A Few Automobile Figures.

From the Washington Times.
With IA different makes Of automobiles
priced below 500. and with other low
priced cars constantly appearing on
ping every other section of the world as a
nation of automobile owners.
1T is estimated that the end of this year
will find a total of 4,00O,OO cars owned in
the United States with "a value of $780,
00o,c16. No other product approaching in
unit value the has ever been
sold in such quantities. One citizen In
every % owns u car.
What has made possible this remarkable
record? Price! WHAT has made possible
the price? Intensity of productions! No
industry in the world unless 1t be the
manufacture Of munitions in the war
countries approaches the remarkable eff
cheney in the automobile industry. Nor is
this confined to the manufacture of cheap
the material, the machine work that is in
them are just as low priced as the cheaper
cars. You pay for what you get and get
what you pay for i'm most instances, and
the seeker for expensive body work, lux
uriOuS trimming and great finenesS of de-
tail does not expect to get it for a few
hundred dollars.
What the limits are to the development
and sale of the motor car no one knows.
Cool judges say that this country can use
12, 600, 900 cars, which would mean about
one to every family. The farmer is the
important factor in reaching this total,
and the west is fast becoming the best
territory for sale.
Whatever the prospect. we have not
ter of sales, the matter of low price, or
the matter of perfect efficiency. The COM
petition of manufacturers assures us of
progress along all these lines.

Still unsoId.

For a year after the outbreak of the
war the dye shortage was a very proper
subject for general conversation. 1t was
regarded as serious and people wondered
if we might not see the day when butter
nut brown and a few other homemade
colors would be the only relief in an
otherwise snow-white world, but the dye
shortage dropped out Of sight. People
We're aware that things We're not just as
strange, not to say weird. in the appear
strange hues during their visits to the
laundry; but, on the whole. things were
very much as they had been. The manu-
facturers also subsidized after a period in
which they could see nothing but ruin
unless dyes were forthcoming.
Then came the Deutschland and we re-
newed our interest in dyes. The famous
undersea merchantmen brought US a
cargo of colors, and at last the dyestuff
embargo was broken. Other cargoes We're
to follow. and there was to be great relief
among the dyers.
But the Deutschland is back at home
a recent account. is still in New York
waiting for purchasers. There has been
absolutely ne1.aste to buy, and those who
might buy intimate that they are getting
along very well without German dyes.
They also say that they will continue to
get along until the price. which is from
500 to 1000 per cent above the normal.
comes down..
The conclusion from ali this seems to be
that we were all wrong when we worried
about dyes. We are not helplessly depen-
lent upon any nation for dyes. and never
were. We only thought we were.

It's, a Corn That

RATsoN SAYS, HOWEVER, THAT
HE'D CARRY A CANE ANY
HOW IF HE WANTED TO.
Is it the gout?

Is it the gout?
Is it because he wishes to display
the handsome gold-headed cane and
hasn't nerve enough to wear it with
out limping?
/. Or is he telling the truth about his
alleged infrmity?
These are the questions which ali
Hattiesburg is asking today when the
name OF Mayor Batson is mentioned.
For couple OF days the head of the
city government has been trudging
about town, frown appearing Oh his
otherwise smiling face every time he
puts his foot to the pavement, and
everyone is wondering Just what the
matter is. The Mayor being an oblig.
ing official as well as citizen, has been
ready with an answer.
"On the second toe from the little
one on my right foot there is a corn.
It hurts. In fact, 1t is the most pain
full hurt l ever have experienced.
Every time place my weight on that
foot, the pain is almost unbearable.
That is why l am limping, and the
only reason | carry this cane"
That is the Mayors invariable an
swer. But he sometimes adds this
remark
Il haven't the gout, because
haven't money enough to afford that
disease. only wish that it was. Nc
one would rather have enough money
with which to live high enough to cos
tract the gout, than l. But I must tel
the truth. It's nothing but a plebeiar
corn.
