j. s. SPENDING
SEEN AS HELP
TO MARKET
By THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June 20 U.NSO.
The market brought some sour
faces back by failing to stage the
expected celebration" on the ad.
journment Of Congress.
Traders ae easily disappointed
these days, and as a result were
selling stocks pretty freely yester-
day.
This, though, can hardly be
termed a reason for changing
ones attitude about the markets
summer prospects, since business
stimulation through large-scale
Government spending will be the
dominating factor plus the inf1a-
tionary ideas which will 60 along.
We hear some Of the big boys
who did well in wheat last month
are looking the cotton situation
over.
Chicago buying in cotton has
been rumored for several days. An
influence is the fact that wheat
will do well to hold this month in
view Of the heavy hedging against
the new harvest.
Brokers report some orders from
Pittsburgh in Westinghouse on re-
dictionary spots. The sharp in
crease in consumption Of petro-
leum products abroad is becom-
ing an important earnings factor
for. the companies that do bust
ness outside this country.
Smart people are looking for
an early start on a drive to
"whoop things up" and help
business this summer,
It can't be delayed very long
if things are actually to be hum
ming in the fall, and this is vital
politically in view of the congress
sional elections in November.
A radio talk to the nation by
President Roosevelt, which has
been rumored, may be the signal
for business to go ahead and for
get its uncertainties.
Some of the big Wall Street
operators are waiting for the
President to name the members
Of the Market Control Commits
sion before getting active.
We hear May cigarette produc-
ton was we'll above April but un-
der a year ago. Output last
month is placed around 1000
billion cigarettes, which would be
20 per cent over the month be-
fore but about 1917 per cent un-
der May, 1888.
The big reason for the decline
under a year ago was that the
1888 month saw the industry'S
record high production under
speculative buying by jobbers and
dealers in sympathy with the in
flationary d e m nd for about
everything else at that time. ..
We hear the crowd in American
sugar has been dabbling in Great
Western Sugar.

General Motors Official
Expects Business Revival
Prosperous Period to Last
Several Years, Says
Research Chief.

81 can not help but feel that in
a very short time we are going to
break loose another great piece of
basic information which will keep
us industrially busy for a great
many years to come" declares
Charles F. Kettering. vice-president
in charge of research, General Mo-
tors Corporation, in the foreword
of a review of the effects of research
on automobile development, just
published by General Motors re-
search division.
According to this booklet, entitled
"Research-An Eye to the Future, .
gueSswork on automobiles has been
eliminated largely by three types of
research. One is the laboratory re-
search work of the engineers; an
other is the practical testing of the
product at the proving ground, and
third is the systematic questioning
of car owners as to their needs and
desires, known as customer research.
The fact that greater employ
ment is one of the fruits of research
is demonstrated in the booklet.

INSIDE COUNTS
IN BATTERIES
Art Rose, VeSta Dealer,
Cites Advantages of
Plate Lock.

Many motorists seem to have the
idea that because all batteries look
about alike on the outside that they
are all equally good" said Art Rose,
head of the Rose Tire Company
Inc, $50 North Meridian street, in
a discussion of battery troubles.
"A battery is like a watch-it is
not the case-but the inside works
that count, and this is fact some
motorists overlook" he asserted.
of course, we of the VeSta family
consider ourselves fortunate in hav-
ing a battery that is right all the
way through. Furthermore, the
plate-lock feature inside the Vesta
battery, minimizeS the possibility of
plate-buckling, thereby adding many
months of battery life. That, I be-
lieve, is the underlying reason why
so many motorists choose Vesta in
preference to other makes"

GLASS SMASHED IN
FAIR DEMONSTRATION
BaSebaIIS Hurled at Plate
and Safety Types.

Thousands Of square feet of safety
glass were deliberately smashed at
the worlds fair in Chicago this year
to show the greater protection Of
fered by safety glass in automobile,
railroad and other modes of travel.
Out of more than 100000 per-
sons who visited the demonstration
exhibit of a group of glass manu-
facturers, more than 100000 tried
their pitching skill by hurting base
balls at squares Of plate and safety
glass to convince themselves, as we'll
as the crowds watching, that the Or
binary glass shattered and flew
while the safety glass merely
cracked.
Officials announced that at this
one exhibit alone more than $4,000
square feet of safety and plate glass
were broken for demonstration pur-
poses. Small samples of the safety
glass were given to 10000 visitors,
besides 10000 lucky coins and 1OO,-
900 pamphlets.

SKIDDING ADDS
TO LENGTH Of
ACCIDENT LIST
Declared Worse Menace
Than BIoWoutS by
Goodyear Man.

There's been a lot Of talk, re-
Gently. about the danger from blow
outs in tires. but mighty little
about a far greater danger-skid-
ding" declared F. NJ. Bancroft,
manager Of Goodyear Service, Inc.
The big worry Of the average
motorist should be skidding-not
blowouts," he continued. "Skidding
causes five and one-half times as
many accidents as blowouts, as has
been proved by insurance records.
"A series Of 8,4OO tests recently
conducted show that smooth tires
skid n per cent farther than do
new Goodyear 'G-3 All-Weathers.
with their sharp, gripping diamond
blocks in the center of the tread
where they are most needed for a
sudden stop.
The same tests showed that other
makes Of new tires skid from IA to
10 per cent farther than Goodyear
'G-3s." he asserted.
The winter months will be here
soon. and motorists who are driving
on smooth tires would do well to
buy new ones before long. The old
statement that brakes will stop
your wheels, but tires must stop
your car is never so important as
during the months when wet, icy,
slippery streets are encountered.
For maximum safety to himself
and others the car owner should
equip his machine with tires that
grip.
Another important thing is that
tires bought now will give longer
mileage, due to the fact that they
Will be broken in on cold roads in
stead of the hot surfaces found in
the summer. Heat is a natural
enemy of tire life-so new tires now
mean approximately 30 per cent
more mileage" Mr.. Bancroft con-
Guided.

When Austin Elmore, prominent
autOmotive test engineer and Ford
V-8 enthusiast, returned to his home
in indianapolis last week, he had
an interesting story to tell of Ford
va performance with Ring FIR 2
motor oil, according to E. E. Reed,
manager of Fouts Car and Truck
Company, local Ford dealer.
Mr.. Elmore arrived in indianapolis
from Seattle, where he had assisted
his friend, Colonel Roscoe Turner,
in taking delivery of his new twin
motored Boeing transport plane, en-
tered in the MacRobertSon interna-
tional air race from London to Aus
tralia. Through his efforts, Colonel
Turner was given the use Of new
Ford va during his stay in Seattle.
Mr.. Elmore, holder Of many world
economy records, is now engaged in
test work and promotion to increase
economy in automobile operation.
He declares that tests have proven
to him the outstanding depend
ability and economy of the Ford V-8.
Colonel Turner and Mr.. Elmore
agreed upon the dependability and
economy of Ring-F'ree motor oil.
Colonel Turner used Ring Free on
his recent record-breaking flight
from Los Angeles to New York in
ten hours, 2 minutes, and has Or
dered a supply shipped ahead for
his forthcoming London Australia
hop. Recently Mr.. Elmore used the
same lubricant in his Ford va to

Angeles and San Francisco, and an
