AUTO SHORTAGE
 IS 4 POSSIBLE
 REESULT I OF WAR

4 shortage of high class motor cars may be a real condition before the spring touring season gets fairly un- der way, according to McArthur Bro thers, local Packard agents. Owing to the diversion of manufacturing fla cilitieS to the governments uses, pro- duction of motor carriages of the higher grades may fall considerably below normal and leave an already brisk market decidedly short of supply.
 This possibility was discussed at the April meeting of the Packard car riage sales board at the factory last Monday md Tuesday. The board. which is made up of the sales man asers of the principal points in the Packard organization. reported that the stock of cars which the factory will be able to furnish this spring is more than half sold out in advance.
 The highest sales record made in a single day in the Packard's history was registered on April II. five days after the declaration of war. Sales have been steady and strong ever since. and every indication reported by the sales managers is that the demand soon will outrun supply.
 Additional impetus to selling has re- suited from the Packard's organiza- ticn- building contest known as the Lincoln highway sweepstakes. On AuIIl 19. tne sa esmen entered in the race began competition for tickets on the Packard business congress cruise. to be held on the Great Lakes June IS to 21. The twenty-five lead ing salesmen of the 600 motor carriage statesmen in the Packard organization will be the company's guests on the cruise. This combined outing and convention is just one feature of one of the most striking contests ever staged in the automobile industry.

The great responsiveness Of the lightweight Marmon 34 to all controls has made it a favorite among motorists who enjoy long tours, according to Maurice ONeill, local dealer Lightness, the powerful engine, balance that to all practical purposes is perfect. and many mechanical refinements in construction give the MarmOn ease in handling that makes the most difficult situations en- countered on long drives easy for driver and passengers alike.
 Lishtness makes the Marmon eco nomical both in fuel consumption and wear on tires. Balance makes it ride easily under all conditions confronted in any kind of driting where an auto mobile can go. The powerful motor drives it at high speed where high speed is desired, and pulls the car up hills with the most pleasing ease. The Marmon combines all the serViceab ble- ness of the utility car with the refine ment of design and the passenger comfort of a high grade luxury car, an ideal combination for touring.

 An operation which is simplicity it. self, yet which is very important in the building of an automobile motor, is the balancing of flywheels. clutch cones and other parts of motor car requiring an even distribution of weight
 One of the very interesting features of automobile construction at the Willys- Overland factories is that operation of balancing flywheels and clutch cones. Peculiarly, the trueing of the weight in these parts is done in diametrically opposite manner.
 The flyWheel is mounted on shaft and is suspended on a pair of rollers. Naturally the heavier portion of it swings immediately to the bottom This point is accurately noted by the workmen.
 Weights are then mounted on the gears to determine how much over. weight is the marked point After suf- ficient weight has been added to the lighter side to properly balance the wheel drill exactly the size of the weights, takes out the required amount to properly balance the flywheel. Thus. if two weights have been used to equaliZe the weight of the wheel. two holes are drilled on the heavier side: if three weights, three holes, and SD on
 Clutch cones, however. arc balanced by plugging the lighter side with lead, in 9 manner similar to the balancing of flywheels.
