INDUSTRY NOW
WELL STABILIZED
Rapid Progress of WHY'S
Overland Revealed in Re-
port for Last Ten Years.

The statement that a manufac-
turer or motor cars has attained a
production OF certain number Of
thousand OF cars Is so frequently
made and commonly heard. in this
day OF astonishing motor car de-
mand. that II excites little il any
comment. Nevertheless. actual fig
ures showing the annual growth i'm
production. for some of the larger
companies, during the last eight or
nine years. are most impressive and
they demonstrate emphatically the
stability Of some Of the leading or
CARNATIONS in the industry.
In 1911. the WHY'S overland Co.
of Toledo. was producing 1910
more cars than il built i'm 1908 The
gain of 1912 over 1911 was 1855.
IN 1913, the additional growth in
production amounted TO 7.715. Nine
teen fourteen saw big strides for
ward with a gain OF Is. 976 and the
1915 gain exceeded this by 45g51
Close to 100000 cars were pro-
duced by the company that year. A
still greater growth was recorded in
1916 when the production figures
reached Ia. SO7. or gain of 49,0S$
over the previous year. With a
production contracted for for 1917
Of 100000 cars, gain of more than
81. 900 cars is apparent
The stability of the industry as "A
whole is TO no small degree due TO
the progress made by The WHY'S
overland company" said +. A. Ben
nett. local WHY'S Overland dealer
the other day The progress which
the company has made i'm its manu-
featuring methods leading 10 a
greater production, is factor which
plays a prominent part i'm determin-
ing automobile values in America"

Motoring Department. The News
Times.-My tires are beginning to
wear through on the tread, but have
not worn through the fabric yet. AS
1 do not care to purchase a new set
of tires just yet, 1 have thought of
using interliners. Do they really
prevent punctures? Is there any
thing else you can advise? Would
they be an advantage in a new tire
An answer to these questions would
be much appreciated. SI. NJ. c.
Interliners are not advisable in
new tires. as they heat up tube and
shoe In your case they will be of
service. They undoubtedly reduce
the danger of puncture. You might
have the old ones retreaded, but
this would not be advisable if the
plies of fabric have begun TO sepa-
rate.

Moth balls are only slightly So

A commission has been establish ed which buys estates from Poles and sells them to Germans This commits sion has the power of condemning the land of Poles, taking these lands from them by force, compensating them at a rate determined by the commission and settling Germans on the lands so seized. This commission has its head quarters in Posen. The result has not been successful All the countryside

 mixed marriages is that the children are Catholics and Poles.
