AUTO BUSINESS
STILL IN INFANCY
Surface of Immense Trade
Possibilities Is Only
Scratched as Yet.

Nearly 100000 automobiles have
been sold IT, the United States since
1902, when the business may be said
really to have begun.
The number of these machines that
have gone in the scrap heap is as yet
negligible for commercial reckoning.
The Oldest is only twelve or thirteen
years old. Every one has seen the
quaint, oldtimers in daily service.
These facts cause many 20 wonder
where the hundreds of thousands Of
automobiles manufactured each year
will 20. They figure that there is now
one automobile 70 each seventy or
eighty people in the country. How
mary possible purchasers remain 10 be
supplied?
Without taking into account the
scrapping Of old machines. which must
soon become a real factor. II may be
said that. stupeudous as the business
is. the possibilities have not been much
more than scratched"
Not quite 90 per cent OF the auto
mobiles IN use are owned by farmers
and 20 the farmer the automobile is
far more a utility than a luxury. II
has become a real farm necessity, so
recognized by all the farm press.
There are in the United States, &C
cording to'the census Of 1910, 6,36l, 500
farms, with a total value Of S40,99l,-
4g9. OCEAN average value a farm Of
S6,440.
A supply averaging one automobile
70 a farm is a long way in the future
but the demand is not inconceiyable.
Some day, without a doubt, II will be
approximated-Gnd when , o-@~ .
will represent degree e prSys~ss
and efficiency as far Gheas % the pres
ent as the supply Of that day will be
ahead Of the present supply.
Thus far the supply Is only about 10
per cent. The manufacturers would
have 70 produce over 100000 more
ears TO al the farm market alone.

Army FIVE FALLS
BEFORE QUAKERS
PennSylvanians Outplay the
Cadets in Fast Game of
Basketball.

West Point, y. y. Jan 2.-Playing a
fast and dashing game, the University
Of Pennsylvania five defeated the West
Point cadets at basketball this after
noon by a score Of % to II. 1t was the
first game the Army has lost this sea-
son, and the defeat was al, the more
CALLING to the Cadets because the Navy
showed Pennsylvania under only last
Wednesday at Annapolis.
1retty passing and a deadly accuracy
in goal shooting both from the field and
foul line were responsible, for Pennsyl-
vania's victory. Williamson, for Penn
sylvana, shot four difficult goals from
S. rimmage, and McNichols's eleven sure
shots from the foul mark out of thir-
teen chances were features OF Penn
sylvania's scoring.
The Army displayed weakness in goal
shooting, getting only eight out of sew
enteen trials from the foul line. Oil
phant, the football star, made his bow
at basketball to-day. Howells fine
guarding was a feature of the Cadets
play. Although the Army played fast
in he last half the Quaker held their
own and the soldiers were unable to set
close at any time during the last
period.
The first half ended - TO Z in favor
Of Pennsylvania. Both Oliphant and
Williamson were disqualified in the last
half for too many personal fouls.
