Outlook for the Auto Industry

American workman. together with the very
high-class American machinery with which
the American factories are equipped. all
tend to bring cars through az a rapid pace
with parts inachined so that standardiza-
ton and interchangeability are among the
features that recommend the product to
the most discriminating purchasers.
-Four or five years ago the buyer was
not sure Of securing duplicate parts, but
the reverse is true today. The buyer of a
car may not desire parts that have become
worn, but he wants to know that they can
be obtained, and furthermore that they
will tit. People who are in position to
study the automobile industry and who are
We'll acquainted with its past, make the
prediction that 1911 will go down in auto
mobile history as the greatest since the
inception OF the automobile in this country.
Il is certainly safe to predict that at least.
II not more, than 100000 cars will be made
and sold in this country during 1871. Their
values win be over S225 100000
These are gigantic figures even in these
days Of big businss transactions, but even
now the automobile is in its infancy
so far as production and buying is con-
cerned. It has passed its infancy and in
fantile diseases in the matter OF perfection
and Standardization.

General sales Manager the EMF CO.
That America reads the world in auto
mobile manufacture has been demonstrated
conciusively by the incontrovertible evil
dcnce presented at the many shows which
have been held throughout the country dur
ing the last few months.
Much has been said and written relative
to foreign cars being better constructed
than are those OF America. This condition
may have existed during the infancy Of the
industry. but II America was a little slow
in getting started it did not take long for
the American designer TO catch up with
and pass his foreign competitor.
Eleven years Of progress since the hold
ing OF the first automobile show has
brought about a wonderful advance Half
OF that time the progress was compare
lively slow. but during the last five years
gigantic strides have been made by the
big organizations that have been making
and marketing American motor cars.
New industrial captains. great engineers.
skilled workmen and the finest Of ma
chinery have all contributed to the almost
perfect car of today. The automobile is
no longer a luxury, but has become a
necessity. ranking in usefulness with the
graph. Anything becomes a necessity that
bridges distance and annihilates time
In materials the merits of the American
cars have advanced wonderfully. The
steels and other articles used have been
improved until they supply the maximum
Of efficiency. For design, It cannot be de-
MED that American body designers are in
a class by themselves. and where four or
five years ago we copied the foreigners,
the recent shows prove that it is the Amer
lean who is now being copied.
For quality. the American maker,
whether he builds a car at $500 or at 5000,
doffs his hat to no one. Cars such as the
EMF 80" selling at Zoo and Si,1O0. and
the Flanders listed from 500 to $500, have
revolutionized the industry and have done
much to popularize the American cars.
Foreigners cannot compete with such cars
because the European manufacturers do
not produce in enormous quantities. and,
consequently, cannot buy crude materials
at rock-bottom prices.
Each year has seen rne quality of all
good cars improved, whether the improve
ment has been in STEEL leather wood, rub
Der or paint Naturally prices have not
come down with a thud, as the public
would like, but it has been because better
cars were being built. There is not likely
to be very much reduction in the price
Of motor cars in the future because the
price Of raw materials has been coming
up considerably, offsetting in a large de-
gree the decreased cost in manufacturing
which comes from greater production. The
purchaser can feel assured, however, that
the American motor car builder is giving
the very best machine in the world at the
price.
Pessimists and foreign manufacturers may
declare that because of the rapidity with
which the American factories are producing
cars. the best In finish and design is neg
lected. This is a fallacy, as is evidenced
by the workmanship and finish of nearly
all the American cars. The high-grade

A. A. U. Field Meet
Dates Early to Get
In the College Men
Efforts Being Made by Management
to Get University Athletes
TO Enter.

NEW YORK, April 1-since the national
championship committee OF the Amateur
Athletic union decided that the annual
track and field meet would be given at
Pittsburg on June 30 and July ! there has
been lot Of discussion throughout the
country about the early date selected
Some think that It is too early and others
arc Of the opinion that It IS not, and to the
latter class belong the enthusiasts who ad-
vance the theory that at that season Of the
year q lot Of college men are usually IN
form and that the meet win just catch
them. Those who view matters In a more
sceptical light differ from this theory and
make no secret OF the statement that ordi-
narily the college man does not care a
straw about the Amateur Athletic union
meet. his mind being set on the intercoi-
legiate meet.
Later IN the fall when the college athlete
has had his fling for the summer he has
been tempted to train for some big athletic
club but even then he has been a failure in
the majority OF cases. His heart is not In
his work and he only enters the game
mechanically. as It were, not caring
whether he wins Of loses. In the bailiwck
OF the Metropolitan association the date
seems to be suitable and though the gen
eral run Of athletes may be in better fettle
around the end Of August or the first OF
September they are not kicking about the
meet at the end of June. Owing to the In
door meets the gymnasium work most
athletes in the east keep in trim all the
time and are ready for either an indoor or
outdoor tussle at very short notice.
IN the middle west and out on the Pa
cifio coast the date is more suitable to the
athletes than any time of the whole year.
The atmosphere they think will be lighter
in the east at that time than in the fall,
though indeed II would be hard to select a
day in Pittsburg when the air would be
minus smoke, microbes and smells. But It
win be better than New Orleans where
some of the New Workers. nearly lost their
lives with the heat The heat cost the New
York Athletic club the championship. One
of the men iublant over the early date is
Ralph Rose. He nearly died at New Or
leans and was barely able to defend his
title from Pat Mcdonald. That the gigan-
tic Irishman gave Rose a scare has leaked
out since and the form shown by Nc
Donald kept the record holder from coming
to Madison Square Garden for the indoor
championship Rose thought he would take
n further chances and he headed for home
the moment he donned his street clothes.
When he comes east again he win be in
his best trim for the Pittsburg fixture.

Grant Wins His Races
Through Generalship
Famous Driver Holds His Car to Con-
slant Schedule and Puts On
Squirt at End.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind. April 1.-TIow did
Harry Grant manage to win the great
Vanderbilt cup classic twice In succession?
This question often asked has been an
swered by the famous pilot himself. and
the answer ia merely an explanation OF
how he drives every motor contest In
which he engages. Grant has entered his
reliable Alec. "Old No. IS" the same with
which he has won both Vanderbilt cup
events. in the 5oO-mile international sweep
stakes race at the Indianapolis motor
speedway, next Memorial day, May 80.
Thirty cars have been entered in the
$4,000 race and many OF them are special
racing cars built especially for the event.
Against these will be the Alec car, which
Grant hurled round the Vanderbilt course.
He has the greatest faith In his ability to
win the big race with "Old No. ls" Grant
is regarded by many motoring experts as
the greatest American driver. His methods
are very different from those which dis
tinguish some OF the more brilliant and
spectacular drivers. He seldom shows any
desire early in the race to force to the
front or to set pace. His method is more
conservative. Someone said. Grant
doesn't run race; he thinks IT," Great
