10 DETROIT PLAN!
DETROIT Plan for construction
of four additions to ths Detroit
plant of the Plymouth Motor cor
poration were announced today by
company officials as Plymouth cele
brated the seventh anniversary of Its
entrance Into the motor car Industry
The new additions will give Plym
outh a total of nearly 1,000,000
square feet of floor space In Its
Detroit plant, already tha biggest
building of Us kind In the world
The new construction will add 103,.
MO square feet to the present build
ing at Mt. Elliott and Lynch roads.
K. T. Keller, vice-president and
general manager of the Chrysler cor
poratlon, announced the Detroit ex
pansion plana less than a month
a f ter he con f I rmed reports that
Plymouth would reopen two plants
at Eranavllle. Indiana, In the late
fall. More than $1,000,000 will be
spent to re-equip the Evansvllle
plants In preparation for an Initial
production there of about 300 cars
dally.
Th added space afforded by the
new construction at the Detroit
plant will be used for storing Plym
outh bodies and to lncrcnse the
space available for production lines
by moving such non-productive de
partments as factory maintenance,
tool rooms, machine repairs and shop
supplies Into the newly built area.
Five hundred bodies could be stored
In one section of the new addi
tion planned. The moving of non
productive departments into the
new additions will give sufficient
added space on the production lines
to step up the plant's capacity for
building motors and parts neces
sary for the assembling of completed
earn at Evansvllle and Los Angeles.
Completion of the Evansvllle and
Detroit projects will give Plymouth
completely equipped facilities for a
capacity of about 2400 cars dally
In Its three plants.
Plymouth, the Chrysler "baby,"
which has become one of the Indus
trial giants of the motor csr world,
was first announced to the public
In July, 1828, Just seven years ago,
Born Into the highly competitive
low-price field at a time when the
nation waa enjoying the peak ot
prosperity, the first Plymouth came
off the assembly line at the High
land Park plant In June of 1928.
More than 1 ,188,000 Plymouth
have rolled off the assembly linos
during the first seven years of the
company's history. Plymouth's climb
to share one of the first three posi
tions In motor car production nan
been called one of the outstanding
Industrial feats of the depression
years.

Tb value of street and highway
ssfetr education In the schools,
especially In the lower grades, and
the great need of It In the high
school gradei, are ahown In the
chart above. This chart, based upon
findings of the Travelers Insurance
Company, brings out the percentage
of change In the rates of death by
automobile accidents from 1922 to
1933 Inclusive.
During this period when the rate
of death was Increasing 81 per cent
for all ages combined, there -was a
decrease of 25 per cent In the age
group of S to 9 years, and In the next
age group of 10 to 14, the Increase
was only S per cent. Undoubtedly
the great Improvement In the fatal
accident experience In the ages of 5
to I and the very small percentage
gain In the ages of 10 to 14 have
been the result of safety education
In the schools and the protection
that has boen afforded by traffic of
ficers in the vicinity of Bchonls.
But In the age group of 15 to 19
years, which may he regarded as the
high school period, deaths from au
tomobile accidents have Increased
130 per cent, while In the age group
of 20 to 24, which may be regarded
as the college period, the Increase
has been even greater.
The bad record ot deaths In these
two ages points to the great need ot
educational efforts at a time when
young people'are beginning to drive
cars. Many high schools now are
providing such courses of Instruc
tion, and as these are extonded to all
high schools, it may be expected
that In time the adverse experience
In the high school and perhaps also
in the college age groups will begin
to show the Improvement that must
be made If coming generations ot
automobile drivers are to become
safer drlvors than many present day
motorists.

BLACK RUST FEAR
CHICAGO. July 20. (AP) Sug
gestions that black rust Is now
threatening 60 per cent damage to
spring wheat in the Dakotas and
Minnesota gave wheat values notable
strength today.
Black rust advices from the north

season, but scarcity of sellers rather
than unusual Increase of speculative
demand characterized the Chicago
wheat market. Grain authorities said
a race Is on between maturity of the
spring wheat crop and devastation
from rust, with the rust so prevalent
that It can be seen In the field for
a distance of ten rods.
Wheat closed firm at about the
