Motor Cars Deemed
Necessary Germany’s
Industrial Growth
MUNICH, Mar. 24.—(AP).—Ger
j many’s economic life will remain in
its present “patriarchal condition”
until it effects a mass production
of motor cars and goes about its re
construction problems in a thorough
; ly modern way, according to F. J.
j Popp, director of the Bavarian Motor
j Works.
In Germany’s lack of automobiles
! Herr Popp sees the biggest handicap
j to economic and industrial progress
! which the nation faces, and he urg
i es an abandonment of the archaic
idea that a motor car is a luxury
and should bear a tax of 15 per
! cent.
i The mass production of motor cars
lean never attain the same propor
- tions in Europe that it does in Am
I erica, Herr Popp declares. He esti
j mates that only persons in Germany
who earn 2.000 marks, or about
I $500 a month, can afford cars, and
I says there are probable 1,000,000
Germans who have this much in
| come. On this basis he estimates
\ the annual yearly production of cars
for local use at about 200,000. At
present Germany is producing about
30,000 motor cars a year.
Student Bards Write

One Poem Each Week
SEATTLE, Mar. 24.—(AP).—To
produce poets is the purpose of a
course in the dramatic art depart
ment of the University of Washing
ton. Glenn Hughes, assistant pro
fessor in the department, teaches the
class for bards which has already
turned out a book of verse to show
the world that poets are made as
well as born.
In Mr. Hughes’ class no attempt is
made at first to teach rhyme. He
avers that if the students begin on
rhyme their verse will be “doggerel”
or lacking in the elements of poetry.
Free verse is welcomed as allow
ing the students to concentrate on
the images they are creating rather
than on meter and rhyme. Each
student submits a poem every week.

On Killing of Foxes
DUBLIN, Mar. 24.—(AP).—Hunting
in the Free State, a pastime in which
it is said $5,000,000 annually is

sportsmen from England, is threat
ened by the continued destruction
of foxes which are caught in large
numbers and sold for their skins.
There are 23 packs of foxhounds
in the Free State and the govern
ment is urged to protect the sport
by legislation, penalizing the destruc
tion of the animals.

Wine Drinkers Retaliate
When Dealers Lift Prices
BERLIN, Mar. 24.—(AP).—Spanish
wine is driving German wine out. or
the German markets. Therefore the
domestic wine industry is appealing
to the government for a modifica
tion of the commercial treaty be
tween Spain and Germany which ad
mits Spanish wine under such a lowr
duty that German growers say or
dinary Spanish wine can be sold in
large quantities in this country at
45 marks, or about $11 a hectoliter.
The hectoliter contains 26 gallons,
so the cost of Spanish wine per gal
lon in large quantities here is about
41 cents. German wine-growers say
it costs them from two to four times
this amount to produce wine.
Portuguese wines also enter Ger
many under favored-nation treat
ment, and an agreement has been
reached with Greece which the wine
industry says threatens to give
Greek wine a chance in the German
market. Ordinary French wines also
sell on the German market at lower
prices than ordinary German wines.
But the wine producers get little
sympathy from the wine consumers
of the land. The latter recall the
high retail prices when the wine
market was in German hands, not
long ago, and aver that this grasping
attitude resulted in legislation which
accounts for the keen competition
of today.
