Chelsa Auto Wrecking Co.
Increases Stock of Parts

During the past month or more,
A. Schiffman, proprietor of the
Chelsa Auto Wrecking Establish
ment at %, 81 and 26 North Cam
eron street, has increased his large
stock of used parts and used autos,
to nearly double it's former size. In
speaking of this increase in stock,
Mr.. Schfffman says THE large
demand | have had for used parts
mas made it necessary for me to
increase my stock. Everyone who
is acquainted with the line of bust
ness | conduct have been convinced
that they can get the part they want,
when they want it and that it will
give them the service they expect
from it. l have HAD people come
here from points fifty miles away
IN order to get the part they want
without having to wait a month or
SIX weeks for it if they would have
sent to the factory of some big
branch for it. Some of the auto
mobile dealers are taking advantage
OF my stock to get parts in order
to tun out their work without a
delay.
1T is becoming more evident
every day that the demand for used
parts will be increased to even
greater proportions than now exists.
The scarcity of steel, coupled to the
large demands of the military forces
nave made a scarcity of parts that
mas no precedent. And again it
seems to me that it is a duty we
all should consider, to use up these
parts. 1t not only is using up old
steel but is saving labor, inasmuch
as they parts have been made some
time ago, before the labor shortage
was sc serious"

REPUBLICANS ARE
HANDICAPPED IN
AFTER WAR PLAN
Minority in Congress See the
Need of Reconstruction,
but Cannot Act

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2. - While
it is generally accepted here that the
future of the nation after the war
has every possibility of unexampled
prosperity, Republican leaders in
both Houses of Congress think the
time has come to spread out legis-
lative safeguards that will insure it.
They realize that it is not enough
merely to win a military victory over
the enemy in Europe, but that it will
be equally necessary now to under
write, as it were, the fruits of that
victory.
For instance. it is accepted as in
evitable hat following the war the
United States will have in commits
sion. under lease and building, a
large share of the ship tonnage of
the world. The United States will
have been less harmed by the war
than any of the European nations,
and will enter the era of peace with
great commercial advantages over
those nations. Moreover, many of
the nations of Europe will be in debt
to this nation and this credit bal
ance will give us a commercial edge
unless we llllOM 1t away hhtCu5h
some i~neXcusable folly.
Republican Senator'S fear If i'm
mediate steps are not taken to meet
the Reconstruction problem that
peace may find the nation unable to
readjust itself quickly enough to Sc
cure all the advantage h a should
accrue from it.
Peace should find, for instance, an
unexampled boom in the building
trades, which have necessarily Ian
guished during the var but some
of the leading economists in the
country are not optimistic concern
ing the revival of the building trades
Immediately unless legislative steps
are taken to protect their activity.
The economists point out that
building is done very largely on
credit and that there may be a
shrinkage in credit following the
war. The cancelling of munition
contracts would instantly affect
many of the largest industries, and
banks are certain to find at least a
momentary indecision on the part of
course. In time they will doubtless
get back to a peace basis, but unless
care is taken now to provide against
the status from a var to a peace
basis, there may be a period of slacl;
in which there will be shortened
credit, suspended operations and
consequent unemployment.
Republicans Are Handicapped

Senate and of the House are framing

ARCTIC FOOD RICH,

loss of pemmican, scientific equip
ment and supplies of various kinds

Many times the rumor came that
the Stefansson party had persisted.
Instead Stefansson has returned to
tell Americans that the Arctic is an
easy place to make a living in, and
the high cost of living is a FACTOR
that the Arctic explorer does not
have to deal with.
At the Harvard Club, where he
met many visitors incidentally he

do not think that there is any easier
place to make a living than in the
polar area if one knows how. The
food problem is very simple. You
go out and kill animals and eat them.
on the floating ices in the lanes of
open water there are seals and poplar
bears. On the land are the musk OK
and the reindeer. Every polar island
that have ever seen is free from
ice in summer and carpeted with
grass and vegetation.
At do not know where the COM
monty accepted idea comes from that
every polar island is covered~with
ice. We never kill an animal and
then waste it, although we might
kill a polar bear when we are on the
pressure ranges (moving snow and
ice carried to and fro by winds) and
carry away on the sledge only 200
pounds of meat. There is always
plenty of food.
Party Had Plenty to Eat
with other Arctic explorers it
was always a question of food. Food
was dealt out in rations. Everybody
had his eye on the grub pile wonder
ing If they would have any food to
get back on. We travelled 1000
