shortage or curtailment of it's sale
 We have in this country today, ap- proximately 4,300,000 automobiles There is no reason to assume that these cars will stop running. The average motorist will acknowledge that no matter how great his expense the dis posal of his machine is unthinkable and that other economies will be prac- tlced before the laying up of his car.
 Aside from the pleasure and con- venience his automobile affords it be- comes his public duty to keep it in operation in order that he may relieve railroad congestion. This he can do by hauling many necessities himself Con- seqnently the ton miles of tire travel will greatly increase and ton miles represents the basis of tire wear.
 The government has virtually given assurance there will be no curtailment of automobile manufacture and steel manufacturers say they can supply car makers with all steel necessary and still meet the demands of the goyern- me2t There is every indication that many thousands ef automobiles will be made this year for the riding pub lie; and furthermore. that there will be greater riding public because of the unprecedented prosperity of the farm- CT and the birth of a new class of pur- chasers through the payment of big wages.
