MOTOR CAR FIELD
British Drop Behind Be
cause They Cater To the
Rich.

LONDON. July ao.-British motor
car manufactures have catered to the
rich. the American TO the average
man, and that is why the British are
lot able TO complete against the
American cheap car.
This Is the conclusion OF writer
in the Westminster Gazette, who puts
the case in these words:
u foresaw the trouble that was
coming from America, and knew that
we could not hold our own against
the enlightened methods Of that coun-
try unless we made a determined eff
fort to get rid OF the etfete system,
which now makes US look rather silly
as an automobile producing country
in the eyes OF cur competitors across
the Atlantic.
The British manufacturers appeal
has been mainly made TO the volup-
tuary, and he has never seriously en-
deavored to consider the motorcar
from the point OF view OF the million.
The Autocar. journal devoted TO
motoring. asks editoriaIly this week
what will become Of the British motor
industry after the war. II points out
that every day Of the war the Ameri-
can manufacturers become stronger
and stronger and the European weak
er and weaker. Protection is suggest
ed as remedy. To this the Westmin-
lister critic replies:
The present trouble has not arisen
out OF free trade. nor can it be wholly
cured by protection. II is up TO Brit
ish firms TO assert themselves now by
throwing overheard all the wretched
traditions which are holding them
back-to abandon the useless practice
OF producing too many models Of CON
staHtly changing them and OF selling
them naked and bare. as is done in
innumerable cases, without tires.
without body and without the score of
things which they know from expe-
rience the user must OF necessity have.
The British motorcar must be made
and sold as complete thing, self con-
tanned and equipped as nearly every
American cheap car Is equipped"

Crops Are Prolific
In West Virginia

PARKERSBURG. W. Va. July 30
Warran Haas OF the International Rev
cnue Department. has returned from
an official visit to Calhoun and Gil
mer counties, where he spent some
days. Speaking of conditions in
the upper Little Kanawha Valley. he
said that the crops are larger than
ever known in the two counties
named, especially in the hill country
adjacent to the West Fork. He
named one farmer who had 104 dozen
OF wheat on small patch OF ground
which yielded slightly over one hun.
bred bushels. and Of another farmer
who harvested 1s5 dozen of oats
from a three.acre patch. The growth
of the corn in that entire section,
he says. is absolutely astonishing ana
there will be the greatest crop of
hay ever known in the county Many
OF the farmers are engaged in stock
raising. some Of the finest cattle be-
ing shipped from there to the eastern
markets. The farmers are receiving
higher prices fox their cattle and
sheep than ever before. Verify that
section is flowing in milk and honey,
according 10 the statements OF Mr.
Hays.
