Arm for Defense
Regardless Of Budget,
Bankers Advise
General Toxotion

To Achieve Ends
By the Associated Press.

by the associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 20.-The In
vestment Bankers Association of
America yesterday proposed an in
crease in Government expenditures
for military purposes regardless of
the effect on the budget" and an
Increase in income taxes to pay the
cost.
The Investment Bankers Asso-
citation believes that no effort should
be spared to insure adequate ma
tional defense" the association said
in a statement. ITO this end, the
association favors an increase in
general taxation for the single pur-
pose of assisting the accomplish
ment OF such program
"Fundamently we are in favor OF
a balanced budget, but under pres
ent circumstances we urge that ex-
penditureS be made as quickly as
possible for military purposes re-
gardless of the effect on the budget.
and that ali other expenditures be
curtailed so far as possible.
Specifically We suggest an in
crease in income taxes, principally
through general broadening of the
base structure and such other forms
of taxation as will least affect the
general economy of the country"

Steady Auto Output
Builds Inventories
To High Levels
Decline in Assemblies
Not Expected for at
Least Three Weeks
By DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press Business Writer

DETROIT, June 20.-The Nations
motorcar factories approach the
close of the second quarter of 1910
with heavy stocks of new and used
cars on hand, production rolling
along at higher levels than normally
would be indicated at this season
and with growing indications that
there will be no sharp reduction in
assemblies for at least another three
weeks.
Output for the current week, as
reported by the trade publication
Automotive News, will total 84,59l
cars and trucks. Last week the paper
placed output at 86,502 units. A year
ago at this time. the weeks as
semblies numbered 1879.
While the figures show that cur
rent plant activity is beginning to
level off toward that of year ago.
the producers generally are ex-
pected to maintain production
schedules close to the present
volume right up until the time they
have to suspend operations to install
new model equipment.
Future Demand Seen.
The sustained production of 1910
model vehicles is not due in any
respect to interruption to the re-
tooling operations; the production
of these new tools and dies for
the motor industry rapidly is near
ing completion. Rather it is due
to the fact that the carmakers can
see ahead a considerable volume of
demand despite the proximity of
normal new model activities.
Retail sales reports from the lead
ing companies for the initial period
of June showed declines from the
preceding compilations but sizable
gains against the same time a year
ago. A further modest tapering off
is looked for in trade circles when
figures are available for the Sec
ond period of the current month.
One or two of the smaller COM
panies may wind up 1910 model
assemblies during the next couple
of weeks and get their next years
types in dealers hands we'll in
advance of the National Automobile
Show date.
Regarded as Insurance.
Generally, the production sched-
ules of these manufacturers have
been up and down during the last
few weeks, and their output has
not contributed much to the heavy
volume of unsold new cars now
awaiting delivery to dealers.
A stock of approximately 100000
new cars unsold on July l normally
would be the signal for a general
suspension of assembly plant ac-
tivity throughout the industry, but
sales executives of all the manu.
featuring companies as well as dis
tributor division heads look upon
the heavy inventory now on hand
as an insurance that they can meet
most if not all of the demand the
third quarter of the year may bring.
Automotive News estimates this
week that the aggregate output of
new cars for the first six months
of the year will reach 2,500,000
units, indicating, it says, a total for
the year of approximately 4,500, 900.

Ink 10 Speed Printing
Developed in Studies
Following Blast
Potent for Quiek-Dyins
Type is Granted to
Carleton Ellis

An explosion which occurred four
years ago in his Montclair IN. j.
laboratory prompted a series Of ex-
perimepts which has brought Garlic
ton Ellis, distinguished chenlist-ir1-
ventor, his 753d United States pat
ent, covering a quick-drying ink,
which may make possible a sub
stantial speed-up in newspaper and
magazine printing.
Mr.. Ellis, said by examiners to
hold more Patent Once grants than
any other living American inventor,
turned from petroleum and resins to
the related chemical compounds
used in manufacture of inks. He
sought to develop a printing sub
stance which would polymerize. or
set, Immediately on contact with
paper, thereby facilitating an in
crease in press speed. One of Mr..
Ellis first attempts resulted in a
polymerization so rapid it was ex-
plosive. The laboratory equipment
was DESTROYED. and the research
chemist was faced with the paradox
of making super-faSt ink by slow
ing down his formula.
Another Similar Discovery.
When granting of patent on the
solution offered by 'the miracle man
of Montclair" was announced today,
examiners recalled that another in
ventor made an important discovery
through an accidental explosion.
Seeking to provide substitute for
liquid nitroglycerine, particularly
hazardous explosive, DR.. Alfred
Nobel of Sweden, who later estab-
lished the Nobel prizes. came upon
the principle Of dynamite when a
leak in can of nitroglycerine caused
the liquid to become absorbed by
sand in which the containers were
packed, producing more stable ex-
plosive when it hardened.
Mr.. Ellis new ink is thermal set
ting. 1t dries slowly at ordinary
temperatures but sets at once, he
declares, when heat is applied.
Patent Described.
The patent describes the vehicle,
or body, ASIA dihydric alcohol poly
ester of an unsaturated dicarboxylic
acid selected from the group con-
sisting of maleic. fumaric, citraconic
and itaconic acids" and states GER
tain polymerization catalysts-sub-
stances contributing to the setting
but not combining with other in
gredients-are added.
In line with his policy of utilizing
all "leftovers" from experiments d.
rected toward particular invention.
Mr.. Ellis applied for several other
patents in the printing ink field.
Then he gathered his copious notes
on experiments with inks, prepared
a large book and dipped into his

other problem of industrial chem
istry.

with mucilaginous juice and tough.
fibrous bark. The West and South
west appear to have more than their
quota of these lovely flowers, which
are large and colorful and easily

The leaves grow alternately along
