HAMsTRINarNa THE RED CROSS.

HAMSTRINGING THE RED CROSS.
The rule making the Red Cross mere
~ an auxiliary 10 the War Department
and restricting its news output to in
formation supplementary to the official
reports appeared reasonable at first; as
a matter of fact. it has destroyed the
value of the Red Cross work 10 large
extent. From the beginning, it has been
learned at the War Department and at
the capitol. Red Cross workers in
France were informed that they need
not send emergency addresses because
they would be published by the War
Department. In any event the Red
Cross was forbidden to use the adj
dresses in advance Of the official re-
ports. Almost from the start the situ-
alton was bad because the official re-
ports were so late. BY last spring the
Red Cross had a distressingly large
number Of reports on wounded. sick
and dead men with which il could do
nothing Even If a father wrote to the
organization about his son and the or
ganization had the information It could
not give the facts TO the distressed
father because the War Department did
not have them.

HAYNES EMPLOYES
 GET FREE INSURANCE

Life insurance in varying amounts, based upon length of service, has been awarded to all employees of the Haynes Automobile company. Kokomo, Int More than 10o0 employees will hold poli- cies at the company's expense, says the announcement.
 The amount of each policy increases as the period of service with the com pany lengthens. Beginning, with a fair minimum amount at the end of the first six months employment, the value O.. the policy increases until it reaches t1-s maximum at the conclusion of 10 years continuous employment
 The complete transaction is carried or by the company wholly in behalf of it's employees beneficiaries. The company contracted for the insurance, paid the premiums, had the policies delivered and regularly attends to having the amounts of the policies increased as the periods of service lenghten.

 : REIMBURSEMENT AFTER WAR
 At the best there is certain to be period of sharp industrial and com mercial readjustment as soon as hos tilities shall cease, and it is equally certain that the necessity for liquidat- ing the enormous war debts that are now being piled up will result in an international race for commercial su- premacy which will completely eclipse Germany's former efforts to secure a
 place in the sum Consequently it be- hooves those of us who are unwill- ing to see America left at the bar rier in this great race to see to it that as nearly as possible her com- mercial and industrial equilibrium De maintained even at this time
 eff we may judge the future by the past and the present, the automobile business still is in a period of com parative infancy. If figures mean any thing at all, they indicate unmistaky ably that the point of saturation'- whatever that may mean-has not been reached. The curve of production to the end of 1917 is still upward, and while there is certain to be a marked

''This conversion of energy has taken many divergent forms. Not all of the automobile factories are actually pro- ducing munitions of war, although the production of trucks for military serv- ice, of airplane engines, of anti-sub- marine craft, of artillery tractors and a thousand and one other things which the United States and her allies need most urgently for direct use in win ming the war is engaging surpris- ingly large part of the productive ca pacity of many of the biggest auto mobile factories in the country.
 s1n view of the assistance. which the automobile industry already has rendered the government in preparing to prosecute the war most effectively particularly since this activity is be- ing constantly increased-we shall not be accused of sordid commercialism or of a lack of patriotism if. even at this time, we digress for the purpose of attempting to diagnose the future of this mammoth industry itself.

recession in 1918 it will be due not to falling off of demand-which of course, would be the case if the max mum absorptive power of the country had been reached-but to the neces- sity of releasing for government uses part of the materials, men and plant capacity which normally would have been utilized for the manufacture of automobiles.
 ADVANCE OF USED CARS
 Tt is significant that even in 1917 production exceeded that of 1916 by approximately 20 per cent; and it Is still more significant that right now used cars of all makes and classes are selling briskly at prices repre- senting an advance of from 40 per cent to 60 per cent over what tho same cars were selling for a year ago It is doubtful if there ever was a time in the history of the automobile busi- ness when there was as lively a mar ket for used cars as at the present time; an when we consider this state ment in the light of the admitted fact that the supply of automobiles has never equaled the demand it is aj,- parent not only that neither the buy

BASEBALL AND THE LAWN MOWER BRING
 DESIRE FOR AUTO

The most interesting thing about the retail automobile situation is not the exceptional demand for cars, but the reasons given for that demand" says R. c. Pierce, Dort distributor.
 Nearly every customer mentions some highly useful purpose for his anxiety to obtain early delivery. In many cases 1t is direct activities in connection with the war. In others the desire to immedi- ately increase facilities to carry on his regular business.
 Then, too, the opening of the base ball season, following closely the renewed activity of the sprinkling cart and lawn mower, focuses mans thought upon the necessity of action in the matter of that new car. This is a psychological certain ty every year,
