TO RECOVER
LOST TIME"

Flinders is keepers" is the
usual rule when people run
across lost articles, but little
classified ads in the Lost
and Found Columns of the
Times and Herald have an
uncanny knack of finding
lost property for people.
A recent example is that Of
Mr.. H. D., who miSlaid q
valuable wrist watch, which
was quickly returned to him
after he had inserted a clas-
sified ad in the Patterson
Papers.
With a combined daily cir
culation exceeding 10000

in Washington. D. Cit is
small wonder that classified
advertising in the Times and
Herald brings consistently
better results.

U. s. Senator Walter F. George to-

Then, taking a direct slap at

While the issues before the en-

With obvious reference to the

$4,000 to Be Hired
By Next Friday

DETROIT, Aug. Is U.N.S0
Henry Ford called back an esti-
mated 23,5O0 workers today to
wind up production of 1888 model
cars.
The men are expected to con-
tinue work on 1888 models for sew
eral weeks.
They we're among those laid off
several weeks ago for the annual
inventory period. Retiring will
continue through the week, and
an estimated 1000 will have been
returned to the Ford plants by
Friday.
Normal M0Oe
Meanwhile, spokesman for an
other manufacturing concern in
serted a word Of caution in the
rising surge Of optimism that has
followed the announced plans of
automobile firms to call men back
to work. =. %
The spokesman, who said he is
optimistic about the future,
pointed out the recall of produc-
ton workers Is not a sign Of bust
ness upturn but a normal pro-
|cedClre that precedes every new
model automobile season.
Conditions Better
He said factories must work
full time to supply dealers with
new models during the early part
of the season, but that retail sales
control the length and speed of
continued production.
He added, however, that the in
dustry is now in better condition
than it has been for months and
the new and used car markets are
both in better condition than they
were at the beginning of the 1898
model year.
