I shall make no objection to any course the government sees fit to take in the premises, but I do want the public to understand. and my friends particularly, that neither now nor at any time have violated my permit or my pledge; that no charge mas been lodged against me ac- cording to law. and that I am accused only upon suspicion. and not upon any evidence whatsoever My mothers rela- tiyes are in the British army: my fathers Tn the German.

astically OF course by Automobile Row,
To the credit OF the Row II must be
said always that 1t kept a sim upper

for the manufacture OF cars after jan
uary looked very dark. The answer was
that the automobile dealers were de-
termined to keep going for the sake OF

ready operating or would need new
cars sooner or later.
Commenting on the situation, J. B

Corporation, the Chandler distributors
said:
I'VE have impressed Chandler owners
and prospects from the first with the
permanency Of our organization. We
have had cars to sell right along and
we have sold them. Our business dur
ing the summer months was better than
II was for the corresponding months a
and are selling them. We will haze
cars to sell right along and expect to sci
them We will have more cars to sci
before very long when production is IN
creased. How many more we dom
know. but we are going to sell them.
THE public Is going to need more
cars than ever before as the readjustmen
of affairs proceeds, and we expect to fur

We are mighty we'll pleased with th'
way things have gone. with the way

ton and maintenance OF supply roads to
the feeder roads that finally connect
with the national trunk line roads.
THE benefits OF the adoption OF such
n system OF highway construction can
be extended to include tho cost OF living,
for, through the complete organization
OF a system Of transportation facilities
covering improved roads, commodity
prices that have to-day reached exorbi-
tant figures can be influenced to a con-
siderable extent. We found that on
October 20. 1918. fresh eggs were SELL
ing In tho city of Newark, N. j., at 81
per dozen, when a tremendous supply
was available at New Holland, Pa, a
distance OF 100 miles from Newark. at
so cents per dozen. With a postal rate
of about cents per dozen. we could
have possibly delivered this prime food
product in that city at from rs TO 80
cents per dozen less than the price the

Following the announcement earlier in
the week OF the plan and scope of the
Motor Transportation Conference. which
opened last evening and will continue
each evening this week, hundreds OF in
oulries have been received from people
DESTROYS OF attending. This shows the
widespread interest now prevailing in
highway transportation. which Is synony-
nous with motor transportation. These
inquiries are mostly from business inter-
ests with transportation or delivery
problems. and coupled with the indorse-
ments previously received from various
Government officials, some of whom are
on the list of conference speakers, serve
10 indicate tho growing appreciation OF
the Importance and opportunities OF
highway transportation.
The Motor Transportation Conference
will serve to introduce two new develop
ments in this field which promise to play
IN important role in the postwar recon-
s;ruction period. One is the plan OF the
United States Post Office Department to
employ over 5000 army trucks and
drivers in q nationwide extension OF the
farm to table" parcels post service.
The other provides for a big Federal
Government highway improvement I'M
dertaking which will give employment to
tens OF thousands OF soldiers and labor
ers released by war industries.
The opening session of the confer
ence last night was devoted to the work
Of motor vehicles in the war and their
great contribution to victory. Major
George A.. Green, chief engineer of the
Fifth Avenue Coach Company. and dur
ing the past two years first assistant

Tank Corps, British army, spoke on
the lessons commercial users may learn
from the military employment OF motor

HIGH GRADE CARS SCARCE.
II Behooves the Prospect to hui
Early.

Well the end OF tho war came even
quicker than most Of US supposed It
possibly could" says Harry s. Houpt,
president of the Hudson Motor Car Com
ptny, but as / have repeatedly pointed
out to my customers 1t will be long
time before the automobile trade Is on
q peace time basis again,
There is and has been q shortage OF
high grade cars for some months past.
and It will probably be q year at least
before the factories will resume or be
on their pre-war normal production
basis again
This means that there will be an
actual shortage OF high grade cars for
the next twelve months at least, and
those that can should make their old
cars DO until more normal conditions
prevail.
For those who actually require new
ears I can only say they had better
buy them now. as they will not only be
harder TO get later on but probably will
Be considerably higher in price"
