Problem Will Be to Get
7 Better Grades Of Cars

A shortage OF automobiles this
summer is predicted by Sales Man
ager George H. Houliston Of the
Hupp Motor Car corporation.
"The country is taking automobiles
Of the better and popular types faster
than the factories are able to produce
Them" said Mr.. Houliston. "All win
ter the manufacturers have been
struggling with the freight car short
age, but this summer it will be the
consumer who will suffer from the
shortage of the better makes OF auto
mobiles. Even the higher cost of ma
terials and labor and the necessary in
creases-in the prices of all the better
classes of cars has not slackened to
any noticeable degree the demand for
machines. But the difficulties of Sc
curing materials and producing the
cars are so great that none OF the big
concerns will be able to fill their rap
idly increasing orders.
This is evidenced by sales records
of the Hupp Motor Car corporation,
which are typical OF conditions in
most of the leading companies. We
enjoyed in the first months of 1917
the largest quarter in Hupmobile his
tory, yet we were nearly 1000 cars
behind our orders for immediate ship
ment."

opened in 1869 by w. A. Denton.

men. In 1879 the second store was
started by J. G. Harrington.

Enclosed Cars Rapidly
Growing in Public Favor

Most persons have the feeling that
automobile tops are put UP and down
with every change of the weather.
To get some accurate information
on this subject, Newman Samuel,
Franklin dealer in Cincinnati, re-
Gently conducted an investigation
among the Franklin open car owners
in that city, the data showing that
during the last year Is per cent Of
Cincinnati Franklin owners ran their
cars with the tops up all the time.
This investigation is typical of the
discovery people are making of the
practicability of the permanent top,
and the resulting change Of sentiment
is largely responsible for the rapidly
growing popularity of the enclosed
type of car. People Of all climates
are now realizing that with regulated
ventilation the permanent top gives

American steamer Silver Shell which
sunk Alderman submarine in the Med

1T was a splendid piece of work"
Secretary Daniels said, today, land we
are now considering promotion for
Clark who well deserves it,"
The Navy Department received word
some days of the action between the
Silver Shell and the submarine. In
quiries were made promptly of the
naval gun crew at the port, where the
ship had arrived. and the account of
the battle was confirmed. Secretary
Daniels said his advices added nothing

nought Arkansas. Clark has held high
rating among warrant officers for the
navy and was selected to command
the guard on the Silver Shell because
of his ability, proven through years OF
naval service. In some other instances
warrant officers are in command of
the gun crews, although in the ma
jority of cases the men are under COM
missioned officers.
Secretary Daniels did not say what
grade he was contemplating in the
promotion for Clark.
The Silver Shell is the steamer re-
ferred to in yesterdays State Depart

German submarine after an exchange
of 60 shots In running fight of an
hour and a half.
The state department did not an

policy not to disclose the names OF
