They ought to dispel for all time the remark once commonly heard, "They can't improve cars much from now on." ' Automobiles have been improved in appearance and as to works. They will continue to exhibit improvements from year to year, but the 1930 improvements will prove unusually irresistible to the automobile-conscious. Perhaps it is commonplace to keep on repeating year after year that these shows have more than a passing interest for even the average persons. The automotive industry is among the leaders in the United States. There are approxi mately 25,000,000 cars in operation. Each of these cars is certain to have an interest for at least four other persons, so that at the outset of the calculation more than three fourths of the country's people are interested in automobiles. As a matter of fact this is lower than the actual number. Under such conditions it is not surprising that the public should be interested in motor cars and the changes and pro gress they make. It is a matter of educational convenience ,to find so many cats grouped for display as are shown at the auto expositions. NOTICK OF STOCK IIOIjDEHS" ANNUAIj iimori.vo .

Carbon mon oxide is an odorless lethal gas that is given off in largo quantities by the exhaust. of motors. The survey of the health service explodes the theory that the streets are becoming dangerous because of tho clouds of smoke that arise from motors on congested thoroughfares, but solemn warning is given concerning roofed structures used to house automobiles. Garages, repair stations and parking sheds are the places of danger. , Fresh air dispels the peril of carbon nuinoxide. Samples of air taken at principal street corners in 11 large cities were found to be virtually pure, and certainly not dangerous. .The fresh air "cure" should be given garages frequently every clay, if possible and under no circumstances should a motor ist sit in a closed car, in a closed garage, and start the motor. Carbon monoxide kills quickly and without any previous warning.

"A decrease In cattle supplies such as hud been expected- came about In 1929. but the expected decrease In hog supplies failed to materialize and. In fact, turned to an Increase." the report stated.
