Made life divine;
But age enricheth true love,
Like noble wine

And songbirds flown,
Well twine, then lay us, griefless
Together down.

Low CAR STOCKS
HELD GOOD SIGN
Dealers Carry Only About
100000 as New Model
Period Nears.
BY the Associated Press.

6y tIlO ASbOCidLeQ fTebS.
DETROIT, August 29.-Ore of the
most recent surveys Of the merchan-
dising division Of the motor car indus
try indicates that dealers currently
are carrying approximately 100000
passenger cars and trucks, a little
more than a months output on an
average level for the year.
This situation leads manufacturers
of motor vehicles to believe they have
conquered another major problem Of
the industry-that Of approaching the
new model period with a minimum
surplus on hand. Indications are that
when the industry generally gets into
new model work the carryover of 1885
models will be the smallest the in
dustry has experienced in many years.
Surplus Large In 1929.
More than 100000 units was the
surplus production of 1929, when the
aggregate output reached 100000
cars and trucks. 1t required many
months for the dwindling demand to
absorb this overproduction.
The current volume of cars on hand
figures out roughly at about six We
hicleS per dealer, including in the cal
culation units in transit as well as
those on dealers floors. An even fur
ther reduction Of the total number on
hand Is indicated in the firmneSS of
retail demand and the sharp reduction
in output @ 1885 types during the
last few weeks.
There has been q material curtail-
ment in production, although some
producers found it necessary to re-
S e assembly operations on current
models after closing down for the an
nual inventory and vacation periods.
These shutdown periods usually are
followed by full-speed operations on
new types, but consumer demand pre-
vented it in the case of several manu-
facturers.
Closings Are Delayed.
Indicative of the trend of retail de-
mand was the experience Of several of
the low-priced car producers this year.
The Ford Co. planned to close on
July 26 for two weeks. Actually, it
produced 1880 cars and trucks dur
ing the week of July 90 to August 3,
and when operations started up again
on A; 5ust IL work was on 1885 models.
In the case of Chevrolet, the labor
trouble early in the year at Toledo
sharply curtailed production for a
couple of weeks, but with its adjust
ment the company started in again at
high speed and has led the industry
in total assemblies for many weeks.

APPEALS
BY THE GooDFELLow EDITOR

BY THE GOODFELLOW EDITOR
A carpenter writes that he will
sell his tools to make his 7-year'
old boy happy at Christmas un'
less some Good Fellow comes to
the rescue.
In his letter the carpenter
says:
I'm out of work. Grey
hairs and eyeglasses keep me
out Of work. l can prove this.
/ don't want anything for my
self. But my 7-year-Old son
looks for and expects some
thing. We've barely made out
since Saturday, eating just
pancakes.
But I want work, not
charity. l can do good work,
If I do wear 'chsaters' and
have grey hair. l will sell my
carpenter tools to make my
boy happy Christmas morn
ing"
We cannot read letters like this
one without wanting to be Good
Fellows. 1t doesn't take much
money to be a Good Fellow. Some
thing for the youngster and per
haps a basket of simple food will
make this family happy on the
holiday.
Appeals Pour In
Such simple, touching, appeals
for help are still pouring in by
the dozens and many more Good
Fellows are needed to answer
them. Otherwise there will be
many children who will awaken
Christmas morning to find that
Santa Claus has passed them by,
and many heart-broken parents
will not be able to look at their
children whose belief in Santa has
been shattered.
An 11-year-old boy, who has
Just returned home from a T. B.
Sanitar1um, writes in asking some
Good Fellow to provide him and
his five-year-old brothe', also a
tuberculosis sufferer with sweat
ers. In his letter he lays.
my little brother needs the
sweater most of all, although
would like to have one, too.
My daddy is on relief, so you
see we can't afford to buy
hardly anything"
Just. imagine how happy these
two boys would be if they got up
Christmas morning and found
bright new warm sweaters. AS
young as this 11-year-old lad is,
he has learned early the grim
side Of life.
Need Sweaters Most
He knows that toys are out Of
the question for poor little boys"
Therefore ne asks for the things
they need most Of all-sweaterS
to keep their little fraI bodies
warm.
The Washington Times will
provide the names of as many
persons, or families, adults or
children, as the Good Fellow
wishes. If you wish to help,
please notify the Good Fellow
Editor as early as possible. You
can do so by mail, telephone, or
in person at The Washington
Times Building between the hours
of IN a m and 7 n m.
