Used Car Sales

DETROIT, Feb. 28 u.N.S.)-The
American automobile industry
moved as a unit for the first time
in history today in an effort to
beat the business recession with
one Of the greatest advertising
campaigns of all time.
The industry, through president
Alvan Macauley Of the Automobile
Manufacturer Association, an
nounced that 1t will spend 81, ,250,.
900 In a single week to break the
used car jam that has been blamed
for the collapse Of the market for
1888 model cars.
The unity Of the industry in the
campaign Is illustrated by the fact
that even Henry Ford, long the
lone wolf" Of the industry, has
Joined in the move to break the
used car jam. It is the first time
in his long years in the industry
that the Dearborn motor Inagnate
has entered into a cooperative
movement with other manufactur-
erS.
Macauley said the campaign,
which will be carried to the ma.
tion's buying public through 1850
daily newspapers, 1900 weekly
newspapers, 400 radio stations and
$4,000 billboards in 1000 cities,
was the outgrowth Of the recent
conference Of automobile industry
leaders with President Roosevelt
in the White House.

Griffin Hits AboIishing|
StarSpangled Banner

Angered over the campaign to
abolish the Star-Spangled Banner
in favor Of another national an
them, william Griffin, editor and
publisher Of The New York En-
quirer, came to Washington today
to confer with congressional lead
ers on initiation Of a movement
to compel due reverence for the
nations hymn.
At the Mayf1ower Hotel, Mr..
Griffin said:
II cannot conceive anything
more provokingly nonsensical
and un-American than the ef-
forts which are being made to
deprive this Republic Of its in
spring national hymn.
The Star-Spangled Banner
- the national anthem Of the
United States. not only by the
paLr1ot1c choice OF the American
people but also by an act Of
Congress.
"of course, it will never be
displaced by any synthetically-
produced composition, no mat
ter by whom sponsored. Like
poets, national anthems are
born, not made. They are the
products of the sublime in the
nations affairs"
Mr.. Griffin contended if proper
respect for the national anthem
cannot be evoked from the force
OF public opinion it should be in
voked by aid of law. He added
we have a great deal to learn
from foreign nations in this re-
Spect."

Townsend, Aug. III -- Excessive
rainfall has injured crops and is
said to have helped the farmer at
the same time by exterminating
beetles which attack c-ops. Wheat
has sprouted in the fields and to-
matoes have suffered but beetles
did not thrive on the rain, either,
for they are being trapped less
abundantly, apparently rain is
their worst enemy.
The early apple crop in many of
the orchards in the State is being
harvested and the harvest is re-
ported about normal. One fact in
this connection is the steady in
crease in orchards, several new
ones having been set out since a
year ago, while others interested in
the culture of King apple are plan
ming to start new orchards during
the present year.

REFLECTIVE

1 walked beside the river on summer
day
Where the trees reflection IN the
water lay,
Lovely green branches, and wild flow
ers by their side
Mirrored their beauty in the slowly
passing tide.
The white clouds softly floating in o
sky of blue
Clearly reflected their ceaseless wan
behring's too,
A boat it's white sails flying, waiting
to go to sea,
All reflected lovely in their simple
ity.
I fingered by the river on that sum-
mer day
Thinking life reflected much the self
same way,
The deeds that you and I will do, just
what we really are
Will mirror a reflection that others
cannot mar.

tasks;
The nights with pleasures gay,
And ere one knows it day has pass
ed
And another is on it's way.
For speed, is the ruling power, it
seems,
And one must travel apace,
Or find himself at the end of the line
In the mad and hectic race.
So, there isn't time to stop awhile
Or slacken ones rapid gait;
No time for quiet hour with God,
Nor leisure to mediate.
But if, perchance, the time should
come
When health and strength have flown,
And disease has taken heavy toll
Of nerve, and sinew, and bone;
The time for thinking has just begun
AS the days drag slowly by,
And the thought of things we'd like
to do,
Brings a dimness to the eye.
Yes, there's ample time for thinking,
now,
When our usefulness is gone;
When the days are patterned just
alike,
And the months and years roll on.
No need to long for an active life
When affliction's cup we drink,
With only day at a time to 60
And naught to do but think.
Alma Gertrude Hurley.
