Motor Cars
Foresight and Courage.

Automobile values as at present
established are largely due to the
foresight and courage of Mr.. John
n. WHY'S, the president Of this
institution,
He foresaw the universal use of the
automobile and had the courage
to produce quality cars in larger
quantities than they had ever
before been produced.
Steadily increasing production made
possible savings and economies
which steadily reduced costs and
repeatedly established new values.
Eight years ago, with a net worth of
little more than $50, 900 this com
pany produced A65 cars.
This year, with a net worth Of over
SOS, 100000 we must produce
over 1000 cars to fill our dealers
contracts.

Why Flour Is High

Bakers seem disposed to place the
blame for the high price of -four upon
millers or grain men, and here is much
general loose talk, especially in the
vicinity of Washington, about food
barons," grain spectators" and men
who are profting at the expense of the
public necessities. All this talk might
be excusable if the reasons why wheat
and -four are abnormally high were not
so perfectly obvious that child can
understand them. The matter is no
deep, dark mystery, involved in market
technicalities; it is as simple as sum
in elemental arithmetic. The Allies,
in their desire TO secure all the wheat
they could, and to satisfy both their
present and future requirements, mere
" cornered the American wheat mar
ket. They not only bought all the
actual wheat available, but they pur-
chased future options until they held
practically all the wheat in sight.
Cause number one. Cause number
two: The Department of Agriculture,
with the laudable desire of increasing
the production, published most pessi-
mistic crop reports, and encouraged
statements TO the effect that the world
was face 20 face with actual famine.
Whether this has stimulated produc-
ton or not, it certainly alarmed the
consumer, and sent him posthaste 10
buy all the -four he could get, in order
TO hoard it against approaching need

Steel for Railroad
Equipment Ordered
In Large Quantities

Steel mills, overwhelmed with bust
ness, present and prospective, have
turned cncrget.cally to the market fox
raw materials, purchasing pig iron,
scrap and alloys in heavy volume in
the past few days. Railroad equipment
manufacturers also have continued ac-
lively in the market for pig metal.
The greatest activity is in basic iron
sales, which have aggregated nearly
100000 tons for shipment during the
last half of this year and the first half
of 1918, but with furnace capacity
largely sold for this years delivery the
demand is not being fully satisfied.
Prices have advanced another dollar per
ton and the prospect is for another
sharp rise soon.
Plans of the army department are as
Stunning definite form, and the indica-
tion is that the steel mills will soon be
called upon to supply large tonnage of
structural shapes for the building Of
warehouses at army environments for
ordnance and commlssary stores, for
garages and hangers. 1t is estimated
that about 100000 tons will be needed
in the next year.
The Navy Department has taken bids
on 1880 tons Of steel for machine and
structural shops, foundries and power
houses at navy yards. Awards of these
contract will be made soon. Private
contracts for about 5000 tons will also
be made. The Shipping Board has
placed orders for $4,000 tons more Of
plates and shapes, and other ship con-
struction work contracted for by the
board will require 10000 tons of steel.
Railroads have put their energy into
purchasing motive power. Orders were
placed for $50 locomotives, including
fifty-five for export. Tho principal ex-
port contract was $4,000 tons of wire
for Italy, but export inquiries generally
are receiving scant attention.

Later, with the operation OF the

Railroad passengers will have at their
disposal the whole Of the c!ty's CON-
prehensive transit system for q hve-

"This will, within few years. make
the Woodside station a more important
transfer point than the Atlantic avenue
station in Brooklyn. where passengers
now transfer between the Long Island
Railroad and the subway system.
John Adikes, chairman OF the transit
committee Of the Queens Chamber Of
Commerce, says in reference TO the op-
Grafton of the Corona line: The time
has now come for the establishment Of
local service on the Long Island
Railroad between Jamaica and the
Woodside and Hunters Point sv. sta.
tions, where connections can be made
with the rapid transit system. The

Jamaica and the Flatbush sv. station
in Brooklyn
"a scent fare should be established
from Jamaica TO Woodslde, and . 10
cent fare from Jamaica TO Hunters
Point av. Passengers could then travel
directly from Jamaica to downtown
Manhattan at the same fare, but in less
time than is now required to travel
through Brooklyn to reach the subws,
system.
"The Importance Of the wcodside
station is measured entirely BY the
number of Long Island Railroad trains
which stop there. Many OF them 90

Der of Commerce now has proposal
before the officials to nave every train
