Only 3 Makes
OF Cars for
British Import
Present Allotment Is Limit
ed to Ford, Overland and
studebaker; Other Cars
Are French and Italian

Although Great Britain has repealed
its restrictions on the import of motor
cars, it is reported that the abolition
of these restrictions may be only tenn
porary A new rationing plan allowing
cars and trucks to be imported in pro-
portion to the average number import
ed in 1912-15 may be adopted. Up to
September 1, 1919, imports have been
ratioined on the basis Of so per cent Of
the 1913 imports in average monthly
quantities.
Under present uncertain conditions
surrounding the exporting of cars to
European countries, and the desire on
the part of all American makers to OBJ
tain wider distribution of their prod
ucts in foreign fields, it is interesting
to note that the final apportionment
announced by the British government
permits the entry of only three Amer
lean made automobiles.
In special communication to auto
motive Industries" the London corre-
spondent says: "The American appor-
tionment of the 5000 cars which the
ported, in addition to the former ra-
tioning scheme, has been apportoned
as follows: Ford, 2.579; Studebaker,
1853; Overland, 494 Total, 3.s42.
"The rest of the 5000 is to come
from the French and Italian makers.
1t was at first presumed that the Amer
lean factories would get the entire al
lowance.
"The American figures are proper
tional to the total imports during the
years of 1912 and 1915, exclusive

greatly disappointed by the failure Of
the government to give them definite
statement on what they may expect in

Clidden Tour for 1920

At the Boosters outing on
Wednesday Richard Kennerdell,
chairman Of the Contest Board Of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, was discussing with R. NJ.
Owen the prospects for New York
to San Francisco Glidden tour in
1920. Mr.. Owen said ne would put
at least three Owen Magnetics into
the tour If it were held. C. H.
Larson, the Oldsmobile distributor
for New York, when he heard about
Mr.. Ovens statement, said he
would put car in, too.
There is q very good prospect
that other manufacturers and deal
ers, as we'll as, no doubt, few own
ers, will nominate cars for the tour.
It will certainly be a very testing
competition for automobiles, be-
cause although the first half Of the
trip is simple enough, west of Chi
cago it begins to be a real tryout
for the car and its parts.

SUICIDE AT SUMMERFIELD

Many Ocala people were shocked
this morning to hear of the death at
Summerfield of Mrs. R. E. Downs.
Mrs. Downes shot herself twice. She
set the butt of the gun on the floor
and bent over to bring the muzzle
against her body. The first shot was
not effective, and she shifted the gun
muzzle an inch or two. so the second
shot went right thru her heart. She
lived only few minutes.
Mrs. Downes' act was probably ow-
ing to the fact that she had been in
i'll health for some time. She was in
the city Friday, the guest of Mrs.
Ola Potter, and Mrs. Potter noted
that she was very nervous and de-
pressed.
Mrs. Downes with her husband and
daughter, Miss Cecile. came to Sum-
merfield from Cedar Rapids. Ia,
about twelve years ago, and made
many friends not only around their
home, but in Ocala, where they were
frequent visitors. Mr.. Downes was
at his home when the tragedy took
place, but their daughter, who was
married about a year ago, is at her
home in a northern city. Great SYM
pathy is felt for Mr.. Downes and his
daughter in their sorrow over this
tragical event.
Mrs. Downes' remains were taken
in charge by McIver & MacKay, but
the funeral arrangements are not
known vet

Senator Riddle fears a milk famine
here unless city hall authorities make
it possible for the small dairyman to
resume business.
Senator Riddle declared that the
law passed by the legislature at it's
special session in 1917, to regulate
cold storage and the destruction OF
food stuffs, is a good law with the ex-
ception that it's penalties are not
heavy enough. She also thinks that
the processes of getting at food
hoarders and profiteers under this law
are too slow. At the approaching
special session she will probably in
troduce measure giving officials the
right to obtain evidence under oath,
strengthening the penalties and pro-
viding quicker action against those
who are responsible for the soaring
food costs.
A half dozen wholesale milk dealers
of the city were called before the gov
ernor's commission Wednesday to tes-
tify regarding conditions in the busi-
ress here. None of the testimony was
given under oath.
Morris II. Robinson, president of
the Climax Dairy company, was the
first witness examined. He said that
he buys milk. which runs per cent
butter fat for 21.6 cents a gallon and
sells it wholesale for 35 cents. He
does not sell retail.
While denying that there is ar
agreement between distributors as tt
what they will charge for their milk
he admitted frankly that whenever he
gets ready to increase the price of the
product he calls other dealers and in.
forms them of the new price he is tt
set.
In 1913, he said, his company made
net profit of $1,000! Although hi:
company's capital stock is but $25, 1000
he claimed an investment of $4,000
Three years ago he paid AZ cent
Tor butter fat, and now he pays 81
cents, he said. Three years ago h.
| sold milk for 20 cents gallon, AM
now he sells it for 35 cents, he de
clared. He added that milk is get
ting scarce and he expects to pay 5
q pound for butter fat during the com
ing winter.
Senator Riddle charged that Robin
son, at meeting of distributors a
the Albany hotel June 7, proprosed
cut of 2 cents in the price paid to pro
ducers, but the other distributors re
fused to agree to the slash in price
Robinson denied this.
