PRICES Of AUTOS
ARE ADVANCING
Heretofore the Prices Of Cars Have
Been on the Decline
T s5l Ds, Et
.s Each Season.

1t is going to cost something to
own and operate an automobile this
year and those who already own them
are signing over the prospects o.
running "tin Lizzies'' or any other
make of car. Gasoline is now 23
cents a gallon at garages and there
is every indication that the fluid will
go still higher. The price of gaso-
line soafed last spring but came
down later in the season.
All machines have also advanced
in price owing to the increase in ma
terials. The Buick and several others
have advanced 5 per cent; the Hud-
son, Kissel and Chandler cars have
advanced 10 per cent: the Chalmers
car has advanced 10 per cent and so
on. The advance upon the price OF
materials and labor is responsible
for the increase in price of mach
ines. Steel has arisen 10 per cent;
rubber from 10 to Is per cent; al
uminum is 40 per cent higher and
several factories are now using cast
iron in place of aluminium, formerly
used in making cars. Copper and
brass have doubled in price in the
last year and almost every material
used in the manufacture of automo-
biles has advanced perceptibly.
However automobiles have not ad-
vanced as much as other things such
as groceries, woolens, etc. The ad-
vance in leather is perhaps the heav-
lest and more greatly affects the AM
erican public. The materials now
used in the making of auto seats.
ETC., will eventually be supplanted
by a substitute for leather which is
now being used extensively in the
manufacture of upholstered furni-
ture, book bindings, etc. There is
no advance upon storage batteries
for the machines, although repairs
upon the car are going to cost more
than formerly. Wages have been
raised in nearly every garage in the
country and the owner of the auto
mobile who comes to the garage for
repairs upon his machine is going
to have to help pay this increase.

WILL NOT Be HOME
BEFORE nineteenth
Company G and Second Regiment
Will Remain in Des Moines
a Number of Days.

Des Moines, March 10.-None Of
the Second regiment troops will be
mustered out OF the federal service
until March 19 or later. Major
|Sturevant, Chief mastering Officer
announced at a conference of officers
at Fort Des Moines yesterday after
noon.
This will make the stay of the in.
fantrymen four days longer than
that OF the recently discharged cav
airy. men. The delay will be occa.
|sioned by the paper work, which is
not quite as complete as that Of the
other organizations.
At yesterdays conference the
mastering out was discussed gener-
ally, and Major Sturevant announc-
ed to the officers the manner in
which the surveys and checking OF
property would be carried out.
Because of the fact that the major
part of the regiment loaded and
struck tent in the rain at Browns
Vile, some of the equipment must be
dried and aired before the work can
proceed. In many of the barracks
yesterday tentage was spread over
all the floors, with other equipment
which had been wet when loaded.
Although large part of the day
is given over to preparation for
muster at the fort, the drill sched-
ule of the regiment has not been en-
tirely abandoned. The men were
given an hour of closed and extend
ed order drill on the parade ground
yesterday, and this program will be
carried out every day, so far as the
weather permits.
