Twelve Million Years Loss Transports lor as good-looking as a fair weath-
tion in Nation's Car Inventory Than
Considered Normal, Manufac-
turer Tells Financiers
STIMATING that transportation in
the form of automobiles now in the
hands of the American public is twelve
millfon “car-years” below normal, and
that this deficit will eventually have to
se made up, Richard H. Grant, vice
president of the General Motors Cor- |
soration, recently told the American
Bankers Association convention that |
smployment in his company may be
greater this winter than last year.
“Employment Juring the winte
months is a very important thing”
Mr. Grant said. “So far as our corpo
ration is concerned, in November, De-
tember, January and February we will
be employing at least as many and
probably more men than we did this
past year.”
In order to gauge the outlook fo. |
aext year's market his corporation,
he said, attempts to set up sales in-
dices based on intensive scientific
studies In addition to observation and
common sense.
“We are in the habit of lookin,
apon an automobile not merely as an
automobile but as transporation,” he
said. “We figure each automobile
produced as six years of transporta-
tion. Then by following up records
of production yearly, we get a graph
which indicates what ought to be a
normal inventory of transportation in
the hands of the American people, and
whether there are more or less miles
than might be expected. According
to our figures, there are about twelve
million years less transportation in
this inventory at the present time
than has been considered normal since
1925.
The Outlook for Business
~Consequently, if we retain the same
purchasing power in this country, it
is quite evident that on the first up-
turn of business there will be a rush
to replace that inventory. In develop
ing this graph, it has come out very
strongly that every third year is a
blg automobile year. The biggest
automobile year was 1929 when 4,100,
000 cars were produced for American
consumption. This year the industry
will produce somewhere between 1,
$00,000 and 1,900,000 cars. As 1932 is
three years after 1929, if economic con-
ditions were normal we could be sure
we would do a tremendous business,
because the third year is the time when
the bulk of the replacing takes place.”
|
He added that there are factors at
work that make it uncertain how big
the year will be, instancing that
“money is being hoarded from lack
of confidenec and this takes away
some purchasing power that we would
otherwise have, while family budgets
are being cut on account of changes
in income conditions,
means that purchasing power for the
automobile, like a good many other
things, will be knocked down.” As a
result, he said, it was necessary to
measure what statistically would be
a big year against a practical con-
sideration of the curtailment of ex-
penditures which is going on and de
termine how big the year will be
under these circumstances.

In addition there are numerous oth-
er animal figurines and amulets, &
complete cosmetic set of the period,
a mold for casting bronze objects and
« stone palette for mixing paints.
The unusual nature of some of the
finds, together with the fact that they
are remarkably well preserved, makes
the collection of particular interest,
according to Dr. Ephraim A. Speiser.
“Both the seal of the goat and anoth-
er stamped seal of about 3570 B. C,

most be called modernistic,” Doctor
Spelser stated, “while the frying pan

covery because It still retuins its orig

“particular interest is attached aise

when a state of comparative leisure
existed. This leisure subsequently
was driven out by the advent of metal.
for the coming of bronze accelerated
the mode of living, and the painted
pottery gave way to things of a more
utilitarian nature.”
Authority on Spelling
of Geographical Names
The federal department which Is
he final authority on the spelling of |
geographical names is the United |
States Geographic board. As far as Is |
practicable, the United States Post Of-
fice department accepts the decisions
of this board in all its official spell-
Ings. In the case of Pittsburgh, Pa.
the board was first asked to pass on
the correct spelling in 1801, at which
time it decided in favor of the spell-
ing “Pittsburg.” This decision, how-
ever, met with a great deal of opposi-
tion among citizens generally in Pitts.
burgh, and in 1911 the board consent-
ed to reconsider the case, One of the
deciding factors in the final decision
wns the “original seal of the Borough
of Pittsburgh,” which was struck In
1704, and which was brought forward
us evidence. The Geographic board's
final decision in 1911 reversed the orig-
inal decision and established Pitts.
burgh as the official spelling of the
name of this city.
Moss Rose Legend
According to German tradition, the
legend of the moss rose is as follows:
“Once upon a time an angel, having a
mission of love to suffering humanity,
came down on earth. He was much
grieved at all the sin and misery he
saw and at all the evil things he heard.
Jeing tired, he sought a place to rest,
but as it fared with his master, so it
fared with him, there was no room
for him, and no one would give him
shelter. At last he lay down under
the shade of a rose and slept until!
the rising sun awoke him, Before
winging his flight heavenward he ad-
dressed the rose and said that, as it
had given him shelter which man de
nied, it should receive an enduring
token of his love, and so, leaf by leaf,
and twig by twig, the soft moss grew
' around the stem, and there it is to-
“From a long haul standpoint, Te |
gardless of how many automobiles are
sold in 1932, we are storing up a big
business for the future,” Mr. Grant
said. “There will be fewer automobiles
sold in 1831 than will go to the scrap
heap. With 12,000,000 car-years out
of the inventory, nine percent more
gasoline was used up to August 1,
1931, than was used in 1930. With
fewer automobiles, the people must
have been running them faster and
longer to consume the additional gaso-
line. This means that we have some
22,000,000 people working hard to
make a fine business for our industry
when there is an economic recovery.
No False Optimism

without a statistical backgrouand. Us
ing the best sense we can, we have
drawn conclusions from the figures we
have, and | am willing to make the

statement that as far as the conduct
of our business for the first half of
1932 1s concerned, we shall set the
indices somewhat higher than the ac
tualities of 1931. We are willing tc
set our advertising budgets and our |
selling expense on that kind of indices
With economic conditions as they are
and since the obsolescence is so great
sales, we figure that the first half of
1932 must necessarily be better thay
was the first half of 1931."

How City of Portland
Was Named by Chance
The name of Portland, Ore., was de-
elded by flipping a coin, Although a
cabin or two had been previcusly built
on the site, the founding of the pres-
ent city of Portland dates from 1843,
when William Overton and Amos L.
Lovejoy, ascending the Willamette
river in a canoe on their way from
Fort Vancouver on the Columbia to
Oregon City, selected the site as an |
ideal location for a town. Soon after
the tract was acquired Overton sold
his interest to Francis W. Pettygrove.
In 1884 the land was surveyed, the
boundaries determined and the first
log house built, and the following year
a portion of the tract was laid off
into streets, blocks and lots. When
the problem of naming the embryo
city came up Pettygrove, who was a
native of Maine, wanted to call it
Portland, while Lovejoy, who was a
native of Massachusetts, favored Bos-
ton. The two New England real es.
tate men finally decided to settle the
matter by tossing a penny—heads,
Portland, and tails, Boston, Heads
won and the city was named Portland. |
How Student Made Discovery
The principle of the selectiv : irradi
ation of food was discovered by a |
voung student of electrical engineer- |
ing at the University of Cincinnati,
named George Sperti, He was work-
production of ultra-viclet rays. His
interest was diverted to the effects of
these rays on living substances, and he
interested President Herman Schneider
of the university in installing a bio-
physical laboratory. The foundation '
of their research was the application
of the quantum theory of physics to
organic matter, A large sum of money
has been paid for patents on the dis-
covery, Professor Sperti, at thirty, is
director of the Basic Science Research |

cinnati and the General Foods cor-

pany, and a new laboratory is to he

How Quakes Affect Earth
The surface of the earth is variously |
affected by an earthquake. In some
of the greatest earthquakes, there are |
no features more remarkable than the |
dislocation of the crust. The dis-|
placement along the fault may be |
mainly horizontal, mainly vertical, or |
partly vertical and partly horizontal,
In a few earthquakes, such as that at |
Messina In 1908, the movement takes |
the form of a warping of the crust, |
no actual fault being visible on the |
surface, When the movement Is hori- |
zontal, the fault may appear as a |
erack or fissure, or may he revealed |
by the severing of roads, fences, etc., |
