at 187,s4S Cars in Survey
of Industry.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 1.-The autono-
bile industry in the United States and
Canada made marked progress along
the road to recovery in March, esti-
mates indicated today.
The National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce placed output for its mem
bers at 157,S48 cars, a gain of rs per
cent over February, or substantially
larger than the normal seasonal gain
This doss not include the Ford Motor
Co., output Of which is estimated in
trade circles around 100000, bringing
total March output into the neighbor-
hood of 100000 cars, or, roughly, 1OO,-
600 less than in the like month of 1880.
The Chevrolet Motor Co.'S output for
March is estimated at about 80 900
units, falling behind Ford Motor Co. for
the first time this year.
Output for the entire industry In the
United States and Canada for April is
expected to show a substantial gain over
March on the basis of schedules an
nounced, although 1t is now expected
in trade circles that the total may come
cloeer to 100000 units than 100000.
The latter figure was generally esti-
mated few weeks ago.

Then. there are those who always

Again it has been suggested that
prornptness is a sort of nervous disorder.
When something is going to happen,
these over-prompt people get worked

uuently. their charged nerves carry
them to the scene of activities ahead
of time.
Still again, it is suggested that

A little aid in keeping bread from
mo,ding may prove as helpful to some
other flomemakers. Hold the loaf over
the flames from gas or oil-burner
cookstove. Dry cut the crusts all
around. This will seal in the moisture,
and the inside OF the loaf will remain
moist while the outside will not mold
easily. Be sure not to keep the bread
too long over the heat or. the moisture
will be drawn from the inside of the
loaf. Keep turning the loaf while
slightly soaring it, for thus the crust
will not be burnt, merely Drowned
slightly more than it Is before this pro-
cess is used.
