Call to All to Act
With the Government
Individual Economy Plan
Must Be Followed,
Saws Gum
Says Gum

"Prcsident Wilson's message to Con-
gress setting forth his reasons for
mobilizing the railroads under govern
ment control inferentially imposes
upon automobile users and manufact-
urcrs the need to cooperate voluntarily
with the spirit of the message by
mobilizing the automobile through in
dividual initiative" says J. N. Gum,
president of the United States Tire
Company.
Several weeks ago Colonel Samuel
+. Colt, president of the United States
Rubber Company, in an interview urged
automobile owners of both passenger
and commercial cars to use their cars
more and moro to relieve the trans
port0tion pressure on the nations rail
roads and merchants delivery service.
Other leaders in the country's business.
not alone those i'll the automobile in
dustry. have since urged that this ad-
wee be followed. 1t has met with
unanimous approval.
"lndlvidual economy should be prac-
tlsed to the end that no wastage shall
result. 1T is not necessary to assume
that national economy means curtail-
ing the use Of automobiles.
"Ihe natural function of the auto
mobile, both passenger and comercial,
is the transportation of man and mer-
chardise for short hauls. If this is
realized, tremendous amount of rail
road mileage may be diverted from
short hauls to long hauls and just that
much pressure on the railroads trans
portation facilities relieved
National economy means readjust-
ments. but not necessarily curtailment
OF the markets for commercial and
passenger automobiles. Nor will it re-
duce the use of automobile tires or
other accessories necessary to the eff
cient operation Of motor csE.
"The national need calls for con-
structive economy in the operation of
automobiles, but not in unthinking cur
tailmcnt.
1T is my firm belief that, when we
have satisfactorily ended this war, the
automobile and kindred industries will
find a market for all the goods that
they can produce. Many concerns are
being called upon by the government
for war products. This will spur these
manufacturers on to q use Of their re-
naming facilities in even greater eff
cheney than has ever been known be-
fore, so that during and after the war
all Of their facilities Will be REQUIRED.

Rueschaw Tells How Auto
mobile Can Help the
Railroads, Too

"All of us know that our ultimate
victory in the war will, be fastened only
in so far as we improve our transpor-
tation facilities" R. c. Rueschaw, vice
president Of the Mitchell Motors Com
pany, Inc, said in an interview yes
terday.
"The railroads of the United States
are burdened now as they have never
been before. They arc appealing to
business men to assist them in every
possible way. Just the other day the
president Of one Of the railroads said,
Business men can do much to help
themselves as we'll as the government
in connection with the transportation
of their goods. They can order full
carloads-tilling the cars to their
capacity-and by holding cars during
loading and unloading for the shortest
possible time
"The only conclusion is that the
automobile will be used to take care
Of the local transportation of goods
within radius of twenty-five to fifty
miles. 1t can't be otherwise Using
his own road as an example, this rail
road president showed that 919 o: it's
employees had voluntarily joined the

$4,000 were subject 70 call in the Ma
tional Army.
Every man who leaves that rail
road VIII mean more work for the
automobile. The same railroad crew
that it takes to make short haul
can make long one. Long hauls will
eventually be left to the railroads and
short ones to automobiles, for only in
that way can we begin to approach
the perfection in transportation SC
necessary to successful prosecution
of the war.
"'lhe automobile is solving the
problem Of the short hauls and from
the looks of things it will creep in OF
the long hauls. The new truck lin,
Of 1900 miles, established between
Akron, Ohio, and Boston. is said t.
not only be less expensive, but t,
actually save time on the old route.
''Of course these are extreme case
just now, but eventually they nigh
not be. All automobile owners cal
help lot by taking ali Of their pur
chases home instead of asking the loca
merchant to deliver them. Time
money and energy can be saved in thi
way. Every time an automobile osvnc
offers to take his purchases home witt

Southworth, of Buick, Says

"Our business is booming" says A.
G. Southworth, manager New York
branch Of Buick Motor Company. The
demand has been so great we could
not book one-half the orders customers
and dealers wished to place with u.s.
The New York branch established new
sales records in October, November and
IN December up to the date of the big
snowstorm.
We have now, for the first time in
years, complete line Of cars on dis
play at our salesroom, Broadway and
Fifty-ffth Street. The Buick factory
is prosperous and as busy as can be
endcavoring to make somewhere near
enough cars to care for orders on hand

look for a generally safe, sane

There will be restrictions. Of course,

due to the action of motor car manu-

The automobile industry. third larg-

country, has tremendous potcn-

which are material through which
