uitVKULtI OUTPUT AT
HIGH RECORD POINI
LARGE INCREASE IN BUSINESS
OVER MARCH YEAR AGO NO
TED BY OFFICIALS OF MOTOR
COMPANY.
Detroit, Mich.—Chevrolet’s pro
duction during March set anew high
mark for the year to date and shat
tered all monthly production records
for the past 34 months, M. E. Coyle,
president and general manager ot
Chevrolet Motor Company, announ
ced today. March also established
a first quarter’s output unapproacli-'
ed in the last 4 years.
Output for the month was 110,266
cars and trucks, the third largest
March output in the history of the
company, and the largest March since
] 929.
I
Production for March, Mr. Coyle j
said, was 285.1 per cent of the pro- J
duction in March, 1033. Production !
for the entire first quarter was 223.-;
(>lO as compared with 148,336 in 1
the corresponding period last year.
This production record is consider
ed particularly impressive in view
ol the fact that, in 1032 and 1933
the manufacturing and assembly
plants were in full .operation at the
turn of the new year, in 1034 not
one passenger car had been assemb
led until early in January. Within
three months, starting literally from ;
Ihe beginning, the output has been ]
moved up to u daily total of above
5,000 units.
Chevrolet entered April operating
at capacity, with steadily increasing
shipments leaving the company’s nine
assembly plants for dealers and im
mediate delivery to purchasers.
Orders on hand at the beginning of
April, Mr. Coyle said, and the con
stant influx of orders to the central
office sales department, indicate
capacity operations for months to
come.

Zoo Experts Say Humans
Give Disease to Animals
Animals most difficult to acclimatize
to our weather conditions, says a
writer in the Philadelphia Record, are
the howling monkeys, the orang
outang, North African and Indian
birds. Practically all others become
accustomed to North American cli
mates comparatively easily. The
best examples of these are the camels,
which reach the place where they eat
snow—when they can get it —and an
telopes, which frequently are found
lying in the snow and apparently en
joying it. Indian monkeys become ac
climatized after a single winter in
this climate.
Contrary to a somewhat popular
belief, pneumonia is not prevalent
among menagerie animals. In fact, it
is about the least common of animal
diseases. It was pointed out that
pneumonia and colds are not directly
due to cold weather, but rather to
crowding, which is a result of the
cold, and to a lack of exercise, anotli
er direct results of inclement weather.
ft Is the observtinn of zoo experts
that humans are usually responsibile
for cases of pneumonia, laryngitis and
allied diseases among the animals.
Healthy wild animals have an al
most unbelievable health reserve, it
was pointed out, and unless imperiled
by particularly virulent germs, will
throw off impending illness if given
proper diet and care.
China Always Called the
Land of Many Religions
Three religions are acknowledged
by the Chinese as Indigenous—Con
fucianism. Buddhism and Taoism.
There is no way of knowing how the
bulk of tiie population is divided
among these three. The bulk of the
people, however, are Buddhists, while
most Chinese profess and practice all
three religions, which are not incom
patible.
Buddhism, which arrived in China
some 1,300 years ago, has a very
elaborate ritual in that country. So
has Taoism, which antedates the in
troduction of Buddhism, and which
was originally a pure philosophy, but
which has copied the Buddhists cere
monial. Confucianism has little out
ward show, except in ancestor wor
ship, which is practiced everywhere
throughout the country and had the
sanction of Confucius.
There are Mohammedans in every
province of China, and they probably
number nearly 10,000,000. Chinese
Christians number some 3,000,000.
Black Venus of Brittany
One of the most curious relics of
paganism remaining in a Christian
country is the gigantic black stone
figure of a woman which is to be seen
in a forest of the District of Morbihnn
in Brittany. It is known as the “Black
Venus,” hut probably dates farther
back than the time when the Greeks
and Romans worshipped that goddess.
Antiquaries assert that this figure be
longs to the age of the serpent wor
shippers. one of whose subterranean
temples is in the neighborhood. This
would make the figure far older than
the Christian era. The statue is that
of a huge, uncoutli woman, with a
sullen, angry countenance, her form
enveloped in n loose mantle. The
superstitious Bretons have always
worshipped the figure, asserting that
It has power over the weather and
the crops. If the idol is neglected
they declare that the grain dies on
the ear, and is the anger of the “black
woman” over Morbihan.
Chinook Winds
A Chinook is a wind which blows
from west or north over the Rocky
mountains, where it descends as a dry
wind, warm in winter and coo) in sum
mer. It is due to a cyclone’s passing
northward and continues for a few
hours to several days. In Oregon and
Washington the term is sometimes ap
plied to a warm, moist southwest
wind. The wind was so called by the
white settlers of Astoria, because it
came from the direction of the
Chinook camp.
Speed of Rear Auto Wheels
The Bureau of Standards advises
that all automobiles are provided with
an arrangement of gears, known as the
differential, through which the power
is delivered from the drive shaft to the
wheels. By this means each wheel is
allowed to revolve in exact proportion
to the distance covered, so that no
slipping is necessary while rounding a
curve, in which case the outside wheel
necessarily covers a greater distance
than the inside wheel.
Rate of Finger Nail Growth
The nail on the middle finger grows
faster than any other, while the
thumb nail is the slowest growing
nail. Asa rule, the nails on the right
hand grow faster than those on the
left. The nails ori an invalid's hands
grow considerably faster than on the
hands of a healthy person. Taken on
the average the rate of growth is one
eighth inch a month, or from one to
one and one-half Inches a year.
Murphy’* Winter
Murphy's Winter is the name popu
larly given in England to the winter
of ISJ7-38. Patrick Murphy in his
“Weather Almanac” prophesied that
January 20, IS3S. “would ho Fair,
probably lowest degree of winter tem
perature.” This day turned out to be
the coldest in many years, and. as a
resuit, the edition of the almanac was
rapidly exhausted and Murphy made
a considerable profit.
