AUTO PLANTS WILL
CURTAIL OUTPUT OF
PASSENGER CARS

Before another year has passed
very material and surprising redue-
ton viii be made in the number Of
passengers ears built by American
Automobile manufacturers in the
record year Of 1917, when the output
was about one and thFss-auartsFs
million machines.
This curtailmsnt Of output Is In
svitabIe. No government request or
order will be required. 4 makers
agreement will not be necessary. The
reason Is obvious. Cest Ia guerre.
Uncle Sam has called upon the
automobile makers Of this country to
supply him with thousands OF light
ing men and thousands OF motor
trucks, and in order TO furnish both
the production OF passenger cars
must be eurtailed," said George u.
Dickson, president Of the National
Motor Car Vehicle Corporation Of
Indianapolis. Manufacturing sched-
ules must be cut until It hurts, and
then cut some more. There IL no
other alternative.
The orders for military trucks are
continually increasing as the Govern
ment adds more men to its hshting
forces and army officials decide to
motoriIs old divisions that heretofore
depended on horses and mules for
transport Under normal conditions
there Is no doubt that the pass
engar car factories would be able to
hll these truck orders without sacri-
hcing their regular production.
Now the number OF men who are
competent to build these trucks 10
steadily decreasing. They are enlist
ing In the several branches Of the
service or their numbers are being
called in the draft
"As these mechanics discard their
shop clothes the manufacturers that
have Government contracts must call
upon the reserves in order to deliver
the trucks on schedule time. These
reserves are employed in the manu-
facture Of passenger cars.
The cuFtailmeut OF the passenger
car output should not be interpreted
a. an Indictment OF the passenger
car as = non-essentiaL The Govern
ment realizes that the need for pass
enger cars was never as great as IL
Is today. They are q means Of doing
more work ir less time and with
fewer men. Like the trucks, they
have proven to be . vital factor in
the relief Of the Overburdened rail-
roads.
"But the military trucks come FIRST
Because OF this impending cuFtail-
ment Of the passenger car produc-
ton, the warning cry of Buy your
automobile now never had a more
sincere and truthful ring"

We still miss them terribly, but
very few days has shown us that
there are prospective big brothers"
everywhere. We had scarcely mov-
ed into our new quarters when the
most fatherly gray-haired old colonel
you ever saw came in to see us
He offered us any help at his com
mand, and comes in twice every day
to see that all is going well. He is
almost too fatherly in the way he
hovers over us, for he puts restric-
tions on where we can go. But they
are for our good, and we appreciate
his interest. A sergeant soon turned
up with a wife at home and facul-
ty for housework, and big brothers"
are growing in number Americans
are pretty generally Of the big
brother type, we have found.
