton that it is as certain as anything
can be that as soon as general business
conditions improve there will be a re-
sumption of motor car purchases on a
large scale.
Mr.. Chrysler adds that plans Of Fed
eral State and municipal governments
for increased construction expenditures,
as well as the large improvement pro-
grams of the great corporations. will
probably make this felt within the near
future. This. with the increased pur-
chasing power which will result, will
undoubtedly be reflected in increased
purchases of motor cars.
Meanwhile, sales department execu-
tives of automobile companies here fear
that the action of the Canadian gov
eminent on the motor car tariff will
choke off large export trade. The rul-
ing OF the Bennett government is that
cars will not be permitted to be entered
for duty at a lower price than 20 per
cent off list Heretofore a discount
Of 80 per cert has been allowed.

ACTIVITY GAIN
NOTED IN u. S. RESERVE REPORT
January Increase Is Less Than Usual Sea-
sonal Upturn-Pay Rolls and Money
Rates Are. Smaller.

Industrial activity increased in jan
uary by slightly less than the usual
seasonal amount and factory employ
ment and pay rolls declined, says the
monthly bulletin OF the Federal Reserve
Board. Money rates in the open market
declined further from the middle of
January to the middle of February.
The boards index OF industrial pro-
duction, which is adjusted for seasonal
variation, showed a decrease of l per
cent in January, compared with de-
clines OF per cent in November and in
December. Activity in the steel indus
try, which was at a low level in De-
cember, increased during the follow
ing month by considerably more than
the usual seasonal amount: output of
automobiles, which had shown an I'M
usual increase in December increased
less in January than in the correspond
ing month Of other recent years. The
cotton and wool textile industries were
more active in January, while the out
put of copper, petroleum and coal de-
clined.
Declines in Employment.
The number of wage earners employed
at factories was smaller In the payroll
period ended nearest the 18th of jan
uary than in the preceding month, re-
fiecting in part extended year-end
shutdowns. There were large declines
in employment at foundries and at es-
adjustments producing hosiery. wom-
ems clothing, lumber, brick, cement
and tobacco products: employment in
the mems clothing, leather and agri-
cultural implement industries increased
somewhat more than usual for the sea-
son. Factory pay rolls we're consider
ably reduced in January
Value of contracts awarded for resi-
Dental building continued to decline in
January. according to the F. w. Dodge
Corporation, while contracts for public
works and utilities increased. In the
first half Of February the daily average
of contracts awarded for residential
building increased.
Volume of freight car loadings was
reduced further in January, contrary
to the usual seasonal tendency reflect
ing decI eases in shipments of coal mer-
chandise and miscellaneous freight. De-
partment store sales, which always show
sharp reduction from December to

mated seasonal amount.

NEW YORK, February 26.-The fol-
lowing is summary OF important cor

News Trend.
The increase OF l6,197 units in Jan
uary automotive production as reported
to the Census Bureau from IA manu-
facturers does not represent an unusual
gain for that particular period. I'M
proving steel mill activity has indicated
to some extent an increase of such
moderate proportions. Although the
total output of I'll 1903 units was an
advance of 1913 per cent over Deem
Der. it was short by 1915 per cent or
1922 units of the combined produc-
ton in the corresponding month of 1880.
The basis for better sentiment in the
cotton trade is provided in last week S
sales reports from a number Of active
mills and one of the larger New York
commission houses. A current trade re-
view reports that orders for same lines
have exceeded those for any similar
period in several years, and that the
stock and order position of many mills
is currently stronger than at any other
time since the Spring of 1927.

position, and was going to present
him with a decoration which had
been forwarded to the American
ambassador.
You go and get it." said Edison.
NOT on your life" the assistant
replied. That card seems informal
but it's a command from the am
passador of your country to appear
at the embassy"
Edison asked his companion if he
would help him over his shyness
ana nervousness by going to the
embassy with him and, when he
agreed, Edison sighed with relief.
AT the embassy there were num-
oers OF distinguished people. After
chatting for a while the ambassador
said:
BY the way, Edison, I have
something here that the French
government asked me to hand Won"
He produced a large velvet case
and handed it to Edison. who
thanked him and tucked it under
his arm.
Here" shouted Reid. open that
up and let's see what you have"
Edison opened the case and there
was the beautiful cross of Com
