Paige-Detroit Sales Increase 350 Per Cent Healthy Condition of Motor Car Industry Shown by Advance Over Last Year. r Detroit, Mich., March 3.—The healthy condition of the motor indus try 1« reflected by a comparison of the production and sales of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company for the first two months of this year with 1922, according to Harry M. Jewett, president. In January and February, 1923. sales were 350 per cent greater than in the first two months of the previ ous year. Production, planned in the expectation of the best possible mar ket conditions for similar periods, was only 261 per cent greater, says Jew ett. As head of one of the 10 automobile concerns in the United States which manufacture 90 per cent of the auto mobiles built in the United States, Jewett believe* that the figures of the Paige company are representative of conditions In general in the industry. “We expect to go into March ap proximately 1,000 orders behind," Rays Jewett. “In anticipation of an equally large business in March, we have set our schedule for that month at 4,495. or slightly over 1,000 more than the February schedule. “This tremendous increase in our business is owed to the Jewett model Which went into quantity production during the latter part of February last year. The sales of the JeWett with its quantity production in creased in volume to the point where we could greatly improve the Paige. As a result the 6 TO is one of the ranking automobiles of the country today.” Buick Dealer Declares Business Is “Best Ever"’ H. Felton, local Buick dealer, states that business during the Automobile show was th« best ever enjoyed by bis company. “Our company alone sold better than three cars a day." Mr. Pelton said. “The public again is buying and is buying in a way which indi cates a continuance through the spring and summer months."

New Ford Motor Plant Real Industrial Miracre Industrial miracle is l>eiug wrought at the plant of the l'ord Motor com pany at Detroit and the half century dream of the world s most expert metallurgists has come true. The River Touge plant, begun only j five years ago. Is scarcely more Rian half completed, yet It is today ' the throbbing heart of the world’s great est single Industry. Part of the plan was to combine coke ovens, furnaces, foundry and steel mill into a single consolidated unit—the first time In the history of metal working that such a project had been undertaken. Further It was the scheme to pour molten Iron from the blast furnace directly into wiolds and in the single [ operation produce light, thin-sec tioned. high silicon castings which could be machined, thifw- eliminating the slow and costly steps through the | pig iron stage. Now Industrial experts come to wit ness the daily miracle of 1,500 tons t at molten ore and Iron, mixed In sci entific proportion! and changed in » a single operation, in the world’s ! largest foundry, into superb castings numerous enough to supply all the automobile, tractor and truck needs of the Ford Motor company. -_ According to reports, x.nOO.OOO Rus sians face starvation before the har vest of 1923 unless relief feeding is continued and increased.

Network of 9,000 Dealers Gives Ford Owners Service "Nothing T know of tends to bring greater satisfaction to the automobile owner than to have the assurance that he can always get efficient serv ice and in this respect the owner of n Ford jar enjoys an unusual feeling of security," says W. A. Russell, manager of the branch of the Ford 1 Motor company in Omaha. "The Ford dealer organization of 1 nearly 9,000 throughout the United States is rendering a real service to Ford owners nnd, through a series of schools bow being conducted. Is rapid ly being put in shape to render an equally real service to Lincoln car owners. "There is another big value to the Ford owner in thli service. If he has had a car fnr a unuple of years and wishes to purchase a new one he, naturally enough, is desirous of a real exchange or trade value for his old car. If he has been given proper serv ice and his car kept in good mechjmt cal condition, he can Command a good exchange or trade in value—and get it." D. D.

March 3—A vivid story of unparalleled sufferings in the Russian famine is tolij by Mi«s N. E. Walker, secretary, Manchester Russian famine relief fund, who has just returned after a three months' tour of the famine regions "Compared with some places.'' she says, there is no famine in Moscow, although tea there is $30 a pound: sugar, $50 a pound: boots. $30 a pair woolen stockings, $i> a pair: tablets of cheap soap. 1 shillings each; black bread, 3 pence a pound, and wages average no more than from 3 iienc. a day for unskilled artisans to 16 pence for skilled men, "Rife in Moscow is comparatively normal, hut the streets are lined wita beggars and unemployed. Jews Own < ars. "There are many motor cars, too, hut these belong to the Jew*, who, taking advantage of the change of policy permitting private enterprise. | have opened plenty of shops. Indeed, practically all tbe shops in Moscow l are open now. So are the theaters ‘and concert halls. There are still | free seats, but recently a <harge wa introdueed for the isnter class seats. In olher seats it is now common for government offic ials to find them selves next to charwomen and otheis of the plebeian classes. "On one occasion Trotsky occupied the next box to mine at a theater. He is not thought so much of as Renin, who never stirs from the Kremlin— the city within the city, the home of all the government officials. “A doctor told me that Renin Is three parts paralyzed and that an other stroke is expected any day. It seems as though Renin is doomed to : die very shortly. "The fact that he is, too, a thor oughbred Russian, unlike Trotsky and many other leaders, secures him i a place in popular esteem denied them.
