From War to Peace in the Automobile
Industry

AS single industry the automobile trade did
more than it's bit to help win the war Not only
did manufacturers up to specifications in
quantity and quality of delivery, but they built
better than it was thought they knew how. Proof
of this was given the other day when, at an auc-
ton of old army cars in France, the French and
the English bid higher prices for the cars than
they cost the American government An
army of men was employed to run these trucks
and cars on the firing line. They gained more
experience in month of that sort of work than
they could have gained in a lifetime of peace
work
The rolling stock will be left abroad, but the
men are coming back. They are being released
daily from the military service and are returning
in large numbers to civilian life There is no lack
of work for them to do. For the fleet of Ameri-
can trucks coming into use for additional
transportation facilities all over the country need
just such men-men who have learned how to act
in any emergency, who feel almost Immediately
the idiosyncracies of every motor, who have &C
quired an efficiency under shell fire that will
make them leaders in their work in peace times.
Col. Arthur Woods assistant to the secretary
of war, who is in charge of the unemployment
work for ex-service men, announces that num-
Der of such men are now available for private en-
ploy The automobile industry will not lose this
opportunity of obtaining men who, to their pre-
war ability, have added the exceptional training
and experience of months the firing line
These men will be in demand, and can be obtained
through governmental and welfare employment
agencies who will put them in touch with employ
ors who need their services.

Sugar Consumption

An explanation for the alleged shortage Of
sugar is found by some analysts in the unpre-
cedented consumption of the product. American
refineries these experts say, have been unable to
meet the demand although raw sugar is abund-
ant. Since the United States went dry, consump-
ton has increased $4,000 tons monthly, on re-
turns for two weeks in July. Indulgence in sweet
drinks is assigned cause.
Almost all of us will remember the days not
so long ago when sugar was rationed. Then the
consumption in the United States dropped from
IS to As pounds per capita annually. But since
the armistice has been signed the citizens of the
United States have gone back to the consumption
of sugar with renewed vigor. Indications now
are that the consumptions will exceed all pre-
vious figures.
The 1919-192O sugar season begins with a
prospect of 1,10S,0 900 short TONS made by the bu-
reau of crop estimates Of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture, or about 1880 tons
more than the average of the preceding six years.
The beet sugar forecast for this year is higher
than the record crop of 1915-1916 by nearly
$4,000 tons.

Dinner Stories

A politician who is a great walker
was out enjoying his favorite recrea-
ton. After going a few miles he sat
down to rest.
Want a lift, Mister" asked
good-natured farmer driving that wav,
Thank YOU" responded the politi-
can; i VIII avail myself Of your Of
Ter. HsH
The two rode on in silence for a
while. Presidently the farmer asked:
professional man."
Yes" answered the politician, who
was thinking Of bill he had pend
ing before the house After another
long pause the farmer observed:
You amt a lawyer, or you'd be
amt got a bag, and yau amt a
preacher, from the looks Of you. What
is your profession?"
Il am a politician" was the reply,
The farmer gave snort Of dis
gust. Politics amt no profession;
politics is business" said he.
Senator John ". Smith Of Mary
land recalled the following story to
illustrate the great drought of some
legal arguments:
Some time since a rather youthful
lawyer had a case in which he wish
ed to make hit, and to that end he
looked UP authorities that took him
back to the days of Julius Caesar
At the end of an hour and a half he
was panied to observe what loot 4
like inattention on the part of the
court. Apparently the judge was
not approaching the fine points OF
his argument. Your honor" said
he, pausing in his pleas and turning
to the bench, Il beg pardon. but

Il have so far" answered the Judge,

A Few Don'ts

Don't work three hundred and sixty-five days
a year notwithstanding that some other trojans
did that year after year in their days of struggle.
Take vacations.
Don't however, let pleasure-seeking supplant
understanding.
Don't become wholly self-centered.
Don't succumb to the temptation to be too
busy to have any time to be nationally sociable
Don't forget that there are express trains
to the SUBMITS of success.
Don't look for any escalator to do your climb
ing for you.
Don't depend upon others to push you along.
Don't count upon any "pull" which you your
self did not create.
Don't fancy that others succeeded because Of
mere luck and that you are where you are solely
because luck did not come your way.
Don't expect to hear Opportunity knocking at
your door until you have trained yourself to rec
Ognze her when she comes.
Don't eat more than you feel you have to.
Don't oversleep.
And finally:
Don't forget that things are apt to go right if
we do.-Forbes Magazine.

Rive years.
Two million In number, they have
gone through an experience which
was certain to alter them. What
changes may have been made in their
character and opinions we cannot
tell.
Probably their military training
will lead them to demand more exact

rangements. But this is entirely sub
