See LACK OF CARS
BUT NOT OF BUYERS
Manufacturers Hardly Expect to Be
Able to Meet Demand.

Conditions during the past week
have shown considerable improve
ment with the improvement of senti-
ment. and the lifting of much Of the
cloud OF tax uncertainty that has be-
fogged the minds OF dealers and car
buyers. At the same time the ar
rival of more suitable spring weather
has become sufficiently permanent to
show its effects. The net result has
been a rise in sales, and several man
warnings to their dealers that they
should prepare for a shortage Of cars,
not for a shortage of buyers.
The Willys-Overland Company re-
ports an unusual demand for cars in
the Northwest. and also very good
country, while sales In the East have
not been what they should be. The
official Willys-Overland view Is that
the whole situation will clear up in
a short time, as the people thoroughly
recover from the war hysteria. Over
cent greater than they were at this
time last year, in spite of the fact
that 5000 people are being employed
and go cars being turned out daily.
There is another reason for a short
age of cars, and that is that the fac
NAL production. This Is the view
'point explained by the Pathfinder
company. which points out that some
manufacture II not most, will have
their output curbed, perhaps even en-
tirely absorbed, by the demands Of
the government.
The Nash Motors Company sees for
years ahead a continuance OF pros
perity. based on the fundamental fact
that the United States Is the single
great Industrial country that has not
felt the direct effects of the war. For
the next few years America must be
the workshop of the world. This, Of
course, means more work for the
automobile industry.

DOBLE ADAPTS STEAM
FOR FIELD KITCHENS
New Army Device VIII Be SeIf-Pro-
PEELED Range Unit.

Abner Doble. inventor OF the DobIs
steam power plant for motor-driven
vehicles, hopes soon to be able 70 sub
NIT TO the War Department a plan
for cooking by steam the rations OF
soldiers IN the field and on the march.
Nj Doble Is working on q two and a
half ton truck with Doble steam
power equipment and steam Kitchen
range attachments designed as a sim
gie, seif-propelling unit.
The field. ranges now used by the
plate set up over a small trench. and
on this the kettles are placed. At the
end Of q march the trenches must be
dug, the ranges set up. and the tired
soldiers are obliged 10 rustic for wood
which is used for fuel.
One OF the disagreeable tasks con-
fronting any camp cook Is dishwash-
Ing and the difnculty OF securing an
abundance OF hot water. The Doble
steam generator will raise the tenn
perature Of twenty-five gallons OF
water from co degrees TO the boiling
point In two and one-half minutes.
No other fuel than kerosene is re-
qured. The ignition is by electric
spark, the combustion Is operated au-
tomatically. and there is no great
problem as 70 water, as the steam
Is used over and over by the Doble
condensing system.
The design for the Doble United
States army field kitchen unit Is not
yet completed. II may be worked out

poses is drawn from the generate
used In propelling the truck, or there
may be separate combustion cham

MOTORISTS CAN Aid
COUNTRY With CARS
Many Ways Are Suggested for Do
ing War Service,

One Of the first questions the pa
triotic motoTist asks himself these
days is, How can l help my country
with my car?r Under the caption,
How Your Car Can Help" a writer
in the June issue of American Motorist
points out what the patriotic automo-
bile owner may do to help his coun-
try II he will. Says American Motor
ist. in part:
THE commonest use of the motorist
hitherto abroad has been in driving
trucks and ambulances. This kind OF
service does not offer opportunities to
chance for him to go abroad in that
capacity with a United States army
CORPS
IF you are not satisfied to wait until
the government wants and needs your
car badly enough to commander IL,
then the thing for you to do is to go
out and look up methods OF service at
once. Get in touch with the authori-
ties who are carrying out the plans of
the government, and tell them that
you have a car and want to make it
of service in the work.
Where companies of men are train
ing voluntarily before being enlisted.
there may be many available men who
live outside of town. Why cannot
motorists arrange to transport these
men to and from drill?
Some owners will be willing to use
their cars to gather food products and
carry them to railroad stations or to
other distributing points, even to
cities.
Some cars may be available for
use in farming operations on level
farms where no tractor is owned"

THE CALL ON THE ENGINEER,

The die is cast and the United States
now confronts the gravest situation
since the civil war. From now on 1t
is swords out and strike home until
We have a world peace founded OH
liberty and justice which shall give
to coming generations freedom from
the horrors of war. No man now can
say how formidable or how long will
be the combat before the inevitable
end comes. Certainly no nation, how
ever ferociously military, can with
gathered powers of the rest of the
world.
Whether the struggle lasts one year
or five. 1t will fundamentally turn on
the mastering of industries as well as
OF fighting men, on the organized
skill behind the firing lines as much
as upon the heroism of those who
form them. 1t will he peculiarly a
war of swiftly developed resources,
of rapid gathering of material, of vast
engineering skill and ability, and II
is to this end that the country calls
for the patriotic service of the whole
engineering profession to forge the
thunderbolts which shall be launched
against the enemy.-Electrical World.
