Set Ne1U HIGH
Record of Sales

The American public went in for
reading Government publications in a
big way in the IL months ended June
80 last. an all-time high being reached
T.. the number sold, the public printer,
A. E. Giegengack, today reported to
Congress
Total sales for the fiscal year 1887
were sS13,24660, which was $780,
$40 81 over 1896. while the orders were
sos, 1923, an increase Of 1878 in a year.
But the public printer thinks that
even more can be done to help the
product into the best-seller class
such, for instance, as limiting free
distribution.
1T is believed that any action that
would tend to call the attention of
the general public to the fact that the
United States Government operates a
book store in connection with the Gov
ernment Printing once would be
worth while. as there is widespread
interest in Government publications, :"
he says. Their Importance to the
general public and to the business
interests of the country cannot be
fully estimated, and their sale and
distribution Is one of the functions
of this Office that brings to the public
q more intimate knowledge and ap-
probation Of what the Government
is doing to help them.
I'm any revision of the printing
laws that may be contemplated by
Congress, it is urged that considera-
ton be given to the curtailment Of
free distribution, and the substitution
therefor of a sales policy so as to
eliminate the waste that accompanies
the present method"

AUTO FIRM TO PUT
5000 BACK TO WORK
Hudson Company's New Car to
Boost Pay Rolls by ST.
250,000 a Month.
By the Associated Press.

DETROIT, Jan "A. E. Barit,
president of the Hudson Motor Car
Co.. told gathering of newsmen to-
day that his company will recall 5000
men to work within the next few
weeks" as part of plan to put men
and money back to work. At the
same time he announced the Hudson
Co. will start production this week on
new car ''in the lowest price field"
The recalling of 5000 workers, he
said. will increase the factory per-
sonnel to 10000 men and add $780,
900 to the monthly pay roll. He es-
timated that 1000 900 will be ex-
pended for tools, production materials
and other costs.
1T has become increasingly clear
to U.S. Barit said, that with busi-
ness slowing down as it has been
recently, We were in position to do
more than announce a new automo-
bile-we could in way set the pace
in the matter Of putting men and
money back to work.
If the automobile industry was able
to lead the way out of the depression,
it seems reasonable to expect 1t to do
something about leading the way out
Of the recession.
While there are confidence in
spring moves OF a general nature that
can and should be made, there is one
specific job for industry-that is tc
put more men and money to work
