|GAIN IN CAR OUTPUT
N'I6 UNPRECEDENTED

Statisticians of. the automobile indus.
try are preparing estimates of next years
production. Since the beginning Of the
automobile industry the yearly increases
has ranged between 40 and 80 per cent.
Practically every year the actual
has surpassed the predicted output. The
production for 1916 was placed at the
beginning of this year at 100000 cars.
1t is more likely to be in the neighbor-
hood Of 10000. The production figures
for 1915 were in round numbers 800 900.
Next year. 1t Is thought, will be. a
bigger one than this in car output, but.
it Is not expected that the phenomenal
proportionate gain of 1916 will be repeated
in 1917.
A man who occupies a position of PROM
inence in the automobile industry said
last week:
II think we shall turn out 20 per cent
more automobiles in 1917 than we did in
1916. That would be a splendid advance.
In word, we may expect q substantial
increase next year, but It will probably
not be as heavy as that Of this year. We
can count on 100000 new cars going out
in 1917 on the basis of renewals alone.
while the life Of a car is much longer
than f1ve or six years, statistics show
that this Is about the length of time
when the owner of a car decides to
buy a new one. The old cars are not
scrapped, Of course. Many of them 60
into the hands OF persons who are in
the market only for a cut-price second
hand car. More and more of these sec
ond-hand cars of the larger size enter
the jitney service.
80 far as the present situation Is
concerned, It seems to be an act Of ex-
treme conservatism to say that next
year will not be as big a year proper
tionately as this has been. Dealers are
calling for cars faster than they can be
delivered. This is owing to the shortage
of automobile freight cars, which has
been so serious that It may result in
cutting down the output for 1916. Some
Of the factories are running on a cur
tailed schedule because they have no
facilities for shipping cars and no place
to store them. 1t is certainly a healthy
sign of an industry when the number of
deliveries Is less than are called for"

After luncheon visited a large hos

wounded who cannot stand a train

course. to die. Never before had ]
been in q hospital where no women
nurses were allowed, and ! remember
this visit as the only unpleasant ex-
perience of my whole trip. There are
many things that only a woman is
able to do. and IL q woman was needed
anywhere 1t was there in that hospital,
looking after and comforting, as only a
woman can, the recovery or the death
of those desperately wounded men. i
still feel too deeply to bring myself
to talk about this. / am told it is
one of the inevitable horrors Of war.
