Frisco Food Problem Solved Writer Enjoys
Berries for Breakfast Hopes for Haircut

DUT it was by the permission
~ of the union permit commit
tee that I brought home a thick
red sirloin steak from the butch
er's.
The strongly organized meat
cutters said they had stocks in
their refrigerators since their
closing Saturday that they would
like to dispose of. The unions
said, Go ahead, dispose of them
Wednesday,"
The one-day opening brought
swarms of customers. Like Lie

canned meats.

FRISCO Is JUBILANT:
NOW CAN BUY MEAT
AND GAS FOR AUTOS

BIZ tuicd Press
SAN FRANCISCO, July 10
Here are some things you can do
today in San Francisco you
couldn't do yesterday.
Buy a ticket for an ocean trip
leaving San Francisco.
Ride a Market street railway
car maybe and if you want too.
Eat in your favorite restaurant.
Fill the gas tank of your car.
Buy meat.
Obtain fresh fruit and vege-
tables and many staple groceries.
But you still can't:
Call a taxi.
Get a haircut.
Get laundry done.
Get freight hauled.
Ride a key-route ferryboat.
Get your pants pressed.
Buy a good many things you'd
like to have.

The three-day vacation the
butchers had apparently improved
their dispositions The man who
sold me the steak cut off a thick
piece of fat without weighing it.
Now the butcher shops are open
indefinitely. The permit commit
tee modified its one-day order to
let the meat business resume on
normal basis.
With the food problem solved,
the only essential services still
stagnated by the strike are bar
bering, cleaning and pressing, and
laundry work.

CHEVROLET SALES SHOW IN.
CREASE

Chevrolet's recent announcement
of price reductions on it's entire line,
and the public interest focused on
these cars at the General Motors Elk
hibits in 81 cities, are cited by w. e.
Holler, Chevrolet general sales man
ager, as an explanation of the COM
pany's unexpectedly heavy sales
thus far in June.
Instead of sharing the IL per cent
business recession predicted by ex-
perts for the industry as a whole,
Chevrolet showed 10 per cent gain
ober its sales volume for the same
period in May, and also hung up a
substantial increase over early June
sales Of last year.
On the strength of dealers re-
ports Immediately after the price
reduction, which was announced
June 2, production schedules for
June were revised upward, ap-
preaching the 100000 mark achiev-
g dearlier in the year. Now that
actual retail deliveries are in for
the first Today period, complete
justification of the upward revision
is seen and factories will be operat-
ing near capacity well into July at
least.
"The immediate surge in sales"
said Mr.. Holler, will have a far
reaching effect. 1t means fewer
layoffs by far, than are customary at
this season of the year. Not only in
our own plants throughout the
United States, but in hundreds of
allied industries which provide us
with parts and materials, the gain
| in Chevrolet sales will make itself
substantially feit, ,.n.- II his way,
will tie in closely w4,n lit nations
recovery program"
The price reductions, as much as
$50 ON some models, affect the en-
tire line of Chevrolet knee-action
Master models, the new improved
STANDARD six, and all Chevrolet
trucks.

MOTORING ON THE UPTREND

The outlook for motoring never
was so bright as it is today, accord
ing to the Keystone Automobile Club
of Maryland, which points to the I'M
mistakable signs of recovery in the
automotive industry as presaging
the dawn of an era marked not only
by the ownership of new cars, but in
the development of the nations
highways to meet the needs of a
vastly increasing motor vehicle reg
istration.
Albert E. Buckley, Manager of
the Club, issued a statement show
ing that motoring is decidedly on the
upward trend.
AS nation Of motor vehicle
owners" says the statement, "the
United States is pre-eminent ia
world leadership. The most disas-
trous depression in history had COM
paratively little effect on car owner
ship. Registrations declined only 9
per cent from the all time peak III
1880, when 26,545,281 vehicles
were registered in the United States
And now the pendulum is on its
upward swing. New car sales are
increasing in volume; registrations
throughout the nation are greater
than they were last year. But the
most significant fact of all is the
wide open market for the new pro-
duct of car manufacturers. No few.
er than 100000 motor vehicles are
tx years old or older. Their re-
placement is inevitable, il we can
assume that American motorists are
going to continue to own and oper.
ate cars in the future as they have in
the past, and we think there is nc
doubt of that.
while motorists are planning
and making requirements, the ma
tion's roadbuilders are increasing
the facilities for motor travel. OF
the 100000 miles of highways in
the country, some 100000 are sur
faced. OF this number approxima-
tely 10000 miles are of hard sur.
faced, long wearing material. We
believe car ownership will follow In
direct ratio to the facilities created
for motor use, and we are looking
forward to increasing attention tC
Highways, with motorist taxes used
exclusively for road extension and
improvement"

COURTESY WEEK

Independence Day will be safe
and sane Fourth In more ways than
one IL the plans of e. Austin Baugh-
man, Commissioner of Motor Vehic-
les carry through successfully. The
Commissioner has designated the
period from July / to inclusively
as Courtesy Week" during which
time motorists of Maryland will be
reminded and urged to exercise
courtesy while driving ON the thor
oughfares and highways of the
State. The campaign this year will
be the third annual Courtesy Week
held under the direction of the auto
mobile Commissioner.
Courtesy Week" was originated
by Colonel Baughman in 1892 in an
effort to make motorists conscious
of the dangers of the highways dur
ing the peak traffic season when
thousands drive their cars on the
thoroughfares and highways to and
from vacation. The results in the
past two campaigns have justified
the effort expended according to
Colonel Baughman and he earnestly
requests the cooperation of the
motorists the state in reducing
fatal and other accidents to a mini.
mum.
Lack of courtesy ON the part of
some drivers on the highways"
Colonel Baughman said, results in
many accidents each year. To exer-
else the same courtesy towards other
drivers on the highways that one
does in his home toward a guest
would go far toward eliminating ac-
cidents. This is the purpose of
Courtesy Week.
at is a fact that more fatal acct
dents occur during the week of the
Fourth of July than at any other
similar period of the year. This is
understandable when it is consider
ed that traffic increases with the
holiday. All we can hope to accom-
plish is to keep the number of acct
dents to a minimum.
Fatal and other accidents are so
needless. If the motorists of Mary
land will cooperate by obeying the
Motor Vehicle Laws, giving the
proper hand signals when leaving
the curb, making a right or left
hand turn, or coming to a stop, as
well as respecting stop streets and
others rights-of-way, they will be
doing no more than the courteous
thing and will eliminate many of the
needless accidents
Special efforts" Colonel Baugh-
man added, twill be made to induce
Maryland drivers to be especially
conscious of the courtesies of the
road while visiting other states, and
it will be expected of out-of-state
drivers to be likewise while visiting
Maryland"
Courtesy means sane driving"
will be one of the slogans displayed
during the campaign.

MANY POPULAR VEGETABLES
ARE OF AMERICAN ORIGIN

Although few Americans may be
aware of the fact, this country has
supplied the world with quite
stable list of important and much
used vegetables, it ia stated by Wall
ter r. Ballard, horticulturist for the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, who says that while the list
is not long it is relatively important
in the vegetable kingdom. The list
includes such well-known garden
products as beans, sweet corn, pep
pers, pumpkins, squash, tomatoes.
and white and sweet potatoes.
1t has been only in comparatively
recent years that the food value Of
tomatoes has been recognized, he
says, as for long time they were
considered only ornamental and
poisonous if eaten. Today, how
ever, this vegetable is very popular,
both as fresh and canned product,
due, very likely, to the fact that it
contains three important vitamines.
In addition, Mr. Ballard points out.
sweet corn, fresh from the garden
and steamed so as to lose none of its
delicious flavor, is a most popular
summer dish. and pumpkin pie has
become tradition in the American
home at Thanksgiving time. II is
stated that, as most of these pro-
ducts thrive best in comparatively
hot climate, they do better in this
country than the European types,
which demand cooler conditions.
According to Mr.. Ballard, the total
value of white potatoes alone in the
year 1888 amounted to 1922. 667,-
900. or ~ per cent of all truck
crops grown, and the farm value OF
all vegetables Of American origin
represents s2.5 per cent OF all vege,
tables produced IL this country.
