MOTOR SHOW OPENED

ATTENDANCE OF DUKE OF YORK. ADVANCE OF BRITISH INDUSTRY. British Official Wireless. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, Oct. 11. The Duke of Kent opened the 28th international motor exhibition at Olympia, when an array of motor-cars, nearly all of which show important improvements over last year’s models, was on view. There was an exceptionally large attendance, and the presence of more visitors from overseas was particularly noticeable. The Duke mentioned the fact that the British motor industry within the last twelve, months had been able to expand its trade both at home and abroad to such an extent that it had been possible to take off the unemployment register and replace on the roll about 100,000 men. “As a motorist myself,” he said, “I can appreciate that the quality of your products has been even further improved during the year, and I am glad to see that one of the various devices to increase safety on the road has been the keynote of designers and production engineers.”
