METAlS-Record Export
Steel Sales IL, SeDfenibey

Warehouses are rapidly being cleaned
out of steel supplies, according to "The
Iron Review" which predicts that a
continuance of present conditions for
several weeks win leave the jobbers
entirely bare of stocks. Much of the
available stock of steel products is
going outside the country. Septembe ber
established new record in the volume
OF export iron and steel sales. Sellers
are advising buyers to hold off from
further purchases at this time on ac-
count Of the curtailed output resulting
from the strike.

to come. and it has become necessary
tor them to obtain sufficient quantities
OF hides to fill these contracts. SO far
their buying has been confined to small
lots. Prices for all grades of hides are
firmly held.
Tanners declared yesterday they have
received inquiries from European
sources relative to prices for leather,
but no orders worth mentioning have
been forthcoming. The general opn-
ion in the trade is that once the ex-
change rates are brought closer to par
ity European buyers will place orders
for large quantities Of both hides and
leather.

Drinks in Active Demand

Enforcement of prohibition has
stimulated good sales of carbonate
of potash, used in the manufacture of
carbonic Gus, and tartaric acid, which
enters into the manufacture Of many
scft drinks. In order to eliminate
European competition American manu-
facturers of tartaric acid recently re-
duced prices to levels said to be be
low the actual cost of production in
Europe. The high shipping rates are
further bar to imports.

JAPAN WANTS AUTOMOBILES.
Representatives Are Hero Now
Making Thorough InvestiRatfon,

Japan offers a fertile field for the
American automobile manufacturer, ac-
cording to statements made by two Japa-
nese naval officers who recently visited
the works of the Franklin Automobile
Company at Syracuse, n. Y, as part of
a tour of inspection OF American indus
trial enterprises known for their scien-
ufc management.
The two wl.l Engineer Commanders
Yoschi Nishi and Tokici kodachi. Both
are in this country to supervise the pur-
chase of several million dollars worth OF
supplies and to Gull ideas OF scientific
American factory management to take
back with them. They are in chrage of
the electrical and mechanical engineering
projects of the japanese navy, and while
hero they visited scientific leaders in
several different enterprises. including
the Bethlehem Steel Works. Franklin
Automobile Company. Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company
and several others.
American cars are widely known in
Japan. Commander Nishi said, especially

MOTOR RACING Is
NOW PURELY ASPORT
There Was q Time When Man.
ufacturers Used 1t for

There was a time when automobile
racing was one OF the important events
on the motoring calendar. because aside
from It's sporting features 1t had Sc
rious purpose in helping TO make auto
mobiles better" says William c. Poert-
ner. president of the Poertner Motor Car
COMPANY, metropolitan distributor for
National and Scripps- Booth cars.
Racing is no longer looked upon as
anything except a sporting proposition.
and 1t is doubtful IL a contest Of any real
Instructive nature will be held during
the present season. In the early days
practically every important motor car
manufactures had q racing team. 1t is
seven years since the National Motor
Car and Vehicle Corporation OF Indian
apolis sponsored a racing team. How
ever. the official records of the contest
board OF the American Automobile AS

show that several marks established by
National cars prior to the company
withdrawal from competition have yet
to be beaten.
THE following American records are
credited to the National: Speedway

records were esta blished on the Indian

REMOVE GLASS FROM ROADS.
Every Motorist should Help in
CLEANUP.

Every motorist owes a duty 20 him
self and TO all other drivers TO stop
HIS car and remove from the highway all
broken glass or other substance danger
Gus 70 tires which he notices in his
travels.
The United States Tire Company rec
om:nends that a small brush or broom
be made part of the equipment OF each
automobile. and that the automobile
owners OF the country pledge themselves
70 stop their cars and sweep of from
the highway any glass or harmful sub
stance encountered. II each AUTOMOBILE
list would follow such a policy 1t would
rot be necessary for the average man TO
remove glass more than a few times
u year.
When a cluster OF broken bits of
~,ess Is allowed to remain on a highway
until II has been entirely swept off by
tires or carried away embedded In tires,
probably hundreds of cars have their
tires more or less injured before the
glars disappears. II Il Is removed by
ether machines are free from danger of
tire trouble.
The automobile club OF wilkesbarre,
Pa, Is the first automobile group in the
country to adopt this suggestion. At a
recent meeting OF the club the members
committed themselves to the glass re-
moving programme. Each member OF
the club will keep a careful record as &c
the number OF times he has to stop to
remove glass and will also try to form
a judgment as to how the glass came
to be on the road. Other clubs are ex.
pected to follow their example and en-.
roll their members as knights Of the
broom"
One thing is certain; the person who
drops bottles on the highway for the
pleasure of hearing them break has be
come very unpopular ana Is going u
become more 50.

INSPECT IGNITION
BEFORE THAT TOUR
A Little Care Before the Start
Will Prevent Trouble
Later.

Many Americans who have been look
ing forward to trip to Europe to see
the battlehelds before they get straight
ened OUT will be disappointed. The
unsettled conditions abroad do not
promise much comfort or pleasure from
such a jaunt even IL passport difficulties
and other such trifies as steamship ac-
commodations did not exist. SO the slo-
gan See America frstr' which was
started before the war for the purpose
OF diverting some OF the millions OF dol
lars yearly and increasingly spent by
shiploads Of Americans. is likely TO have
more effect this year. Automobiling via
tho Lincoln Highway Is likely to be-
como the fad OF the season.
In preparing for this trip automo-
bilists must look we'll to their ignition.
The electric system Of the car should
be Thoroughly overhauled. II battery
system Is used II Is advisable to be
doubly careful. as 1t would be very UNI
pleasant 70 be stalled miles away from
any service station, perhaps while cross
Ing the desert where 1t is very dry. or
the swampy districts OF the South, where
the wetness might not be welcome
either. Also to be stalled under such
conditions is annoying and expensive.
All maps should be carefully studied
and clearly marked to show all service
stations where the batteries can be re-
plenished and put right In some parts
of the South, among the Rocky Noun
tains. on the Texas plains, over the
beautiful Apache Trail and In some parts
of the Arizona desert, service stations
are not very close together when
needed, nor is camping OUT always an
unmlxed Joy.
II battery is used these inspection
cautions are useful; put water In every
let the electrolyte spill on top of bat
terry An open fame In the same room
with a charging battery or an open
battery is dangerous. Don't permit bat
terry to stand without a charge be sure
there are no worn spots IN the insula-
ton wire; examine all terminals
there are usually ten--and keep them
tight; be sure all plates are without a
charge. Allow no sediment to collect
in the cells. Don't connect terminals
to the wrong poles or let them come In
contact with battery box: test with a
hydrometer at least once a week sec
that your battery Is never overcharged
Don't permit plates to become buckled
by lack Of water; turn off your ignition
and light switches when you stop your
engine or your battery may run out
II the car Is equipped with magnetic
ignition It Is only necessary TO see that
the contact points are clean and to
put a drop OF oil IN the bearings. Then
there will be no fear Of being stalled
anywhere because OF ignition troubles
