The American Automobile assoaiatlon in taking up with Us 300 affiliated clubs the question of carrying on this campaign is Impressing the need for careful observance of traffic regulations as one of the elements of a courtesy campaign. The traffic officer, the association points out, is only a human being placed In a difficult position because of the necessity of enforcing these regulations, and a little courtesy toward him will eliminate many of the more trh lal arrests that now clutter up our traffic courta. The whole operation of the courtesy campaign, the A. A.

Heavy production continued in the automobile Industry during August, according to reports received from factories bv they National Automobile Chamber of Commerce. While the total production for July reached 244,444, estimates based on shipping reports for th first three weeks of August indicate this figure will be exceeded by more than 20,000 machines. Last year August production exceeded July by 4445 machines, the figures being 176,340 in July and 180,785 m August, 1921. Thus, July, 1922, exceeded the same month a year ago by 38 per cent, while August will apparently increase over August, 1921, bv something like 50 per cent. Production of cars and trucks for the entire industry during the first seven months of 1922 reached 1,295,066, compared with 1,668,550 for the satire year of 1921. The export situation continues to show improvement. Passenger car exports in Mlv exceeded April bv 8 per cent, and June exceeded May by 13 cent. The of revival to be business truck abroad affected by continues per the disturbed industrial conditions in Europe; exports in May, however, exceeded April by 36 per cent; June exports of trucks decreased f per cent under May.
