AUTO BUSINESS
NoNESSENTIAL
REPORT DENIED
Leonard Kohn Investigates
and States Only Change is
the Banning of Certain
Accessories.

Contrary to reports circulated In
Omaha, the automobile and truck
business is not on . nonessential
basis, according to Leonard c.
Kohn, president of the United States
Automobile Supply company. In
an interview on the matter Mr..
Kohn said:
"On September II on information
which we had l wrote to the priori-
ties division of the War Industries
board and to the director Of steel
supply, as to whether or not the
automobile supply business was or
was not essential, in reply to which
they sent me their circulars, Nos.
and S, and supplement No. l of
circular No. T. After reading same I
found that should the automobile
jobbers sign a pledge with the
priorities division of the War In
dustries board, and the director of
steel supply, that we were entitled
to secure what merchandise we
needed to supply our trade. provided
our trade would sign a pledge with
US to conserve their stocks and COM
ply with the requirements OF the
priorities division of the War In
dustries board and the director of
steel supply. This we did, and on
October IS we received acksowl-
edgement OF the pledge which we
had filed.
AFTER reading the notices on Sat-
urday and Sunday under the title
Work or Fight I wired the COM
missioner of the National Associa-
ton of Automobile Accessory Job
bers, and I am just in receipt of an
answer from him, which reads as
follows:

the local board so rule, nor do I be-
lieve they WILL understanding this
ruling has been made by the War In

an making this ruling the War
Industries board has probably taken
into consideration the fact that
fully IS per cent of the automobiles,
trucks, tractors and gasoline engines
used today are in theihands of farm
ers. who use them in the production
and the marketing of their produce;
that the farmer today is short of
horses. and that should they cripple
the farmer so that he could not get

"The War Industries board has
declared great many accessories
nonessential, such as bumpers, spot
lights and fancy equipment, but
they realize the fact that it is neces-
sary to keep the trucks, tractors,
gasoline engines and automobiles in
condition so that they can be used,
and will, therefore. not hinder the
production of parts, repairs, material
or necessary equipment"

manager, Nathan Rosenblatt, of Bak-

reached up to fasten the string to the

MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOATS,
HELP WIN THE WAR

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 13.-Steam-
boats that during the days of Mark
Twain and since have piled the Mis-.
sissippi, performing perfunctory du.
ties not at all commensurate with the
rivers possibilities, are to be nut to
work to help win the war and will be
augmented by boats of modern type;
by barges and towboats powerfully
propelled and modernly equipped
capable of greatly relieving the heavy
transportation burdens of the rail
roads.
A fleet of freight-carrying boats
running between New Orleans and
and st. Louis and on up the river AS
necessity demands, has been designed
and the federal government has
backed the project with millions of
dollars. The Mississippi Valley Wa.
terways Association, representing va
ried interests throughout the valley,
is exercising general supervision of
the project.
Revival of river traffic on large
scale was suggested months ago when
freight congestion on the railroads
became acute. Business men began
to wonder why the broad expanse of
the Mississippi could not be used to
transport their freight expeditiously
and the idea took form in an applica.
ton to the government for finacial
assistance to build and maintain a
river fleet. The government appro.

tween st. Louis and New Orleans and

After the general scheme had been
worked out by the business interests
IN various river cities, cooperating
with government officials, M. j. San.
ders Of New Orleans, was appointed
federal manager. For years he has
been identified with gulf shipping.
Working with him are A. w. Mackie,
regional manager, and Theodore
Brent, who will supervise traffic de.
tails.
Mr.. Sanders assumed his duties
early in July and Immediately insti.
tuted a search for available craft
with which to begin operation. He
declared needs were too pressing to
await construction of steel barges.
After a survey of the district he an.
nounced that forty barges and seven
tow boats had been found and that
by September the barge line between
st. Louis and New Orleans would be
in operation on weely schedu'
Meanwhile orders for additional
barges and towboats were placed and
construction of docks begun. The
latter, like the barges, are for the
most part temporary makeshifts. In
st. Louis, for instance, it was decided
that he proposed municipally-owned
dock costing 100000 would require
too long to build. Accordinly, a
small landing was erected at a cost

dicate similar activity. New Orleans
is making tremendous preparations for
increased business and according to
ngures presented by its chamber of
commerce, will probably expend $685..
100000 within the next year for docks
and other terminal facilities. Mem
phis has announced that $500, 900 will
be expended on docks and equipment
for handling freight. Cairo, ILL.,, will
spend 100000; Greenvile, Miss,
100000 and small towns in Arkansas
will expend at least $4,000 in docks.
There are merely first figures based
on conservative estimates of in.
creased bushes that will come to

for more money as necessity de.
mands.
The Mississippi Valley Waterways
Association, which is an outgrowth of
the traffic revival movement. has
compiled a formidable array of evil
dence
One l,OOO-ton barge, association Of
ficers say, can carry as much freight
as fifty cars and if each tow boat con-
voys three barges, the fleet as it en-.
tiers New Orleans is equivalent to
100 cars, which are thereby released
for other service. If seven towboats,
each escorting three barges, are
placed in operation on September l.,
as has been planned, it will be seen
that the transportation by water will
have released 1850 cars for other
duties.
Shippers have shown willingness
to cooperate. Director Sanders esti.
mates that 100000 tons year will
be sufficient to make the line a finan.
cial success.
1t is hoped further that joint rail
and water rate may be obtained I'm.
der which shipments may be over

would increase greatly the territory
tributary to the line.

rector Sanders, lis that this is not

Of the chaos and the lack of respect
for government which recently have

The Kerensky government, 1t seems,

Narration Of Mosquitoes.

Some surprising facts regarding the
migration Of mosquitoes and other in
sects have been discovered by Prof.
s. c, Ball, who spent month at Re-
becca Shoal lighthouse last summer.
This lighthouse stands out In the ocean
u nautical miles from the nearest
land, which Is Key West, Tortugas,
while the nearest region on which
any considerable number of mos
qultoes can breed is Marquesas Atoll,
"a miles distant to the eastward.
Breezes from the north and east
brought mosquitoes to the lighthouse
and in one case strong southern wind
brought them from Cuba, 95 miles
away, Indeed, in some instances
there was evidence that they were
brought by favorable winds from even
more distant points; perhaps from
Tampa bay, $50 miles distant House
flies and various other insects were
also captured at the lighthouse.-Scl-
