AUTO PLAN GIVES
POTENTIAL BENEFIT
Change in Taking of Inven-
tories Seen Industry Aid
by E. T. Strong.
BY E. T. STRONG,
President Buick Motor Co,

The program promulgated early last
year by the board of directors of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce to change the taking of inven-
tories from Winter to Summer, with
corresponding change from Summer to
Winter for new model announcements,
has potential benefits that extend far
beyond the automobile industry itself.
Those benefits lie in the stimulation Of
the raw material markets during the
Winter months.
One of the aims Of all industrial en-
terpriSeS Is the maintenance of steady
markets. Regardless Of whether or not
the particular industry seeks its market
among users of raw materials, or among
those whose requirements are for fin
ished or partly finished goods, the de-
STABILITY Of enjoying sustained demand
throughout the year remains the same.
To this end much study has been
given by industrial leaders and sales
executives to the leveling off of peaks
and the filling in of valleys in the sales
curves that trace the yearly history of
almost every great business.
The above program was adopted to
remedy this and other problems for the
automobile industry. 1t was put into
effect last year by several manufac-
turers, Buick leading with its new
model in November.
Were this program to be followed by
the automobile industry generally, it is
not too much to say that it would go
far toward relieving Winter dullneSS in
many other Of the country's industries.
The motoring public is always inter-
ested in a new car. While the mid
Summer peak will no doubt continue,
nevertheless there are many thousands
of motorists who like to have the new
model of their chosen car as soon as
possible after 1t is announced. Then
too, there are advantages in having a
dependable new car during the Winter
or to be able to obtain the latest model
for vacation touring as early in the
year as one chooses
The automobile industry buys in the
open market everything it uses. It's
thousand and one demands reach to
almost every State In the Union. Thus
the introduction Of new sales peak In
the automobile industry Is reflected by
every enterprise supplying 1t with ma
terials.
The list OF raw and manufactured
materials going into the modern auto
mobile Is an extensive one. Its leading
items are steel, iron, rubber (manufac-
tured), plate glass, lumber, leather
aluminium, copper, tin, lead, zinc
nickel cotton, upholstery cloth, top and
side curtain material, asbestos for brake
Innings.
1t is also a large consumer of chem
icals, industrial oils, tool Steels, lubrt-
eating oils, gasoline, iron ores and coal
OF some of these materials, the auto
mobile industry Is the largest consumer
This Is true Of strip, bar and sheet
steel, or malleable iron, rubber, plate
glass, nickel and lead.
In the bringing in Of these commodi-
ties and in shipping its finished prod,
ucts, the automobile industry is large
user of both rail and water transporta,

Watch Gas Tank Cap.

When a motor balks the cause may
sometimes be traced to an old gas
tank cap The cap has vent to allow
air to reach the tank and maintain
air pressure on the gasoline to insure
the proper flow to the engine. After
long service. the vent may become
choked with rust or dirt, causing the
car to stall or buck, particularly on
long pull.

such as the Eastern Conference Of

1t will probably be conceded at once
that certain percentage Of accidents
are truly unavoidable. For the rest, 1t
can only be said that some one-driver
or pedestrian-was careless or reckless.
Some drivers have prediction to
accidents. Scientists have labeled them
the "accident-prone drivers" I doubt
not there are "accident-prone pedes-
trians" These are the "repeaters" in
automobile accidents. Science is now
at work wedding out these people,
checking by means Of their accident
records what is responsible for the
lapses that involve them in accidents.

TAXING LAWBREAKERS

The Senate voted during its recent
debate, for a 100 per cent tax on the
profits of low violation, an assess
ment afterward excluded. 1t would
be wonderful thing to collect such
a tax, but it takes vivid imagination
to see our notorious law violators
walking up to the captains office
like little men, and paying down 100
per cent of their wads.
When they do that, we may also
expect to see them playing innocent
games of authors in the parlor in
stead of drinking and gambling. 1t
may be possible to collect more
taxes out of these gentry, but when
they pay down 100 per cent of the
lawbreaking profits, we shall expect
to see them in the front seats at
church and Sunday school every
week. But such a law with enforce
ment will help convict victims ar
rested.

throw light on the future of Della

away with a pleasant impression,
feeling that it is a cordial, progress

that information around the coun-
try If he goes away with a con-
trary impression, no one will hear
any good words from him about us.
Wherefore it is well to greet the
stranger with a smile, give him lit
tie of your valuable time, tell him

N0MINATIONS FOR PRESIDENT

The most dramatic event in Ameri-
can politics occurs when the dele
gates of a great political party meet
to name candidates for president and
vice-president. The Republican con-
vention of this year,could not have
that dramatic quality, since its, de-
c:sion to renominate President Hoov-
or was settled in advance. But the
Democratic convention provides a
conflict of political elements similar
to many battles of teh past. s. &c.
A hush falls over the country. as
people listen for these fateful re-
suits. In every business. office, in
every workshop, people ask who are
chosen to lead these great armies of
voters. Great events of history, the
fate of nations, may be decided when
these candidates are named.
In the past, both political parties
have commonly made these choices,
so weighted with destiny, amid
scenes of intense emotional excite
ment. A candidate with the best
drilled army of gallery shouters,
having the most lung endurance, was
supposed to gain an advantage from
such support.
1t seems ridiculous that such Sc
rious issues, which touch our well
fare so intimately, should ever be
affected by such a superficial influ-
ence.
It would be better if these historic
meetings were held in some quiet
and secluded hall. But custom gives
these great .assemblages to the cities
that offer the best campaign funds,
or where sentiment favors this or
that candidate. The delegates to
such a meeting should attach no
weight to clamorous manifestations.
The relative amounts of noise made |
by the rooters for the various can
didates proves nothing as to their
relative popularity on the quiet
farms and in the busy streets of
trade.

THE GRADUATE,S OWN DAY

One of the turning points of life is
the day when anyone graduates from
a school or college. A hill top
scene, truly. when one surveys the
tOilsome. and dusty path over which
one travelled. Also one peers into
that fascinating and mysterious fu-
ture, behind which one feels so many
glorious scenes are concealed.
College graduates, wise young per-
sons, often look at commencement
day as bore. Many of them would
prefer kicking up some dizzy dance,
to having a stiff diploma tied up with
blue ribbon, poked at them by some
venerable trustee. However, all
these youngsters know at heart that
their labor has been rewaTding, and
they have found meanings in life
never imagined before.
High school graduations are scenes
of equal enthusiasm and charm. The
boys eXude manly vigOr, the girls
sweetness. in solid chunks, but these
qualities are not invariably exhib-
tied the next day when they are
asked to hoe the garden or cook din
ner. But these youngsters are the
darlings of their communities and
the expectation is that they are head
ed for the White House or will at
least thrill the world.
Even in the modest grammar
school, or the Little Rural School
house, the exhibition day when the
top class is passed on, is an event
the importance of which is never sur
passed by later occasions, in the
minds of the participants anyway.
You can never make the parents be-
Heve there is "a decline of genius, as
they listen open mouthed to the per-
formances of their offspring. i
Young folks do not probably lis
ten to serious graduation addresses
as they used to. However, the grad
uating class advertises education. 1t
persuades youngsters that the way to
life lies through that gateway labell-
ed knowledge.

INDEPENDENT COMMUNITIES

It is noticeable that the communi-
ties that have come through the past
three years in the best shape, are
those that satisfy their own needs to
a large extent. A town in which the
factories largely, live by supplying
the nearby country, and where the
nearby country largely lives by sup
plying the central town, is not suf-
fering much from the alleged depres-
sion. 1t is better off than some big
factory center that has to depend on
markets scattered over the world.
