MOTOR CAR SHORTAGE
INEVITABLE THIS YEAR

A tremendous shortage of pleasure
automobiles this year is inevitable &C
cording to P. NJ. Lawrence of the p.
NJ. Lawrence Co.
War if it comes. will immeasurab-
ly reduce the already insufficient sup
ply" said Mr.. Lawrence. Many cars
would be withdrawn from the open
market for government use, undoubt-
eddy, and production would be cut
down to almost nothing by the COM
Wandering of plants for manufacture
Of munitions and war supplies.
NO one can foretell exactly the eff
feet Of our entry into the war upon
the motor market. 1t may result in
the instant cessation of car making
at many plants and the conversion Of
the machinery to production of war
materials.
1.-The car supply is already far short
Of the phenomenal demand. The mar
gin Of stock which manufacturers
have been able to produce is almost
negligible compared to the huge de-
mand already evidenced. Close stu
dents of the situation estimate that
even on a peace basis the demand will
exceed the supply by from 50 to 60
per cent.
Briefly, three conditions contribute
to this situation. First, no manufac-
turer was able to enlarge his facili-
ties to construct cars fast enough for
the phenomenal development of the
motor market. Second, even these in
adequate manufacturing schedules
have been ruthlessly sacrificed by our

MUNICIPAL COURT

At the Friday morning session Of the
municipal court the principal case
heard was one in which the parties
concerned were from Togus, and the
trouble from which the case grew oc-
Cured en- Togus car. The complain
ant was one Thomas E. Penney and in
the warrant which he swore out he
alleged that one Henry Marquis had,
on Wednesday, April IS. while on an
electric car running between Augusta
and Togus, threatened the complain
ant with bodily harm. When Marquis
was arraigned before the court he was
represented by Former Judge Benedict
F. Maher and pleaded not guilty, but
the case had not progressed very far
when 1t was brought to close by the
respondent promising not to modest the
complainant and to move to West Car
diner. which arrangement was salts
factory to the complainant, whereupon
sentence was suspended.
Other business Of the morning was
one case Of intcxication. in which the
respondent on teing found guilty was
visited with q sentence Of IS and costs,
which was paid.
In the Afternoon one Grover 3. Reed
Of the Riverside Hotel at the east end
Of the Kennebec bridge. was before the
court on complaint of Special Officer
r. ]. Upton for operating an automo-
bile without lights after sunset Monday
evening. April Is. The respondent was
represented by Former Judge Maher
and pleaded not guilty. and the officer
failed to identify the respondent as the
man who was running the car at the
time mentioned above. The case was
disposed Of by the court ordering Reed
to pay costs. which amounted to s4.2s.

OPERA HOUSE

Last Three Times Today, "Beware of
Strangers" Sensational Drama Of
the Underworld, Depicted in Seven
Reels
FRITZ Brunette in the role of 1.-THE
Lure" has one Of the most emotional
and eXactinS parts ever portrayed in
motion pictures. In Beware Of Stran-
gers" the Selg feature drama of the
underworld. Miss Brunette enacts the
character part of Bertha Gibson, secre-
tary to the president of small pri-
vate bank. Later the president squan-
ders the banks funds in a confidence
game and as a fugitive from justice
deserts his sweetheart, who swears to
be revenged. She goes to the city,
becomes a Lure for a band of clever
criminals and finally meets the man
who had deserted her. She also dis
covers that the wages of sin is death,
ellison Willets wrote the drama which
is based on newspaper exposes of
blackmail schemes. A strong lovc-story
is carried in the action of the play.
The three final showings Of this great
drama will take place at the Opera

inability to get materials in to the
great car making centers, or to get
a constantly moving outlet for the fin
ished product. Third, an unprecedent-
ed prosperity has greatly increased
the number of persons who will want
to buy cars this year.
Those who wish to buy cars Of
medium price range probably will
have to be cared for on tine first-come-
first-served basis. and others will have
to content themselves with an auto
mobile they had no intention of buy
ing.
War will not, on the other hand,
reduce demand for motor cars. Our
part in the war, as I comprehend 1t
from the present national policy, could
not De other than that Of a great scien-
tinc arsenal supplying the men already
on the firing line. 1t would be a wear
or more before We could send any con-
siderable body of men to Europe. In
the meantime the social life of the
United States would undergo no pro-
found change. People will motor, go
to the theatre, the beaches, the parks.
the summer resorts, as usual.
Actual engagement of the United
states in the war would mean that
even the limited number of persons
VINO now go abroad would be further
reouced' and automobile touring in the
oHited states would increase.
