HEAD OPTIMISTIC
Pontiac Manager Sees Con.
tinued Improvement in
Automobile Industry
BY HI. J. KLINGLER,

President and General Manager Pontiac
Continuing improvement in the au-
tomobile industry seems definitely in
dicated for 1887.
OF course, the welfare Of our mar
ket parallels closely the general trend
of national affairs.
But look for a minimum increase
Of 10 per cent in automobile output
If social, political or economic dis
turbances-not now visible-do not
cloud an improving national picture.
In support of that estimate are sew
eral encouraging developments which
seem to indicate bettering conditions
of fundamental character. Fore
most is the fine improvement in the
durable goods industries, without
which, economists have agreed, no
long-range period Of growth can be
achieved.
Steel held to an uncommonly high
Summer level. Railroads are buying
equipment again-rails and rolling
stock-even locomotives. Farm equip
ment industries show signs of vigor
after several years of uneasy going.
Even building and construction are
taking steel in volume-and this in
industries which were receding even
before the stormy October seven years
ago.
President Sloan of General Motors
stated last Spring that Americas pro-
duction plant Is now largely obsolete,
and America seems at last to have
started the process Of replacement.
Machinery worn out or obsoleted
through new discoveries, but which
has continued in use through lack Of
funds or the inclination to replace it,,
is finally reaching the scrap heap.
This process of replacement is giving

PROGRESS CITED
BY YAUTOOFF|C|AL
Auburn Company President
Pays Tribute to Toilers
Seeking Advance.
BY ROY H. FAULKNER,

President. Auburn Automobile Company
The standard of living in America
Is constantly on the upgrade. This
ability of Americans to better their
conditions is one of their inherent
greatnesSeS. It is the force that makes
for progress, that keeps us in world
leadership, that makes us q Nation
of individualists instead of a Nation
Of peasants.
Rich as is the Nation in natural re-
sources, these are as nothing to the
spirit of progress that is born in every
American child. The occupant Of
the humble home looks forward to the
time when he or she will take for
ward step on a new plane of living,
surrounded by the comforts and beau
ties of wealth. They know by hard
work, intelligent effort and stick-to-it-
iveness that new plane can be
reached and that there are no bars
of class, no ironclad rules of birth
that can hold them back.
It has often been said the average
American workman today lives better
than feudal king. So far as COM
forts and convenience are concerned,
this is true, but it has come only after
years of constant progress, OF reach
ing upward and beyond. Only through
the desire of the average American
to improve his conditions, to live bet
ter and to enjoy modern conven-
iences, has this been made possible.
Sometimes I think in the great pub
licity that is given to the unemployed
problem in America it is great and
something that deserves every atten-
tion) we forget the great army Of
people who are still progressing, still
employed, still living up to all the
ideals, and who still have the ambi-
ton to 60 forward, that made this
country great.
1t is this constant desire to lift
themselves up to new standard OF
living, to give their children better
things, to educate them and make
life a little easier that has brought
America, over period of many years,
to its new standard OF living. This
same desire to 60 ahead is always
with us and our present standards are
but a stepping stone in progress. AS
the great mass of people go forward
to new plane of living. those who
can afford 1t step up to higher
plane, leading the way. The individ-
ual costly product today becomes the
conventional mass product tomorrow.
Thus Is progress made.

MORE OIL USED

Slowly but steadily coming around
to the belief that lubricating oil Is
something to be used, not saved, auto
mobile owners are taking the step
that should cut repair costs and assure
them much more satisfactory per-
formance from their cars. To boast
Of exceptional oiseconomy used to be
the mark of good car keeping. Today
1t reveals a complete lack of knowl-
edge of the real purpose of fabrication.

Heater Note.

In attaching hot-water heaters to
engines equipped with aluminium heads
1t is better to draw water from some
point other than the head, as the
water may not be the hottest at this
location. Aluminium conducts heat
more quickly than cast iron.

Poor Idling Explained.

Poor idling Of the engine often Is
due to worn valve guides which permit
extra air to be drawn into one or two
of the cylinders This leans out the
mixture for these particular cylinders,
causing a drop in their power by COM
parison with the others.

WHERE DOES THE BALLYH0O

AL Smith, whose dislike for the New
Deal has never been concealed behind
more than a plate glass window, will
not support President Roosevelt. On the
other hand, he will call upon the Demo
Gratis of the country to repudiate the
New Deal chieftain. About it all swirls
a great deal of noise, photographs, quo
tations of prominent men and attacks
from both party camps. Somewhere,
very small voice seems to query: where
does that get u.s."
There is a tradition of free speech
in the United States which several mil
lion people would defend with their
lives-and never is that tradition chang
ed into reality more than in preslden-
tial campaign year. The trouble is that
there is too much speech free from
thought.
Down under all the foliage of politi-
cal oratory the thoughtful voter may
find as an issue the matter of what is
best for the country as whole. Polltl-
cal platforms, stripped of vote getting
clauses and political bombast, attempt
to set forth the views Of the major par
ties on this very matter. The trouble
seems to be that there are so many peo-
pie more concerned with personalities
than with issues-or it may be that
personalities require good deal less
of thought.
1t would be interesting, just once,
to see a political campaign in which
policies and proposals were explained
to the voters as they would be explain
ed about a board Of directors table in
a great business concern-with an en-
deavor to reach the best conclusion. But
it would be a great deal less interest
ing to the majority.

WHO SET THE FLAMES
THAT CAUSED THE SMOKE?

Where there is smoke, there is bound
TO be fire. 1t is an old saying, not neces-
sarily true, but one is inclined to believe
that there is fire somewhere behind the
smoke of the current state committees
inquiry into liquor law enforcement in
California. But what manner of fire is
it?
Liquor is in politics. It is the thing
which contributed more than anything
else to approval of prohibition laws.
1t is the worst feature of the liquor
trade-the corruption which follows in
its wake. 1t is not always corruption in
the usual manner of speaking however
and it may not be in the current in
quiry. No one knows now except those
directly involved, and no one may ever
know
The regrettable thing behind such
inquiries as that conducted by the legis-
lative committee is that they give the
politicians and would-be politicians
field day for charges and counter
charges which, somehow, are neither
proved nor disproved, but which never
the-less receive wide publicity 1t is the
best way in the world for those who teS-
tify or those who conduct the inquiry,
to pay off political grudges under the
protection of legislative immunity.
1t is quite evident that there have
been irregularities in administration of
CALIFORNIA; liquor laws. The thing that
is not evident is the quarter in which
the fault lies. The liquor setup is so
complicated that the blame may never
be placed upon its rightful owner.
There is one moral to it all.
Simplification of administration me-
thods are badly needed in California.
Where there should be one responsible
person, there are scores who might be
responsible now Where there should
be centralized authority, there is a mer-
ry mixup of diverse interests.
Not until there is one person, or
one single group of individuals who de-
vote their entire time to liquor law ad-
ministration, will California know who
is to blame for infractions against the
public good.

movement is gaining strength here and may
soon make some headway
Many of the boys and girls in the adminis-
tration are convinced that the postmaster gen.
eral-national chairman is showing up Liabli-
ty No l in the campaign and that practically
every time he makes public utterance the net
effect is all to the bad.
No one is trying to get Jim out of his job
campaign manager, but in many quarters
you hear the wish expressed that he would

fine himself to getting the votes.
The idea is that Farley may carry an ap-
peal in New York and perhaps New England
but that when you 60 west from there you start
running into an anti-Farley, anti-Tammany
prejudice which ought not to be inflamed.
There are other men who might speak up
for the party. It is argued for instance that
it would have been much better for Secretary
of Agriculture Wallace to have made the charge
that Governor Landon in 1888 favored paying
off the Fourth Liberty Loan in greenbacks.
AS handled by Farley, this one fell so flat
that Republican Chairman John Hamilton was
able to make a biting reply to Jim's ether re-
marks without being forced even to mention
the greenback charge.
1t begins to appear that some Democrats
willing to do practically anything to win
the election. Current charges that politics in
duced the administration to drop income tax
indictments against Huey Longs old leuten-
ants in Louisiana and that postmasters are
contributions have added to the odor of suspi-
cion
Republicans are enabled to point to Farleys
prediction that this would be dirty cam
paign" and hint that he referring to his
own plans
Since it obviously is Farleys job to take
care of such dirty work there is to be done
and because the more sordd we'll the
normal political Raneuvers have been under
mis- supervision, the picture of a rather sinister
fellow has been built up.
Various prominent New Dealers who con-
slider themselves ''purer" than Jim have helped
in the building And the picture becomes easy
to sell in areas where religious prejudice is still
strong.
Every insder knows the campaign will be
dirty" and that it will be dirty" on both sides.
Anyone who knows politics and politicians has
no right to expect anything else.
You can expect explosions soon from men
now working in the New Deal who are aching
to get loose and tell all,' perhaps for price.
Every administration has its skeletons and
recent inquiries from COP brain trust head
quarters lead certain officials to believe the
enemy already is seeking to piece together some
exposures which based on leaks from the

They serve a meal that totals about

DAY by DAY
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, June 24-With the
saxophone fading and the ukulele
almost extinct, the guitar is in
throes of revival. A guitar soloist
at Carnegie Hall this Spring pack
ed the hall. And there is scarcely
a revue or big radio show without
one of the expert twangers.
In midtown where the upstairs
music schools featured banjo, saXo,
phone and accordion, the advertise
ments now place the guitar first.
On Lexington avenue there is a
guitar college" In the musical
instrument shops around town the
windows display the guitar chiefly
Young folks on Long Island are
reported drumming in the moon
light and in the public parks at sun
down young romanticistS are bring
ing their guitars to practise. The
true guitarist, it is claimed, plays
better in the open air and still bet
ter with a filter of moon ray.
The back rooms of old time sa
looms always had an accomplished
guitar tWanger. Usually he had
hands suggesting the ourang-outang
and could reach any chord imagin-
able on the fretboard. He played
solely by ear and, no matter the
sharps and flats, he could always
improvise an accompaniment.
Walt Disney, on his recent visit
to town, talked chiefly of his an
imated cartoon production of that
gem of our childhood, Snow White

Grafton thrills to the reading of
Snow White, especially when the
despicable Queen said to her look

wall, who is fairest of us alp" And
how gratified we were when the
looking glass at last answered
Queen, thou art Of beauty rare
