BOY NEARLY DIES OF POISON ON BLADE OF DEADLY MALAY KRIS

Hy United Prrxtt PASSAIC. N. J.. May 9. Science looked into the dark secret of a deadly Malay poison on the tip of a souvenir native sword here today,’ after saving the life of a 14-year-old scion scratched by the snaky blade. Bill Benson Robinson was reported recovering at General hospital as the cause of an operation upon his leg Saturday became known, but it was learned that pathologists had failed to identify the blade’s germs which produced gangrene infection with mystifying rapidity. Bill's grandfather, William S. Benson, brought him the Malay Kris’ from Bali on his return from a world cruise. He bought it of a bronze-skinned performer in a ritual dance at a Den Pasar temple. The son of Mrs. Henry’ Du Bois. gleeful over the present, leaped with it upon a bed in attacking “Enemies.” The tip of the eight-een-inch blade scratched his leg. The leg quickly swelled. The operation was required two hours later. SCOUTS TO TOUR U. S. Boys Will Visit National Parks on Six Weeks’ Trip. Indianapolis Boy Scouts, under the leadership of Leroy S.

AUTOMOTIVE NEWS HIGHLIGHTS

MARCH SALES DF CARS PASS 173,000 MARK Total Greater Than for •Months of January and February Combined. By Timm Special DETROIT May 9.—With complete new passenger car registrations now available for March) showing a total of 173.287 units for the month, the total for the first quarter this year climbed to 329,416. This compares with 228.065 units in the first quarter of 1933, or an increase of 44.4 per cent. March registrations thus year showed a gain over the combined registration during the first two months of the current year of 10.9 per cent. The figures were 173.287 for March, against the combined total of 156,129 units during January and February this year. *' r '’-'h reflected the increased activity on tne pau oi —-> WL -“ rapidly catching up with the avalanche of back orders which buried sales departments as the year opened. As compared with the registrations in February, March showed a gain of 83.6 per cent. The figures were 173,287 in March, against 94.887 for February. Heavy Gain Over 1933 Compared with March a year ago, when registrations totaled only 78,749 units, the month just past showed a gain of 121.3 per cent. At the present time there is a definite indication that new passenger car registrations will show an appreciable gain in April over March and that truck registrations also will continue the phenomenal gains they have shown since the first of the year. During April, however, there is no gainsaying the fact that retail sales shaded off from their previous high levels. This decline will not be reflected in the April registrations. Later Peak Indicated At the present time reports indicate that there has been a resumption of buying and with the coming of real spring weather actual sales during May are expected to show a good improvement over even the better spots in April. Factory production schedules for the coming month indicate that plant executives have discounted to a great extent the slack periods which developed in April and their projections for the coming month show that they are not in sympathy with the opinions that the sales peak has already passed. Dealers also seem to hold the same opinion as a consensus indicates that they look to May as the peak selling month of the year. Hot Engine Explained Overheating of the engine is caused frequently by a slipping fan belt.

Pontiac Production Set High Mark During April

Output of 825 Cars in One Day Exceeded Several Times. Another automobile manufacturer to report very definite increases in business activities is the Pontiac Motor Company, a unit of the General Motors family. According to word received by W. L. Pavlovski, Indianapolis zone, manager from H. J. Klingler, president and general manager of the Pontiac organization, the increased activity not only includes sales and production but factory employes, pay rolls and more working hours. “Production reached the highest peak to date in April when on several occasions more than 825 new cars were turned out daily. Pontiac should run 800 or more cars a day as long as the seasonal demand continues. and that should be well beyond the usual spring period,” Mr. klingler asserted. “The biggest sales improvement started in March, when 14.891 new Portiacs were built,” he continued. This represented three times the March production of 1933, and the largest month up until that time of Pontiac production since July, 1929. “Although the exact figures are not available at this moment, April promises to exceed March and previous months by a very wide margin with more than 18,600 Pontiacs scheduled for the month. This compares with 8,199 manufactured last April. “What is of greater interest to every one, I believe,” Mr. Klingler said, “is the increased employment

H. J. Klingler that has come as a natural result of increased production. The last available figure shows 6,511 men on the Pontiac pay roll. This is an increase of 12 per cent over the figures of one month ago when we had 5,809 employes. These figures have not been equaled in more than four years. “Along with the high record of employment in the Pontiac Motor Company’s plants the men are receiving a higher average hourly rate of pay than at any time since 1929. During the past year the increase in the average hourly rate was 13.7 cents, or more than 20 per cent.”
