DE soto PLANT
IN MINIATURE
HERE TOMORROW

Have you ever seen an automo-
bile factory?
If you haven't, the opportunity
will be literally brought to your
door tomorrow when through q
special arrangement made by Fred
Cross of Inland Motors, DeSoto AMI
Plymouth dealers, the $4,000 min
iature model Of the great DeSGto
factory in Detroit will be displayed
in its showrooms at 674 North
Main street.
This little factory, known as
the worlds most expensive ICY, ~
is an exact duplicate of the hugo
Detroit plant built down to scale
1t is 20 feet long and four feet wide
and actually assemblies little auto
mobiles. These little cars are two
and a half inches long and are
miniature duplicates of the new
DeSoto six.
Everything On One Floor
AS in the great DeSoto plant
itself everything is on one floor
level and all in one room without
a partition-the largest single room
in the world. This room is 50 well
lighted that only on extremely dark
days is any artificial light needed,
resulting in greatly increased COM
tort and efficiency of the Workmen.
AS in the actual plant, the min
iature in operation shows toy
assembly lines moving along; over
head conveyors bring material or
parts to Just the proper point on
the assembly line at just the time
needed; mechanical mules speed
along carrying out waste mat
ter. etc.
The visit of the DeSotO plant
miniature to this city is in the
course of a nationwide tour i'll
which the model is now engaged.
Although automobiles are among
the commonest utilities in modern
life it is estimated that not one
person in thousand has ever been
in an automobile factory. Because
OF this and as a result Of the tre-
mendous interest displayed in this
miniature in other cities, Cross i:
making every effort to accommo-
date the crowds who will inspect
the model on its visit here.
An added attraction will be tht
presesce of Peter DePaolo, famet
racing champion, who will be il
the showroom and explain the OPP
Grafton of the model. DePaolo'S
years Of experience on the speed.
way and in the factory equip hin
admirably for the work. He IS al
entertaining talker and in addition
to his description Of the model h,
will answer questions about it.

Plaintiff Loses
Suit Over Land

BY a decision filed in the county
clerks office yesterday afternoon,
Judge A. c. Finney held the Enter
prise Agricultural Association of
Sacramento has fully complied with
the terms of a lease. and that J. C.
Elliott King, plaintiff in the suit
against the association, is not en-
titled to recover possession Of the
land in question.
II was Kings contention the as
sociation rad failed to live up to
the terms OF the lease when it
failed to plant 40 acres of desert
land in alfalfa. Judge Finney held

planting Of the 10 acres, and that
the defendant had fully carried out
the lease terms by preparing and
planting 10 acres of land.
The Judgment filed yesterday af-
ternoon directed that King take
nothing by his complaint, and that
the defendant recover costs Of the
suit.

CHAMBER HOPES
, PLANE SERVICE
TO BE- RETAINED

Following announcement last
week that the air passenger service
from San Diego to Ell Paso is to be
cancelled, directors Of the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce are taking
the matter up with American Air
ways, which has purchased the
Century Pacific line, and will make
determined fight TO see that
service to this community is not
discontinued.
The El Centro chamber has taken
an active part for years in the
effort to have permanent air
passenger service for Imperial VAL
ley and has done much TO help the
Century Pacific line, which has
been operating through here for the
past year, to increase its daily
number of passengers. This COM
pany has operated successfully on
a regular schedule and with de-
pendable service and chamber rep
resentatives do not feel that this
service to the people of Imperial
Valley should be discontinued at
this time.
Robert Hays. manager OF the
chamber, contacted American Air
ways representatives urging that
khe company continue the San
biego-El Paso service as operated
by Century Pacific lines, immedia-
ately upon learning of the sale of
the latter company. Leo Hetzel,
chairman of the Ell Centro cham
ber and associated chambers of
Imperial county aeronautical COM
mittees, is at present at Santa
Maria where nc is attending the
meeting of the aeronautical COM
mittee of the state chamber of
commerce, and he has prepared a
resolution urging the continuation
of the San Diego-Imperial Valley
Ell Paso service and that the south
orn air mail be carried direct from
San Diego and Imperial Valley to
Phoenix, instead of the roundabout
route from San Diego through Los
Angeles, which is now followed. It
is expected that the state body
will endorse this resolution as they
unanimously endorsed a former
resolution urging that the southern
air mail be routed through Imperial
Valley.
The local service was discon-
tinued when the American Airways
purchased the Century Pacific line,
now serving this community, be-
cause it is not the policy Of the
American Always to operate
parallel lines. However, as the
southern air mail route, as origi-
nally planned, lead from San Diego
through Imperial Valley to
Phoenix, the local chamber is
urging that this original route be
followed and Hays states if Ameri-
can Always does not desire to re-
establish the local service the
chamber will attempt TO secure
some other air transportation linz
to serve Imperial Valley.

Jail Taxed To
Full Capacity

An unusual condition for The I'M
perial county jail was noticed to-
day when a survey of record books
showed 185 prisoners are now held
there and that more are coming
steadily.
1t is usual at this time of year for
the population of the cOuntys bas-
tile to show a decided decrease,
but at present there seems to be no
indication OF a cessation Of arrests
Activities of immigration officers
are largely responsible for the
crowded condition of the jail Pris-
oners booked on charges Of illegal
entry into the United States num-
Der 106, and six are held on federal
charges This leaves only 73 pris-
oners credited to the county and the
city of Ell Centre.
OF those held for the city and
county. most are either working on
the garden crew, garage crew or
chain gangs. Those not working
are held for trial, or have proven
themselves unlrustworthy.

EVIDENCE Of TURN
IS DECLARED DIM
Economy in Public Construc-
ton Has Increased Num-
Der of JObleSS.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, January 30.-Evidence
that December or January may have
marked the turning point in the de-
preston is uncertain, according to
facts reported by the Business Week.
No indications of general increase or
decrease in business activity are ap-
parent in the Week-to-Week records
since the beginning of the year. Steel
production has shown about the usual
seasonal rise under stimulus of increas-
ing automobile production, but steel
demand from other sources continues
slack Carloadings and electric power
output have not improved. Construc-
ton is being further curtailed by public
economy waves which are increasing
unemployment.
Securities markets are still listless,
facing unfavorable earnings reports and
lacking evidence of early business i'm
proVement. Commodity prices show no
sustained strength. Attention is now
centered on credit factors and business
hopes turn on the effective operation of
the Reconstruction Corporation.
After two years of delay, the folly Of
def1ation is now officially recognized,
and efforts to stimulate credit eXpan-
of inducing expansion through ordinary
CSSOAAAS
complicated and difficult. Foreign
interference is one obstacle, difficulty in
securing domestic commercial banking
cooperation another.
1t is becoming clearer in any case,
that mere maintenance or mild in
f1ation of security prices cannot in itself
assure increased employment, resumed
buying and business recovery. No
infationary effort can be effective in
these respects which does not directly
affect commodity prices, particularly
raw materials and farm products. For
this purpose direct currency expansion
IN consumption channels appears to an
increasing number of people a neces-
Sary supplement to credit expansion to
support security values, and congre5-
slonal discussion is turning in this
direction.
For the week ended January %, the
preliminary reading of the index of
the Business Week is set at 631, which
compares with 1914 for the same period
in 1881. The revised index reading for
the week ended January 16 last is 642

STEEL TRADE SEES
BETTER BUSINESS
Sentiment In Industry Is Bet
Ter Following Recent aaIr
In Orders,
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, February f-Sentimens
in the steel industry Is the strongest In
year, the magazine Steel says.
Improvement in steel is progressing
through slow, tortuous stages" the
magazine states in its weekly review,
with the easing Of the general business
strain and emergency enactmentS at
washington exerting favorable influ-
ence.
Better sentiment, the magazine contin-
ues, survives the dreary fourth-quarter
financial reports, which present only a
summation OF what already was known
and indicate that the losses do not rep
resent actual operating deficits, but
rather charge-offs which are a book
keeping operation.
"As January ended, steelmaking oper-
ations averaged 28I2 per cent, a gain
OF ! p per cent over the previous week,
with indications that the rate would
hold this week, an increase at Chicago
probably offSetting reductions at Pitts
burgh and Beffalo." The months aver
age production was 2512 per cent, a
rise Of 81 points.
Markets in the Middle West and
Far West appear to have a stronger
tone than those in the East Spring
requirements are in evidence, building
construction is more active, many mu-
inequalities are purchasing pipe. At San
Francisco over $4,000 tons of structural
shapes are up for bids: $4,000 tons are
required for Federal buildings at st.
Paul, Minneapolis and St Louis.
An otherwise good automobile situa-
tion is clouded by lack of knowledge as
tC Ford'S plans and apprehension that
he will name extremely low prices on
the revised four cylinder model.
AT Chicago and Pittsburgh sheet
bars are down 81. Bolts, nuts and riyets
are easier in the East on adjustments
to parity with the prices of Belgian
steel bars. Competition from foreign
sources is apparent in other directions.
Due mainly to the reduction in
sheet bars, Steels iron and steel COM
posite is of cents to S29 while a
reduction in galvanized sheets brings
the finished steel composite down 20
cents to S4722. The steel works scrap
composite remains S796"

Business Notes

NEW YORK, February 1.-Scheduled
February promotional events are said
to have brought many buyers here in
the past week who are chiefly in
terested in mems and boys clothing.
An especially good demand was re-
ported for mems tweed suits.
An offering of all-silk chiffon full
fashioned hosiery to department store
at SO cents a pair is reported from
Philadelphia. This is the low point of
the downward movement SO far as de-
partment stores are concerned. 1t is
understood that this hosiery was pur-
chased by the retailer from q plant
that has just been taken over by other
interests.
The coal trade is reported slightly
more active in consequence of colder
weather, but general conditions show
little change in favor of the market.
During the past week spot smokeless
coal at Chicago declined to $l.25 for
mine run and Sl.50 for lump and egg.
The canned foods market showed
little change last week and interest
was centered in the food conventions
in Chicago. 1t is reported in the trade
that prices Of Maine and fancy corn
are slightly firmer. Maryland to-
matoes are another firm item.
