BUICK EXPORT
VOLUME HAS
FINE GROWTH

FLINT, Mich, June 80. (SpeciaD
Exports of Buick motor cars
since the first of the year are near
ly double the entire volume of 1888
and the year promises to be by
far the best since 1880, Harlow H.
Curti, president of the Buick Motor
company, announced today in
message to Jno r. Robertson, val
ley Buick distributor.
The company foreign business
during the first five months was
more than three times as great as
in the corresponding period of a
year ago, he said, and June and
July shipments will exceed any
month thus far this year.
1.-The trend of Buick exports
since 1929, reflects the tariff pol
icieS of foreign countries and other
economic factors affecting foreign
trade during the past five years.
Curtice said. "In 1929, Buick ex-
port figures show, total of 19,450
cars were shipped to foreign ports.
This dropped to 10,258 in 1890 as
world markets began to feel the
general business recession. In the
following year, drastic tariff meas
ures put into effect by overseas
countries were reflected in slump
in Buick export shipments to 4,514
units and foreign business contin-
ued to recede in 1882 and 1888
when 2,126 and 2,052 Buick cars
were shipped.
1.-The ill-effects of unfavorable
tariffs, however, have been con-
siderably offset recently by the
cheapness of the American dollar
in foreign markets with the result
that exports, at least SO far as
Buick is concerned, have rebound
ed sharply"
Nearly Double Volume
In the first five months this year,
Curtice pointed out, Buick exports,
stood at 1928, within 300 cars of
doubling the entire export volume
of last year.
"The five-month total was more
than three times as great as in
the corresponding period of last
year, when 1,244 cars were shipped
to foreign ports,' he said. "More-
over, the volume now is increas-
ing with the result that there are
more Buick exports scheduled for
June and July than were shipped
during all of last year. The June
export requirements are for 1,010
cars while those for July are for
1,127 cars.

for the remainder of the year are
the basis of a conservative factory
estimate of export shipments for
1884 of $3.50 units, the best since
1880 and close to the level of that

DIVIDEND FOR
TRANSAMERICA
STOCKHOLDERS

Directors of Transamerica corpo-
ration today placed the company's
capital stock on an annual dlvl-
dena basis of 25 cents share with
the declaration of a dividend OF
1917 cents payable July 81 to stock
of record July II. The same
amount was paid on January 81.
The aggregate amount OF the
disbursement, which will be paid
to holders of 23,682,231 outstanding
shares, is $2,96O.279, and brings the
total amount of dividends declared
to date in 1884 to $5,920,5l9. Cali
forpia will receive the maximum
benefit from this increase in pur~
chasing power, as approximately 80
percent of the total dividend &C
crues to residents of this state.
In announcing the July dividend,
L. NJ. Giannini, chairman Of Trans
americas executive committee, sad,
"The current disbursement brings
the total amount of dividends to
stockholders of Transamerica cor
poration and its predecessor to
more then S113,000,000.
while no definite figures on
earnings for the half year period
can be compiled at this date, recent
estimates have established the fact
that consolidated earnings OF
Transanerica corporation and sub
salaries for the past six months
have covered the dividend for the
period by substantial margin. The
corporation continued to show prog
ress during the past half-year with
marked gains in profits over the
corresponding period of 1888"

LEAF TOBACCO
RANKS WELL
IN EXPORTS S

Leaf tobacco was the third most
valuable export product of the
United States last year, according
to a study just completed by the
chamber of commerce Of the Unit
ed States. Foreign sales of leaf to-
bacco amounted in value to $82,-
094,000 in 1888 as compared with
$64 ,983 900 in 1892 They consti-
tuted per cent of the total value
Of United States exports last year.
Exports of American cigarettes
even exceeded foreign sales of
wheat and of corn in value last
year, according TO this report. EX-
ports OF cigarettes were valued at
s4,395 900 in 1893 as compared with
value of S4,769 900 for wheat ex-
ports and total of s2,653,0 900 for
corn exports.
One of the important factors ac-
counting for the volume of for
eign sales of cigarettes produced in
this country is the worldwide rec
ognition Of their quality, Ameri-
can ingenuity being responsible for
many improvements in this pro-
duct, such as the use of only the
mild center leaves of choice tobac-
cos, the introduction Of the toasting
process and other modern man
ufacturing methods The total
production Of cigarettes in the
United States last year exceeded

With the arrival of Gene Ford

ing, things will begin to pop to-
morrow night in the National Press
Club auditorium where the first
additions are being held to select
a cast for the second edition of
LoeW'S Fox "All-Washington"
revue. This revue will be the
stage attraction at the Fox for the
week beginning Friday, August 10.
Word was received from Mr..
Ford last night to the effect that
he has already determined the
type of revue that he will produce
and declares that it will surpass
last years revue in every way. So
set are his ideas that he has al
ready ordered special scenery and
lighting effects, together with
shopping at Mahieu'S for appro-
pirate costumes for the entire cast.
Just like last year, Carter
Brown, Loew's divisional manager,
and Mr.. Ford, plan to make the
entire revue up of local talent.
Just like last year, anyone with
aspiring talent will get an oppor-

It's all very exciting and some
thing new for the summer spec

at the admission gate and, after
you are in, $1.65 will get you
into the grand stand enclosure

tickets which give you admission
for one dime, except on Satur-

How can you tell on what dogs
to bet? Well, they sell a pro-
gram for IS cents, which con.

Also, there are the track handi-

pert picked two of eight carded
races Sunday night.

Sometimes, if you're unlucky
like Mrs. Bill (Columbia) Fisher,
you bet So on a hound which
suddenly decides it's too hot to
run and just lays down on the
tracks. Or again. you may be
like Rodney Collier, who was
present Saturday night and
plucked a 500 long shot out Of
the bag. Or, you may be like
your correspondent, try to beat
the experts and come home with
a few tickets for souvenirs.
They also sell-and it is most
popular-the daily double ticket.
This is not a parley, but is based
on your ability to pick the win
nerS of the first two races. If
you succeed, you share in a pot
containing all that is wagered.
Last night, Mrs. Fred Osterag, of
Margate, was among the group
that collected $211 for each 50
ticket.
