stupendous task of reconversion
will be realized.
Production of automobiles for
1918 is only about 100000 as COM
pared with l,7lS,000 in 1917. The
output of trucks for civilian use
shows a large increase, amounting
to $4,000 this year as against 1922
900 last year.
Restrictions Removed.
The War Industries board has
announced that all priority re-
strictions, with the exception of
continuing war orders, have been re-
moved, but the high prices at which
parts and materials have been and
will be purchased and the high
wages paid to labor will necessi-
tate the maintenance of present
prices of cars and trucks until the
manufacturers are able to get back
into large volume production and
prices of materials are lowered. 1t
is not expected that wages will be
decreased materially for long time
and the world shortage of foodstuffs
and clothing may continue to be
felt for several years and no large
influx of immigration is anticipated.
To Increase Expectation.
As rapidly as shipping is avail
able the expectation of automobiles
and trucks will be largely increased.
Although the War Industries
board announced removal of the
ban against holding of industrial
exhibits, the N. A. c. c. voted not
to hold the national exhibitions in
New York and Chicago this year.
as it would be impossible to prepare
by the usual dates such displays as
would do justice to the industry.
The time that ordinarily is spent
by the factories and their selling
organizations preparing for the
shows will this winter be employed
in completing the readjustment and
recognizing the dealer organiza-
tons.
Opinion of leaders of the indus
try is that the trucks shipped to
France for the army will all be
needed there and will never be
brought back: also that the Post

War Has Taught Many
Great Uses Of Auto in
All Lines Of Activity

"The adaptability and utility of
the automobile enabled US as a ma
ton to speed up the work that
helped win the war" says Case
Changstrom of the Standard Motor
Car company. This wartime per-
Torrance is bound to create a de-
sire to be owners among those
people who formerly failed to re-
alize how much dependence could
be placed on the automobile.
And in the same way, through
the operating economy which we
have had to practice, we have
learned that the automobile is far
from being expensive to run, but on
the contrary can be operated very
economically.
Now, that the days of recon-
struction lover there" have ar
rived, it will be necessary fol- us

and completely. The automobile

Saving Gear Changes.

If drivers would only learr it, the
easiest way to avoid many gear
changes is to make the necessary
ones quickly. By slowing down the
engine to about 500 revolutions at
the beginning of a hill it is so often
possible to save maxine an addition
al change later on, in addition to
which one also makes a quicker
climb anyway. Also the early
change saves strain on the engine
and transmitting parts.

T0HASTEN BACK
TO PEACE BASIS
Manufacturers to Get Back
into Passenger Car and
Truck Production as
Rapidly as Possible.

Washington, Nov. 30.-Cessation
OF -Aostilites came so suddenly that
neither the automobile industry nor
the government agencies controlling
all industries were prepared with a
definite plan for recovering the
automobile and truck factories from
war work to their regular work The
whole situation. was dicussed at
meetings of both branches of the in
dustry. held by the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce in
Washington.
The manufacturers are all anxious
to resume the production of passen-
ger cars and trucks for civilian use
as quickly as possible, but necessar-
lily it will take some time to accom-
plish this, especially for the larger
manufacturers whose facilities were
practically engaged wholly in war
work, much of it entirely foreign to
motor vehicle lines. such as Eagle
boats, tanks, mine anchors, gun re-
coils. etc.
i. All at War Work.
Work had been suspended on
much of the regular products of the
factories and materials for the reg
ular models of cars and trucks were
cleaned up. Under the instructions
of the War Industries board, the
passenger car manufacturers have
striven during the last four months
to liquidate their stocks of materials
on hand in order to get on a 100 per
cent war basis. The truck makers
have been working at high pressure
on certain sizes OF trucks for the
United States government and allied
governments.
Time to Get Material.
From three to four months will
be required to secure deliveries of
parts and materials for the construc-
ton of the regular models. and dur
ing this period there must be read
justment not only of materials but
of machinery. finance and l~bor.
This will necessarily restrict produc-
ton to approximately the present
lenty-five FER cent basis during
the coming winter. When it is real

Auto to Help Solve Peace
Problems Now War Is Over

"Just as the motor truck was first
called upon to meet the wartime"
transportation demands made upon
industrial America, so it will be first
to help solve the extraordinary
problems of peace times" says c.
J. Dutton, local Kissel distributor.
THE adaptability of the motor
truck during the work of destruc-
ton, will prove just as effective in
the work of reconstruction.

system of administering military jus

pecially with reference to the present
duplication of the work Of considering
routine ceurt-martial cases by the
judge advocate officials in France as
we'll as in Washington. The work has
grown to such proportions that the
War Department feels the necessity of
simplification of methods in the in
terests of time, labor and expense.
It is possible that a separate branch
of the judge advocate generals office
may be established in France, with au-
thority to pass finally on all questions
of legality and regularity involved in
court-martial trials for ordinary mill
tary offenses.
Gen. Ansell will devote several weeks
to the study of the questions involved,
and will consult personally with Gen.
