EASE OF RIDING GREATLY AIDED

venienced by spring troubles. When on
rare occasions something does 60 wrong
with an automobile spring, 1t Is usually
found that one or more OF the leaves
that go to make up the springs have
been broken. In such q case, the ear
will need the attention Of good serv-
ice station. In the operation Of the
springs, the leaves slide on each other.
This being the case, there Is required
a certain amount Of fabrication for the
elimination of friction and noise.
Rust in the springs not ony affects
their operation but contributes to the
"squeakS" that annoy the average oc-
cupant Of an automobile. To eliminate
these defects the joints Of the springs
should be oiled occasionally.
The process by which the leaves are
fabricated is not q very easy one for
the owner Of . car. In other words.

weight they carry. This requires that
the body be lacked UP in some way.

slightly and putting lubricant ca them
through the crevices. Fortunately, this
difficult Job does not have to be done
very often.
While the springs are being lubri-
Gated the eye should be open for other
defects, such as loose nuts or broken

the axle Is liable to be thrown out Of
line, with consequent injury to tires
and the driving gear. In the case Of
the front axle, II the loose nuts are
not attended to, the steering may be
affected and "wobbly wheels" result.
Shock AbsOrbers.
The use Of shock abSorbers has gone
a long way to not only increasing the

tributed to the longevity Of their life.
It Is q well known fact that the break.
age of springs takes place in . rebound
and not during the actual compression
of the springs. Shock absorberS which
lessen the up movement of the springs
correspondingly limit the force Of the
rebound and the danger Of breakage.
In recent years there seems to be Q
tendency for manufacturers to provide
cover for the springs, which laees
over them and protects them against
moisture or dirt getting in between the
leaves and against the need Of lubrts
cation beyond that provided when the
automobile Is being made.
Along this same line Of protection
for the springs, mention might be made
of the independent springing system

Youthful Driving Bad.

This amount is more than twice
as many accidents as occur to
drivers in correspondingly older

with such youthful drivers as
become involved in traffic acct

outstanding features as a cause OF
the accident. Accidents among
this group of drivers show a
greater variety of surprising
causes than accidents occurring
to these of older-age groups.
The immature youth Is just in
discreet and often does the most
irrational and unusual things in
his driving. Frequently, in his
capriciousness, he takes other
drivers by surprise and accidents

DEPLETION OF GOODS
WILL BOOST TRADE
BY EvERIT b. TERHUNE.

What will bring about an upswing
in business?
The depletion of goods in the hands
Of the consumer and of materials in
the hands Of the producer
When will depletion reach the point
CT needful replacement?
believe that within 90 days we will
experience a powerful forward surge in
business that will be based on neces-
sary and wholesome demands for both
goods and materials.
Is our high standard of living justi-
fable?
Yes, according to all the rules of
economic progress.
Mention one reason why.
While population has been increasing
60 per cent. industrial production has
increased 800 per cent. This Stool
ratio means that people must use and
consume more things If industry is to
function economically. Our greatest
problem today is how to distribute
tickets purchasing power) more equit-
ably so that the necessary flow of pro-
cuction won't get diverted into barren
buying territory.
What is tMe status Of installment SELL
, ing at present?
Like other types OF sales, its volume
has decreased.
Does that mean that it is unsound?
No. Since its volume in proportion
to total sales has varied but little in
the past few years, it appears to have
proven its soundness in a period when
the rectitude CT financial and credit
structures Of all types has been severely
tested.

Bradstreet Survey Reveals
Factors Pointing to Early
Upturn in Business.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July IA midyear
survey of business by Bradstreet's, re-
leased today, points out that there are
a number of factors in the present stu
alton which give sound basis for opti-
mism as to the outlook for the last half
of 1881.
The survey finds that the most out
standing and basically important thing
year IVES the continuance Of the fall OF
commodity prices.
Although the Bradstreet commodity
price index had shown 25 per cent de-
cline from october l, 1929, to January
l. 1881. the index had an additional
drop of ~ per cent to July /.
However" the survey says, there are
some signs of resistance which distin-
guish the decline of the past half year
from the decline of $780, For two
months of 1881. April and July l. the
Bradstreet index has shown increases,
whereas there has been a steady decline
from october, 1929. to March of this
year. Judging the commodity price
movement from another angle, that of
the breadth of the upward movements,
modities are showing monthly advances
in the face of the general decline. The
total number of these advances In the
first six months of this year was ia
which compares with similar total of
80 in the corresponding period of 1890
| and with Sc in the last six months of
1880. Apparently a level of resistance
is being reached.
In conclusion. it need not be pointed
out that at this midpoint of the year
there is most remarkable balance be-
! tween the favorable and unfavorable
! factors in the economic situation. There
is one factor in the situation that is
wholly 'lnpredictable-the psychological
effect that even a small improvemen MT
can have on the general sentiment OF
business Business is apparently at
about the same point as it was six
months ago-perhaps better. and GER
tainly no worse. The temptation to
make prophecies at this time is great
but under the present circumstances
the most logical attitude would be to be
surprised at nothing"

Presidents Stand
On Short Selling
ROuses Criticism,
Minneapolis Chamber of
Commerce Head Defends
Speculative Practice.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, July l1-Charles T
Stevenson, president of the Minneapolis
Chamber of Commerce. today took ex-
ception to President Hoover's condem-
nation of short wheat sales by specu-
lators. He said, the trouble today i:
not too much speculation but too little >
He said that the Federal farm mar
keting act has been successful in bu;
one thing, and this is minimizing spec
ulation-aS matter of fact, it has
practically eliminated it."
This, he said, had the result of de-
pressing prices because it has removed
speculative energy, which ordinarily
would furnish support for buying OF
wheat. Buyers fear that the Federal
Farm Board might at any time become
an extensive seller" he said.
Stevenson called attention to the
presence of Federal supervisors in this
and other contract markets. to whom
sales must be reported daily. He said
he considered it strange in view of the
existence of these inspectors. together
with the powers under the Federal grain
futures act" that the alleged manipula-
ton reported to the President could
have or should have been permitted tc
continue without resort to the author
ity and measures which exist to proven;
manipulation"
In this unfortunate and futile con-
troverSy it should be remembered thai
the price of wheat was more than twice
what 1t is today when the Fedora
Farm Board first became a factor ;r
marketing, in August, 1929" Stevenson
said. 1T declared prices then prevail
ing were too low. No amount of eXpla-
nation or excuse can dispose of thi:
fact"

Former Exchange Head Defends Short

Former Exchange Head Defends Short
Sales.
CHICAGO, July IL R.-Joseph P.
Griffin, former president of the Chicago
Board of Trade, in a statement issued
today, said that unwise marketing policy
of the Federal Farm Board, rather
than short selling, was to blame for
declining prices of commodities. He
said:
Short selling has never been the
cause of permanent declines in COM
modities, although that fallacious be-
lief is widespread. The short does not
add one bushel or one bale to the
available supply of wheat or cotton,
but he does create two buyers-one at
the time he makes his short sale and
again when he himself covers his short
contracts.
THE prevailing low wheat values are
caused by overproduction. Current
prices of wheat in Chicago closely ap-
proximate Liverpool values, and at the
moment Chicago is about Is cents per
bushel above the normal parity with
Liverpool. We are now harvesting one
of the largest crops of Winter wheat
ever raised. The carryover of wheat
in this country and Canada from the
1890 crop, is unusually large, and this
holdover roughly wal satisfy about IS
per cent of our probable exports during
the 1872 crop year"

maintenance expenses. The quality OF
transportation will rapidly detsriorate
and everybody will suffer accordingly II
the railroads cannot earn fair r-turn
on their money and thus be unable TO
secure the necessary additional capital.
1.-The Government must treat thsm
fairly by allowing them to earn a falr
return and by ceasing to substitute the
railroads competitors by supplying ana
maintaining free right Of way for trucks
and buses for long-haul business and by
actually going into the business OF sup
plying transportation by water for its
own account. The Government is now
doing this not only without earning in
terest on the money invested but act
ually at an out-of-pocket expense each
year even before charging anything for
taxes, interest or maintenance OF the
waterways.
Pleads for Fair View.
People are entitled to the best ia
cilities possible at price which will
give a fair return on the money invested
and on an equal basis for all. In the
long run this will mean truck and bus
service for short haul and to and from
all small communities. which, in many
cases. is probably more economical than
quite likely It is also cheaper to move
traffic by water whenever such traffic
originates and terminates alongside of
the wat rways. II tonnage Is to be re-
loaded, the savings of hauling by water,
even over free right of way, disappear
very rapidly.
1.-THE American people must take a
broad-minded, fair view of the problems
before International and interna-
tional. If they fail to do so the pres. mt
period of depression may last indefi-
nitely."

COMMODITY PRICES
HELD ENCOURAGING
Recent Sterilization Called
Sign of Strength in Home
Business Structure.

Special Dispatch to The Sta-.
NEW YORK, July ll.-Security and
commodity markets show the enerva ting
effects of unduly drawn-out dickering
over the debt moratorium and Of in
creased skepticism regarding its ade-
quacy in meeting the European emer-
gency. both undoubtedly the outcome
Of exaggerated and impatient expecta-
tions, says the Business Week in its
report covering the week ending July IL.
The sterilization of commodity prices
in June is clearly encoursg ing, as are
many indications of strength in the
domestic business structure. The out
come of the seriously strained situa-
ton in Germany is still uncertain. and
the direction of domestic Federal Re-
serve policy cannot as yet be definitely
determined. But the European outlook
has unquestionably improved as re-
suit of the moratorium move and ener-
getic international financial co-opera-
ton, and the apparent indications are
that the Federal Reserve authorities
have embarked at last on an aggressive
expansion policy through open-market
operations.
Such a policy is not only enforced
by the necessities of the situation, but
supported by the unparalleled credit po-
sition of the Reserve System. If 1t is
pursued persistently every precedent OF
previous periods of recovery from de-
preston points plainly toward progress
sive and possibly rapid improvement.
The index for the latest week regis
tiers some slight reaction from the sharp
slackening of business in June, but 1t Is
still too early and too contrary to the
usual seasonal trend to expect any con-
elusive evidence of the immediate In
fiuence on the level of production and
trade of new psychological and financial
factors now in the picture. The index
for the current week reads at 75.5,
compared with 748 for the previous
seven-day period and with lola a
year ago
