TRADE SITUATION
IMPR OVES

The international trade situation
is reported by the State Depart
ment to have been greatly improv-
ed since France joined with Eng
land and the United States on an
agreement to maintain the parity
of their respective currencles by a
sterilization agreement. Last week
the remaining three nations which
are still on the gold standard joined
this international agreement. They
are Switzerland, Belgium and The
Netherlands, which is Holland.
One effect of this agreement in
regard to currency is expected to
be the working out of a means if
checking excessive exports OF gold
from one country to another.
President Roosevelt not long ago
expressed concern over what he
called shot money" coming into
the United States from Europe.
What he referred to was invest

With Christmas just two weeks
off, the pulse Of the city is quick
ening steadily with the approach OF
the Yuletide season.
Shelves and counters, groaning
with the burdens of holiday goods,
are Turing huge crowds of shoppers
daily and are being rapidly relie-
we'd of their weight. The generous
spending of these shoppers indicate
the current Christmas will be the
merriest since tn. palmy days be-
fore 1880.
Beautiful window displays in all
stores have also been installed,
much to the delight of the shoppers
Quite a number of lighted Christ
mas trees are also adding to the
decorations.

expressed the hope that the Social

Christmas.
The unemployment insurance

estimated $2,5O0,O0O in social Sc

the Governor said.
The 10 members of the Legisla-

party caucuses are the vogue.

Mobile Home
Outside of Law
| n d u stry Grew While
Legislatures Were Adj
j~ourned--Action Must
Be Taken

Detroit.-Because it is not a self
propelled vehicle, because it bid.
fair to become the quasi-permenent
home of many people and because
OF numerous other circumstances
more or less overlooked in its sud-
den development, the trailer, OF
mobile home," will come in for
considerable attention from the
dozen of State Legislatures that will
convene next month.
The trailer industry has grown
up rapidly during the last year
while most State law-making bod
les have been in adjournment. As
a consequence there are few State
laws controlling the merchandising
and operation of the parlor, bed
room and bath on wheels. The laws
that have been interpreted as ap-
plying to the vehicle lack unifor-
nifty and were enacted when trail
ers were designed for the hauling
of tools and not for human occu-
pancy.
The question of whether a trail
er is, in the eyes of the law, a hui
man domicile or an automotive We
hicle continues the subject of much
speculation although a Michigan
justice of the peace has ruled it to
be a dwelling and as such subject
to stringent building codes in
towns and other municipalities
where such regulations are opera
tive.
In some States, including Michi-
gan, licenses as automotive vehi-
cles are issued for trailers, SO that
technically they become both
dwellings and vehicles, but the ap-
plication of both codes presents a
situation awkward to both the
manufacturer and the owner.
1t is to clearly confusion such
as this that new laws will be
sought by trailer makers.
Whether the trailer can be in
sured and financed under the Gas
sification of an automotive vehicle
or as a domicile is another question
vital to the producers, distributor,
and operators of the product of
one of, the newest and fastest
growing industry in the country.
All established makers of trail
ers have set heavy production
schedules for next year. They
would like to know, however,
whether the home on Wheels is
to become the permanent home OF
a large number Of people or is to be
used mainly for summer camping
and tourisg. The problem of flu
ture designs is involved in the ans
wer to this question.
