Explaining his forecast, he sad: “One million American made cars will be shipped overseas and so'd in the next few ^ears. Today there are upwards of 29 505,475 motor ve hicles in the world, and of this num ber 23 mill'on aie in use in the United States. I feel that this is al together out cf proportion. The Unit ed States has only about l-20th of the world's population and only a fiaction of its habitable land. Yet it owns 80 per cent of all the motor vehicles in the wcrld. “General Motors Export, apply ng American metho’s of manufactur . distribution and credit, has gene a long way in the last few years t make the wcnld motor minded. F-1 instance.

This increase in th: export trade has been reflected gen erally. Figures for the first eight months covering the entire American export field show an increase of 3C per cent over 1927. “The home market will always re main the backbone of the industry. The prospect of a rapidly expanding volumn of foreign trade supporting the excellent outlook for domestic business seems to indicate that the automobile industry is entering the greatest period of its history.” X Little Talk On Thrift On his tour of the district an in spector of city high schoo’s came be fore a class of girls.

Look After Your Subscription Nojv; In selecting corn for seed or breed ing, farmers in the Southern States are advised to choose ears having husks that are at least long enough to cover the tip of the ears and that close tightly around the silks. Veiy long, tight husks are an aid in pre venting injury from th e corn ear- worm and the weevil and also from birds. “The first and best victory is to conquer self,” said Plato. “To be con quered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile.” The first step in thrift is “to con quer self.” Until this self-conquesi has been made we will never change our habits for the better. We may realize the folly of waste fulness and extravagance. We may wish that we might get cut of the way of always being behind finan cially. We may realize in the hon esty of our own hearts that we arc doing ourselves a grave injustice by th e neglect of our physical well be ing. We may know that we are al lowing golden opportunities for self- improvement and advancement td be neglected. We may have a clear viewpoint of all of these attitudes. But until we apply the Platcoian test to our rules on conduct, we are “conquered by self” which is “of all things, the most shameful and rile.” Perhaps we have not thought all the way through these personal problems. In neglecting to save money or practice other phases of thrift, we have not realized, possibly the great harm being done to our selves mentally and spiritually. We have thought only of the material phases. It is well for us in th's fast and fascinating era to listen across the ages to the voice c«f Plato, remind ing us of the glory of victory over self and the shame of a conquest won by our own follies. Those who practice thrift may rest assured that not all the values ac cruing to them can b e measured in teims c'f dollars. They may find in spiration in the concept that they aie gaining what is more priceless than gold—a strong character, a sturdy will.
