Overland Factory Handles a
Freight Car Every Five
Minutes During Day.

In spite Of the fact that more cars
are being shipped daily from the over
land factory, in Toledo. than ever be-
fore, orders have been showing a
steady gain on shipments. In an effort
to make the supply meet the demand
the huge plant is working at full ca
pacity, employing $500 men and keep
ing many of the departments on con-
tinuous twenty -four-hour schedule.
On Monday, Marcl %, the first day
following seven weeks, each OF which
was successfully marked by the largest
business in the history of the company.
$3.50 cars were shipped. The company
first passed the 300-a-day mark just
five weeks before.
In connection with this tremendous
amount of business, figures furnished
by the Overland traffic department for
March are most interesting From
March to %, during which time there
were twenty-three working days, the
report shows that total of 2,476 rail-
road cars, incoming and outgoing, were
handled at the plant.
This is an average of 1l2 cars a day,

minutes and twenty seconds of ten

were inbound, bringing raw material Of
a wide variety and parts from affiliated
Overland plants in other cities. There

crossed. As the season for this In
formation has hardly started. it can
readily be seen that the amount OF
money which will be spent in each OF
the states by the automobi tourists
will run into seven figures.
Whatever estimate may have been
made as to the amount of touring that
will be done this year in the United
States. II will fall far short of the &C
tual count. This view of the situa-
ton Is warranted by the enormous IN
crease in the number Of inquiries be-
ing handled this spring by the A. A. A.
This increase over any previous
years records not only comes from the
membership Of the national body OF
motor car owners, but also through
the various chambers OF commerce and
like business associations between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
During the last week there have
come to the national clearing house
Of touring and route information the
very latest reports as TO present road
conditions between the Mississippi
River and the Sierras.
These reports have been sent in by
twenty-one chambers Of commerce and
road associations and have been added
70 by state highway officials outlining
the work to be done during the next
sixty days. This applies not only to
the east and west main arteries OF
travel. which will be most particularly
used by the automobilist in crossing
the continent, but also TO the many
north and south feeders and scenic de-
tours

AUTO ENTHUSIAST
NOW AT THE FRONT
NJ. Victor Breyer, Well Known
on Broadway, Is with the
English Army.

Many local men connected with the
business and sport of automobiling
will remember NJ. Victor Breyer, who
as editor of "L'Auto" and later of
Echo des Sports" visited this country
for the international road races few
years ago and was regular attendant
al the six-day bicycle races. 1t was d.
rectly through the efforts Of NJ. Breyer
that France took up boxing Of the mod
ern type in preference to la savate, in
which the feet as well as the hands
were used.
NJ. Breyer is now at the front with the
English army, fulfilling the duties OF
officer-interpreter. His present excit-
ing occupation has in no wise dulled his
interest in sports in general, for in q
recent letter to THE Field" Of London,
he declares that sport makes for SOL
diering. and has exercised a tremen-
dous and benehcent effect upon the
French character.
Carpenter, the French boxing cham
pion, VI. Breyer says, is driving one Of
the army motor cars, and is almost as
good and fearless a driver as he was,
and is, of course, wonderful boxer"

MOTOR TRUCK USES GROW
White Sales Show Wide Vari-
ETY. of Employment.

Sales of motor truck fleets reported
by the White Company mark the begin

in motor transports, due to increasing
confidence in commercial conditions.
Although the White Company has made
known only few Of the larger trans
actions, these sales have disclosed a
wide variety Of interesting uses for
which motor trucks are now being pur-
chased.
The Bellevue and Allied Hospitals in
New York, for example, ordered six
motor ambulances to supplement the
three Whites in service at the present
time. The New York Board Of Fire
Underwriters has purchased six one
and one-half-ton patrol trucks, making
a total of fourteen of these trucks IN

HIGH TOLLS ON AUTOS
Freight Rate to Sweden Has
Advanced Enormously.

Foreign dealers dependent upon
American automobile makers for motor
cars are paying the highest toll in
years on shipments abroad, according
to member of Dodge Brothers export
department. In spite Of the excess
charges, however, the dealers in coun-
tries not involved In the war are cheer
fully paying any price for American
machines. to secure immediate delivery.
"On shipments to our dealers In
Sweden we are now paying approx
mately S245 per car, against $50 under
normal conditions" the Dodge man
says. "Owners Of vessels plying to
ports on the North Sea from this coun-
try are taking few chances on the
mine running ability Of their various
captains. Before a vessel leaves New
York all charges on freight have been
prepaid, and with the excess charges In
vogue the boat is practically paid for
in case of accident.
"Many steamship lines are refusing
freight shipments altogether, but in
every case the freight charges plus the
duty on a motor car makes high
priced machine out of popular priced
car before it reaches the consumer"
Foreign dealers are a unit in predict
ing the greatest possible prosperity for
the automobile industry Of America,
following the closing Of the war. The
foreign factories have shut down since
the war, and the trade being built up
at the present time by American max
ers will probably be established on

SEEKS CONTROL OF
DIRT TRACK RACES
New Western Body Aims
to Improve Sport-Will
Issue Sanctions.

At a meeting held In Chicago last
Monday and Tuesday a special COM
mittee delegated by the American AS
ISOLATION of Fairs and Expeditions, OF
which the Michigan State Fair is a
member, created n new organization.
This body will be known as the Inter
national Motor Contest Association and
will conduct automobile racing on all
the tracks of the parent association.
At present fifty state fair tracks and
five hundred dirt tracks in this coun-
try and in Canada are affiliated with
the association.
George W Dickinson, secretary
manager of the Michigan State Fair,
was chosen president of the board Of
directors. and l. S. Mahan, of Okla
homa City, permanent secretary, with
Offices in Chicago, where the head
quarters of the association will be
located. A set Of rules governing
motor track racing will be drawn up
at once.
The first race meeting TO be held
under |. c. ". A. sanction will be at
the Michigan State Fair track in De-
troit on Sunday, May 80, and Monday,
May 81.
Mr., Dickinson, who was chairman Of
the special committee which met in
Chicago, and who has been instrument
tai in the movement all along. made
the following statement to-day regard
ing the new body:
1.-THE aim Of the new institution is
to control and improve auto racing on
dirt tracks By its closer utilization
with track owners. II also Will ellmi-
nate the would-be transforming aggre-
cations that annually spring up in diff
ferent parts of the country and hoId
mismanaged and dangerous track
meets.
"The American Association Of Fairs
and Expositions appealed to the A. A.
A. last year for assistance IN the con-
troll of dirt tracks, and went so far as
to hold a conference IN Detroit with
Richard Kennerdell, the chairman OF
the A. A. a. contest board. He de-
clared he was in no position 10 offer
any hope of any changed condition and
could only listen TO what the islrs hau
to saw, making no promises whatever.
Steps were taken at once to form
the new association. At the request
Of several manufacturers, as well as
the arrangements Of two specially CON
Quoted tracks and certain Pacific Coast
interests, the new organization has
been made broad enough TO al low the
affliation OF all interested in the pro-
motion OF clean automobile sport. The
new association, however, has no IN
tention or aim of conflicting in any
way with the A. A. A"

Unless there is some activity from

Of Importance. Practically no racing ~
planned; apparently none Of the local
bodies contemplates anything in the ma

seems no likelihood that the local mo-
toring organizations will even arrange
run that might appeal to private
car owners.
New York stands almost-if not act

value of concerted action in making
motoring popular. Business and pleas
ure are combined py the motoring or
CARNATIONS Of Chicago, Minneapolis,
Boston, indianapolis, Buffalo and other
large cities which conduct AZ least
one, and, in some cases, several con-
tests of one kind or another each year.
There is more contest activity in the
Long Island Automobile Club, of Brook
lyn, in a week than was shown by all
the Manhattan motoring organizations
last year. During 1914 the L. |. A. C..
conducted more than dozen contests,
each one differing from the others
either in scope or route; 1t has an an

greatest mileage in the season, another

there will be business tinge to these
affairs, since dealers are anxious to

primary object is pleasure. The mo-
florists of Indianapolis have come to
know and appreciate each other
through the activities OF their motor
club.
The dealers are the greatest gamers

There Is a dealers association in New
York. It has done some fair work IN

by fostering the motoring spirit. and
in that way, possibly, it could become

there is a minimum wheel base below

place this figure at $40 inches. How
