FREIGHT H0LD-UPS
HURT AUTO TRADE

In order to keep Willvs-Overland
dealers closely In touch with the rail-
road traffic situation. the following
statement has been issued by the
traffic department Of the company:
1T is at the present time. and has
been for some time. impossible to OBJ
tain sufficient automobile freight cars
10 currently move our production.
Every effort is being made by this de-
partment to get Just as large a supply
Of cars as possible, but, regardless Of
our efforts, shipments of passenger
cars are bound to be interfered with
and the advent Of severe weather and
heavy storms tightens up the situation
more than ever. SnOwstOrms and
freezing weather make It absolutely
necessary to reduce the size Of trains
hauled, slow up speed on the roads
and add further to severe delays at all
points.
Dealers and distributors should bear
this situation in mind so they will
know Just what difficulties a~e being
encountered, not only in moving the
production from the plant. but after 1t
gets under way, when il meets with
serious delays in transit. 1t is barely
possible that the freight car situation
will become so acute that any and
every method Of getting machines from
the factory TO cur dealers and dis
tributors will have to be used during
the next three or four months. Dealers
and distributors should be prepared

AUTOS AS HELP TO
NATIONS RAILROADS

Business was appalled, by the brief
suspension Of railroad activities during
the winter billiards, yet the total carry
ing capacity of the railroads IS only
one-sixth that Of the automobiles in
use in this country. One authority goes
so far as to declare that the carrying
capacity Of the automobile is greater
than that Of the railroad and street car
systems combined.
Deprived Of the more than 100000
automobiles in this country, the pas
senger and freight congestion would be
far greater than that occasioned by a
complete tie-up Of railroad traffic"
says A. G. Seiberlins. general manager
Of the Haynes Automobile Co., KokomO.
Ind.
Not only does the passenger and
freight MILEAGE OF the automobile ex-
ceed that OF the railroad, but the rail-
road depends almost exclusively upon
the automobile for the primary move
ment Of freight from farms and factor
les and the final distribution. In many
cases long hauls by motors even take
care Of shipments usually sent by rail.
The government has demonstrated con-
cluslvely the practicability Of such a
move"

replies to a general inquiry. These
read as follows:

people. And all the while food kept
getting scarcer and scarcer until finally
the wOrkmen couldn't stand the situa-
tion any longer and went on strike and
refused TO work. Most Of these work
men were engaged IN manufacturing
war supplies. So you can see why

Il don't see how II was that Germany
managed her food supplies as s-well as
she did during all the months before
the strikes said Helen.
"Nou must remember that the Ger
man Empire was managed very eff
ciently.' said Uncle Harry, "and that
the government officials had been pre-
pairing for a possible war for many
years, and making plans for meeting the
food shortage that they knew would
occur. But the war has lasted longer
than they figured on, and then too,
they have been shut or from all out

pect."
