M. Williams, president of the Marmon Motor Co., contends. “There are several factors which con- tribute to this conclusion. The automo- bile has become such an accepted element of personal business and con- venience that the growth of the indus- try and the establishment of new sales records, vear after year, cannot be re- garded in any but the light of nor- mal and substantial progress. “Years ago, economists talked in an alarming manner of what they termed the saturation point in the automobile industry. This point, when production of automobiles was scheduled to over- step the bounds of the economic law of supply and demand, has never been reached. although the annual output of motor cars has far exceeded all earlier predictions of even the most dyed-in-the-wool optimist. Saturation Point Out of Sight. “As 1 see the trend of future devel- opment, the so-called saturation point is as far ahead now as it was 10 years in fact. Production in r to be even greater than it is evident that there is room in this country for several million more cars, in addition to the annual demand for replacement purposes. Pros- perity has become the keynote of Amer- ican business and I konw of no indus- try to which this may be better applied than the automobile industry. “Two other factors enter into an out- look of continued healthy and substan- tial progress in the manufacture of motor cars. “The first of these is the gerat flex- ibility of the industry which makes it possible for manufacturers to adapt themselves to prevailing business con- ditions by regulating their production and introducing new and salable fea- tures of design and construction on comparatively short notice. Export Business Grows. “The second is the remarkable growth of export business of American manu- facturers and the rapid expansion of the market for American cars not only in South' America and Europe, but in other parts of the world. Right now, a substantial percentage of the annual output of motor cars is shipped abroad and it is evident that the rest of the world, in acknowledging the United States as the automobile leader, ac- cepts the American car as the best produced. “All in all, it is my opinion that the automobile industry may look forward to a period of continued growth and prosperity, not only in 1929, but in many more years to come.” MENT AND CRITICISM FROM THE SPECTATORS. e B You'D BETTER GIVE ME A DEMONSTRATION, REGINALD DOESN'T SEEM T UNDERSTAND L MOTeRS AT ALL !~ 1w .

Sir Arthur Stanley, in his comment on the annual report of the Voluntary Hospitals of Great Britain (excluding London), draws attention to the enor- mous burden placed by motoring acei~ dents on the activities of these institu- tions, and points out that $1,150,000 was expended last year on the treat- ment of such cases, of which only :‘1230‘.'000 was contributed by the pa- nts. One-Armed Driver Sentenced. A one-armed man in Bexhill, Ireland, was sentenced to four months for be- ing drunk in charge of a car, $80 for dangerous driving and $40 for driving without a license and was disqualified from driving for five years.

He will also ask that the law be changed so that persons under 21 will be in- eligible to drive automobiles. . Ruling on Pedestrians. “When a pedestrian steps from a curb to cross the street, having a green signal with him, he does so by way of invita- tion and he cannot be charged with contributory neglect if the signal switches when he is in the street,” says ©Ohio Court of Appeals.
