SAY CAR SHORTAGE LIKELY 70 REMAIN AS LATE AS JULY Long Wait Built Up Buying Power Factories Haven't Met USED CARS A BOGEY Plants Busy But More Men Apply Than Are Needed Forecast of the situation in the middle of May suggests that the uncomfortable car shortage is like- ly to continue until] at least the first of July, says a message from Detroit. By that date, makers feel, the factories ought to be well caught up on unfilled orders and to be able, on modified production schedules, to handle current busi- uess promptly. This will prove a boon to everybody, from maker to, consumer, for the condition since the first of the year has been hectic, the more so that it has been in such sharp contrast to the ab- normal quiet that prevailed in the closing months of 1927. hile the 1928 production thus far has not been greatly in excess of corresponding periods a year ago, the long wait built up a buy- ing power that it has taken stren- uous effort to cope with and there has been dealer and public dissatis- faction with slow deliveries. Also, there has been a wonderful aceums- ulation of used cars in the hands of buyers, who have been slow to see that even a few extra months lessens the cash value of the cars| they wanted to turn in on a new one. A drive on selling the prospect on the fdea of buying a new car outright and keeping the old one for additional fainily use has met with some success, but May finds most dealers with more used cars thn they know what to do with, Lessening of tension will doubtless he gradual, hut it will be progress- ive, unless all signs fail. Tax-free purchase and nearly stable weather conditions will combine to keep public de- mand up ahove last year's figures. A drop in buying is certain to come hefore long, and the factories are making plans to adjust their sched- ules promptly to meet the situation when it arises, Employment in Detroit proper and in the "machine shop" of which it is the center, continues to show inereases. In the eity, 2.- 627 men were taken on in the last week reported, whiep brings the re-| tal working for the organized em- ployers up té 262,615. This is 26,152 more men than were work- ing in the same factories a year ago.

Owing to the recent controversy between Rome and the Vatican over the question of the Pope's temporal power, it had been expected he would deal with the relations of the Church to the Italian state, but this question was ignored. The encyclical said 81 mankind, individuals, families, subjects, and rulers owe amends to "the Sacred Heart of Jesus atonement for their sins." "Amends are more necessary today than ever because of the universal decline in faith and morals, even in the midst of Christian people and among the ranks of persons pagticu- larly dedicated to God," the Pope said, Cardinals and the personnel of the court presented the Pope greeting Friday in connection with his birthday Monday. The encyclical, without any politi- cal llusions, carries, in the official text published mn the Osservatore Romano a clear reference to the sit: uation in a number of countries, Rights Crushed "From the farthest boundaries of the far east to the west cries are reaching us irom peoples whose goy- crnments or rulers have joined hands against Christ and the church," it says. "We saw in those nations di- vine human rights crushed and tem- ples destroyed irom foundations of religious communities and sacred ir. gins expelled from their homes and jailed, starved, and shamefully abused while flocks of boys a..d girls snatch ed at the lap of the church and were forced to disown or curse Christ and were led to worse crimes of lust, and Christian people were' menaced and oppressed and put to the danger of an atrocious death." The Pope deplores the fact a large number of the faithful have been "forgetful of hereditary tradition by which Christian life is sustained and family life regulated, the sanctity of marriage protected, while educa- tion of youth virtually has been ne- glected or spoiled with too many ef- teminate cares. "Fven the faculty to educate youth in Christian manner has been taken irom the church," the encyclical says, adding : : "Cheistian modesty has been sadly as papal | disregared in the mode of dressing, principally on the part of women, It points out that these ills have been aggravated by the example of those who are shaky in their faith, and who abandon Chriss or partake of the sacred communion in Judas- like manner or go completely over to the enemy, i?

Is it because business ifself has been inarticulate on the subject, or is it the result of the willingness of the usiness man to be sacrificed for an imagined public welfare? Probab- ly neither is' the case, and certainly the latter should 'not:be countenan- ced, for while sacrificial victims may be admirable in the extreme, they have places in the community which are too essential to part with them. Business, it would seem, has good ground ior claiming that it has been overlooked in determining when, how long, and where automobiles shall be allowed to park. And if busi- ness has been shunted aside in the attempts to find a ready solution to an ever-present problem, it is safe to say the reason has been that atten- tion was dirécted to the cars at or beyond the curb and not at what is across the sidewalk. Makes Strong Case There long has existed the need for a thorough-going study of the parking problem in its direct relation to business. Such a study has been undertaken by John lhlder, mana- ger of the civic development depart- ment of the United States Chamber of Commerce, and it has made out a strong case for business in determin- ing how automobile parking shall be handled in commercial districts. Mr. Ihlder's discussion proceeds from the premises "that trade is es- ential to a city, that traffic is essen- tial to trade, and that our task is to find means of meeting adequately the trafic needs of trade." It likewise at the outset cautions against any assumption that there is a solution which is universally applicable, point ing out that "each city has charac- teristics of its own." No city should blindly imitate any parking in its central business dis- trict because Chicago has banned it in the loop is to assume too great uniformity of conditions. Los Angeles tried out a ban on parking for a brief period, and the presideent of the Downtown Business Men's Asso- ciation of that city is authority for the statement that the central busi- ness district was "like a graveyard." Please the Customer In business the essential person is the customer, who if his convenience an preferences are interfered with, will take his custo n clsewhere, 1f in one city the essential customer lives in a nearby residential district or ad- jacent suburb, business must look to his convenience much more than it must where important trade is brought in by customers who arrive by train. The study indicates that "a traf- fic system must take account of both point of origin and destination." De- velopment of outlying business dis- tricts, it is indicated, not only re- moves trade from the central busi- ness section but modifies it to a con- siderable extent. "Remove the bulk of trade in household staples to out- For Stiff Join Pharmacists say that when all other so-called remedies fail Joint- Ease will succeed.

He further points out that progress in. thought on parking has revealed that earlier attempts to restrict it, be- ing based om superficial observation, merely speeded up traffic, with the gesult that through mevement was in- vited, thereby interferring with local business and contributing nothing to it. The study lays down some inter- esting generalizations. It em izes that the principal purpose of a street is to provide access to abutting property, that traffic needs terminals as well as rights-of-way, that an even flow of traffic is better than great speed between stop signals, and that the character and volume of traffic is affected by the location, bulk, and use of buildings. Unless vehicles can stop at or with- in a practicable distance from the destinations of their passengers or of their cargoes, says Mr. Ihlder, abut- ting property becomes inaccessible, and business 'diminishes: And here is the crux of the parking question. The method of parking cars, angle or ranking, and the time a car is al- lowed to stand will be found to have direct affect on the chief purpose of traffic, to reach a. given destination with maximum convenience. Business, accordingly suffers or benefits in pro- portion to the convenience which regulations allow. A distinction in types of business is made by classing them as admin- itrative and retail, since this express- es with somewhat accuracy the dif- ference in the traffic needs of these classes. Whereas traffic is of minor importance to an organization whose customers seldom if ever. visit it, it is of great consequence to a retail business which depends on nearby residence district patronage. The con- clusion drawn is that to provide fa- cilities for the automobile shopper means not only increasing street ca- pacity but making present street ca- pacity available by removing traffic which makes no contribution to the business district, and by regulating the location, bulk and use of build- ings. : Summarizing the discussion, there are definite economic advantages to a large concern in having all its em- loves in one building or group of bo dings such concentration reducing street traffic during business hours, Finally: > Make a traffic survey, including a count of customers as well as ve- hicles, Determine the most important needs of the central business distrigt and list them in order of importance.
