REGULARITY OF FAULTY

AS You bring your automobile to a

That popularity. in the language OF
the automobile expert is the penalty OF
faulty brake adjustment. The locked
tire is called upon TO resist the pressure
OF automobile and pavement alone, the
consequence very often being a badly

Cleveland, Ohio.

The production OF motor cars in 1918
Will be 80 per cent less than the 1917
output. The American automobile In
dustry is now working on government
contracts. which aggregate over $780,
100000. This, however, does not mean
the suspension or the passenger car
production. AS n matter of fact, the
industry is increasing Its total produc-
ton over 90 per cent, but such q large
part of this is for trucks. shells. air
plane parts, motors, tanks. artillery
cars and nmbulances that necessarily
there is shortage of materials. The
government demand for raw materials
has diverted their use from ordinary
channels.
The stronger concerns. in their de-
sire to assist the government and aid
in winning the war, are assuming con-
tracts for manufacturing many sundry
necessities. thus reducing their capac-
ity for regular car production. And
tho passenger car output for tho dura-
ton Of the war will be subordinate to
the filing Of the needs OF the govern
