FLANDERS WRITES

Gradually Simmering Down To the
Survival Of the Fittest, President
of EMF Declares.

The October issue of American In
dustries contains an exhaustive arti-
Gle on The truth about the automo-
bile industry" Under the sub-cap-
ton OF Call of the Worlds Markets.
President Walter e. Flanders, of the
EMF, writes:
Recent developments In the indus
try OF manufacturing and selling au-
tomcbiles indicate that the time Is
not far distant when this form of
effort wilt settle down to the lines
OF all other varieties of enterprises
having for their purpose the manu-
facture OF q staple article.
That this stage Of development IL

those interested in all firmly estab-
lished automobile factories. The ar
rival OF an era In which merit of
product will be genuine factor In
the making OF sales IL the natural re-
suit. Organization In the manufac-
turing department as well as In the
selling lines will count, and the in
dustry will eventually proceed on a
systematic basis very similar to that
now In vogue In the manufacture Of
sewing machines and other time-sav-
ing devices Of approved merit for
which there exists q sure and deter
minable demand.
During the transitory era of the
industry there will be a consistent
wedding out OF the undesirable ele.
ment. Manufacturers who have chung
too long to obsolete models will have
to sacrifice them at forced sales and
90 out Of business. The industry will
gradually simmer down to a survival
OF the fittest. Factories which have
employed rush methods in manufac.
quences In the failing of demand for
their product. Wasteful methods OF
manufacture must be replaced, where
still prevalent, by machine work
which Is more accurate and econom.
ical.
The complaint of over-production
will be limited, In the future as at
present, to those firms which have
over-reached themselves by frantic
methods OF manufacture, and to the
makers of cars of type In which
one in itself constitutes individual
over-production.
The markets OF the world outside
the United States beckon to the
American manufacturer of motor
cars. No manufacturers equipment
is now complete without Canadian
factory to care for the trade In the
Dominion and the other British pos
sessions.

ments."

Three Irishmen were crossing the
bridge of Cork, and one of them, hap
pening to look over the parapet, felt a
strong desire to touch the water. But
they could not see how it was to be
done.
At last it was suggested by one Of
them that by hanging on to the feet of
each other they might accomplish what
they desired. They made the attempt
but found that their combined length
was not quite sufficient to reach the
water.
Then the one at the top cried to the
undermost, "Arrah now, Paddy, hold
