Production Of 80,030
Cars Reported at
Motor Plants
Weeks Duto Contrast
With 1885 Recorded
In Previous Period
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Nov. Awards Auto
motive Reports today estimated out
put Of the motor car plants this
week at 10000 cars and trucks, COM
pared with 1885 last week and
89,770 this week a year ago.
1t estimated also that the ag-
gregate production for November
would total 1865 900 units. Assemblies
last November were slightly over
$4,000 cars and trucks.
The accelerated tempo currently
manifest in the motor car industry
may be expected to continue we'll be-
yond the first Of the coming year. in
the opinion of most trade observers,
who believe the complete stocking
of dealers floors cannot be accom-
plished as rapidly this year as has
been the usual practice.
The answer to this is that cur
rent consumer demand appears to
be absorbing most of the factory
output, with an accumulation of
dealer orders at every factory
One of the most encouraging facts
in the present situation, say the
sales executives, is that the better
general outlook is bringing into
the market greater number Of
buyers desiring to replace cars five
or more years old.
This means, say the distribut-
ing authorities, that a large num-
ber of sales will be made that in
volve the acceptance in trade of
vehicles that may be detoured di-
rectly to the scrap heap rather
than to the reconditioning depart
ment for resale. The volume of used
car sales shows no material de-
cline despite the upsurge in new
car deliveries.

|OId Canal Debts
| Appear After
| Many Years
81 the Associated Press.

Gy INC ASSOCldtcu FIcSS.
BALTIMORE & Ohio
Railroad officials are having busy
time of it these days advising in
quirers that longstanding obligations
of the defunct Chesapeake g. Ohio
Canal-some nearly 80 years old
are worthless now.
Since the Federal Government
purchased the canal from the rail-
road as potential national park
and recreation area, the B. & o. has
received numerous letters asking in
formation about the old debts.
Edgar Young of the B. g. o. legal
staff, said the answer has invariably
been an unqualified mo" to sugges-
tions of payment.
"The canal, it seems, issued script
and certificates of indebtedness
dating as far back as 1885," he ex-
planned today. 1--WE have informed
holders of such papers that they
have no practical value now-they
were not.recognized by receivers for
the canal and we shall not recognize
them"

yesterday that the German occupa-
ton of Sudetenland probably would
reduce the sale of foreign glass in
this country.
Cabled reports to the department
showed that Germany has taken
over all of the fiat glass and go to
10 per cent of. the glassware plants
of Czechoslovakia.
The same plants, experts ex-
planned, will not be able to sell goods
In America as easily as before be-
cause German goods must pay
higher tariffs in this country than
Czech products.

with this consignment, but she was
accepting graft, he was assured. In
stead of giving her money out of his
own pocket, that tricky O'Hallahan,
the Irish devil, was charging extra on
the goods supplied to her department
on her orders, giving her the sur
plus, making the store pay through
the nose.
"Ill fire her! But first she'll get
an earful that'll surprise her!" said
Herman balefully as he waited for
Ann.
Ann did not see Mr.. Herman Weiss
that fateful afternoon.
For disaster had hit the house of
Delafield, with the likelihood of re-
verberations much farther-reaching
than the accusations of graft-taking
to be levelled at the youngest daugh-
ter.
While Brenda Selz was closeted
with the store-owner, pouring out her
venom, Ann had received frantic
telephone call in her department from
Claire's best friend, Carol Ditmar.
"For lands sake, Ann, come home
at once! There's a detective in the
flat, and Claire's going to be taken
in front of the district-attorney!"
Telling her assistant to carry on
that afternoon, Ann leaped into a
taxi, promising the driver an extra
tip if he could reach the house be-
tween Lexington and Third Avenue in
record time.
He did so.
White-faced, Ann raced up the steps
of the old brownstone building and
let herself into the apartment. The
sound of half-muffled sobbing smote
her ears.
