BABSON PARK, Fla., Jan. .51.— When discussing the present stock market situation Roger W. Babson, today, pointed out the probabl.ity of various industrial consolidations, and outlined the benefits expected from them. “Owing to the rapid risq in stock market prices since the election, and noting recent erratic conditions, many wonder if the market has not seen ‘ts highest prices,” says the tisticjan. “The most experienced ‘observers, however, do not believe the highest prices haye yet been reached and give for their reasons the improved donvestic situation, the plentifulness of money for legitimate purposes, the restoration of Europe, and the conservative’ administration in Washington. All these favorable conditions exist yet there is another impending development whic may be even g greater factor than any of th mentioned. I have in mind the probability of a number of con- solidations among the industrials, as well as the railroads, during 1925. Jt the market has already discounted these consolidations, then it may be around top prices, but otherwise many stocks should go higher before the present bull market culminates. “The first industrial depression this cogntry ever witnessed was in the 30's and the first consolidations came at the close of that depression. The fact is that these consolidations paved the way for the better times that followed, Tho next great de- pression camé in the 50's and this was followed by further consolida- tions and the first great bull market. These consolidations especially af- fected the banks which had grown up Hke mushrooms in the twenty years previous. The next depression came with the panic of '73. This in turn was followed by a third era of consolidations. This time railroads were prominent, The next great de- pression came in the 90's at the time of the Bryan free silver scare, This culminated with the Spanish Amer- ftan war and was followed by the first consolidation era of the {ndus- trials. It was in this period that the United States Steel Corporation, Amalgamated Copper company, American Woolen company and var- fous other industrials were put to- gether. In conjunction with these consolidations the market rose to great beights culminating in 1906. In this study it is interesting to note’ that these eras have occurred about tventy years apart, or one to each generation. Therefore, as far as sta- tistics are concerned, we are, on this twenty year basis, ready for an- other era of such consilidations, al- though I do not give this as my rea- son for feeling that such an era is now approaching. “The real reason for such consoli- » dations is that during a period of prosperity a large number of new concerns, in every line of business, Commodity (Copiright 1925, THe Casper Tribune) ou LOS ANGELES—Drilling of new oil wells in southern Ca'ifornia fields has shown an appreciable decline since the first of the year, Where- as 120 new wells were started dur- ing the first three weeks of January a year ago, the total to date this year is only 66. WORTHAM, Tex.,—Production of the Wortham field has dropped 89,- 000 barrels a day from the peak of 167,000 barrels made January 65. Some days this week the falling off has been as high as 2,000 barrels a day. SHREVEPORT.—Gasoline now Is retailing here at 20% cents a gat, lon, 5c above the price quoted two weeks ago, Steel PITTSBURGH — Carnegie Steel has 48 blast furnaces in operation while ower companies are operating on ax equally high basis. ‘Two more Carnegie furnaces are likely to BO on early next week.

The program is being arranged and will be handled by the Okmulgee district Oil and Gas association, which .is one of the best equipped stations (Bristow Radio Station) in the south, having a wave length of 381 meters and the program should be picked up anywhere throughout the northwest. One of the prominent features of the program will be the singing of oil Meld ditties of twenty to forty years ago. There will be a number of musical selections and several brief talks by men prominently known jm the oli industry, spring up, old concerns expand, and almost every industry becomes 1n- flated and spreads out. This results in a total producing capacity in ex- cess of normal demands. During the depression—which according to the law of action and reactigh is boynd to follow—each indurtry gets into a position where it is making no money, and is subject to cut throat competition. The only, way out ig to reduce overhead, eliminate unneces- sary competition, and produce and sell economically, This can be ac- gomplished only through consolida- tions which, when properly consume mated, reduce the cost both of manu- facturing and selling. There is no reason why the present year should be an exception to the rule. History is bound to repeat itself, and the stage.Js now set in almost. all indus: tries for such consolidations. It is true that bank clearings are higher today and that a great quantity of goods are being consumed, but the average manufacturer {s now mak- ing lUttle profit owing to the high cost of manufacturing and selling This condition cannot continue in definitely and, if such consolidatjons do not take place, then the weak con- cerns will be eliminated throygh bankruptcy. ‘Of course consolidations of the rajiroads is now being anticpaited by all, Both the government and the se curity owners are united upon the need for such combination. The main thing blocking these raflroad consol- idations seem to be the fear of eer. tain railroad officials, attorneys and specialists who may lose their jobs as a result. However, these consoli- dations are inevitable and the Betion of the rails on the stock exchange is now discounti#g them, Consolida- tions amongst the industrials, how- ever, are just as surely ahead of us. This will be-accelerated by foreign competition. Personally I do not fear foreign competition so fay as the next year or two is concerned, as it will take Europe some time to get organized industrially so that {t can ship low cost goods in large quan- titles. The real foreign competition wil! come three to five years from now and when this comes it will ecme with a vengeance. Wise are those manufacturers who refuse to wait but who now get together and prepare for it by reducing overhead, lowering costs on manufacturing, and by developing effectent sales or- ganizations abroad as wel] as at home. Mr. Babson referred specifically to the possibility of drastic consolida- tions in the automobile industry, the shoe and leather industry, the tex- Ule industry. “General buriness,” he concluded “ls now again‘above the normal line, registering five per cent compared with 12 per cent below normal six months ago.

Evolution of the new Chevrolet, which made its initial bow at the New York Automobile Show. this month, was marked by hard, exact- ing yet Interesting labor. extending over a period of more than a year. As far back as 1923 aytomotive and motallurgical experts started drawing plans for the new automo: bile. Sample cars were made, con: ments, including disc clutch, springs, axles, manifold, etc,, and these cars were turned over to selected drivers working directly under the engineer- ing staff for the hardest tests hu- man ingenuity could devise, Every detail In the new car was forced to prove itself more than adequate for any demands it might be called upon to fulfill. The new semt-elliptic springs wn- derwent harder usage than any car owner could give them In five years, Day and night drivers tore over the bumpy roads, taking rallroad crosa- ings, ruts and {inequalities at high speed. The drivers were working under orders to “bust those springs if you can.” The new axles, front and rear, Were subjected tg simijar trials. Every strain expert drivers could think of was placed on the axles, which had already withstood severe laboratory tests. Stresses that ordi- nary driving never would cause were placed on the new channel steel frame and its five sturdy cross mem- bers. In fact every detail that is incor- porated {nto the new Chevrolet was tested, improved and. re-tested until it scored 100 per cent before It was adopted. In this way {t was possible for the Chevrolet company to go into quantity production at once, secure in the knowledge that its new line completely in love with the titled Britan: e takes off to Atlantic City where there fs plenty of ro- mance astir. But it’s all a mistake —at least it seems so at the begin- ning of boardwalk affairs, for his lordship flops for the bathing beau- elty, the scene to be “The Days of Romance" from “Kiss Me Again,” Art and Zelda Boden are to fea- ture “Sport on the Beach.” And, 00, 00, oo! The beauties will step out in the spotlight th one-plece bathing suite. Don’t Neglect a Squeak or Rattle Rattles and squeaks are very ioitetia and disturbing and at the same time are a sign that there is something on the car that requires attention without delay. Sometimes a squeak, or rattle is a warnin: that a certain part requires lubrication and a drop of oil or a shot o! grease from the grease gun at the right time inay save the cost of an expensive repair. ‘ Take as an example the universal joint on the propeller shaft. Sup- pose the lubrication of this is neglected or say the grease plug has come out—what happens. For a start you hear a squeak caused by lack of oil or grease in the pins of the joint. Within a short time the squeak changes to a rattle which will be very noticeable when the car is traveling at low speeds. This rattle is caused by play in the bear- ings which have worn. The result is that a new universal joint must be installed at a cost from $20 to $40. In addition to the cost of the repair you lose the use of your car for several days. If, when the squeak was first noticed, you had taken the trouble to find out where it came from or had made a practice of making a 4 careful inspection of your car at d regular intervals, the missing grease plug in the universal joint would have been noticed and a new one fitted and the joint filled with grease. Some drivers take no notice of an unusual sound until the trouble reaches the stage where it causes a breakdown. If the reader is one of those who do not care to work about a car, the best idea and one that will save time and money in the end, is to make arrangements with a reliable service station to look over your car about once a month. They will test and tighten up all bolts and nuts, drain the crankcase and refill with fresh oil, grease or oil all connections on the front axle, steering gear, brake connections, etc. They will test the brakes and if necessary adjust them. When making the inspection, the mechanic generally notices any parts that show signs of wear and can either make adjustments that will take up the play or advise you so that a replacement can be made before trouble occurs. This is a service nearly every service station has a fixed charge for and you will find them very reasonable. If your car receives this attention and care you can be certain that it will give you longer service and will run better than it will if all you do is fill up the radi- ator with water, the crankcase with oil and the tank’ with gasoline and neglect lubrication and tightening up. The majority of owners prefer to look after their car and get a cer- tain amount of pleasure keeping everything in good condition: ‘You probably are familiar with the usual sounds that are normally made by your car, but you should train your ear to detect at once any Strange sound. Noises are divided into two classes, those occurring at regular 4 intervals and those at irregular intervals. In the first class we have sounds occurring in the engine, clutch, for" box and rear axle or in other words, noises in the rotating parts. In the second class we have noises occurring at irregular inter- vals in such parts as the body, brake, rods, fenders, springs, etc. Squeaks are generally caused by lack of lubrication while rattles are caused by excessive wear or looseness in some part, although squeaks also occur from this cause. When you hear a long continued squeak while the car is on the road, first stop the car but leave the engine running. If you find that the squeak stops when the car stops, then grease or oil the shackle bolts, spring leaves, universal joints. If this does not cure the trouble examine the wheel bearings, If they are dry they squeak badly and if not attended to at once the bearings will be ruined, If, however, the squeak continues while the engine is running but the car is stopped, OF zy IN CAR BY TIGHTENING LUBRICATING REGULARLS then lubricate such parts as the fan bearing, generator bearings, clutch, etc, If any of the body bolts are loose the weaving of the chassis will also cause a squeak, Rattles are caused by wear and looseness in some part. Make sure that the fenders are securely clamped to the fender irons and that the bolts holding the running board brackets are pulled up tight. se floor boards are another cause of rattles and squeaks. Loose body bolts should be tightened. Loose and worn brake connect: , tie rod pins, shackle bolts all cause a great amount of rattle on the road. Doors and windows also rattle badly at times. The best way to prevent rattles and squeaks is to go over your car at least once 4 month and test all bolts and nuts for tightness, then with an oil or grease gun, keep every bearing well lubricated, ¥ would more than meet any requiré- ments car owners would place on it. — ‘Cheap’ Used Car May Cost More in End By SPARK PLUG.

STRANGE TALE OF FIGHT WITH NEW ME; ICO SNOWDRIFTS TOLD BY AL FAIR IN NEW MAGAZINE By SPARK PLUG. Why go south to be snowbound? Well, you might ask Al Fair, who resides at 133 South Conwell street in our fair city. Though no gold medals, {indicating fame and fortune with the mighty pen, adorn Mr. Fair's blue serge, still with the aid of a flock of photographs and pleas ant and unpleasant memories, he managed to shake a mean pen in the direction of the Motor, Camper, and Tourlst magazine for February. It seems that a bit over a year Ago with the gentle Casper zephyr creeping warily up and down. his spinal column, Mr. Fair and friend wife packed a few belongings in a trusty Dodge sedan, poured a quart of of in the crank case, filled the tank half full of gas and took them selves off for an extended stay in the wilds of New Mexico and other points in the same approximate lat {tude, Falr weather and moderate winds made the forepart of the trip a joy foraver.
