1918 output of automobiles" is an easy one for Mir. Reuben. In this connection he says:
 'The same people who have all ways bought them and always will buy them are those who need them. And this year there are more peo- pie than ever before, because it is necessary to get about more. In addition to their usual duties which are more strenuous and exacting than ever, men find themselves con- fronted with patriotic obligations that take large part of their time.
 Thousand of KisselKar owners have volunteered for Liberty bond, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and other work incidental to the successful conduct of the war They are the best in the agricultural and indus trial sections in which they live. They freely and gladly give the time necessary for these added ac- tivities, but to do it and still keep pace with private demands, they must move quickly and promptly
 The war and the part the auto mobile has played in it has forever eliminated the term pleasure car' It always was inappropriate, and now that passenger cars, as well as motor trucks, are performing so potent a part of the worlds necessary work, the term is permanently taboo
 Who will buy cars this year? The farmer, the manufacturer the mer- chant the salesman, the professional man and all those who value time They will also be bought for the recreation they afford in these troublous days when fresh air and change of scene are more than ever necessary to the health, vitality and efficiency of the nations man power.'

OWNERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT

The radiator of my 1916 Ford car has sprung a leak. Is it advisable to put in some radiator compound to stop the leak? Some of my friends tell me that it ruins the machine. l would also like to know which kind of oil is best for my car.-F. $. Bosch.
 Radiator compound should be used only in an emergency. When you use it. follow the directions closely and do not use too much of the preparation. At the first opportunity have the radiator repaired by some one who knows hoy, preferably the service station or a radiator repair shop. Use a good brand of medium oil in your car. Cheap oils are the most expensive in the long run.
 The rear axle of my car has suf- fered some sort of damage. I have been told that the bevel gear has been broken through travel over rough roads. Could this be possible. -Vandyne.
 Quite. By applying the brakes while the rear wheels are in the air, as they would be a lot of the time on rough road, it is entirely pos sible to break a tooth. In this case the brakes are applied while the

MOTOR INDUSTRY.
 ID SPEED AMERICA
 ID FINAL VICTORY
By Walter E. Flanders

battle-g girded nation, like a human body, has heart and a soul. They live or die together. When one fails the other, the structure, whether hu- man or political, must crumble.
 Our boys in Lorraine are the soul of America. We behind the Atlantic are the heart. Both need nourishment, clothing and encouragement. These are the ingredients of morale, and morale is the price of victory.
 The American automobile industry, hiring and purchasing from very state in the union, makes up five per cent of this so-called heart. Any medical au- thority will testify that paralysis to- five per cent of the human heart would be beyond the aid of science. Thus wise men caution: let the motor indus try go on paying it's annual wages amounting to SPAS, 900; let these same wages again subscribe approxi- | mately $7,500,000, as they did to the first two Liberty loans; and let the entire industry, if needs be, buckle up its belt for longer hours and harder workout in the name of common sense and five million dependent mouths, let us avoid paralysis.
 OrganizatioU Saved Belgium | Take France and Belgium, suffering | from direct contact with the war lord scourge. Northern France is today writhing under the very heel of the in- | vader and yet recent statistics show 1 an expansion of trade and industry in central and southern France that is astounding. Dye stuffs and other man. | ufactured materials, practically unat- | tempted before the war, have in each
 succeeding year since 1914, grow to figure in the billions.
 Today in Belgium we find an army | of the highest morale larger than in peace time, and equipped with ambu-
 lances, big guns and implements of
 war; exceeding by fifty per cent the | equipment on hand the day that Leige
 was razed. And in both countries every item produced has come from the skill of the native worker.
 It is a clear and obvious that only | the training and organization of in- dustry has made this possible in | stricken France and Belgium; and it 1 is just as true that the workshop of the motor industry has contributed
 volumes to the speeding war program | of America.
 A famous writer. who has six times
 visited the shell-ripped fields of | Europe, has said that of all the sup | plies, commodities and manufactured
 articles shiped to the allies, the auto 1 mobile is the one and only American
 product that has proven 100 per cent
 equal to the gruelling usage of war.
 And so I say, the man that would
 now throw the motor industry over
 board, is the same fanatic that would
 dump life-preservers into the sea tc
 tighten the load of a ship in a storm.
Arizona republican., 1918-03-03

And there is no difference between throwing the industry overheard or puncturing it with the knife of ill ad- vised legislation.
 Such a man if in charge of a big liner would perhaps next order all food and provisions over the railing to further lessen the burden of the toss- | ing ship.
 | The great automobile business is the I life -preserver of five million American stomachs. It is the thing that must keep five million heads above water
 while the war-storm continues in its fury. | One-fifth of the population of the | United States have their very exist
 ence pinned to this vast business o1
 motor. cars. And five million people i:
 nearly twice as man yas. live in the state of California.
 Let the motor industry, in might ant main, continue it's patriotic efforts to-
 ward a speedy victorious peace; bu
 none, save the irresponsible alarmist
 would see this ife-giving artery sev,
 cred and crippled to the irreparabl
 loss of the very cause we hav'
 espoused.

Win you kindly tell me how many motor trucks are in use in the United states at the present time? How many of these are heavy trucks?- G. Ballentyne
 The figures of the National Auto mobile Chamber of Commerce show that there are 425,000 motor trucks in use in this country today. Your second question is very ambiguous. What would you call a heavy truck? Anything above one ton or above three or above what? I have no figures on this, but more than 50 per cent of the trucks are of one ton or less capacity, unofficial esti- mates indicate.

LooSENING HUB CAP

In case the ordinary method or placing a wrench on a sticking hub cap and then tapping the wrench with a hammer fails, try this: Place small box or horse of very nearly the height of the hub from the floor alongside the wheel so that when the latter is turned the end of the wrench will strike the box, the force of the blow loosening the cap.

 be used in place of emery paper. The substitute is not equal to the orig inal, but in a pinch it will clean the ends of set of plugs fairly acceptablY.

ANTI-BLACk-HAND

For the car owner who does his own work, the question of keeping his hands fit for polite society is a real problem. Here is a solution of the problem: After working about the car or garage, apply fresh cyl inder or any light oil to the hands, using just as soap and water is used. When all the grease has been cut loose, wipe the hands on clean waste or rags. This treatment will leave the hands in good shape for soapNand water and tar soap will be found admirable in this connection.

Will you please tell me what is the voltage of the ordinary storage battery as used on the automobile? :? Is it possible to utilize just a part of the battery's voltage or must it all be used all the time?-Al Grainer.
 The commonly used battery is the six-volt size, in which the cells usu- ally show two and a half volts, or seven and a half volts for the whole battery. Certainly you can use one or two cells, instead of the whole battery, if you want to do so.

THE BRITISH TAR
 AND HIS GROG

The first to establish the institution of grog in the English navy was Ad- miral Edward Vernon, who died 161 years ago today, Oct. 30, 1757. The admiral wore grogham brooches, and was hence called "OId Grog." In 1745 he ordered his sailors to dilute their rum with water, and the name of grog was immediately applied to the mix ture by the tars. The practice of serving out grog to the men before the mast was adopted by the United States navy, but has long since been abolished. "Old Grogham,' the or iginator of grog, performed gallant service in the West Indies, but he was continually in hc: water, and his irascible disposition eventually re- suited in his dismissal from the ser vice, because of two pamphlets he wrote and in which he bitterly attack. ed the admiralty.

NUT AND STOVE
 COAL IS SCARCE

While no alarm should be felt by householders. owing to the demand for nut and stove sized coal by the government for camps and canton ments and the warming of over million men, these two domestic sizes will not be as plentifully supplied to local dealers as anticipated. The anthracite industry suggests to con- sumers that a greater use of pea and egg sizes be adopted, as a conser- vation plan, to meet current war de- mands. The cellar supplies of nut and stove now on hand should be husbanded as much as possible and mixed with pea and egg, both in range and stoves, fires in kitchens and in furnaces and boilers in cellars.
 The industry finds it will be prac- tically impossible, owing to shortage | of mine workers and the demoralizeG condition of labor at the mines due to influenza to ship as large tonnage of nut and stove sizes to the genera
 market as it now calls for. The Ma
 tion's needs must be met and while 1 there is no scarcity of coal, as tC l current needs, husbanding of these
