DODGE CARS USED
 AS UTILITY AUTOS Percentage of Owners Who Drive for Pleasure
 Grows Smaller

'The percentage of car owners who drive for pleasure only Is growing smaller every year, says George c. Hubbs. assistant general sales man ager of Dodge Brothers, Detroit.
 Motor cars today are an economic necessity and this is true particularly of tn. cars in our class. Even the wealthy man, who has one or more big cars for pleasure touring, is turn ing to the smaller, car with its light upkeep for business purposes.
 "We had striking example Of this immediately after the last time Gal weston was swept by the sea. Natu- rally we looked for slump in busi- ness in the Galveston territory, but instead our representative there made demands for more cars and specified roadsters. When we inquired we as
 certained that the big men of the community, who were throwing them selves heart and soul into repairing the damages done by the waters, were buying Dodge Brothers roadsters SC that they could get around the city more quickly.
 Tt is the fact that more and more people are buying cars from the utili tarian principle that the business has grown despite the general business slackening up in some sections of tho country Cars are no longer lux uries but necessities, and there is always z demand for necessities"

COST OF MATERIALS GRAVE MENACE ID THE AUTO INDUSTRY War Brings Rise in Cost of Manufacturing in the United States, Says
 Chalmers

An increase of $100 in the price of the Chalmers Six-40 touring car, from $1350 to $1450 effective March 1, was the sensational anno1pcement made during the recent Chicago automobile show by executives of the Chalmers Motor company. Coming at the heels of sharp advances in the cost of of all raw materials, the Chalmers announce ment is expected to be the forerunner of similar policies throughout the en- tire industry.
 Raw materials have advanced in price to new high levels in the past few months, and the end is not yet in sight" said Hugh Chalmers. We have found it impossible to manufacture a car conforming to our standards of quality at anywhere near the former production costs. Rather than sacri- flee quality or cheapen our product in any way, we have decided to advance the cars price.
 q predict general upward revis- ion of motor car prices all along the line before many months There is no other way out for the automobile manufacturers.
 "The European war has been respon- sible, in a great degree. for the big in crease in the costs of raw materials The tremendous demand for steel, cop
 
 and other materials for use in the manufactur of war munitions has made prices high and deliveries uncertain.
 'Vanadium steel which sold at $1.S5 Q pound only a year ago, has jumped to $S.5O pound. Aluminium has nearly tripled in price, going from 19 cents a pound to 53 cents pound. Other sen sational increases are Steel bars, from s11O a hundred to $2 hundred; high speed steel from $1.05 a pound to $3.35 leather, from 20 cents a foot to B cents a foot; copper, from IA cents 2 pound to "A cents pound.
 Added to the many troubles of the motor car maker is the difficulty in SC curing machine tools and automatic machinery of the latest type Factories turning out shrapnel and other muni tions of war have practically corrallet the output of the machinery makers.
 "Steel mills are making no promise! of delivery within the six months pc riod. and parts manufacturers are ac cordingly held up in their production Almost every concern in the metal in dustry is turning down orders, hay ing accumulated a quantity sufficien to keep them at top speed for months to come.

PACKARD COMPANY SAYS ITS EMPL0yES
 MUST BE AMERICANS
Large Automobile Concern Takes Important Step in Favor of Real Ameri-
 cans" First

For the first three days of this week, an increase of 50 per cent in applica- tions for first papers toward Amer ican citizenship. as compared with nor nal business, is reported by the au- thorities in Detroit. The announce ment to 12,soo employees of the Pack ard Motor Car company by Vice Pres ident and General Manager Alvan Macauley, that promotion in the Pack ard institution will be given only to
 American citizens or to those who have signified their intention of be- coming citizens, was posted Monday.
 The opinion given at the office of the county clerk was that the increase is directly due to the Americans First policy at the Packard shops, and the feeling in sympathy with the an nouncement in other industrial con- cerns of the city.
 Not one resignation has resulted al the Packard factory, J. H. Wheeler, su- pervisor of labor, has announced, al. though it is estimated that 20 per cen, of the workers are not yet American citizens. a
 Foremen report that the announce. HeuC S6ueTdlly lldS Dccn met WlCn ap- proval by the workmen. They under. stand that there is no intention to dis. I charge anyone who is not a citizen, ant | that the action taken is prompted by broad and patriotic spirit. "The mer are of the opinion that they probably would find this sentiment at an, American manufacturing institution said Weller.
 In this letter to other manufactu I rers, outlining the new policy, MT Macauley said:
 l No nation in the history of tn, world has ever tried to work out it. destinies with so heterogeneous a popu
 lation as the United States. The grea war of Europe forces us to acknowl l edge how far we are from having
 melted down our population to com
 mon basis of thought and ideals. Tn,
 war has shown us that we have a grea national weakness. Our hyphenate, citizens of all nationalities are pullin, apart according to the thoughts an, ambitions of the land that gave then l birth.
 "How to better this condition is on of the grave problems that confront us as a people. It cannot be accom- pIished by any single movement, but i can be done in the course of time. i all Americans interested in our na
 tional future will do each what he cal

PAIGE EXHIBIT BIG
 SUCCESSAT SHOW Sales Manager Says Crowds Turned to Cars of
 Known Value

From a business standpoint the Chi cago automobile show was the best and most productive in the Is years history of motor car exhibitions. While the New York and Detroit shows were far in advance of anything heretofore experienced in those cities, reflectlng, as they did, the general high pressure of prosperity the industry is now en- toying it remained for Chicago to do more in the way of actual business. Commenting on this fact, Henry Krohn.
 sales manager of the Paige-Detrolt Motor Car company, says:
 "Our Chicago experience was reve-
 lation to us, in spite of great eXpec-
 tancies due to previous success at the
 earlier shows. The business transacted was far in excess of any other Chi Cago record and was greater than that in New York.
 ''There were good practical reasons for Chicago's triumph. The so-called sensations had been sprung; the fads and fancies had had their little hour; the public was more or less familiar with the programme. They were therefore, in a mood to examine, to consider and to buy real motor cars of known worth and value and showed only a passing interest in the 'sensa- tions.'
 ] "Cars like the Paige-cars that had demonstrated what they could do Tn ac- l tual use and were offered as plain dol | lar for dcllar propositions, built along 1 proved lines-drew the crowd and cap 1 tured the orders. The Paige booth was crowded at all times by people WhG knew something about motor cars ane l past performances.
 1 There was less of the glitter ane 1 liurly- -burly of a sensational entertain
 ment and great deal more of the at | mosphere of a great commercial eX 1 change. People were really there tt buy real cars and that is why Chicago
 has proved the biggest success thu' l far"
